Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
Confession time. The Who tracks from Live at Leeds are my least-played songs, by far. Yes, less than Staind, 30 Seconds to Mars, At The Gates... anything. I hate them. Hate, hate, hate.
Summertime Blues is the least offensive, since it's a cover anyway.

IGN is a review of the Stage kit. I almost wish it was out for PS3. It could give an awesome atmosphere to RB parties.

Oh yeah. Spirit in the Sky sucked a lot too. Other than those though the setlist is pretty consistently enjoyable.Orellio said:You clearly have not played the Norman Greenbaum song yet. The drums in the Dylan song shit all over the drums from Spirit in the Sky.
But I do agree about Feel the Pain. By far the best drum song I've played yet. I'm afraid to do Teenage Riot on expert though
HMX needs to stop being stingy and put the official headset port on their 360 gear. Microsoft should've made it a requirement of them.Sp3eD said:
Yeah the new one doesn't have the bulky plastic bit on the connector, instead it has inline volume control and mute.Baker said:

No one uses a headset on PS3 anyways, so it wouldn't matter.M3wThr33 said:

Is there an official website for Rock Band 2 bands? The site for the original Rock Band doesn't seem to work with RB2, and it was kinda crummy anyway.

Has this happened to anyone:
THE TOMS STOPPED WORKING ON THE WIRELESS DRUMS? Kick works fine, buttons work fine...just the toms stopped.
Also, can you get double bass? Can you just plug in an old kick pedal or will something be made available later?

they mentioned on the site somewhere that the 2.0 version of the site would launch soon. Probably next month I'd assume

It's likely going to be DLC as well.
Though... live music? Really? Why can't I have my original master for Back in Black?

I don't think so. Walmart is apparently making an event out of the release of the new AC/DC album (Black Ice) since they have it as an exclusive in the USA.Kafel said:
Those are probably all separate products that they'll be selling.
My guess on the Rock Band expansion would be a standalone expansion disc with an export feature. (code on manual style)
Note "products" and "program" as well as the price for just the album.
I hadn't listened to Live at Donington since it was new. On review, the songs seem remarkably close to the album versions in terms of the quality of the performances, especially compared to the aural atrocity that was the live version of My Generation. Hopefully they can minimize the crowd noise further for the game. I'm bitterly disappointed that this is what they're doing with their AC/DC exclusive, but I may buy it now. Last night, I was definitely opposed to spending money on it.

Thanks for the link. I've had this on preorder for over six months now.
P I'm still a bit skeptical about how closely it matches the music and it's quality but I'm definitely looking forward to a closer look. The marketing on this this is horrendous. There's almost no information out there at all about this. Even the company's website doesn't even list it.
Does anyone know if the Ion set has a headset jack?

Spirit in the Sky is awesome. It's a blues shuffle, something Rock Band has been sorely lacking and something every drummer should learn. The game needed non-rock beats.

I feel I'm coming around to this position, too. There are 26 more songs than RB1, but I think that might be the amount of songs I never want to play again.sneaky77 said:
Absolutely. Spirit in the Sky and Tangled up in Blue are two of the most interesting drum songs in the game, and it's no coincidence that they're not standard rock beats.Charron said:
Overall, I find the Rock Band 2 tracklist to be far more technical than Rock Band 1. It's like Rock Band 1 was more for people who listen to music, and Rock Band 2 is more for people who play music. There are more guitar lines that focus on strum patterns instead of fretting, there are more drum lines that focus on complex rhythyms rather than complex fills, and there are more vocal lines designed to work close harmonies rather than stretched melodies.
I can see it being a less popular track list, but I like it. It has a lot of what RB has been lacking up til now, and since we're keeping pretty much everything that we've had, there's little reason to complain.
Also: Rob the Prez-O-Dent kicks all ass.
For me personally the number of songs in the game that I TRULY love playing is at 34. That is definitely above the actual number of same songs in RB1. So while RB1 "might" have had a higher ratio of good/great songs to crap (IMHO), RB2 has an actual higher count of songs I enjoy. For me that's a win.sneaky77 said:
For the record, GHWT has always interested me much less than RB2, and from a gameplay standpoint even still does. BUT, running that same list on GHWT and even taking out cross over songs, GHWT currently stands at 38 songs I am really looking forward to... go figure..
edit - though I know I have much different tastes than many in this thread so ymmv (Foo Fighters for example, I could stand never seeing another song from for the rest of my days)

same i feel like this setlist is possibly the worst in a music game so far. maybe the bonus 20 download songs will bring some awesome but right now it feels like chore trying to get through the tour mode.... everytime i play a mystery setlist and see that my singer is a hippie i bail the fuck out. fuck the fans i cant play the shit anymore.
im close to shelving the game and waiting for GH:world tour.

ABBA still sucks, for life.
Hmmm, ok, I got curious....to be perfectly honest, Rock Band 2's set list didn't grab me as fast as the first one did. There were some major absences (KISS, Rolling Stones, etc) and RB's list had a lot of instant gratification tracks. But more and more I'd find myself hitting random track, and then cancelling out because I just didn't like the songs. I'm not doing that as much with Rock Band 2's list.
In any case, I just glanced over the lists, and this is what I've come up with...
Number of songs in Rock Band that I wouldn't cancel after selecting them in random play:
32
Same for Rock Band 2:
61
Of course, that second number may change after living with these songs for 6 months, but I don't think it'll chance by that much...Still, I'm rather surprised that it was almost double the number. I'd like to say it was because I got sick of RB's songs, but a lot of them I never really liked to begin with (Nirvana, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Strokes, Weezer, etc).
