I fuck*ng love this game.

We named our band "Sex Funeral" at my behest. We sell shots of Scope at our gigs. I am getting pretty good! I noticed that other TOUAMBie denizens are also into the band. Post about Rock Band all up ins!

I play bass and guitar on this game. Sometimes I can play them on Hard, but usually on Medium. I have to play with a pick, and I feel like this somehow makes me a douchebag, but otherwise I can never get the timing right. My roommates all play on Expert. I am starting to think maybe I should sing, though. Do you people ever sing while playing another instrument? I feel like I could definitely do this for, say, all the Nirvana songs at the very least.

My guitarist/bassist is a woman with the "pixie" haircut, in courderoys and the black t-shirt you start out with. I am saving up to buy her my guitar (the Fender Jaguar).
Sorry for not having a more surprising choice.

I made a character that looks as much like me as possible. I'll see if I can get some screenshots this weekend. She has long dark hair and silver glasses. Unoriginally, the name I picked for her is r0153.

My instrument is the mic. I sing! I played xbox and PS2 karaoke with my friends in Alaska all the damn time, so this game was pretty easy for me to learn.

One of my favorite parts of the game is buying clothes for my character. Probably because I have no money to buy clothes in real life, and the clothes I have bought for her are totally badass. We play so many gigs, and we have amassed so much money, that she has a huge wardrobe. Unlike me.

I play Rock Band at work because I'm lucky enough to work at a place where Rock Banding on a Friday afternoon is not only acceptable but encouraged. I would totally have bought it by now if not for the draconian noise rules in the apartment building I live in. If I'm able to escape my mildly insane roommate and find a new place with more humane neighbors, I should like to buy the game for myself.

Also, I should note that I've been playing Real Guitar for nearly a decade and I'm somehow twice as good on Pretend Drums as I am on Pretend Guitar. Don't ask me how that works.

oh, oh OH

this australian guy lives on the floor below us, right under the room at the other end of my hall.

and one day, he comes up, and starts screaming incoherently about how "it's always you, you with your bass drum and your bass band, all night, every night, the bass drum and the bass band playing, banging on my head!"

the guys below us just bang on their ceiling. I have never met them, and they have never come up to say anything to us.

[KeithHernandez]

wait, Australian or Austrian?

[melack]

I have never known an Australian person who would complain about noise. They would just come up to your place, give you a beer and a noogie, and ask where the party is.

[KeithHernandez]

good people

[theinevitable]

totally Australian.

Or maybe from somewhere else with a similar accent, I heard this second-hand.

The part that will survive through the ages is "bass drum and your bass band!"
I think those guys actually changed the name of their band to Bass Band.

Man, that dude sounds like he hates loud noise as much as me. He should move the fuck outta the dorms. Which is what I had to do.

[theinevitable]

to be fair... they basically played that game 24/7 for a month.
that is the room most people on my floor drink in, dance in, play halo and call of duty and guitar hero and rock band in...
the people below them are probably insane at this point. But they've only come up to complain that one time, so...

Nah, we've got douchebags same as everywhere else. Just generally we stop them from leaving the country so it doesn't hurt our tourism.

My band name is Süpdarts.  This comes from a sign that I passed on the road that said

SOUPDARTS
AND
GREATSTEAK

I've heard good things about Greatsteak, but didn't want to see the opener.

I've also named a band "CookieWülf"

I don't play the video games as much as I want to, but I've played through Drums on easy, and I'm just about done with Vocals on Medium.   I pretty much avoid the Guitar, even though I play classical guitar.  The Keytar hurts my hand after a while.   My Guitar teacher and I have discussed this, and we both agree that it would be way down to get tendinitis or Carpal Tunnel from playing GH/RB, and not from playing a real guitar.

I've threatened to bring my Mic stand upstairs and sing while playing drums.  So far this has not happened.

Also, Say... If we all have Live, shouldn't we be able to form some kind of internet band?

Is that a default name the game assigns?  Because otherwise it sounds like a name the R&D department gives an investigational drug before the Marketing folks get involved.

I hate the guitar, but the drums and singing are badddd-ass.
