Since it's not in this thread yet, I figured I'd let you guys know that Rock Band releases on the Wii on June 22nd. I'm pre-ordering!!

Yeah guitar on RB is much easier than GH. I'm on expert in RB and still have I think 2 songs I can't complete on GH3 on hard (not sure how far I've gotten on expert). I do like that RB's guitar has the smaller fret buttons though, that does help me a lot... sometimes I wonder if I could use the RB guitar on GH3 if I could beat hard. =P
Anyways, I primarily play drums on RB, I average mid-90's on Hard and have difficulty with a couple things, but my biggest issue is drumrolls! I'm stuck on Don't Fear the Reaper (I have to practice the ending... I use all my star power on the drum roll sequences) and Run to the Hills kills me, I can only complete those songs when playing in a band that can keep me alive.
I love RB, it gets more gaming time when my friends are over than anything else and I've downloaded a fair number of songs too. I look forward to every Tuesday for new song releases!

I am desperate to get this game!
i have been a HUGE guitar hero fan since its release and am trudging myway through GH3 currently. Have also made numerous cameo appearences on a friends SingStar game. Being a musician these games are Ace for me!
Rockband looks like it will take it to the next level with the drums and the whole band online experience.
Im feeling faint im so excited!

I second the Don't Fear the Reaper drum roll...thats preventing my passing on expert.
The off beats to some songs get me too. |

|
Joystiq announces that MadCatz will be releasing Rock Band peripherals. I'd post the link to the actual article at rockbandmods.net but I get a 500 error, very interesting.
Also along the same vein, IGN has an article about Guitar Hero 4 with high-res images of the drums and guitar, oh my. Via Wii Fanboy.
Finally, on a sad note, I think my drums are on their way out  My yellow pad seems to just not register unless I hit it right in the middle, or if I'm slightly off the middle I have to hit it really hard. So I'm either concentrating on hitting the middle of the pad, or concentrating on getting more oomph (people always comment that I play them so quietly, so it doesn't come naturally to me to hit them hard) and it screws me up anyway. Needless to say, it's extremely frustrating. But I'm getting more guitar practice now, it's been awhile.

the madcatz drums look AWESOME!! The only downside is that they're $150  ...so as awesome as they look I may have to pass on them.
The guitar for Gh4 looks amazing!! I seriously cannot wait for this game to come out... the touch button frets are a very very cool addition to the guitar I look forward to messing around with it! November can't come fast enough!
That sucks about your drum kit :/, I think my yellow pad is busted too, it keeps dropping random notes when I hit it :\ *le sigh* I guess RttH will never be beaten until I can get another set.
Thanks for all the cool articles though! I've been dying to see what the Gh4 guitar looks like, great find

Yeah the premium drums are totally expensive, could buy like a whole RB set for that. But they would definitely be fun to try. I don't think there's a picture of the cheaper smaller set for $50 though. Btw the site's finally up, I can't believe they don't have higher res photos, what a rip off.
Is it bad if part of my brain thinks a broken drum set = excuse to buy GH4 or a 3rd party set in the interim? lol. I could give away my 2nd hand set and I'm sure it'd make someone happy.
GH4's guitar looks a lot nicer, and it should be easier to activate star power, but the bigger size isn't a selling point for me cause I'm pretty small (5'2). No doubt the touch sensitive strip is intriguing... wonder how hammer-ons and pull-offs will be on that.

haha it's not bad at all, in fact since my drums seem to be going out it all but solidified me buying the whole GH4 bundle for sure instead of just the guitar and game bundle . The thought of buying the Madcatz drum set instead of GH4 crossed my mind aswell but I think i'll have more fun with the new GH4 game. Hopefully the pedal on the GH4 drum set is made better than the rock band one.
Thats a good question about the HO and PO's, hopefully you'll be able to do them on the main frets too because I sucked at using the solo buttons on the Strat (for the limited time I used it) i'm much more used to doing them on the main buttons .
