Steven Samuels Posted March 17, 2010 Posted March 17, 2010 I'm gonna get Rockband for the first time...and ive read from some people's reviews that the drums kick pedals break easily...has it happened to anybody or any suggestions/tips on how to avoid it from snapping? Thanks The original Rock Band drum kit had a horrible kick pedal. My friend snapped it in half from normal use. I reccomend getting the RB2 drumset, as it has extension ports for 3 cymbals, the kick pedal is reinforced with a sheet of metal, and it's wireless.

newsflash777 Posted March 17, 2010 Posted March 17, 2010 I'm so excited for this! I'm so happy they fixed their faces, haha.
matteo263 Posted March 18, 2010 Posted March 18, 2010 which is most fun to play? guitar. bass or drums. and can you play the game with a mic only?
Hermione Posted March 18, 2010 Posted March 18, 2010 ^Yeah I was wondering about that, I've only ever played Guitar Hero with a guitar and I'm not familiar with Rockband. I'd only be interested in the guitar and the mic, so can you just buy whatever instruments you want or do they come in a package? And could you play this with a Guitar Hero guitar?

Some shops might have an unofficial Game + Guitar bundle, but there wont be anything official yet. Ive seen that you can buy the Rock Band 1 Drum kits by themselves, very rarely though. You would probably be better off getting the stuff you want on ebay. And It will work with guitar hero guitars, and it better too, because I got Guitar Hero 5 and the Guitar last night. the compatibility chart says that they are. Unless you are using a Wii, then I have no idea if they are compatible.

Unless they do some fabulous Green Day guitar that I can't resist.
Rock-man Posted March 18, 2010 Posted March 18, 2010 Bought xbox360 yesterday, now I just have to wait for THE GAME....
XBlade1X Posted March 18, 2010 Posted March 18, 2010 Bought xbox360 yesterday, now I just have to wait for THE GAME.... Good choice bro. By the way, I know I asked this earlier but I don't remember getting a proper answer. Is it possible to be a guitarist + Singer, while signed into one profile as one player in other Rock Band games?

Is it possible to be a guitarist + Singer, while signed into one profile as one player in other Rock Band games? You can use Vocals and guitar at the same time (refered to as Voxtar), but you need one profile signed in for the Guitar, and one for the Mic.

matteo263 Posted March 18, 2010 Posted March 18, 2010 man it is too expensive to buy an instrument in my counrty (70 euro plus!!) i will have to be just happy to sing!
Rock-man Posted March 18, 2010 Posted March 18, 2010 I was able to buy GH3 + GH Aerosmith + Gibson Explorer for PC at a very reasonable price, 49,- euros. That Explorer works both PC and XBOX360, and I have a Rock Band microphone. Now I just have to buy another guitar controller, drums and second microphone. Not bad at all.
steelthorne Posted March 19, 2010 Posted March 19, 2010 I just reserved the game at GameStop today for my Playstation 3 I already have a Guitar Hero 3 controller so I'm just gonna make it colored sunburst like Billie's one Les Paul if I can, and then get one of the basses they have for rock band and put a star on it so it will somewhat resemble mikes bass lol. And I gotta get a mic and a stand, but I'm not gonna get the drums. too expensive for me and I don't really like rock band drums.
Steven Samuels Posted March 19, 2010 Posted March 19, 2010 Yeah, the RB2 drums are decent but they make a LOT of noise. If you got the cash to throw around I recommend using the ION Rocker drum kit. It's about 1500 USD. I know, it's expensive. I myself don't own one but it is truly an amazing experience to use one. It's silent, customizable setup, and doesn't break easily. Not nice on the eyes though.

Hanner Posted March 19, 2010 Posted March 19, 2010 i know you can use the guitar hero equipment with rock band. but can you mix it up and use, idk say, the guitar hero drums and rockband guitars? or does it all have to be from the same game? i would think you could mix it up, but just to be sure....
garnet Posted March 19, 2010 Posted March 19, 2010 i havent played guitar hero in like 6 months.. used to play it on hard so i thought id start playing it again to get ready for green day and... i am officially, shit =D haa more practice for me i think! but at least june is the best month for this year, green day game and green day concert to go to!!!

I hope so, 'cause I have a GH guitar which will work on RB, but GH drums won't work on RB while RB drums will work on GH, sooo I'm gonna buy RB drums. Unless what you asked isn't possible. (and I'll figure everything for the mic out later)
Riker Posted March 19, 2010 Posted March 19, 2010 You can use Vocals and guitar at the same time (refered to as Voxtar), but you need one profile signed in for the Guitar, and one for the Mic. This isn't totally true. You can have one x-box live profile, and when you go into rockband, setup a local multiplayer game, then just join guitar and vocals. I do it all the time.

Just check rockband.com/compatibility if it's compatible it's compatible. No reason you couldn't mix and match.

Steven Samuels Posted March 20, 2010 Posted March 20, 2010 THIS JUST IN. ION ROCKER PRICE HAS DROPPED TO AROUND 200 USD! ...If I had the spare cash I would totally buy it. *looks at RB2 drumset with displeasure*
