Rock Band 2 Discussion
If this was made, please lock this one.
I just made this one because the GHWT topic turned into RB2, so I figured the RB2 peeps could get their own thread.
Leaving off from the last thread:
http://drumrocker.com/
Wow. Somebody posted that, and thanks, I got a boner at work.

Good call on the new thread.
I'm with you on wanting the Ion but honestly unless you are planning on actually using it as an electric kit it's not a whole lot different than the normal set with the cymbal add-on. I myself am going to pass for the time being and hope to find one for ~$100 later on (shouldn't be too hard).
Yeah, I will end up getting it before Black Friday (I got RB1 last year the week after it came out, before Black Friday).Originally Posted by carlcarlson
I think that RB2 is going to be a much bigger hit than RB1. I say that because RB1 was out for awhile, and it came out for long enough for people to know what the hell it is now besides us internet jockeys.
I want one for the holiday season, and can afford to be impatient, hehehe.
I think you are right on the ion drum set. I thought I got a premium version of rb2 where it was the drum set and the rest of the instruments along with the game for 300. I would have done that. I will happily accept the cymbal add-on for it instead (plus it's Mad Catz, its not like they have some crappy no name 3rd party making the cymbal add-on). I will say that I could see myself just playing around in freestyle. Even with just the cymbal add-on.
I did play rb2 at a microsoft dev conference here a few weeks back, and it is super fun. they had all instruments setup, but no cymballs. obviously i had no clue until you guys informed me.
Dude, people can enjoy their GHWT all they want, but rb2 is going to be awesome (plus I have around 20 or 30, maybe 40, songs that I have paid for and downloaded for rb1).
I checked the Mad Catz website and the cymbal set is coming out at the end of this week (halloween). Dude, that is so awesome that they did that. Hahaha, I bet red octane got a little surprise when harmonix revealed that it was not only doing cymbals, but it has 3. I do think they are doing 3 just for competing purposes.
There is nothing wrong with it though. This healthy competition is awesome.
GH was the big dog for, what, since gh1 came out. Now they got some competition and need to up the ante, which means in the end, we win.
I love this competition stuff.
Well here is something too though:
Cymbal add-on or no, which songs natively support it?
By that, I mean it is super possible for me to be playing a song and hit a cymbal when not needed and then it sounds like buttcheeks, or do you know if for songs, you just choose or something. I know, since I saw that vid, in freestyle and stuff you can use them all, but how compatible will they be?

Check out my band, Freddie Mercury on vocals and Terry Bogard on drums!
I think it's funny that Guitar Hero's competition is it's own creators. Harmonix moved on to bigger and better things, Guitar Hero franchise has to catch up.
I see you got rb2. you get special edition?
Check out my band, Freddie Mercury on vocals and Terry Bogard on drums!
if you did, you going to get the cymbal pack this friday?
I am going to end up starting a new band. I tried to make the characters from the gorillaz, but when i was the only dude in the band, it didn't work out so well.
I didn't get the cymbals and probably wont, but if they start selling the bass pedals separate then I'd probably get one for double bass.
Just eBay it.
The one thing that I still don't like about the pedal is that the spring is too tight. It needs to be way looser, because when I put my foot down, I have to try way too hard and it ends up hurting my calf after like 4 or 5 songs.
I did luck out in that I already have rb1, so I will probably end up keeping the pedal out for double pedal action.
RB has no Tool That's Tool I say...
Other than that it looks good.
Something small, but I know the band name because the lead singer, yeah, she is pretty hot.
47. Paramore “That’s What You Get” 2000’s
That song is on the main rb2 setlist. she is promoting ghwt. i am not saying anything, i think it is funny. Hey, i would do both, not that way perv, but I would be in both games.
Here is something else that is super needed from mad catz:
http://www.amazon.com/Universal-Micr...141758&sr=1-10
it retails for 19.99

Tool doesn't want virtual characters playing their songs so when you play them in Guitar Hero it's in some special tool arena with poorly animated ghost things flying around. No characters or anything. booo
Me want The B-52's first album for DLC.
This topic is going to end up resembling Rockband.com's forums if we don't take action now.
I took the spring out and cut a coil off of it an that helped a bit. Just make sure not to cut off too much because you still need some spring travel.
This is a good question and one I haven't seen an answer to yet. I'm sure all of the songs will support cymbals, I just don't know how they are handled. I'm guessing that they will just act like the pads, so you can hit a cymbal but make a tom sound. This kind of sucks because it ruins the immersion. I wish they would have had some sort of "cymbal indicator", like smaller notes or something, a la hammer-ons. Maybe they could patch that in later?
Also, it seems that GH uses a five-pad setup for drums, so although your RB2 drums will work on GH, they might not work correctly. If this is the case then I think I'll just skip GH alltogether. There's no way I'm having three drum sets in my apartment.
Yeah, I am going to end up with 2, and that is more than enough.
I don't know how the rockband.com forums are, but I am assuming it is just flaming one game or another.
So yeah, you guys can go there to flame about rock band 2 or ghwt.
if you want to chat about ghwt, there is a thread for it, as it this 1 i started.
flamers/trolls can shut their lips.
well me and my friends are in love with this game. me and the gf went out and got the rb2 bundle along with a used copy of rb1 for ourselves as an early xmas present, since we figured that they'd be a bit harder to find right after the holiday, plus it was only $168 at sam's club.
i'm sure i'll also get that three symbol set eventually, but my main concern right now is to get another guitar so all of us can play at once. though i'm torn between the mad catz custom bass or the guitar hero 2 guitar/gh III game that's on sale at redoctane today. i'll probably just end up with the gh2 guitar as even with shipping, it's still $20 cheaper than the bass.
I would opt for the GH 3 guitar over the 2 model. I have 2 Xplorers and I can't use either one because they are too sensitive and have kickback. The Les Paul seems much more forgiving in that regard, plus it's wireless. Oh, and it looks a lot cooler too!
I just ordered my cymbals today (pre-ordered from amazon) and ordered a mic stand.
i play bwt on rb1 solo, and the mic on the xbl headset really sux for rb, so I got the mad catz mic stand too (this was all free thanks to a b-day gift card for amazon i had not used yet).
I figured that if I wait until I get my cymbals in the mail, then I will go out and buy rb2 (unless my cymbals have a chance of coming after or on black friday).
anybody know the deal with when the triple cymbals are really coming out?
I pre-ordered the triple cymbals from amazon, and they were slated for 10-31, then got pushed back to 12-5, and now it is showing 11-30.
This is all within the past 5 days, but the double came out already.
Anybody know about these and when they will come out?
