Chinese Democracy coming to Rock Band 2

[LittleFly]

I don't wanna hear anyone complaining about Axl getting sick at the end of that tour   Now you know how intense he sings   

[ppbebe]

what song was easier and what song was most difficult to sing/to play for you?

[D]

Just judging by the album, Id say CD would be the easiest or maybe Sorry

Prostitute would have to be the hardest I would imagine.

[faldor]

From the rankings, "This I Love" is the easiest and Riad is the hardest.

I had a riot playing drums on Riad and Scraped last night.

It's awesome getting to play the songs... though I've only played the guitar parts so far.  I have the drums and intend to try to that... I also want to attempt to sing... whenever I sing anything (not just GNR) I try to emulate Axl's voice, so I'm curious to see if Rock Band thinks I'm any good at it !

My advice is if you want to do well in Rock Band, do not try to emulate Axl for a couple of reasons.  First, attempting to emulate any singer in this game will automatically give you a lower score; it doesn't care if your screech matches Axl's, all that matters is that your pitch is the same.  Often when someone attempts to emulate another singer they stop singing how they naturally would and this can affect pitch.  If you've ever listened to Axl live you'll notice that even he can have problems singing in his style and from time to time results in pitch issues.  The second reason you're not going to score well is that for whatever reason, Rock Band has a hard time discerning vocals if you add a rasp like Axl.  Whenever I sing with a rasp in this game I'll notice the little arrow that identifies my pitch will flicker, as any raspy vocal has a harder time registering.  I don't know why this happens and is kind of annoying and disappointing.  I wonder if the mic that comes with Rock Band has anything to do with that.  If anyone has had this problem and found a way to resolve it I'd appreciate it.

Of course it's just a video game and having fun is more important.  But don't feel too bad if you're wailing away like Axl and you're not getting the scores you'd hope.

Cheers,

Andrew

I checked yesterday, and I believe it was up to #230 (of 530 something) of all-time most downloaded.

This list consists of both albums and songs, and since an whole album costs more, I think it's doing really well.

As far as I remember, the most popular songs are Chinese, Better, If The World and This I Love (my memory might not serve me right on those though).

reading gamers comments online almost convinced me that riad, twat, scraped were the most popular but... You never can rely on those opinions

Actually, Riad and TWAT was among the top downloaded GN'R tunes. I checked once more.

[rabia]

thank you very much for the info, Spirit. i would really appreciate it if you could update us on this on a weekly basis.

they rank albums and songs together on the same list? really confusing, i gotta say.

if people give the album a chance they can only be impressed by how phenomenol the guitar work is and of course axl's singing is in a league of its own.

[Voodoochild]

I love how more people are giving Riad it's credits. It's a kick ass song and it was really unfair how people judged it by a couple of shit ass bootlegs from 2002.

Hell, I remember people saying it sounded like techno (and it's one of the most straight foward rock songs in the album)!
