I won't be rating anything. Unfortunately, the rating is per song and not per instrument. There are very few (if any) songs I don't find enjoyable on at least one instrument.

Visions? GONE. Like it never existed.

Visions is like fine wine.

Plus ridiculously fun on vocals!

Moot point so far.

I'm only going to rate songs in reference to drums. Luckily I don't really play any other instruments, besides possibly getting into Key's, but there's no way I'll be as into them as I am with drums.

Turns to vinegar? Arrrrh...
You make me sad.

I thought that when i bought RB1. I was like "Drums will be a neat diversion, but i'll always go back to guitar."

Uh, yeah - I was fucking way off on that one.

I really don't get this. Why would they ship out PS3 keyboards and not 360 or Wii ones? Amazon is making me

Same reason why the Wii keyboards have been at gamestop for a couple weeks now I guess?

(I don't know the answer either)

Yeah, well, there is no way I'll be into keyboards as much as drums. Pro-Mode drums has made me love it even more than ever before. I could be wrong, but that's how it is for right now. Even still, so few songs (currently) have keyboard support, I can keep that rating mentally for now.

I dunno. Like I said other than the tracking information on my order page, I wouldn't have known it shipped. No email. Nothing. And the original ship date said sometime in November. Randomly the thing just made it's way to my doorstep (to be confirmed upon my arrival).

Maybe I missed this somewhere in the thread, but why does Xbox.com say RB3 has 1250 Gamerscore points?

Because it does?

I don't know, but whoever's pic that is that you posted can eff off!!

aren't there points now for DLC? Like play 5 songs from bands with Dave Grohl in it or something like that?

250 GS for DLC.

Yeah, there are 250 out-of-the-box points for various DLC achievements.

Ultra lame way to get people to pick up old DLC they don't want just for points.

I'm pretty sure it's lamer to pick up old DLC you don't want just for points.

I just downloaded the RBN megamix...incase it was part of the "get all free songs"

To be fair, there's very little restriction on what has to be downloaded, it's mostly generic.

Generic:
20g - Play a downloaded song.
25g - Beat all of the free downloadable songs for Rock Band.
15g - Beat 5 downloaded songs.
15g - Beat 12 downloaded songs.
15g - Beat 20 downloaded songs.
25g - Melt faces by beating any three '80s Metal songs.

Kinda Specific:
15g - Download and play three songs from a band that has Harmonix team members in it.
15g - 5 Star any Boston song. (Including FP/LT from RB1, I assume)
30g - Beat 5 songs from any band that has had Dave Grohl as a member.

Very Specific:
30g - Earn 5 stars on Vocals on a downloaded Queen song.
15g - Play a downloaded Queen song.
30g - Get a 200 note streak on "The Perfect Drug".

It's not. It's 4 songs for the Goal to get the achievement.

Still Alive, Headphones On, Promised Land, and one other one. I can't remember, as I'm not at home right now. It wasn't the RBN Megamix or the Big Fish song.

I'm surprised you can't remember. It's the ultimate crabcore song!

they had a free crabcore song? Fuck. Time to start working on my quads. That's going to be tough to crab and drum at the same time though.

Unless it's Charlene in the style of crabcore, then I'm golden.

On the Dave Grohl and Boston achievements, I'm pretty sure they have to actually be "downloaded" songs. When I did the sort for songs with Grohl in them, only DLC showed up.
