For some reason, on the drums, I confuse the yellow pad with the drum pedal. I dunno why, but every time a yellow comes up, I press the pedal, and whenever the bar comes up, I hit the yellow. ;_;
when I went to walmart to play it, it didn't have the pedal
and, wtf?^^ lol
and, wtf?^^ lol
I know, but it still isn't as good as I expected
besides, my step brother broke the guitar

Yeah, people are complaining about the peripherals. . .
I can drum, somewhat, so I just go into expert.
It's still hard because I really suck. . .but I can do it!

You must have really high expectation then, lol, because if they tried to make its an exact drum, it would piss several people off. Your thinking like 9 parts, which would be horrible, not only for a reaction time but also how much space it would take. What I am trying to say I guess is the drums they have for Rock Band is more practical for the gaming environment. =/
Yeah, I hear a lot of complaints about how well built some of the peripheral is. Some Youtube videos even show ppl taping up their drums because they are faulty and not tight with its making. Also, the old prototypes of the Rock Band Guitar's strum bar was easily broken, and hopefully they fixed it for the final release.Stravos said:
Well, it can easily teach you to play a simple 4/4. . .

*Bump.... again....*
I am bring a resurrection of this thread because i know several ppl got this game for Christmas... why this thread keeps dying is beyond me.
Just a few side notes to add...
1. Drums are a blast ppl, don't buy the game alone because it aint worth it!
2. Rock Band Special Edition (PS2) is incredible hard to find, and I know there are ppl out there that are still stuck with PS2. You might have to wait a few weeks till orders are filled again because it seems almost every store is sold out at store and online. [Amazon asking $250 for the set...]

I played Rock Band at my friends house, and it was blast. The drums are alot of fun. I love the free style drum breaks.
Guitar/Bass are pretty cool. At first, though, I had trouble with the HOPO's and rectangular notes. And i found it really hard to get my self to use the solo buttons.
The peripheral is mediocre IMO. The strum bar doesn't give that satisfying click that I'm used to, but has transplanted that noise to the frets. Which are flush, meaning that I often pass over the orange button. I also ended up holding down frets by accident since i wrap my thumb around the neck a little.
Vocals are more fun than I tought, once you get over being embarrassed.

I got it for Christmas too. I haven't had a lot of time to really sit down and drill into the game, but from what I played on Christmas with family, it's the best party game ever invented.

Well, if that isn't the truth I don't know what is.
It does seem like a very good family/party game.

XDD SK started liking Welcome Home apparently. I don't blame you, its my favorite song on Rock Band.
I can do Maps on Expert Drums. That song has the best beat ever.
Maps? I'll have to check that one out. . .
I want to learn Welcome Home on guitar (real). . .
I loved that song, just didn't realise it til Rock Band.
Also didn't realise that I kinda like I'm so Sick. . .

Quote for truth. My dad is a drummer in real life, and a huge fan of Rush. The first song he ever played was Tom Sawyer on expert, and he got 95% while barely even paying attention to the notes on screen. Apparently he just memorized what each colored pad represented and played it the same way it would be played on a real drum set.
On the other hand, I play guitar in real life, and frankly it hasn't helped me at all in playing Rock Band. If anything it is a disadvantage because I am used to a bigger fretboard, the feeling of a string digging into the tips of my fingers, etc. etc. I usually only play on Medium or Hard because I simply can't keep up with the notes on screen. Yet all of my friends, who have never laid their hands on a real guitar in their lives, can play Expert with their eyes closed.
Anyway, I got this game for Christmas and haven't found a whole lot to complain about. Except for the peripherals. My guitar already broke, and my replacement package still hasn't arrived after ordering nearly a week ago.
And frankly I'm not crazy about the setlist. Flyleaf? Fall Out Boy? Make me gag.
