I mean, the song itself came out nearly a year after GH3.
It was a long time after GH3 came out that I played it. I've just had a look through the set list and I can't for the life of me figure out what else it could have been. How strange, I would have bet money it was that song.

Played "Maps" by the Yeah Yeah Yeah's on drums in RB1 and I was insta-hooked.

GH2 on the 360 was my first foray into the genre. I can remember I played Heart Shaped Box on medium, and did alright. But I got hooked. Can obviously play on expert, but can't 100 percent the hardest songs.

Interesting little preview about the new hardware

Probably a first tier song in GH2. I wanna say Possum Kingdom, but I don't specifically remember.

I absolutely adored GH3, pretty sure first song I played was Talk Dirty to Me. After I played the shit out of GH3 I tried Rock Band and instantly fell in love with the series. After World Tour came out I quit playing GH really, bar Metallica.
First song in RB that I played was In Bloom.

I was interested after Get Ready to Rokk in GH1, and hooked after Crossroads in that same game. I already knew who Harmonix was because of Amplitude, so it wasn't a massive leap.

Keep the suggestions coming, right now I'm looking at Rock Band 4 |OT| Toys out of the Attic
Interesting. Adapter for Xbox is being made at-cost and it's hardcoded to only work with the music instruments

Sweet Child O Mine is totally that song for me, too. That was the light bulb moment for me. I get it, what these games are trying to do. That song is where I learned how to play on expert, just practicing it over and over again until I finally just nailed it.
So I've always secretly hoped against hope that we could get a master of it in Rock Band.
kinda awesome that one of the bands are a bunch of kids(bassist is 9) that played rock band got hooked and startet playing real instruments and now are on RB4

Slash has been open about enjoying Rock Band, and the entire Chinese Democracy album is playable in Rock Band as well, so evidently Axl is okay with it. The big problem to date is the animosity between the two, and now that it's apparently been resolved, perhaps we can start seeing some classic GNR DLC.

Huh, I did not know that. I saw them on rock band's instagram and was jealous they got to go to harmonix's office lol.

Subete no aware
It would be TOO easy if they worked with wheels and other peripherals. I wonder if someone can "hack" one of these though... or maybe the guys who make those adapters can figure out a way to back-engineer one of these things to improve their device.

I would do just about anything to play the entirety of Appetite for Destruction in RB4.

Harmonix just put out this comedic video outlining the new features of RB4, hilarious.

Smoke on the water in the original GH made me a believer in each future release,
but
this was the song that made me say "fuck this whole guitar thing, drums is the true way of life"

I don't think I've seen any info on this, but does anybody know:
In Rock Band 3 (at least), it seems to be a pain in the ass to switch instruments and profiles (Profile 1 is playing guitar for a few songs, but then wants to switch instruments with Profile 2 for a few songs). Sometimes the option to switch instruments comes up but I can never get it to stick after other local profiles have signed in. Usually my siblings and I end up signing completely out and resigning in on each instrument we swapped and it's annoying as hell.
Is there a way to alleviate this?

If I'm not mistaken, I think you hit start in the menus, select drop out, and then do it with the other instruments as well. Then when you hit start on the instrument to join, it should give you the option to switch profiles.

I never got Blitz but actually quite like the songs in the game, if I buy it now do I then have to buy an export or does it just go into Rock Band 3 and 4?

Songs will automatically be added to RB3 when you buy and download the game. You'll get a prompt I think.

No export fee required! Rock Band Blitz has a lot of value.

cheers guys! Will grab that before RB4 comes out.
Guitar Hero II was the first game in the genre I played.
I started on Medium and the song that 'clicked' for me was Wolfmother's "Woman" (GH2 cover/chart). I kind of miss the 'added' solos in the covers - I still hear the Ziggy Stardust starting up in my head whenever I hear the actual song. (The next big 'click' moments were "War Pigs" on Hard, and "Crazy On You" when I moved to Expert).
For vocals, I think the 'click' moment was Radiohead's "Creep". For drums, playing the Yeah Yeah Yeahs' "Maps" on every tier as I advanced was fantastic - what a great inclusion.
So I just spent over 70 dollars on DLC in anticipation for RB4.
A couple of points. I would totally pay 25 plus dollars to transfer Rock Band 3 tracks to Rock Band 4. Please work on that.
Also whoever is in charge of choosing the final Rock Band 4 setlist, please move them into another position. I can deal with a bad original setlist for the game, but I would hope that future dlc has someone else in charge.

I thought long about this, and it would definitely be Sweet child of mine on Hard mode. I think that is where it clicked that I had to move my whole hand instead of struggling with my pinky. It was a big stepping stone for me.
For rock band, I fell in love playing drums the first second I got it, and found my love for singing as well.
For a while, after getting a mastery in rock band guitar and bass, I felt like there was nothing else I could conquer. Then Rb4 comes with these freestyle solos and I am going to fall back in love with guitar all over again, guys it's so good.

Yeah whoever chose their setlist did the game a huge disservice. In a pure setlist battle guitar hero is so much better. That person actually has listened to rock music in the past 10 years and picked some great songs.
I just think I died a little inside.

I mean, I have loved the series since GH1. Pretty much was on board right when I got the guitar in my hand and played on Medium. That setlist was money. Getting 100% on More Than a Feeling on Expert made me feel like a rock god.
But now that I'm on memory lane, I have two favorite moments ever in the Guitar Hero/Rock Band:
1. I was at a "business" competition with some Marines back in 2008. Our company and the local Marines had a friendly competition where we did a number of activities (cross country race, ping pong, Wii bowling, etc.) to build some camaraderie between us and the soldiers/leadership. There was a Guitar Hero competition because the soldiers had GH2 on site. I pretty much went to represent our company in that competition, and we ended up losing because someone who had never played before brought down our overall score lol.
But I hung out and played with the soldiers for a long while and a lot of them were impressed because I could play on Expert. Then, I played One for the Road by Breaking Wheel, and when it gets to the very end where there is a pause then a series of repetitive riffs, I turned my back to the TV and nailed the section. As I'm in the middle of it, one of them goes "Oh my God, he's Guitar Hero Rain Man!" or something like that. Which of course made me laugh and fucked up my rhythm, but it was pretty awesome.
2. My friends and I attended Magfest a number of years ago and they had a Rock Band tournament for the first time. The final five groups had to play live and were judged by some panel or whatever. We were the last group to go and we were on at, like, 2 AM or something, so we were tired as hell. So we went up and the lead singer, who is a good buddy of mine, truly is a deity at the game. So we did Blitzkrieg Bop (short song) and he went out in the audience and sang without ever looking at the lyrics and nailed it. Then we did Wave of Mutilation (another short song) to get done as soon as possible. Our last song was Don't Fear the Reaper.
So I was the guitarist and, although I could play on Expert and pretty much nail it on lots of songs, I talked with the lead singer and told him I couldn't really nail the first part of the solo on Reaper. I just couldn't get the color fingering properly. So I talked to him about giving him the guitar and letting him do it because he could easily nail it. But that would cause a problem on getting it back for the return to the opening riff and it just seemed too difficult. What we eventually came up with was I would hold the neck of the guitar and strum while he would do the color buttons. This is what it looked like:
We ended up winning and played an encore and got Mass Effect for free (already had it) and a trophy for winning the tournament (which I still have to this day).
Anyway, sorry to go off topic, but I love hearing people's gaming moments/memories and wanted to tell mine! Post here if you have favorite moments or memories of your own!
