I'm thankful these games started dying out. I don't care how you fags respond to this post because I'm sure it will all be "muh nostalgia" goggles for fake music games you played when you were 13, but regardless, here's the reason why the genre is now dead:
>games kept on coming out adding almost no content and not changing much from the previous ones
>devs weren't sure whether to make new games or just keep releasing songs as DLC
>instruments were expensive, and more fragile than a paper plate that caught fire

>>258588343
We all know why the genre is dead you clod.

>games kept on coming out adding almost no content and not changing much from the previous ones
The sad thing is Rock Band 3 actually added tons of new shit but the genre was dead before it even came out.

I still play it once in a while

Rock Band 3 sort of helped the progression by having all five buttons used on all four difficulties.
The worst thing was how they used to not only throw way more notes at you, but made you learn how to play all over twice.

I think they started doing it with the DLC the summer before RB3 came out, but yeah.
I only know because people complained on the Rock Band forums.

>>258587591
Just bought a couple guitars and some drums at various yard sales for about $8, having fun re-playing Rock Band with a few friends. The games are dirt cheap now too, a lot are under $5 at Gamestop. Also, Guitar Hero Metallica is hard.

>>258593310
It's kind of bullshit how the hardest song in GHMetallica isn't even by them. It's a fucking Slayer song.

No double hits or dropped notes whatsoever, and it simply amazes me how I lucked on in getting one of the good sets, rather than the ones that bubble up and break after a while.

What was it for you guys? Outside on RB1 for me.

>>258593612
That's really the only song I noticed that was missing. They did a really good job with the setlist for that game.
I even appreciate them putting Frantic in. They acknowledged St. Anger with its best (most ridiculous) song, and left it at that. It really feels like a tribute to the band, rather than a revisionist history like Van Halen's game.

>>258593791

Same here. Such a jamming tune to play on guitar and drums, but the preview doesn't do it any justice.

Another would be Science Genius Girl on drums. I wasn't even aware how tricky and fun it was until I actually looked up the chart.

Did the GH guitars continue with that godawful clacker strum bar after 3?

Even if they fixed that, the necks were still short as fuck and put my wrist at a weird angle.

>>258594852
If by clacker you mean the audible click then yes. They helped out immensely with tempo, whereas the marshmallow strum bar of Rock Band helped out with fuck all.

It's sad seeing the Rock Band/Guitar Hero fad finally start dying now that both series are on indefinite hiatus.

Even if they've stopped producing content, there's still hundreds and thousands and more hundreds of songs available, and they're actively working to keep as many up as they can for as long as possible.

It's never too late to start. The games are all cheap as dirt, and a fuck ton of DLC pre RB3 is now a dollar, so you can expand your library on the cheap. Every other song is still a buck ninety-nine, though.

>everything will begin disappearing once licenses start expiring
Activision just said "fuck it" and took down everything.
Harmonix are trying to renew as many contracts as possible. Sure, some bands aren't cooperating, but that's life. I don't get what RHCP's deal is, though.

>>258595279
>tfw Harmonix said they're gauging interest in a current gen Rock Band revival, and that they're waiting for the most opportune time to hopefully bring it back
If they managed to bring it back successfully and let you bring over all your DLC from last gen, I'd be a happy camper. You can already bring over licenses from 360 to Xbone, but I'm not sure about PS3 to PS4. I would imagine it would be the same.

>>258595694

Does Rocksmith still have that weird transitioning thing it does mid-song?

I tried it at a friend's house years ago. Just when you're getting used to one chart it just fucking notches it up a difficulty setting on the fly. I'd be okay if this was an optional thing but it seemed like the only way to play at the time.

>>258595694
Shouldn't you be on /o/?

Man, I love Rock Band. College was great. I'd keep my door open in my apartment, start playing, have a bunch of drinks, and just have a good time. It was glorious.

