Rock Band - Battle of the Bands, Sponsored by Drumshhh Accessories

Is Geoff "G Money"? I always imagined him as a drug lord/pimp.

Wow. Some of the scores were pretty sick. I am doing a little bit of research to make sure there isn't a difference in scoring from the PS3 and 360. From what I can tell so far I don't think there is and I don't why there would be. I will still verify this though.

Edit: I have compared several songs/instruments on the Rockband.com leaderboards and there is no advantage from the PS3 or 360 versions.

One more clarification, while you can mix up what instruments/difficulty levels band members play, the number of members in a band is set after week two ends on 6/30. So if you have a 3 member band then it's a 3 member band. You can alway play a member down if you had to or wanted to. However, you can't add a fourth member if you currently have a 3 member band after 6/30.

I will have a tally up of all the scores and standings later today.

There were a few people (AZ, Crankbait, Wiltron, Snake) that posted interested but haven't posted their scores yet. I will give you all a one week grace period to post you scores for the first week in case you might have overlooked this thread.

The songs for week 2 and week 3 have been posted. I posted week 3 now since there is a holiday that week. The scores for week 2 are still due this Sunday 6/29 and the week 3 scores will still be due 7/6.

Week 2 - "Are You Gonna Be My Girl" (Jet), "Black Hole Sun" (Soundgarden), "Detroit Rock City" (Kiss) scores are due in by 11pm PST on Sunday, June 29th

Week 3 - "Learn To Fly" (Foo Fighters), "Main Offender" (The Hives), "Sabotage" (Beastie Boys) scores are due in by 11pm PST on Sunday, July 6th

Sorry supa, we didn't get a chance to send our scores in. But, looking at the scores posted so far, we're definitely in the bottom of the bottom tier!

[supafreak]

No worries. Judging from what we have seen so far, the bottom tiers will likely be the bands with 2 members.

[SpartanZypher]

I don't think it's fair that a band can have 9 members, while others can't add a single person to have a full band. That rule wasn't in place before most bands posted their scores, either, so how fair is that? That's like adding a new rule to a game after it's already started.

Good point. I will give all the bands one more week to add anymore members. After week two ends we will lockdown the number of members in a band. So after 6/30 the number of members in a band is locked down.

[SpartanZypher]

Thank you Supa. That's all I wanted

[supafreak]

No problem. This whole thing is for fun, so we want everyone to be happy and to keep it as fair as we can. Which for some of us less skilled is gonna be hard.

[D_Litch]

Your band is probably going to win no matter what, Zypher. So really, is arguing "fairness" something you should be worried about?

[Lord Sam]

This is from the Sunday night session of CoolStuffStores.Byaaah!, it's not on the setlist but this is how we rock out!

Twango Video

We've got Lord M F on drums, Lord Blaine on vocals, Jordykins on bass (in the back), and myself on guitar (up close).

Hey, cut him some slack, D... he thought he was being clever by kicking the drummer out of the band! His other bands all have drummers, so I think it is no coincidence

We make up for our strength in numbers with lack of skill! Out of the nine people in coolstuffstores.beyaaah, only two members actually have access to the game to practice. That would be Sam and "Marko Cain." For our band it is all about the music! We do it on the fly!

[Peench]

Love the video!!! That's awesome. Is anyone else gonna take photos or videos of their band? I want to see some guitars on fire and stuff!! Thanks for sharing!

[supafreak]

We are going to have a giveaway for the best band picture. So for those that are playing locally be sure to take a picture one week and post it up.

There is also going to be a prize for the best band name as well.


If anyone is still interested in joining you can still get on the contest. Just post your scores for the first two weeks by the deadline this Sunday.

After this Sunday we will lock the entries down.

[Woundup]

My wife and I still need a bassist and a vocalist if anyone is interested in joining let me know. We arent super great but we would really like to have another 2.

[OOHCHIT]

woundup me and my girlfriend would be intrested, we currently just have us.. i was on guitar and she was on vocals but if you dont find anybody let me know i have no problem with the bass..its easier anyway. I think it would be cool to have a 4 band members.we play on medium .Not sure how to join players online to form a band so not sure how that would works . I wounder if we can join your group and also keep our two man group as well.. lets see what supafreak says..
