we're getting the band back together

If there exists a reason to buy a big screen TV and an XBox 360 or PS3, Rock Band is it. We headed over to Tammy and George's last night, and had our first exposure to the game. Now, I know it's a blend and copy of about four games that were popular in Japan a decade ago, but that doesn't make it any less fun. What a riot.

Welcome to the dark side!

Hooray for Rockband!We had sooo much fun too! You 2 are great additions to the band-Come jam with us anytime! -Tammy

So, on the airplane yesterday I read an article about the guy who is now famous for recording all of those songs for rock band. They do them all from scratch and were talking about how now everyone who plays the game knows him and how even though he never made it as a rock star, now he is strangely back door known as one.

Seriously hooked on Guitar Hero III on the Wii over here... teaching our kids who Santana is, the Stones, Pat Benatar, Alice Cooper, the Sex Pistols & The Dead Kennedys, ZZ Top, ... a proper music education while they try to beat their old man who's playing songs he's heard a million times over the past 20 to 30 years... no chance girls! But you guys should hold out for Guitar Hero IV World Tour (like Rock Band = Guitar + Drums + Mike) and we can play together across the great divide!!! Coming Fall 2008!

Wow, yeah. I've played a couple times, now. Strangely addictive. I'd played Guitar Hero once at an arcade years ago (so, no instructions, and thus: baffling). I still can't get the hang of the guitar, but I enjoy the drums.--Ryan