Guitar and Vocals here. Love simple songs where I can get into it, and songs from high school I was too ashamed to admit I liked. Say It Ain't So, Aqualung, Bat Country, Green Grass and High Tides, Handlebars, and Sugar We're Going Down are my favorites to play.

I played the Guitar Hero series. Good times.

Missed a few good songs, though.

Hey guys, if you want to get any of these songs for Rock Band, you have until the 26th:

>Fleetwood Mac - "Don’t Stop"

>Spinal Tap - "(Funky) Sex Farm"

God damnit.

>>258596783

Considering the work required to separate the tracks in those old songs, the setlist seemed to be a pretty decent length to me. Plus we got, what, three whole albums, including the fucking glorious Abbey Road medley?

The real problem was you got fuck-all in terms of bonus content. I know it was an idealized take on the band so we can't show any of the drama and eventual hate they had towards each other, but goddamn there's more in the Beatles vault than Let it Be footage.

>>258596758
>>258596932
It's Van Halen being shitheads. They always pretend the rest of their catalogue doesn't exist when Hagar or Roth joins back up.
Shit, GHVH could have been amazing if it had been some Best of Both Worlds shit. Hagar and Anthony as playable characters, and Wolfgang as an unlockable (I guess). And guest artist songs that aren't just "songs Wolfgang likes".

Was it actually a good shooter? I signed up for the alpha and ended up never getting in.

With Hagar, I have no clue.

Green Day is a guilty pleasure and I love Rock Band, but even I thought "Really?" It was a cash in. There was absolutely no love in there. I know GD isn't close to comparable to the Beatles, but come on... Two of those albums are concept, apparently. At least show what's supposed to be going on instead of Billie Joe looking like a faggot.

I actually preferred the harmonies in GD than I did in Beatles. Beatles normally was "sing the same thing, just higher/lower". Green Day actually had different parts, which I enjoyed. Jesus of Suburbia was great fun.

But yeah. Unneeded game for a band that's pretty trash.

>>258600176
If you don't like how spaced out the frets are on the GH guitars, then find an Xplorer guitar. It's the best GH ever made, but it's also the loudest. The draw to it is that the frets are square and real close together, which makes playing a hell of a lot easier as your fingers aren't spread too far apart.

>>258588343

Harmonix was godly since they did DLC for 5 years. They only had 3 games in the series.

God DJ Hero was so good. It came at the tail end of Activision releasing like 20 "XXX Hero" games so everyone kinda ignored it but it was so good. The setlists were great, the mixes were actually really well done, and the gameplay was completely unique. It's by far the best single-player rhythm game I've ever played.
We need to just get a Rock Band on the new consoles already. RB3 was the pinnacle of all music games but it's been long enough that they could just release that with better graphics and a new setlist and call it a day.

>>258596590
can you only shoot on beat or does it just do more damage?

The HUD could be a lot better. The rock band track in the centre looks confusing, they could have easily just had a pulsing reticle

>>258601384
They didn't do a great job with the albums they chose. For every Ten or Axis: Bold as Love, you ended up with a Dr. Feelgood or a Texas Flood that should really have just been a pack with the good songs from that and a few other albums.
Don't even get me started on Chinese Democracy.

I got the first Guitar Hero when it came out, and I loved it. I was already playing real guitar at the time, and I found it really entertaining and I even learned a couple songs from it because the note charts were really close to the actual song. I especially loved how the story mode really gave you the feel of coming up in the business.
I think Rock Band 3 was the high point of the genre, next to Rocksmith of course.
But man, Guitar Hero inspired me to start actually pursuing music as a potential career, and I'm glad it did. I played all over Florida for beer for a couple years, and lately I've started a funk trio with some cats I found in my neighborhood. They're old heads, but they're fucking sick.

I never liked using plastic guitars but I was thrilled when Rock Band came out. Getting to play drums and sing actually improved my skills quite a bit. That would rule so much if the next Rockband game had the drumming and singing features of Rock Band 3 but the guitar features of Rocksmith 2014.

Sigh....

