I actually would quit out and re-enter sometimes so I could get a good band there. I mean, sometimes thoes guys cramp my guy's style.

Yes, I don't want to be mean to those bands in the first post (I like a lot of them by the way) but they look a little like 2nd grade compared to those who were in the original Rock Band.
IMO.
edit : they're talented, sure. But do these have the same exposure than the Stones or Bowie for example ? That's why I talk about impact.
Well, if I didn't have RB already and I had to choose between RB1 and 2 after both were released I'd take RB1 without an hesitation.
omg rite said:
I'd compare them more in their own genre/style and era.
Like Strokes >>>>>> Hot Hot Heat.
edit : There's a genre in which RB2 improved, it's thanks to RATM and SOAD. Not my favourite style unfortunately.
edit 2 : "Soundgarden, Grateful Dead" I already had these ones.

Awesome if true, but I doubt it (Finger Eleven mistake ruins it). Hot for Teacher would be soooooooo awesome.

The video shows them going through the difficulties and it doesnt list the bands.
So it could be them just guessing it's Finger Eleven.
Video looks very real, but it might not be

I know. I hate seeing a fake list with a band I'd love to have in the game. I would love to see No Doubt, Sublime and Phish in Rock Band 2.AstroLad said:
I think Phish would be a great band to have since they're all awesome musicians. I don't think Farmhouse would be the best choice, but I'd love to see Stash. One of my favorite Phish songs.

But what can you do, I'm so hyped for this game.

I do not avoid women, GAF, but I do deny them my essence.
If this game doesn't have the online content that the PS3 version needs I'm going to be so pissed. It's almost broken right now. It's seriously a disaster.

When it comes around, can whoever makes the Official Rock Band 2 thread name it "Kathleen Turner Overdrive" (or "Barry Jive and the Uptown Five"). That would be so awesome.

I simply don't understand this mindset.Dr_Cogent said:
All that fun and all those good times you had playing the game for the past nine months is somehow negated by the announcement of a sequel? A sequel that happens to include features everyone has been clamoring for?
I simply don't get it, unless your in PAL Land, but in that case you won't be getting the game in September anyway.
for friendly competition it's a must. but for online and not with friends... yeah, it sucks.Stabby McSter said:why?

I'm guessing he bought it much more recently than launch. I don't think anyone who has had the game for at least 4-6 months already hasn't gotten more than their fair use out of it so far. At the same time those who bought the game within the past couple of months I could see this as being annoying, especially with the promise of much better hardware coming with it.sublime085 said:
