Rock Band - Impressions...

Will the trasfer work on the Wii? The RB1 tracks were not transferrable on the Wii. Hopefully these will be.

There are probably 10-15 tracks I'd love to use in RB2, but I don't have much interest in playing as a Lego. My son will probably like the Lego aspect, but I'm afraid the novelty will wear off quickly.

So did anyone bite the bullet on Abbey Road yet?

Zeppo · Post by **Zeppo** » Tue Oct 20, 2009 1:43 pm

I'm going to do it tonight when I get home because I'm a Beatles freak, but I do think it's sort of ridiculous because there are already most of the songs on the original release. But hey, I'm just psyched to have the full medley.

Slumberland · Post by **Slumberland** » Tue Oct 20, 2009 1:44 pm

I does seem overpriced considering what's already on the disc.

Yeah, I have some sticker shock right now, though I'll probably get it eventually.

Can't you just buy the missing tracks, or that only on the Wii, where we can't get "packs" as downloads?

Slumberland · Post by **Slumberland** » Tue Oct 20, 2009 2:41 pm

You can, but you don't get the option to play the B-side medley as one piece unless you buy the whole shebang.

Bastards! I'll cave I'm sure.

Don't forget that the Queen 10 pack is also out today. I'll end up with 3-4 of these for sure.

Another One Bites the Dust is a for sure download as my son loves that song.

Downloaded "Fat Bottomed Girls" last night. Not terribly difficult but fun to crank up and play. I'll probably also get "Under Pressure" and "One Vision" (gimme gimme fried chicken!)

I saw they had a couple tracks from Satriani's Surfing with the Alien, including the title track. I'll definitely be giving that a try.

I was going to just get 6 or 7 of the Queen songs but ended up getting the whole pack.

Just played through the Abbey Road medley on bass. Was great. Who wants to give it a go? If someone else wants bass I'm down for singing as well...

Her Majesty on Bass:

I grabbed the album today, so I'd be up for playing sometime.

Jeez, the Foos are generally fun to play on drums and all, but someone at Harmonix must be trying to sleep with Dave Grohl or something...

...and more Nirvana *without* it being their top hits? Odd.

WHY oh WHY do they release these obscure songs when it's the HITS we really want??? Joan Jett- I Love Rock N Roll anyone? NiRVana-Smells Like Teen Spirit? Why can't we get these songs???

So I did that Abbey Road medley last night online, this time with Slumberland, and damn is it fun! I still don't understand why they put Her Majesty in the medley, and yet don't start it with Because, but whatever. It really is ridiculously fun to play through. We need to get a threesome together sometime. . . . Web. . . .

Yeah, it's a blast. I'm glad I picked it up, despite the price. Definitely have to run through it with you guys.
