Grr. I was VERY excited when I saw this, I then remembered I don't have a Live Gold account so have to wait a WEEK. Would be good if there was a disc image of it on the net like with GH3, but that was because it was on a disc with an issue of OXM, this isn't. _________________

Thanks for this... at least, it will let us EU/AU players discover this game way earlier than its release. _________________

Hmm... watch the videos, or have true sightreads...
*bookmarks videos to watch after work *
I'd say something about a Wii demo, but that's just a given. |

Downloading now.... I'm hoping (but doubting) that there's hyperspeed.
Good song choices. Stone Cold Crazy is awesome in Rock Revolution, Seek and Destroy has a nice solo, and No Excuses is Alice in Chains, therefore win. _________________
