The intro to Move Along is pretty tough on hard, but once you get the hang of it it's one of my fav songs to play.

Speaking of hard... I got to the teir with Coheed and Vasoline on hard... these bass pedal beats are kicking my ass.

1/29/2008 11:36:51 AM

Move Along is my favorite song to play in RB, whole lotta fun.

1/29/2008 1:44:01 PM

i finally beat "run to the hills" on hard last night at 87%. haven't even tried it on expert. any other downloadable songs with fun drum parts like "move along"? we've got fortunate son, my iron lung, buddy holly, the qotsa songs already..

1/29/2008 2:18:36 PM

just can't survive the opening to boston on hard(drums). really pissing me off.

heard it on the radio today, everlong by foo's would be a fun drum song I think.

1/29/2008 6:41:03 PM

everlong would be amazing

1/29/2008 7:02:45 PM

^^that bass pattern is ridiculous i agree

1/29/2008 7:37:35 PM

played this game first time at a friends this past weekend. lol, the only thing im really good at was singing.

1/29/2008 7:37:48 PM

I wouldn't mind a full Foo album.

You gotta figure the only reason they haven't released any DLC for them is b/c they have a full album DLC release coming up, right???!?!?!

Also probably the reason they released that shitty Smashing Pumpkins song instead of something off of Siamese Dream.

1/30/2008 8:25:14 AM

i tried say it aint so last night on expert on drums just to see how i did (i'm still only a little over halfway through on medium on drums) and got 96% and 4.25 stars.

there are still a lot of songs i am terrible at on medium though

1/30/2008 8:53:09 AM

yeah, the first set on expert are easy as hell. Their drummers must just be fucking slacking all the time. like the guitar part on any blink song

1/30/2008 9:47:45 AM

Dave Grohl, slacking? surely you jest

1/30/2008 11:16:49 AM

RHC Dani California is really fun on Drums (Hard) IMO. It's challenging and has some parts that I haven't seen in other songs.

I also really like All the Small Things on drums.

fav. drum songs:

-Tom Sawyer
-Maps
-Vasoline
-Black Hole Sun
-Limelight

1/30/2008 1:14:28 PM

I've gotten into the nightmare song. The bass pedal is crazy but once you get it down its a pretty fun song. Finally got through the Boston song on hard, ended up just going into pure survival at the start just making sure I got the reds/bass. Once you get through the opening its a relatively easy song.

My roomate makes fun of me nonstop, but just so addicted...

1/30/2008 6:26:41 PM

Foreplay is such a badass intro

1/30/2008 9:34:42 PM

ncWOLFsu and I played against eachother on XBL just doing songs on Expert and OMG talk about tough, but you can't fail so it is a lot of fun and good practice.

Maps on Expert was so awesome though, I got like 90k in points and was estatic. I just can't hit the green triplets!

March DLC:

1/31/2008 11:06:04 AM

^^were you using both sticks?

the hardest part for me on those was not hitting the bass pedal 3 times as well. i was hitting the greens fine, but kept throwing in the extra bass hit.

1/31/2008 11:38:59 AM

Yeah I just can't really reach over there as well as I'd like sitting on my couch... so the green triplets were pwning me.

1/31/2008 11:41:02 AM

march dlc....meh but ill prob end up with nin, lynyrd, metallica, maybe police

1/31/2008 11:45:19 AM

ten speed (of god's blood and burial) is a fun song. not sure why they didn't just use the real version though, since they did already have Welcome Home.

either way, fun song.

1/31/2008 11:49:49 AM

^5 where do you get this information from?

1/31/2008 1:23:34 PM

They post them on the official Rock Band forums.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_rock_band_songs gets updated almost immediately after they are announced also.

1/31/2008 1:53:15 PM

I got it from http://www.xbox360fanboy.com

This site along with joystiq.com release the info and usually have Youtube vids attached as well so you can preview the songs.

2/1/2008 2:36:11 PM

my drums broke now...got new set coming

i also got my 3rd guitar now...this time its brand new unlike the 2nd time which was refurbished...

the new one is amazing, seems theyve fixed everything with the strum bar...it is now like spring loaded or something and it feels great....5 star everything now again

its amazing what a good working guitar can do

2/1/2008 4:53:18 PM

guess i'll try sending my guitar back again then and see if i get one that actually works.

2/1/2008 5:18:59 PM

yep me 2

too bad i dont have the needed funds in my account for that hold they put on it

2/1/2008 5:57:06 PM

my whammy bar broke, so I just set up an express exchange. My cc was expired and I never got the new one (or opened the mail it came in) so I guess I'll be 125 bucks poorer for a month or so.

2/1/2008 7:25:18 PM

/\6 I was posting from my phome while waiting on my car to be inspected. didnt /couldn't fact check easily. sry

2/1/2008 7:28:37 PM

^ don't lie. you were secretly excited about trying to 5 star britney on the mic.

2/1/2008 8:57:56 PM

i heard that on the week of feb 19 that "let's go to the mall" as made famous by Robin Sparkles* would be available for DLC.

2/2/2008 12:08:39 AM

^I'd buy that.

I've watched that episode probably 30 times since it first aired...

2/2/2008 12:11:30 AM

Seems my overdrive functionality has completely died. Could not get it to activate in 4 straight songs so I had to just sit there with 4x flashing and my wife on drums needing some help. Oh well, think the strum bar was dying anyways... my set was from launch so I would think the newer ones are much improved

2/2/2008 3:20:05 AM

in observance of black history month, there will be no ROCKband dlc for the month of february....
but in all seriousness, rockband could use a good song from hendrix, chuck berry, and ratm.

i haven't played much in past few weeks since i beat guitar and drums on expert. but i found a pretty good 'mod' to the drum pedal: a small, brown paper sack from burger king or the local gas station with a purchase of a 40. wad up sack, stick under pedal. looks ghetto but makes it a lot easier. 5-starred paranoid first time through with the paper sack. want to try a sponge sometime soon and see if that works better.

2/2/2008 3:31:57 AM

I've been 1 song from completing the guitar expert solo tour for a few weeks now, fucking GGAHT... I make it to 84% everytime and then bomb out. I've spent hours in practice mode but I don't know if I'm ever going to get it.

2/2/2008 3:37:41 AM

haha, yeah that song is a real bitch, even for all the guitar hero experts
i coasted through all the other songs until that one

i can't really explain it, but i think there is something a lil off on that song.
i play guitar irl and have been doing finger-tapping stuff for years, like the fingertapping section in van halen's eruption (fingertap-pulloff-hammeron-repeat). it took me over 10 tries (playing the whole entire fucking song) to get the timing right on the rockband guitar, which i still claim is completely different from a real guitar. not much advice i can give on that song, but gl.

honestly what do you expect when you say something wholly obvious as if it were some new profound idea that you came up with

we'll just say you were drunk then too

2/3/2008 4:38:55 PM

why, yes, yes i was

i meant in terms of performance, not aesthetics. but whatever.

hit a plateau in rockband. need to start going to practice mode for the last two sets, which is rly boring to me. i'm ready for gta4.

2/3/2008 5:06:38 PM

My friend just got this on a whim today and we played through the whole thing. Goddamn, my voice is sore.
