JOHN GRANT?! I cannot thank you enough!!!! ” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_smile.gif” />

I’ve not posted in aaages (hiding my head in shame at my consistent inability to knuckle down and start MAKING customs…) but I have to pipe and say “WOW!” at this.

 

Multitracks are always best, to my mind, and (much as my tastes are of a more indie-rock bent) these will be mega-popular among my casual pals.

 

Thanks for two great years!

The chances of anything coming from Khimbar… hoping it’s better than a million to one!

I find chaining my barstaff up after work, and refusing to pay them until they play with me* works…

 

*On Rock Band 3, obviously

 

Seriously, putting it on at the end of a quiet night with the staff and a select few customers has become quite a ritual. A couple of the guys who’d scarcely even heard of Guitar Hero or Rock Band have since gone out and got their first guitars… ” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_smile.gif” />

By quite a margin, it has to be “Go Your Own Way” by Fleetwood Mac. I use it to warm up on drums (hard, the best I can manage) and it was one of the first songs I could comfortably play on Expert Guitar (“shooting Star” by Bad Company was the first, getting me used to the speed and oranges! Played that a lot too, but mostly pre-RB3)

Amazing stuff, here’s to year two (and three, and four!) ” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_smile.gif” />

Loving the poppier selection, and loving the multitracks (I won’t ask how you got them?!) even more. ‘Coolness’ aside for a moment, RB is always a great party game, and the sooner these get finished – but that I had time or skills to assist ” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_frown.gif” /> – the better!

[Southpaw]

If feedback is required, I can hardly wait for “I Touch Myself” to be finished ” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_smile.gif” />

[Southpaw]

With minimal duplication, and not thinking about RB-friendliness…

 

Joy Division – Closer

The Smiths – The Queen is Dead

Radiohead – OK Computer

The Decemberists – The Crane Wife

The Afghan Whigs – Gentlemen

Manic Street Preachers – the Holy Bible

Elbow – Asleep in the Back

Cherry Ghost – Thirst For Romance

Flaming Lips – The Soft Bulletin

Belle and Sebastian – If You’re Feeling Sinister

 

Would swoon if any of these were charted by the lovely C3 boys. If anyone has multitracks, then I’d simply die and go to heaven… well, maybe ” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_wink.gif” />

 

(Honorable mentions: Morrissey – Vauxhall or Arsenal; R.E.M. – Automatic or Out of Time; Counting Crows – August; Arcade Fire – Suburbs; Suede – Dog, Ma, Star; Grandaddy – Sopthware Slump; Jim White – No Such Place; Lambchop – Nixon… oh, ffs, who said TEN!?!)

Brown Eyed Girl would be a great party track – +1 to that!

Bumping this thread. I don’t know, but I expect we’re mostly 90’s teenagers here? There’s loads of great bands mentioned, but the glaring omissions from Rock Band so far? I say Afghan Whigs and Manic Street Preachers. Any love from the authors?

 

I wish I had the nous, and the time, to help out – still plan to learn and do some reductions, at least, but life and work are constantly towering over my ambitions of late. Not even getting time to play ” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_frown.gif” />

LOL, at the time, I thought the ‘karaoke’ vocals were meant to do that, as a ‘reward’ for playing accurately… actually quite liked that idea, but obviously it’s not up to C3 standards!

 

What DO the karaoke vocals do – is it just the option to turn the vocalist down?

 

(I like playing keys, but I’m recently trying to improve on drums (mostly still play medium) and guitar is just ‘friendlier’)

[Southpaw]

Ah, thanks – didn’t realise you could just mouse-over – d’oh

 

One of the first customs I played (whilst quite drunk *ahem*) was Everybody’s Changing on keys with a friend singing. Don’t play keys much, but KNEW I remembered the vocals cutting in and out. It makes sense now!

[Southpaw]

Just noticed updates to the Keane tracks have been released: any details on the changes?

[Southpaw]

Very excited for The Cure; great stuff.

 

I’ve never played Rocksmith so could be talking out of my behind, but couldn’t a semi-multitrack version of Boys Don’t Cry be captured from the audio? Even if it was only guitar, having multitracked instruments is a HUGE boon to my eyes…
