Man the explorer is hands down the WORST plastic GH instrument I hate the fuck out of. Such a downgrade from the SG2.

The buttons are the only reason I play RB guitars they feel so much better imo.
 
I actually kinda like the buttons on the Strat, but they make a nosie when you click them which is always slightly off from the music, so it feels like I've got two rhythms going in my head and yes this is my fault.

Plus I've demonstrated before how the way I hold a guitar doesn't suit the Strat.
 
Just gotta love Gamestop; I just got the AC/DC track pack for $Free.99. (Yeah, I know it's shit, but it's free.) I really hope they don't wise up and start "gutting" the manuals and inserts for Green Day and Pearl Jam. Would be nice to get those for close to free, as well.

I'm down to my last one and I will need to start fixing them after. I also love them.

Space Cadet, you're just stealing the codes?

I got the bundle, kept the drums and sold everything else. Didn't lose much money on it, but that was back when it came out.

I guess I could do that, but I'll just wait for the GH6/RB3 guitar.

Out of all the plastic Guitars out there this is the one I enjoy playing with most.

I concur, it feels so nice, the added neck length is fucking great too.

Blu you can get the bundle for near the price of the other guitars now. Ebay everything else, but keep the mic stand its surpisingly high quality and useful. It adds a whole other dimension when you play vox-tar.
 
So as part of the general RBN promo efforts, someone came up with the idea of doing a megamix akin to the Who Smashup from January using all RBN songs. The guy in charge of it (Scratching the Itch) just put together the first version, with these songs:

Rose Of Jericho - Buried Cold
James William Roy - Paper Valentines
Glass Hammer - Sleep On
Robby Suave' - Everyone I Know Is An Alcoholic
Scratching The Itch - End Of This
You Shriek - No Heroes
Voodoo Pharmacology - Minnesota
Chrome Chroma - Bow Down
Freen In Green - Frontier Factory
Paul Henry Smith & The Fauxharmonic Orchestra - Night On Bald Mountain
Counterfeit Pennies - Five More Minutes
Single White Infidel - Inheritance

It's bizarrely awesome. And there's a certain encouragement from Harmonix to get this done fast so I'm curious what they have in store for it....

(I can't share the mp3 yet though, since the mix isn't finalized.)

Seriously? I have to check this out. How much does TB:RB sell for now-a-days?

Huh? I get the same one for the entire page, but if I refresh, it changes. Are you on dial-up?

Nope: DSL.

They're supposed to. Your store isn't? Idiots.

The guitar will be superior to anything HMX has ever come out with. If HMX made good guitars I'd never have to deal with GH again.

You know you can buy just the guitar separate, right? Then you can get the good hardware, and still not deal with the shitty game.

Isn't it like $70 standalone though? For the extra $30 I get to play a horrible game for a couple of days!

on a better note, just paid off Red Dead at GS in anticipation for midnight release. SOOO want it right now.

The bundle was going for 120 for the last couple months through amazon and walmart. The special edition bundle that is, not the value(ha value)

Probably at launch.. I've always gotten my GH guitars/games on clearance after they've been out a while, as my guitars still work. The only one that's ever truly gimped out on me (besides the RB1 Strat) is the Les Paul. I went through a couple of those. Now I'm on two GHWT guitars and they're both going strong.
 
We're still having which guitar is better arguments? How about we just quote Caddyshack instead? I'll start.

"Hey, Smells, my dingy's bigger than your boat"

Empire of the Gun's chart is sooooooooo good! Still one of my faves!

Yup. Awesome chart; I most always end sessions with this song.

I like my Strat, and I can do okay. Also, I don't like clicky strum bars.

I'm in the same boat. Love the strat. I hope MadCatz doesn't screw the guitars up.

In my defense I took the AC/DC code from a used game. I was shocked as shit when it worked. As for the others....cough...acquired, is the term I would use....cough. Blockbuster is a great place to acquire codes as well.

"Hey, don't put yourself down now. You're not uh,you're not, you're not good."

Chevy Chase used to be awesome, what happened?
 
Two questions about Tragic Kingdom (the song) on drums, does anyone know the gold star cutoff? I have 237,375 right now on a pretty decent run but that leads me into the second question does anyone else feel like the hit the BRE and it doesn't register? I've played the song a ton of times and I've never hit the BRE even once. It's only a red not and a green + bass note and it feels like it doesn't accept my bass hit. I'm pretty sure I'd have gold if I could hit it.

"Hey everybody! We're all gonna get laid!"

I wish. :(

Anyway, the band contract from Highlord finally came in. Still need to square things away with the label, but after nearly 3 months it's almost ready for public testing.
