Guitar Hero + Rock Band

[Mike]

So I was convinced I was gonna skip Guitar hero, but after reading the previews, it sounds good... adn in the very least, has an awesome set list. Anyways... the main question... I know Harmonix is trying to make the rock band guitar compatible with old GH games.... so... is the GH guitar gonna be able to play with Rock Band?

Basically I want to play multiplayer on both games and I want to see if I have to cry about buying 2 guitars for rock band, and 1 for GH... or wait and buy both games at once (but blah to that, I want 'em now).

Anybody got any ideas? (Dee???)

A Conversation I Had About "Rock Band" With a Friend (whom I can't exactly recall):

Friend: Have you seen the controllers for Rock Band?
Dan: No. They're like the guitars for Guitar Hero, right?
F: Yeah, but Rock Band's guitars are going to have ten frets.
D: Ten Frets? Jesus! You might as well learn how to ACTUALLY play guitar.
F: That's not as fun, and it's still probably harder.
D: Slightly harder, but learning to play a real guitar is WAY more likely to impress the ladies.
F: Hmmm. Good point.

5 frets are just for soloing... basically you can hit them without strumming... so you can get through wild shit... woulda loved 'em for Hangar 18.

Oh it's so exciting. except that's gonna be a 300 dollar adventure in Oct/Nov for both games.

Good good stuff.

Some of you may or may not have known this already, but the following is a quick heads up to those that haven't.

On/around October 23rd Activision will be released a demo for "Guitar Hero III" on Xbox Live. Its scheduled to appear first as a pack in disc for the new Tony Hawk game two weeks earlier on the 9th, but for those with a bit of patience/less interest in buying a game for it rest assured that both versions of the demo are stated as containing the same content.

Song list for the demo follows:

Lay Down (by Priestess)
Even Flow (by Pearl Jam)
The Metal (by Tenacious D)
Hit Me with your Best Shot (as made famous by Pat Benatar)
Rock You like a Hurricane (as made famous by Scorpions)


Dammit! "as made famous by Scorpions".....

For the record: learning to play a real guitar is MUCH more difficult than learning to play Guitar Hero.