>>258604589
I really want to try Rocksmith 2014 to try and improve my bass playing but I'm not sure where to get a cord. I hate social interaction but I'd honestly prefer buying it in person over ordering online. It probably doesn't help that I don't have a credit card of any sort anyways.

>>258604578
I wonder what the excuse was for Are You Experienced "Rock Band Edition" not having Red House? It's one of Hendrix's best guitar songs.

Probably an issue with the master tapes. I remember the mixing on some of the Hendrix stuff being a bit... off.

I guess I'm late huh? Anyways really enjoying Rocksmith.

>>258605492

Until Rocksmith adds some Primus they do a great job of enforcing the stereotype that bass is an easy instrument. There's a few challenging bass tracks but I'd stick to guitar for this game.

>>258605492
Just go to GameStop, it won't kill you. It's really not as bad as /v/ makes it out to be.

I never touched a guitar before picking up RockSmith 2014, been playing for...9 months or so, I went from not being able to switch between strings/moving up&down the fret board to being able to play all of the basic chords with smooth transitions, and I'm pretty shit at everything I do and I like to think I've made good progress. I can also play bass really well now. I also play acoustic too.
I'm going to record a low-fi EP when I get a decent mic.

This genre had such a strange run. At one point basically everyone was playing them then they just fell off the face of the planet after GHMetallica and World Tour.

>>258604589

I don't know if that'll work. Rockband and GH just have you triggering samples of the actual songs on Rocksmith you hear your playing through the speakers. Rocksmith can work with different instruments, it only needs a different interface and DLC, theres a rumour about RS2014 releasing on PS4, Xbone and iOS, maybe they are saving those features for that.

>being able to play all of the basic chords with smooth transitions

How did you do that? I've been playing since the original RS which was released on 2011... I tried the chord zombie minigame, but it was too fast. I tried the Return to Castle Chordead but its kinda repetitive and the characters a bit silly. I wish there were something simple like Scale runner where you can choose the chord progression of certain song and practice just that.

>>258607339
Harmonix was testing the waters on Steam and PC with Chroma, I guess it didn't went too well. GH is on PC but I never tried it.

>>258601717
That's an old alpha build, they fixed the HUD a long time ago. Also, when playing as Enginee(guy in the video) you can only shoot by matching the beat, it does more damage if you keep a chain

>>258607554
T-Thanks, I've been spending a bit of time in /mu/ guitar threads + producer threads, I've been trying to find a good producing software, right now I'm learning to use FL Studio, I'm gonna try to learn VST's/MiDi stuff so I can record some keyboard stuff.
>>258607653
I don't play the minigames too much, I mostly just do learn a song. If you have RS2014 play Bob Dylan's Knocking on Heaven's Door's rhythm track, it helped me with basic chords TONS.

>>258607231
whats that green cable?

>>258597773
What was the point of Green Day Rock Band? I played through it once on expert guitar, and every fucking song sounded and played exactly the same. Even though I'm not a Beatles fan, at least that game clearly had fun with itself with the incredible art direction and attention to detail.

Green Day is just such a boring, shitty band to focus an entire rhythm game on.

>>258608421
The picture is misleading, was using a 3.5mm cable and had a 1/4" to 3.5mm adapter plugged in her guitar. There are patches to use usb guitar interfaces if you already have one, but those adapters are really cheap.

It was a contract thing with MTV, I think. They wanted a game based on a band the kinds would like, so Harmonix chose one that had been going for over twenty years.

I still play these games pretty often on Expert guitar, but what kills me is that even though I've been playing them since the very first day Guitar Hero 1 came out in 2006, my scores still barely ever make it into the top 10%.

How the fuck did people pick these games up for a year or two when they were at their peak, get the scores they did, and then clearly never play them again? I thought for sure with all the damn time I've spent on these dumbass plastic guitar games I'd have SOME level of skill to show off, but I just don't. Hell, I remember back in 2007 or 2008 when those videos of that 8-year-old kid FC'ing shit like Psychobilly Freakout on Expert were on Youtube, and I'm still nowhere near that level of skill.

