Of all the Pantera albums, why this one? It's good, I like it, but where's Suicide Note Pt. 1? And why couldn't we have Vulgar Display of Power instead? Man. Talk about a good news/bad news situation.

I agree. Cowboys From Hell and Far Beyond Driven would have been better choices also but as a big Pantera fan I'll take what I can get. Hopefully there will be more to come.

I was thinking about getting one of these. I've got a PS3, so what do you guys reccommend?

Guitar Hero
Rock Band
Lego Rock Band

There just seems to be so much out there right now, I really don't know where to start. I was looking at Ebay to get something and was just wondering if you guys had any suggestions as to which is the best of those listed or they're are basically the same.

Thanks.

Don't get Lego Rock Band. It's alright for the kids, but you can't download and play anything thats remotely PG-13 because of the rating on the game. Even if you previously downloaded and installed songs from RB2, you can't play them in Lego Rock band simply because of the rating.

I don't suggest Guitar Hero either. It's alright, it was good when it first came out, but now the games are done and beaten in a matter of a few weeks. Plus their song library isn't NEARLY as extensive.

I suggest starting with RB1 and RB2. You should be able to find used copies of both by now. When you're done playing the regular set lists, start downloading songs. Between a buddy and I sharing logins we've been able to download about 3/4 of the music library and all those downloadable songs made the games for us.

Theres also Beatles Rock Band and Green Day Rock Band, but they're not nearly as good. I was less impressed with the Green Day one. Beatles may be worth it if you can find a used copy, but be warned theres no Hey Jude and no Let it Be. Seriously, wtf? Whats the deal, Paul, Yoko, Harmonix?

Was just checking out Rock Band's site and saw some details about the next game, didn't see them posted here yet. Some of the setlist is included: Rock Band 3 Features, Setlist, and More! // The 'Zine // Rock Band?

The Music:
Rock Band 3 will have an incredible 83-song setlist, as well as support for the over 1,500 existing Rock Band tracks (Rock Band and Rock Band 2 discs, DLC, track packs, AC/DC Live: Rock Band Track Pack, LEGO Rock Band, and Green Day: Rock Band). The setlist contains songs from some of the best bands from around the world, including bands that have never appeared in a music game! Don't think it stops there - the regular weekly DLC releases will continue after Rock Band 3's release.
Today we're announcing a handful of the 83 on-disc tracks for Rock Band 3, spanning five decades:
2000s:
  • Metric - "Combat Baby"
  • Rilo Kiley - "Portions for Foxes"
  • Them Crooked Vultures - "Dead End Friends"
  • The Vines - "Get Free"
  • The White Stripes - "The Hardest Button to Button"
  • Phoenix - "Lasso"
  • Ida Maria - "Oh My God"
  • Juanes - "Me Enamora"
1990s:
  • Jane's Addiction - "Been Caught Stealing"
  • Stone Temple Pilots - "Plush"
  • Smash Mouth - "Walkin' on the Sun"
  • Spacehog - "In the Meantime"
1980s:
  • Dio - "Rainbow in the Dark"
  • Huey Lewis and the News - "The Power of Love"
  • Joan Jett - "I Love Rock and Roll"
  • Night Ranger - "Sister Christian"
  • Whitesnake - "Here I Go Again"
  • The Cure - "Just Like Heaven"
  • Ozzy Osbourne - "Crazy Train"
1970s:
  • Queen - "Bohemian Rhapsody"
1960s:
  • Jimi Hendrix - "Crosstown Traffic"
  • The Doors - "Break On Through"
Rock Band 3 also includes an improved Music Library, allowing players to create and save setlists, and share them with friends, both in-game and right here on RockBand.com. Song filtering will make it easier to find the tracks you want to play. You can also hide the songs you don't want to play, and seek out new songs using a built-in song recommendation system based on personal preferences.



The Instruments:
In addition to the plastic guitars, bass, drums, and vocals you're used to, now you can jam on a couple of new instruments. Play vocal harmonies with up to three players like you did in The Beatles: Rock Band. And for the first time ever you'll also be able to play using a keyboard peripheral! The band has gotten bigger - playing with all available instruments, you and six friends can all rock at the same time. Rock Band parties will never be the same.

If you're ready to take the next step in music gaming, check out Rock Band 3's Pro Mode. Ever had someone ask you why you play plastic guitar instead of learning a real instrument? Now you can tell them you ARE learning a real instrument. Rock Band 3 empowers players to develop actual musical skills through the fun of Rock Band Pro gameplay. Start at Easy and work your way up through Expert on three different Pro Modes, just like you did with the plastic guitars and plastic drums.
  • Pro Drums supports three expansion cymbals, with gameplay differentiation between toms and cymbals.
  • Pro Keys features pitch-accurate keyboard performance across a two-octave range, displayed on an easy-to-read keyboard track.
  • Pro Guitar features notated guitar and bass performances, available for play with either the new Fender Mustang PRO-Guitar simulated guitar controller from Mad Catz or the Rock Band 3 Squier by Fender Stratocaster Guitar real guitar/controller hybrid. The Rock Band 3 Squier Stratocaster is a fully functional, full-sized, six-string electric guitar that also functions as a game controller that Fender and Harmonix have teamed up to develop.
All Pro Modes include tutorials and a difficulty progression from Easy through Expert, giving you the chance to learn at your own speed. And if you're not ready to take that leap - or you just don't want to buy another instrument peripheral - Rock Band 3 will be compatible with all Rock Band and The Beatles: Rock Band peripherals, as well as most third-party controllers.

New Gameplay:
Party Mode: Get the party started faster and keep it going all night! Party Shuffle lets you start the game immediately, while persistent drop-in/drop-out lets players take turns (or take a break!) without interrupting the flow of play. You'll also be able to choose (or change!) your difficulty on any gameplay screen - including mid-song.

Career Mode: If a more long-term play is your style, get ready for over 700 goals and rewards, with seamless leaderboard integration, for a deep campaign experience.
Social Networking: Rock Band 3 adds social networking tools so you can interact with friends and fellow Rock Band rockers using Facebook, Twitter, and more.

thanks for the info.


do you have to pay for all those downloaded songs, or are they free to you once you beat certain parts of the game?
Click to expand...

You get somewhere between 70-80 songs for free on the game disks themselves as you play through the original games (Thats in each game, so 140-160 if you get both RB1 and RB2). After that you have to pay for downloadable songs, which range from $0.99 to the usual $1.99 a song. Sometimes you can get the songs cheaper if you download a full album for $8-12ish, and some of these track packs are pretty good. We just downloaded the CCR set that was recently released, and it was worth it. The best part is that any songs you download for RB1 can and will be ported over to RB2 and can be played there. You can also port the songs from RB1's own library to RB2, with the exception of a few songs (This costs a few bucks though).
