I'd bug HMX about it again, but the top story on BGB is currently "Rock Band finally released properly".TheGreatDave said:

Anyone seen this article yet?

seems like it leaks some not yet announced songs from the Plain White tees, Panic! at the Disco, and Van Halen.

Plain White Ts are part of the Rock Band 2 Tour so I'm pretty sure they will get a song into the game (off their first album plskthx).

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.

It could be a pre-existing deal, similar to the Metallica situation. (new deal for export = no, existing deals for Battery, Fuel, one full album, etc. = good)
It could also be a very drunk and/or confused "journalist".

I'm getting everything next wednesday, so just over a week for me. But that's ok, because aside from a couple of classes, I have Thursday-Monday off from work to play with the new game, new guitar, and new fuck-awesome drums.
You guys get approximately 4 days to torment me.

Who else here has tried playing with a pick? I find that in some cases it works really well. Alt-strumming is trivial and a lot of things are made easier. At the same time it tends to make a really annoying noise, probably wears out the springs in the strum bar faster, it's harder to keep on target, and the pressure, flap, and feedback is all weird.
I tried it with a couple of picks (.71 mm Medium EBE, 2.0mm Dunlop Big Stubby, generic Medium Fender) and never was able to find the sweet spot that worked for the game. The lighter picks (the EBEs have always felt closer to a med-light pick than a medium for me) bent enough to keep a smooth strum, but the heavy was better at actually moving the damn thing. Basically, the same exact issue that you have with real instruments, but made worse because you're trying to move a big, hard chunk of plastic that doesn't quite move in the right way.
I do think it might be interesting for them to work on this particular aspect of the design, however. When you're strumming normally you're mainly moving it with your fingers, but when you use a pick you're able to properly get your wrist into it in a way that I find almost impossible when doing it without the pick.
An interesting experiment that I know plenty of others have already tried. It'd be interesting to hear how everyone else here has done with this if, in fact, they've tried it at all. For me, I think I'm going back to playing it without. If only I could someone smack myself on the head long enough to be willing to actually buy that split-strum bass. I'd love to be able to play bass properly for once.

Bah, that's what every day is like when you're like me: a shiftless unemployed layabout living on the girlfriend giro.
Of course, it's not coming out on the PS3 until next month so, uhm, carry on then.

I do not avoid women, GAF, but I do deny them my essence.
Rock Band needs The Mars Volta. My roommate is getting World Tour but I don't want to break his drums having a blast playing L'Via L'Viaquez. I feel much more comfortable breaking my own.

According to Scorehero, stores are supposed to be getting the new Drum kit tomorrow. Hope that is true.
