fighting fish Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 (edited) With the imminent release of Rock Band 2 and the inclusion of online world tour, I figured I’d see if anybody was interested in starting a band. If enough LCVG bands were started, then competing in the “Battle of the Bands” style tournament would also be a great idea. I know that in the past, scheduling long-term online gaming seems to fall apart, because I guess people on this forum insist on having lives outside of gaming. But from what I’ve heard, Rock Band 2 handles this pretty well, with substitute members allowed to play in the band and the ability to replace members of the band. edit ROSTER NAME | SYSTEM | GUITAR | BASS | DRUMS | VOCALS DCA ORD NRT | XBox 360 | Hard | Expert | Medium | Medium EnemaEms | XBox 360 | Expert | Expert | Medium | Medium Eldorado | XBox 360 | Hard | Hard | Expert | X fighting fish | XBox 360 | Hard | Expert | Medium | Hard gunnerxxx | XBox 360 | Hard | Hard | Medium | Hard NIGHTW1NG | XBox 360 | Medium | Expert | ? | Medium Quicksand | XBox 360 | Hard | Hard | Medium | X Scott Van Dyke | PS3 | Easy | Easy | Easy | X Alternate Starhawk | XBox 360 | HARD | HARD | HARD | X Edited September 22, 2008 by fighting fish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starhawk Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 I'd be up for this once I get Rock Band 2. I didnt own the first one, but I could play Hard guitar, Medium/Hard Drums, and Hard/Expert Bass at friend's houses. Im not the most available person at the moment, so I'd more likely play a back up role if that's possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony G Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 No doubt about it. Count me in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldorado Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 I'd be in for this. I'm mostly expert, some hard on drums and mostly hard, some expert on guitar/bass. I would need some time to get used to the Ion set when it does happen to get here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graeme Posted September 3, 2008 Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 I still play RB1 online on a consistent basis, so I'll definitely be in for RB2. They haven't really discussed how Online BWT is going to work though. I have a feeling that it will be where you're working through the hosts BWT progress and everyone else is really just helping out (and having fun). How ever it works though. I'm almost always up for RB. And I have a lot of DLC. I can play anything depending on the time of day. Usually I'm guitar or bass though (expert in RB1, but I think there's going to be quite a few songs in RB2 that I won't be able to pass on Expert, at least not alone).

EnemaEms Posted September 3, 2008 Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 In for sure. One of the few games I still play regularly. I haven't played in a couple of weeks in anticipation of Rock Band 2. I can play Hard/Expert Guitar or Bass. Medium drums (some hard). Easy/Medium vocals. -Dean- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fighting fish Posted September 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 Cameron, my schedule hasn't been very free either, maybe we can organize bands based on a combination of skill-level and time (both when and length of time) to play. Graeme, a couple of weeks ago, they had some of the Harmonix guys over at X-Play. They talked a bit about it. No word on if there is a "leader" of the band, but it does sound like the four people are the band and there is some sort of progression there, not just backup for the host. If there is a concept of a "leader" then it'll be interesting to see if that person can be kicked-out or substituted.

Graeme Posted September 3, 2008 Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 Thanks for those links. I can't quite wrap my head around how it's going to work, but it should be interesting. Hopefully there will be a blog from HMX about it soon. If anyone wants to play some RB1 to get warmed up, let me know. I haven't been playing a lot lately but have been getting back into it more recently. I have a group of people on my friends list that I play with regularly, but we're usually always looking for a 3rd or 4th member at any given time.

Anthony G Posted September 3, 2008 Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 I can play Guitar on Hard, Drums on Medium (with practice I can move that to hard) and my Mic is still in the box (can't sing for shit). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starhawk Posted September 5, 2008 Report Share Posted September 5, 2008 Another reason for me to be a back up player: Im buying the bundle and don't own RB1, so it doesn't look like I'll be able to join you guys until October 19th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnemaEms Posted September 14, 2008 Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 Created my band last night. My character's name is The Center. Bands name is Fake Orgasms. -Dean- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anthony G Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 Had a blast tonight with Dean. First we played a session with my band, The Purple People Eater s (had to move the s a space as the name was already taken, bastards). Then a session with Fake Orgasms. Fun stuff.

Scott Van Dyke Posted September 19, 2008 Report Share Posted September 19, 2008 Another reason for me to be a back up player: Im buying the bundle and don't own RB1, so it doesn't look like I'll be able to join you guys until October 19th. Glad to see I'm not alone. I can play guitar/bass on easy, and drums on easy. No singing. Don't everyone charge at me all at once now. I actually like to go to the new BB in town and play the game from time to time. I cannot wait for RB2 bundle to come out to PS3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calvin Posted September 19, 2008 Report Share Posted September 19, 2008 I can play bass on medium/hard/expert. Guitar & vocals on medium - drums will vary. I love this game & I'm willing to be a part of a band... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fighting fish Posted September 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2008 Updated the first post to keep a list of the people that are interested, if I missed anything, let me know. It would be good if we could get a couple of bands out of this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnerX Posted September 20, 2008 Report Share Posted September 20, 2008 I can play medium/hard on all. Well, maybe not drums yet. Still waiting for my IONs to arrive but I have RB1 drums that I can use. My bands name is Rockin' Monkeys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter O Posted September 20, 2008 Report Share Posted September 20, 2008 I'm always up for rocking out. DCA ORD NRT, Xbox 360, hard guitar, expert bass, medium drums, medium vocals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starhawk Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 Now that I actually have this, Im up for some Rock Bandin' Guitar: Im playing on Hard and can do well with all but the highest ranked songs. Teen Age Riot just gave me a run, but I finished it with 87% first time playing through. It sure felt like I missed more than that. Bass: Im playing on Hard and could probably swing Expert on some songs. Drums: I have to lower to Medium. Hard is just kicking my ass right now. Vocals: I really havent given too much of a shot yet. I usually only like to sing when Im playing with other people. Probably medium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RudyN Posted October 25, 2008 Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 Just picked this up yesterday. I suck as I'm only playing guitar on medium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
