    Well done, Harmonix. You should celebrate by putting out another RHCP pack, or a Type O Negative pack... /notsosubtlehint

    request: I would love to see a post that showed early, unused versions of games' logos, typographic design work.

    Maybe a bit off topic but this is really important to me: in the rock band logo, the "a" and "n" of band *almost* meet the center, the cleft between the "o" and "c" of rock. Almost. Just a few more pixels to the right, and bam! You would be looking at a face.

    Which is why it is not that way, I suppose. Always admired that logo, it's a nice bit of graphic work. It just teases my eye a bit.

    @Knoxximus ver. 5.66: I've got every one of the songs except for the stuff released this past week. We're talking about songs from Rock band 1, Rock band 2, Lego Rock band, the AC/DC track pack, exclusives from both the Metal and Country packs, and all the DLC available for the 360 since last week. I just need to wait for my paycheck and, hoping I have enough cash left after bills and such, grab this week's content.

    @Knoxximus ver. 5.66: My neighbor is a serious Rock Band fan, and has the ion kit. My first and only experience with Rock Band was on those drums. I had no desire to try the guitar, bass, or vocals; but man! Those drums! Very fun to play with. I really felt that I could learn how to play drums, for real, with those; and was curious how it would be to play them standalone as an independent instrument.

    @Mega-Driven: Speaking as someone who moved to real drums from RB, I can say yes, Rock Band will teach you the fundamentals, some sticking, and limb independence. The ION kit as a "real" drumkit is a bit lacking, but decent for beginning. From my experience, you outgrow your first kit fast, though.

    @BoomingEchoes: He never said that. He basically said that it's a sad thing if you need to be in a video game to get your music known these days. He never said that people shouldn't play the games, nor did he say that they should pick up an instrument. What White said was more of a stab at todays youth rather than the games they play. #rockband

    @robpe36: he never said he was against them. he said he didn't precisely like the way they introduce people to music.

    you have to understand his bias. for him, learning to play the guitar, writing songs, and becoming a liked, then well-liked, then famous, then world-famous musician was a process that he might call the greatest feeling in the world.

    i've played a two-minute guitar solo of my own composition in front of two hundred people, a small fraction of his audiences, and i can totally begin to understand where he's coming from (without forgetting where music game fans come from).

    for him, for a person who loves creating and exploring music so much, it's hard to understand why someone would want to just pretend to play it. it's maybe hard for him to understand why you wouldn't want to be making it yourself. he finds it silly that people like these music games. it might not occur to him that some people don't want to create music of their own. they're happy just pretending, and listening, and appreciating.

    though he probably, somewhere in his heart, understands that it brings them pleasure, and figures he shouldn't deprive them of that. (or himself of money lol)
