The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution
 

Rock band 3 drops October 26th, 2010 and pushes the medium to new heights. 3-part harmonies like those introduced in The Beatles: Rock Band, as well as new 25-key keyboard peripheral, and "Pro Mode" for guitar, drums, and keyboards to give seasoned musicians a more inviting interface as well as encourage nerds like us to take the next step to the "play a real guitar, already" advice we've been hearing for years.

But we, as a community, suck shit apparently.

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution
 

Whew. Now if someone else *cough* Shagrath *cough* wants to come in and elaborate on the new engine additions and instruments, feel free!

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution
 

Wow, you put that together fast! You know what, motherfucker, if you're not too busy yourself start your own damn threads! I QUIT!

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution
 

Stole it from rockbandaide's page source.

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution
 

Needs more Meatloaf.

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution
 

My wife made it last week, it was pretty good :nopanic:

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution
 

There was at least a Dead song on the list! :D

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution
 

But I can't score a rumor yet! That reminds me, I need to put the penalty column in there too.

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution
 

Hey, L&O - your playlist has Pour Some Sugar on Me instead of Foolin'.

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution
 

Ain't my playlist, I stole the source link from Rockbandaide.

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution
 

Well, I think you should create the playlist and fix my thread instead of tarding it all up.

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution
 

too busy.

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution
 

BLACK SABBATH'S HOLE IN THE SKY?!!

If Hole In The Sky is seriously going to be DLC, I promise to personally apologize to every pigeon I ever kicked. HOLY COW. Best Black Sabbath song ever. Possibly.

And while I'm at it, if you passed up listening to their Sabotage album because of the craptacular cover, listen to it immediately. One of their greatest albums (after Master of Reality).

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution
 

Symptom of the Universe needs to be in the game, pronto!

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution
 

Sorry.. Don't have the energy to contribute large amounts of time to this thread anymore, if it's just gonna get closed from time to time.

I'm still here, and will pop in with new info whenever it hasn't already been posted though.

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution
 

I wonder if we'll ever get any Dio-Sabbath stuff

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution
 

Still sad about that? Time to move on past it.

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution
 

I thought you were busy? Stop posting, jerkwad.

:banana:

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution
 

I was, then wasn't.

Side note: Keyboard solo in TBD is going to fucking ROCK!

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution
 

I recorded it about 3 months ago and can't wait for more royalties to roll in!

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution
 

I haven't found any Pepsi Rock Band caps yet. What gives?

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution
 

I guess I'll have to wait until Rockband 4 to get some god damn Queensryche.