The first Rock Band guitar was practically clack-less. I don't know why people disliked the strum bar so much. I remember it being described as "too squishy" and I don't even know what they meant by that.

You guys are aware that there's a small community that makes new packs of songs for Rock Band every single week still, right? And that you don't need a modded console to play them? And that you can play them on 360, PS3, and Wii? And that they've ported almost every single notable song from Guitar Hero in addition to making brand new songs?

Customs Creators Collective. It's a thing. And it's also the thing that reignited my love for the game.

It doesn't matter how good you are at fingering if the girl isn't attracted to you. Maybe you can fingerbang a girl into an orgasm based coma but that doesn't mean shit all unless you can get to that point.

The songs on RBN aren't solely reliant on the blessing of Harmonix. The bands themselves take them down from time to time, and even now there is nothing stopping a band from putting their tunes on the RBN, so long as they create the charts.

CCC is the best thing to happen to Rock Band. It's kept a game that died in 2010 alive, and there really is no incentive for them to do what they're doing other than pure kindness.

The only gripe I really have, is that they're a bit too diverse. One week they have some solid tunes that are good for everybody, the next they're putting out fucking Shakira songs.

It's really not as hard as you might expect. I've made three custom songs using nothing but pksage's video tutorial and the authoring docs. You can find both on the C3 forums.

Guitar was the worst part about that game, unless you like the speed of strumming. Bass is really fun and drums ramp up in difficulty really fast. Singing is really fun, too, but I guess it depends on how much you like the songs. I actually wasn't a big fan of Green Day until I played GD:RB.

RB1 guitar strum bars just don't feel as responsive as Guitar Hero guitars I've owned. I remember liking the RB2 guitar a hell of a lot more than 1, but I don't have a working one and haven't played on one in a very long time.

My favorite (video game) guitar that I own right now happens to be the GH5 one. The touchpad is a blast, wish I could use it in RB; the strum bar is shaped more like a RB guitar strum bar, but is covered in a material that has never caused my fingers to slip, and the wammy bar is long as shit.

That sounds alright. Too bad the group I play with now can barely play hard guitar to save their life.

And unless one specific friend is play with us, I'm pretty much dedicated drummer, even though I can play any instrument on Expert, depending on the song.

I actually can't wait to move back to my hometown and play with people who are better than me.

Is it possible to pirate the PC guitar hero games and play them using a wired 360 guitar? Kinda wanna do that.

rock band destroyed itself, pretty much every song you want has been released, no reason to make a new version,

Yes. I did this with my PS3 wireless guitars, don't see why wired 360 ones wouldn't work.

I hate to be the guy to try but I'd love to attempt to learn guitar with this.

>>258629108
It is one of those games where you aren't good unless you own it. I've yet to met anyone who casually saw it parties that can play above medium. And if you're looking for a challenge to carry you through, you can always learn to play lefty.

>>258594153
The DJ Hero games were literally the last Activision games I bought. The music in those games were so damn cash that I can't believe they stopped making those games.

>>258629753
You don't trigger samples on Rocksmith like you do on GH or RB, what you hear is what you play on your instrument.

The way pirated and custom DLC works is, they get their IDs changed to Cherub Rock, preorder bonus song so a lot of people have it already. The game thinks all those songs are legit, so you can play them.

I'd say pirate it and if you really like the game, buy it during a sale its been $15 on Steam and other sites multiple times.

>>258629850
At least one of my friends in my new group actually owns multiple GHs, but he only likes to get drunk and sing the same 5 songs every time.

Another one of my friends, the only other one that switches out drums with me, is hyped no matter what instrument he's on. He's not that great at playing, but I appreciate him the most.

I used to play lefty on GH2 and RB1 back in high school for a challenge. Maybe I'll try it with my new group some time. When I play by myself, though, I'll usually play vocals and guitar if I feel like guitar isn't challenging enough.

