£££ Rockband- Unofficial thread £££

Mine finally arrived yesterday. Jumped straight in on hard drums and I've got about half way through without failing yet. The points I'm losing are because some of the notes are missing and I'm hitting the bass pedal (correctly, they are songs that I can play on the drums!), but because it's on hard, it doesn't want me to play them. :)

Learn to Fly is so awesome on the drums, they've recreated it superbly.

My new 360 has arrived as well, my tag is Worthy82 if you want to add me. :)

I've started the guitar on medium too, I'm enjoying it more than the drums! :)
 
Picked this up yesterday to play with my GH3 controller, with my brother on the 360 headset.

So far I'm finding it a lot more fun with a much gentler learning curve, unlike GH3 which just annoyed me after a while. Only problem is my slowly dying screen now has the edges of the guitar neck burned into the screen :eek:
 
Managed to do a few songs on Hard on the drums...Learn to Fly, the Paramore song and a couple more, so satisfying! Also had a mate round so we had guitar and drums going :p
 
Zig zags - Main hand on lower 2, tap highest on solo buttons
Quads - Tap highest, pull off lower
Trips at end - Index on yellow, tap big blue and little orange.

this game is slaying my tv as well ;( i have an annoying box with the scores in it that just wont ruddy dissappear
 
I only bought the Drums and Solus so I have been using the Explorer. To make things even worse my disc has just been destroyed. Not entirely sure how it has happened but it is ruined.
 
****ing finally done the bowie song on hard. Although I nearly blew it at the end when I started celebrating for the song to start again :eek:
 
Last tier to go on hard!

Just like Green Grass on medium drums was in the wrong tier imo, Sufregette city on hard guitar in tier 5 on hard guitar is in the wrong tier. Everything from after that song to tier 8 has been a piece of ****.

I dont think you expert boys will notice it but i'm a medium player and on GH and i've walked through hard on this apart from the bowie song.

Naturally i'm expecting this last tier to give me ****. I will try it after a break.
 
Just been playing with a proper mic instead of the headset and found it much easier due to better sensitivity. I found that I was getting pretty much the same % (~90)on every difficulty for the songs I knew, my biggest problem is that a lot of them are too low for me since I'm a top soprano :rolleyes:. I really can't get songs I don't know with the vocals though, the bars just aren't accurate enough for sight-singing.
 
Make a cd for the car or get the songs as mp3's on your phone :D

Is what I do :) Everywhere I drive has GH/RB music going now :> Really expanded my tastes too :)

Oh yeah and I think you'll find that I am now the owner of the achievement:

'Flawless Groove'

Not much to shout about after whatshisface up there 100% drums but hey ho :p

(Paranoid as well :p)

Yeah, my boyfriend has threatened to load up my ipod with all of the rock band songs so I can be the singer for his band!

Why are you finding it so much easier on hard in RB than in GH then danny?

Thinking of picking up solus soon, then get the drums at some point.

I literally failed two songs on the way to Sandman in the last tier. The bowie song and Epic once. The rest as a medium GH player I can breeze through even playing poorly.

The reason is you get much much longer on hard to change to and fro from orange on rockband than you do on GH. Also on rockband they give you a lot more contant fast chords with fewer pattern changes.

You can also get through hard songs by just saving half a star power bar and waiting til your almost dead. Activate it your bar goes back to the top again even if you only hit one in 5 notes.

Evidence of this is the bowie song, I hit 70% of the notes with a 18 note streak.

If I go back to GH2 or 3 later and try the songs i'm stuck on on hard I bet they will still seem to hard even though I've now had lots of 5 fret practice.

Which BTW I can only do the first song on hard on GH3.

Rockband is a really poor single player guitar game, the effort has been put into splitting the songs down for lead and bass guitar in tour mode and thats where it works so well. Not to mention the drums. The singing is rubbish, not a patch on or any where near as good as a singstar game.

Even though I adore the drums I still prefer playing the guitar after a couple of beers so once I've finished hard it will be back to Guitar Hero for me.
 
Just beat Paranoid on hard drums, that's a leg killer!

Also 'The Hand That Feeds'on hard drums is a real fun song to play!
