If these games mean that X% of kids are sat at home playing the game as opposed to forming shitty rock bands then I'm all for it.
That's true! The people who are actually serious about playing music will still play their instruments alongside their button-masher games, but the silly "LOL I KNOW 3 CHORDS IM GOING TO START A POP PUNK/INDIE/EMO GROUP" kids will just get completely distracted by the games so they won't miraculously become big (it's scary how many generic talentless "LOL 3 CHORDS" bands get big and well known) and we won't have to be exposed to their "music"
I guess there is a positive aspect to Guitar Hero afterall.
I like Heaven and Hell, Mob Rules, and the Ian Gillan Sabbath album Born Again. Only Sabbath I didn't care for was the later '80s stuff like Eternal Idol, and Headless Cross. I would like to see a Sabbath GH (or RB), but would like it to encompass the entire band history and not just one aspect of it.
We all start off in "shitty" rock bands before getting better at our instruments and moving on to better bands. Personally I'm all for kids joining shitty bands, since that's a right of passage basically.

With the beauty of Myspace, and thanks to cheaper recording software like Logic and ProTools, they can spread their music faster than ever. But, I think if Guitar Hero, or Rock Band inspires a kid to pick up an instrument, that's a good thing. If they stick with it, that's even better.
And it was AC/DC's preferences that stipulated it be both on-disc and a Walmart exclusive instead of DLC. This disc gets a lot of flak for not being something it was never intended to be.
Regardless of whether it could have been DLC or not, the AC/DC Live track pack kind of blows. The guitar charts are bad, and it's just not a whole lot of fun. Live tracks that have the 2 minute 'drum solo' (which isn't really much of a solo, just a constant beat) are obnoxious and do the game no good. Maybe if you have a really rocking party, and a four person band on a stage... with a really drunk crowd... otherwise not so much.
Probably would've been better if they had just let them use studio tracks, but they have some ridiculous "we're too good for compilations, even for a video game" logic going on so what can you do?
Back to the calibration thing... if nothing else, RB2 lets you autocalibrate from the guitar. Granted the guitar cost 70 bucks, and I ended up hating it compared to well, just about any GH guitar released ever... but it really nailed the calibration.

I didn't >: (
I'd buy this. And I'd like it to encompass the band's entire history, too. Although it would probably focus on the most popular eras (Ozzy era, and probably Dio era, too)
Is this only with the RB2 guitar? 'cuz I still use my RB1 instruments.
Yes, that's the RB2 one... there's a sensor on the guitar so it can determine calibration info.