>>258587591
DJ Hero.... really?

Anyway... I'm mostly sad I was never able to get the pro drummer kit because of where I live and my chances of finding one grow thinner by the day.

I was one of those guys that got too good at the game. I looked into the optimal star power paths and overdrive paths for rockband to maximize scores as much as possible.
Havent really played gh much since i 5 starred ttfaf. Strum bar stopped working just after i managed that.
Since then I switched to playing bass and just recently picked up guitar. Feels so much more rewarding and fun

>>258630576
Other fun challenges, play blind folded, play upside down, play right handed but have the notes coming left handed, a combination of the first two while also left handed.

Me and my friend started doing some really weird shit with this game by about 2012.

>>258629753
Thats just how it is, theres a lot of overcharting in games, because... games! They have to be fun and challenging. Actual guitar is sometimes just that easy.

Are those guitars ambidextrous?

>>258631357
For the most part, no. If you do learn lefty you're pretty much forced to sit down and play like a fag.

They're really missing out here. Lots of people have an E-Kit, and since Rocksmith expects you to have already spent the few hundred on the guitar, how far fetched is it to have them expect that you already have the $600 E-Kit?

>>258631182
I've played upside down a couple of songs in high school. One time I played a song in GH4 and I ran in place the whole time.

Never thought of playing blind folded, but I bet I could on a lot of RB1/2 songs (Performance mode is basically the same thing, yeah?).

A couple months ago I got really obsessed with buying a Rock Band Stage Kit until I found out that it was 360 only.
http://youtu.be/oLpv7eIi70A
There's a way better video I found of the Stage Kit on some Bon Jovi song, but I can't find it.

Holy shit a music game thread.

Do any of you know which dongle I need for this guitar (on ps2)

Found it for $1.25 yesterday, but I couldn't find the dongle. I really want to play Guitar Hero 2 again.

>>258632218
E-kits are just really pricey, I can't find the numbers now but a really small fraction of rocksmith players use the game with a bass or even emulated bass. I guess theres just not enough interest in other instruments.

I'd love it though, I'm getting a keyboard hope synthesia is good and for future keyboard support on Rocksmtih.

>>258632218
get Guitar Hero and this: http://download.cnet.com/GH-Drum-Midi-Filter/3000-2121_4-10909390.html

>>258632735
Is that not the 360 GH2 guitar? I thought all PS2 guitars were wired.

>>258632218
How is spending at least $500 on an E-Kit the same as spending a couple hundred on a guitar? Not to mention a lot of people have guitars lying around as hand-me-downs.

>>258632735
I think it may just be a standard PS/2 to PS adapter, or a breakaway cable.

If it's wireless(which I assume it is), then you may have to dig around for one. On the back of the guitar should be all the specifics like make and model, so pop that into Google and you should get something.

Sorry I can't really help you that much.

>>258588343
look at this cool guy telling it like it is

>>258632594
Advice for blindfoldedness, start with something really predictable like The White Stripes.

As for the stage kit, it looks cool but I don't think I'd get it.

>>258633197
There were wireless PS2 Guitars. I have one in front of me that says Guitar Hero Wireless Guitar for Playstation 2.

I also remember GH3 and GH Aerosmith coming with wireless guitars.

Learn how to read.

You can buy a decent electric guitar for less than $200. You are spending over $500 for a non-shitty e-kit.

I'm also pretty sure that guitars are more popular.

>>258633529
I wish I still had mine. Glad to see another one with no shitty stickers all over it.

>>258633394
I feel like I know a ton of RB1 songs like the back of my hand, seeing as how I've been playing them for a better part of a decade.

If the stage kit was made for PS3, I probably would've bought one. Last summer, I was having a RB party at someone's house at least twice a month, so it seemed worth it.

So, is it worth it to use Rocksmith to learn bass?

