If you nabbed the Green Day Rock Band demo off Xbox Live, chances are you've seen the Harmonix teaser for Rock Band 3 which hints at the inclusion of keyboards and harmony vocals thanks to some clever icons next to the game's logo.
It's no secret this budding genre has spent its life expanding to as many facets of music since inception, so adding keys and more vocals would, of course, be a bit of a no-brainer, but it once again means updating your kit with even more peripherals; clogging up your home-entertainment space and requiring the acquisition of even more musically-minded friends. Next thing you know we'll be looking at London Philharmonic Orchestra Rock Band.

Keyboardmania was so bullshit hard that it would be completely unappealing to GH/RB players.

Who cares when it gets released in Australia? The internet is a beautiful thing.

rock band, guitar hero et al = fail.
best thing was the addition of drums and singing.
billy joel, elton john and ben folds on the keytar, playing one note lines (because playing the actual piano parts on a keytar for most of these guys songs would be impossible as they are 2 hand parts) sounds half assed and will probably please non-musician types but.

to the point that this is how i finished my last ever game on the faggot drumkit which does nothing to simulate actual drumming.
the guitars are next.

These games are fun, if you can't accept them as a bit of harmless fun, your loss.

anytime i relax and add some natural feel, it glitches and fucks up.
too rigid for me. works well for the metal songs i guess.
and yeah the rage was from trying to fix the thing.

But I've been plaiyng through the Beatles game recently, and its pretty sweet, awesome presentation too.

Yeah thats probably the most annoying thing to me, as I play real drums, its hard to get a groove going and have to concentrate way more than just jamming along with a band.
OK for certain songs like Metal stuff that is usualy pretty straight up with the beat.
