Did anyone ask them for U2? I'm the only one in the world that wants U2 in the game.

Nah, most of the questions were actually related to what the panel was about - their history. Although, one guy did get up and ask them why they aren't releasing the full 360 Rock Band 2 bundle when the standalone games/instruments come out, and all they really replied with was "We're doing the best we can".

Someone asked if we'd ever see Frequency or Amplitude on XBLA/PSN, and they said that they wanted that to happen but those IPs are owned by Sony now.

WHAT? You better not be kidding.

I'm not kidding, but them saying "We'll get right on that" doesn't really say much :P
 
Were there any cameras there filming the whole panel? I know there's the official PAX DVD that comes out later, but that's... I'd rather watch a stream of it funded by ads just once.

I love you for telling me that.


Also, Katty Perry. Not just hate. But with a passion. Musically, sure, it's catchy, buy also it's grating, her voice is annoying, and the lyrics are bloody meaningless, "oh i kissed a girl on the lips once at a party HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE i'm a naughty little girl" whoop de fucking do, the video doesn't even justify it by scenes upon scenes of girls making out oh wait no there's no making out just a quick sneaky kiss from someone with a boyfriend. It's like the Disney Channel attempt at being raunchy, a kiss on the lips is as far as it'll go. On the radio too much. Only this and the Archers Theme have had me actually diving for the off button when I hear it. Actually, no, I that should be our national anthem. But that's something else entirely.

The lyrics have as much meaning as plenty of Queen songs.

Bicycle races are coming your way, so forget all your duties, oh yeah!

I didn't see any cameras :(

I did take a shitty quality picture of the panel:

I forget all their names, but Dan Teasdale is on the far left and Sean Baptiste is on the far right.

EDIT: I found the names of the other three on the panel:

2nd from the left is Dan Schmidt, in the middle is Ryan Lesser (art lead), and 2nd from the right is Heather Wilson (audio producer).

And apparently Moosejaw is in the middle.

There's hardly any guitar in either of those songs. I know that doesn't necessarily mean they have no place in the game, but they should definitely not be put in before any of the 12 I listed.
 
I guess I just use RB for drums and vocals mostly now, as I recently bought an electric guitar and use it to satisfy my guitar-playing needs. It's still really fun to play songs on guitar, mind you.

Edit: How about Princes of the Universe? Man, nobody does a soundtrack like Queen.

Princes is great and would be one of the first songs I would include in the second Queen pack.

Where the fuck is Onemic?!

I'm in a land far far away called University.

Since I didn't bring RB with me, and the fact that I've been partying pretty much every night, I haven't been able to keep up with this thread that much.

That means you can finally beat some of my scores.....for now.

This score helped me a lot,

I will never ever play that song again.

My drumset looks like this, after several months of intense drumming (since April). I highly recommend putting kneepads on the red and green panels (QM set) if you have the.....problem that almost everybody has...you know. I had to sock mod my yellow panel because I cant find another way to cover it. The blue one is the only survivor.

Greetings from Ecuador's Best Drummer!! WOOOO!
 
Another one for Queen pack but add Radio Gaga as they did a great version of it on Live Aid, Somebody to love, Your my best friend, Breakthru and I want to break free.

I personally dont care if some of their tracks are "lite" I can sit thru the who album and go to sleep as the drummer numerous times. Freddy is a legend so gimmie some f* queen.

Its Rock Band = QUEEN!
 
Who came up with the lines "I kissed a girl, and I liked it/The taste of her cherry ChapStick"?
I did, actually. One morning, I woke up with the chorus and was like, "[Gasp] I love this! This is so taboo, though!"

Taboo? OH NO A QUICK PECK ON THE LIPS FROM A GIRL PHONE THE MORAL POLICE
 
Some more info on Moving Pictures, basically the hold-up isn't related to technical bugs and glitches:

El Destructo said:
* What specifically caused Moving Pictures to be delayed? I asked a Harmonix employee (John?), who said it was a last-minute hitch that was not necessarily technical, and involved one or more of their partners. Their involvement is the reason that Harmonix isn't free to reveal any details. He did say that if it were only a technical glitch, they would have fixed it and released immediately, as that would have been completely under their control.

I never thought to ask, but will the Guitar Hero 2 controller work with Rock Band 2? If not, I'll have to buy the Rock Band controller. :(

Rock Band is compatible with any of the guitar controllers that they've put out, so you're good to go for the Xplorer.

Never would have guessed that it was a legal issue holding Moving Pictures up. Maybe the label didn't think they were getting enough and decided to postpone it at the last minute?
 
chaoticprout said:
So is it confirmed that GH4 instruments work on RB2 360 and vice-versa?

Yeah. But there's limitations. That touch pad won't work on RB2, solo buttons probably won't work in the same way in GH:WT as they do in RB, most likely just duplicates like in GH:A
 
TheGreatDave said:
Would you rather have had "I fingered a girl, and I liked it/taste of her cherry red clit"?

I KNOW I WOULD.
Well at least she could have properly got off with her, and done a song with a bit more meaning and not "oh no what if my BOYFRIEND finds out key word there i'm straight this is all fine don't get too offended i'm only hinting homosexuality to get you in as a cheap trick but dont worry nothing to actually get worried about"

All girls kiss girls. Seems like as normal a thing to sing about as anything else.

Girls are crazy man. They're on to the fact woman are superior.

Exactly - it's normal, it's just that she's treating it as if it's not in her song.

But we can't let this get TOO out of hand. There'll be no women left for the rest of us.

Let's play Conspiracy Theory Time!!

This sucks big time. If this turns out to be true, then we might have to wait even longer for Moving Pictures. I hope this gets sorted out soon.

is it really that hard to say which system you're referring to?

You can almost safely assume he meant Xbox 360 when asking about the Guitar Hero 2 controller. GH2 was only out on two platforms (PS2 and 360), and the PS2 GH2 controller is the same thing as the PS2 GH1 controller.

The Xplorer should definitely work with RB2. It worked with RB1, and they say all instruments will now be compatible, so I'd be shocked if it didn't.

I'm hoping it's the result of a Guitar Hero: Rush deal LAST MINUTE.
 
I think I can get my crown back.

Oh, you think it's to do with the song itself? Oh no, it's because of YYZ. Not a technical reason - but a legal one. Because of the lack of vocals, that makes it fall outside the current patent contracts and licensing: and it's a legal threat from Konami and Activision because they have different patents licensed for the the GH series with and without vocals because of the change in recognition.


It's bullshit, but it's a conspiracy theory damn it.