>>258634681
As a non-guitarist with guitarist friends, I'm told that $99 guitars are cheap and not worth getting, but I bet you could still play RS with it (if it stayed in tune long enough for one song). $150-$200 will get you a decent entry level electric. If you spend more than $300, you probably know how to play a guitar and are looking for better equipment, or you're an enthusiast.

The only entry level (as in decent enough to be considered an instrument and not a toy) e-kit I've seen was $500 on sale. You're laying the price of a next-gen console on the line, you better be sure you want to play drums for the foreseeable future.

You could probably buy a "real" drum-kit for cheaper than that, but the logistics of getting input from that into a game(the original premise) would be a nightmare.

>>258635291
Been having lots of fun with bass once I started using a pick because I'd always make a shitty noise using my fingers.

>>258635796
Real drum kits are not a few hundred bucks. Real kits are in the thousands, depending on how big and "complete" you want your kit to be.

>>258635861
I thought fingers were a legitimate option until I actually played a guitar. I know some people use their fingers, but doesn't it hurt. Like, a lot?

>>258636027
either really strong fingers or they really know how to play using their fingers

>>258636027
Once you get callous on your fingers it shouldn't hurt.

>>258636027
You get used to it, but yeah it does end up causing you a fair amount of physical pain until your fingers callous enough.

>>258635984
I was saying that for the sake of argument. You "could" spent 50 bucks a pop for a snare, hi-hat, crash and bass drum. You would technically have a kit, but it would be of questionable quality and you couldn't play any tom parts (i.e. Maps would be out of the question). I'm aware that any good drummer has spent at least a grand on his kit.

>>258636186
>>258636224
>>258636264
Finger pain is what prevented me from wanting to learn guitar for so long. I don't know what happened between being a teenager and now, but when my friend showed me Rocksmith a few months ago, I didn't have the finger pain I used to, and it's gotten much less painful as I've played (like everyone said it would). I couldn't imagine doing it again from scratch on my right hand fingers, though.

>>258636402
>I'm aware that any good drummer has spent at least a grand on his kit.

>>258636804
We're not talking about musician quality you turdhuffer.

I've heard electric guitars metal strings require less effort to press in comparison to acoustic guitar strings. Also theres smaller guitars with less tension and different string gauges.

So now it is about musician quality? You seem to be flip-flopping friend. Almost like you have no idea what you're talking about.

>implying I play drums

>>258636975
Actually, that's probably what changed. My mom had 2 ukuleles that I would pick up every now and then, and they always hurt my fingers after a few minutes. My only other experience was with an acoustic at a friend's house. Obviously, the friend that showed me Rocksmith had an electric.

>>258637239
>>258637101 isn't even me.

So I really thought about how the term "good drummer" might be misconstrued as I typed it, but thought that I was getting my point across. Obviously, a skilled drummer can play on trash cans and still sound good.

>>258637758
The action on electrics is generally a lot lower than acoustics, especially ones that aren't maintained well

>>258637758

Your b8 is weak, but you almost got me with it.

4/10 for the effort.

How does the GH5 controller compare to 3 and 4's? My old ones are double strumming or the buttons don't work right and I've had the itch to play these cames for a couple months.

>>258587591
So when I play a note in rocksmith, it registers it one fret lower. How do I fix this? I'm on the PS3 if it matters

>>258638159
I heard they were alright. Those I knew that had one had no qualms with it.

Still though, nothing will ever top the GH2 and GH3 guitars.

>>258601749
I actually just got around to listening to Chinese Democracy, and I think it's...okay.

Shackler's Revenge is pretty cool, so is Better and Catcher in the Rye.

>>258638159
I like my GH5 guitar very much.

>>258638368
Recalibrate that shit. RockSmith can be finicky at times with detection, especially if you have a cheaper guitar.

>>258638527
Okay so it's probably my guitar? (I'm using a guitar I got for $50 on cyber monday because I didn't want to invest alot of money in something I wouldn't stick with, but I stuck with it) Cause I recalibrate it before every song and that usually does nothing. Should I invest in a new guitar? What would you recommend?

