    I was tempted to buy this because it's a LEGO game, but what would have really sold me on it is if they'd at least bundled a LEGO-fied guitar controller with it. #legorockband

    Don't all of the Lego games not have online play? It seems like Traveller's Tales refuses to acknowledge that people would want to play their games together online. #legorockband

    No, but Brickforge sells custom LEGO-style proton packs and guns, so you can at least make custom Ghostbusters minifigs:

    @Benguin:
    The two basic options there are the Rebel Mechanic/Engineer torso (has some sort of vertical bars over the belly) and the Cloud City Luke shirt (no vertical bars). The latter both looks more accurate and is considerably cheaper on Bricklink due to having been reused on at least half a dozen City minifigs (including the Boy Scout from Cafe Corner). #legorockband

    Any suggestions for a dark green Master Chief minifig though? I ordered some of those parts from Brickforge too. #legorockband

    @Benguin:
    There are only two dark-green minifigs right now. One is Ryo from Exo-Force, and the other is Professor Lupin from Harry Potter. The Halo armor fully covers the torso, so it will hide the painted design, but if you prefer to have a completely paint-free torso you can always scrub it clean with an abrassive metal polish like Brasso. It takes some serious elbow grease (it does not dissolve the paint), but the surface will actually be left more glossy than a brand-new LEGO brick.

    Note, however, that there are _no_ dark-green hands. Not sure if you'd need them or not, but... #legorockband

    "Accidentally in Love" is generic to the point where they probably wrote the song for Shrek before they picked the band, but "August and Everything After" and "Recovering The Satellites" are both good albums. #legorockband

    @spiderweb1986: Actually they picked the band and the tempo. Counting Crows wrote the song knowing what the tempo needed to be. I believe the lead singer was surprised to hear they wanted a happy song from him. I think he said something along the lines of "Do you know what kind of songs I write?" But he was falling in love at the time and wrote a very basic song about it which happened to work very well with the movie. #legorockband

    @d1nonlyclo: In my defense, the only reason SNL was on my mind was because I sat through it Sunday with my daughter who loooooves Taylor Swift. We also watched the Crossroads episode with Swift and Def Leppard playing each others' songs. I drew the line at the CMA's.

    I'll just be over here listening to Fuck Buttons on my headphones to overcompensate. #legorockband
