So maybe I missed it.

Did he ever say what the other unannounced song he saw was?

Fun thread :-) I'm getting the same impression from Rock Band that others here are voicing. I've watched all the videos and I can't remember one where there wasn't a long, repetitive guitar track shown. Those kind of songs in the GH series are by far my least favorite and I usually have trouble playing them more than a couple of times. That said, hopefully either I've missed the solos in the videos, or they've just not shown them for some reason. It just kind of seems like they're focusing on songs without good solos in order to keep all the band members involved. I'd love to see some songs with extended guitar AND drum solos.

I'm sure there's a lot more to come, including more difficult songs, but for now my enthusiasm for RB has tapered off quite a bit. I'll buy it either way, I'm sure, since I'd like to give the drums a try and I'm now a sucker for these types of games.

I'm intending to get the game+drums pack at launch, and pick up the guitar later, since I'll have GH1, GH2, GH80s, and maybe GH3 to keep me company on the plastic guitar. On the other hand, there are plenty of great drum tracks, especially with at least one song by Neil Peart and an entire album full of Keith Moon.

And there are challenging tracks for guitar. Won't Get Fooled Again is at least a Tier 5/6 and Highway Star sounds even harder. Plus, they've promised us a bunch of Metallica tracks available through DLC, and most of those are really tough.

I'm hungry for ANY information and one thing I want to know about is the tiers, which I know jack about other than Number of the Beast being in the final tier. So, for the guys who wet to the SH event, can you just tell us one song (thats already announced) in one tier besides NotB and bonus songs? I can't think of a reason to be that secretive about the game.

this went from being a thread about a guy playing a demo and telling us how much he liked it...

to a bunch of guys just flaming each other about Rock Band and GH3

first of all this a waste of all of our time just reading all these posts.

I can't believe how much sushi says he hates gh3

all i can say is go reread the scorehero invades neversoft thread

they are both going to be awesome games but the real talented players will be the ones who rock out on GH3 because it is obviously going to be harder.

why? why did i say this?

simple rock band is going to have solo buttons...solo buttons that dont require strumming. making the solos a lot easier to accomplish. rock band is going to have 4 different things going on at once. if the guitar and bass parts are too hard well it will just be too much information for the playstation or xbox or wii to even translate meaning stuff will skip and freeze.

gh3 has scorehero..it's been around a year and neversoft has actually hired people that were making cutsoms here to go work there. meaning they are going to make us soe of the toughest solos we've ever thought of. there fore rock band wont be as hard as GH3.

but I am honestly much much much more interested in the OP...what happened is the disk still there? are there anymore new songs to announce? got pics?

Nobody was saying that, you're taking this way out of hand. He's merely pointing out the fact that some people might enjoy a more competitive guitar-focused game - but you're the one who was saying you couldn't understand why anyone would prefer GH to RB, and basically flamed us all as idiots for not having the same preference as you.

Please, can we just drop the whole GH vs. RB argument - this is supposed to be a thread about the new Guitar Hero songs at Leipzig.

I never meant the comment to be insulting, I was just playing around. I guess I forgot about the little tounge out smiley at the end

I never started the whole argument. I simply stated that I didnt like the songs and someone pointed the finger at me and said I was in "hate everything about GH3 mode" which was a lie. I just stated my opinion, and you guys obviously took offense to it, so people started insulting me and saying things that simply werent true. So of course I got a little excited.

To get back on topic, I really dont care about the bonus songs because I end up playing them like once or sometimes not at all (There are some bonus songs in GH2 I didnt even care to finish).

It seems odd that the RB and GH3 setlists seems to be crafted for my sister this time around with When You Were Young, Miss Murder, and Ruby being in GH3 and Creep, Main Offender, and Here It Goes Again in Rock Band.

Let's just get back on topic, shall we?

Since their announcement, I've now had a chance to listen to all of the songs that were announced at Leipzig (Kaiser Chiefs was the only one I'd heard previously) except for Nast, which I couldn't find on youtube, and there's none there that I particularly dislike or anything. Some of them sound like they'll be quite fun to play.

I'm pretty happy about the fact we've gotten well over half the setlist so far and there are no songs that I really dislike or anything. Here's hoping the remaining third or so of the setlist will have a few more of the songs/bands I am really holding out for though.