I think my biggest mistake was getting into these games on the Wii since it was all I had at the time. Should I bother getting the newer games for it or switch to another console?

>>258638806
I'm not really one to ask about guitars. I know jack shit about them, and all I have for RockSmith is some $400 acoustic I bought on a whim 10 years ago.

>>258638806
Check the intonation.

>>258620382
Probably because the people making the custom songs aren't getting profit from it.

>>258638902
Aightie

>>258638891
I'd honestly recommend getting it for PS3 or 360 if you could. It's not like you're gonna be breaking the bank anyways to get the games.

I always disliked the way Rock Band looked on PS2 and Wii. The notes had this weird raised look to them, and the overdrive notes looked funky.

Lars Ulrich is the guy to shit on when it comes to poor drumming. It's not terrible, but compared to many other bands, especially in the same genre, it's flat as fuck.

>>258639184
>Implying patterns and speed determine what makes a skilled drummer
Lars isn't regarded for his speed and precision. He's regarded for the beats he created for all the songs. To say Lars isn't a skilled drummer is both ignorant and silly.

>>258638994
>>258638806
Get a Squier or Epiphone for cheap kind of decent shit.

>>258639293
Beats which are, for the most part, simple and uninteresting.

>>258639417
Yet there is nothing inherently wrong with them. Just because he isn't a Mike Portnoy or Neal Peart with intricate cymbal and tom work, doesn't make him unskilled.

>>258639502
So being able to keep time (which Lars struggles to do with double bass) is all it takes to be a skilled drummer?

This just in my wristwatch is a fucking drum prodigy.

>>258639586
Spoiler alert, double bass isn't always an in synch time signature.

Don't worry though, maybe one day you'll learn what the fuck you're talking about.

>>258638806
just to be safe, you do know that when it tells you to strum the 0 fret to do an open strum right? and to play fret 1 means to press the first fret on your guitar?

>>258639736
>implying Lars is skilled enough to do any clever syncopation besides Latin breakbeats
>implying Metallica does any weird time signature stuff besides Blackened

>[The criticism] used to [bother me], back in the day - and I spent a lot of time overcompensating for that on the early records. But then you wake up one day and you're like, 'whatever.' It hasn't bothered me for about 15 years. I'm no Joey Jordison. I'm no Mike Portnoy, and I have nothing but love and respect and admiration for all those guys. When I hear some of the young dudes, they blow my mind with what they can do with their feet and stuff - but it's not something that makes me go, 'I need to feel better about myself so I'm gonna learn how to do what they do with my feet.' I'm not a particularly accomplished drummer but I am very, very, very good at understanding the role of the drums next to James Hetfield's rhythm guitar. I guarantee you I'm the best guy in the world for that, and that's enough for me![17]

>Prior to forming Metallica, it has been said that Lars Ulrich had a small beginners kit that he never played, and James Hetfield originally did not want to jam with Ulrich due to the drummer's novice abilities.

Fuck, just Google 'is Lars Ulrich a good drummer' and see what it spits out at you.

You can usually find at least one person in a couple of minutes. People are prone to leaving though, sometimes it's if you wait too long for another player, sometimes it's if you choose a song they don't like (even though they can remove it from the setlist)

Posting current music games I've had fun with.

Kickbeat: soundtrack's a little too edge-core (Papa Roach, Rob Zombie, etc), but it's fun.

140: really minimalistic game where you're a geometric shape going through a level that moves to the beat. DnB/dubstep-ish OST.

The Bit.Trip games. I've only played Runner 2, but I bought the rest of them during summer sales, will get to them.

Crypt of the Necrodancer: roguelike where you move to the beat. OST is really fucking good, but you can do custom level soundtracks. It's still early access, but there's a lot there.

Soundodger: basically Touhou: the music game. It's free to play on Adult Swim's site. Really good OST.

That's all I got right now. Also, this: https://www.humblebundle.com/flash Music games.
