I think the game's pretty good for expanding one's musical vocabulary. I fell in love with the Yeah Yeah Yeahs again after playing maps, and Sound Garden's Black Hole Sun made me interested in grunge music again.

Besides, the game itself presents a different mix to the music, and makes you notice things you don't normally notice. Like how catchy the bassline to Electric Version by The New Pornographers sound. The bassline for the track is mixed pretty backward in the album, but Rock Band made me notice it more.

My favourite songs to play are all the Metallica songs! Unfortunately, there are only 4 of them in the game (and 3 of them have to pay money to download).

Enter Sandman, Blackened, Ride the Lightning, And Justice For All.

Super fun!

I'm very curious what real musicians think about Rock Band (the PS3 / Xbox 360 game).

Do you find it insulting to music and musicians? Do you find it amusing? Fun? Easy? Hard?

Who here has played it?

For me, I like the game. Um... it was the game that inspired me to pick up drumming.

Is it possible to connect the drum set to an amp & use it like a real electronic drum.

Very possible, but aint straightforward process , with midi and drum software. The drumset be set to transmit midi message to trigger the drum sounds within any drumming program(ez drummer, superior drummer, dfh, xln addictive drum etc..)

I think games like guitar hero, rock band and etc is really great
It's not as easy to play as some might think of it. its a different thing altogether. Try playing the game in HARD level. not easy man!

I can do a lot of songs on the guitar but when i play it on the game, i'm useless noob

My kids love the game which led my son into playing a real guitar
It helps kids learn about music from the yester-years and present.

My son is in primary 3 and he now knows songs and bands from the classic rock days and even songs from BFMV all because he plays the game. Thank god its not some hanna montana crap..

It's great for kids to have more exposure to music so its all good.

thanks, reason is- my son wants to buy one & I was thinking if can connect & use
it like a real electronic drum set then why not, it will be killing 2 birds with 1 stone heehee, it will thne be a dual purpose.

Actually, I like action game and RPG game, I seldom play xbox 360 music games. I like wii music games, can a lot of people playing together.
