Yes, but you see, Jimi in this game will be so over-charted TTFAF will look like child's-play.

Which is why I am gonna enjoy RB2 more.

GH is only over-charted on expert, so here's a little tip for you: DON'T PLAY IT ON EXPERT!

GH on Hard is the same speed/difficulty as RB on Expert anyway. Don't compare GH's "Expert" to Rock Band because there is no equivalent difficulty setting in Rock Band.

Actually, I find RB much harder than GH (despite the Games Radar comparison)

I still can't pass Ballroom Blitz on medium :(

"GH on Hard is the same speed/difficulty as RB on Expert anyway. Don't compare GH's "Expert" to Rock Band because there is no equivalent difficulty setting in Rock Band."

If you only count the disc songs, I could agree, but if you include DLC I'd say Rock Band has more hard charts than GH3.

"GH is only over-charted on expert, so here's a little tip for you: DON'T PLAY IT ON EXPERT!"

It's not the difficulty on GH's over-charting that annoys the crap out of me, oh no. You see, I actually find RB to be harder do to it's timing. GH's timing is pretty much GH2 covered in weak sauce.

However, I hate the fact that, as a multi-instrumentalist, the over-charting makes the whole song feel awkward, misplaced (notes), and rather "meh" after a few play-throughs. It's not even remotely how I play the songs irl (excluding a few songs in RB, such as afterlife, the guitar/bass parts are somewhat the same) and it just makes it odd.

You usually can go two ways with games, make it EXTREMELY over-done (God hand, UT3's multi-player, GH3) or make it more like the real thing (COD4, RB, etc). I'd much rather play the former than the latter when it comes to music games, thank you very much.

tl;dr: music game no sound like song.

latter than former*

I've had too much to drink tonight...

Jimi had two amazing drummers. Mitch Mitchell is a drum god.

Aerosmith, Van Halen, and Eagles have been cited as "exclusive" by Activision.

AC/DC is implied as a Rock Band exclusive, but I don't believe it's official.

Metallica is not an exclusive to either side.

exclusives are for noobs... :p

damn, btw, has the song library for GH:WT been released? because Activision now has a huge library to pick from thanks to Universal...that and these exclusive deals should really give them the advantage

Activision can keep the Eagles. Who wants to play along to elevator music?

Doesnt matter if their exclusive, exclusive just covers the original DAT tapes being used, cover band versions are legal as long as you credit and pay the songwriter.

Intresting Fact! Your allowed to cover ANY song in the world, as long as you credit the songwriter properly and pay them their share, they don have to agree with you covering either,cause the money is handled by a third party (music union).

Even so, Jimi Hendrix original recordings went out of copyright a while ago, if you could get your hands on a DAT from the early era, your free to do as you wish without paying a penny.

(in other words, Jimi Hendrix Torrents are now legal)

Joystiq makes it's living announcing old news.

Minus one for you. >:(

Zachary who?

I think was a pretty big tip-off when they defaced a Hendrix statue by making it look like he was holding a Guitar Hero guitar...

No i guessed it the day gh3 came out.

I'm partial to the SRV Little Wing version myself, but with no vocals it wouldn't be fun.

I like SRV tons, but I have a tendency to prefer original versions, specially when that Original Version comes from Jimi :p

I love Jimi, but seriously, that SRV cover of "Little Wing" is simply unreal. I swear to God, there are parts in that song that sound like he's playing two guitars at once.

"We all know how crappy live tracks sound." Sure, maybe old ones, but modern live mixes are actually done very well. I suggest you listen to Dream Theater's Live at Budokan and Score CD/DVDs. Sure, Labrie's vocals aren't album perfect, but they have improved since his injury. The tracks are fantasticly mixed. I can't wait for the Chaos in Motion DVD coming at the end of the year.

I laughed.

No reason not to buy it...unless you're not interested in songs being overcharted to asinine levels, along with power-ups and boss battles that have no place in music games.

I'm always up for a challenge.. I'm not into Drums yet so Rock Band was very boring for me for the most part.

A'buh? I figured posting a commonly misinterpreted lyric from one of Hendrix's songs would be a fitting tribute and show of interest.

*shrugs*

@kizzle, btw

You know what? I think this is just the Comments feature messing up again. x_x;

Chase- I +1'd you for the ref. Sadly, I feel your pain on the comment system. Ugh.

"Also, licensing his music is one thing; using his image is a disgrace."

Since when has Neversoft been able to sell a game without a celebrity on the cover?
