Silly MrD! Clicks are for kids! You want to just tap the side of the bongos. Yes, as simple as that. Just give 'em a little pat. |

How's that supposed to put the other players off? I can't think of a way to work a polite tap into a grandiose gesture either. :( |

You use your cock to do the tapping. |

MrD wrote: How do you trigger the clap? I find clapping hurts and I react too slow for a fast song, so I click my fingers instead. As others have noted it's much easier to tap the side of the bongos. Actually I play with the pair of bongos cradled under my left arm, play both left and right notes with my right hand (using the thumb and little finger), and rapping on the bongo with my left hand for the clap.

Wowza. I guess I must be the only person who plays it while kneeling hunched over the bongos, waving my hands around the place and clicking like some demented sorceror throwing ingredients into a cauldron or casting spells at fools. |

I play on the floor, crosslegged with the bongos held in my crossed legs. I tap the side of the bongos to clap, also (I can't click my fingers...) |

Squeezed between my knees. And I always clap because that's the most fun. Also - every time I'll see any of you online playing Rock Band then I'll die a little inside, you lucky fucks. |

I wish there were a few more female-vocalled songs, though, as I know from Singstar that I find them the easiest to get the top ranking on. |

Well, I have been charged by play.com so I guess that's it now. I have invited my sister over for a bit of a rock-a-thon at the weekend if it all arrives as she plays guitar hero every day. |

| Post subject: | Re: Rock Band |
Yup. Both orders stood at 'pre-ordered' for ages, then the instruments went to 'order placed' before 'processing' the next day. Once it changes to 'order placed' I think it mean that the process is underway. They probably want to get a head start on packaging up all those big boxes. |

Just two, just two! Although, saying that, I think delivery on the instruments says 3-5 days (if you bought from Play.com), which, if posted yesterday, could mean them coming after the (extended bank Holiday) weekend, so you just have to hope that they come on Friday or Saturday. |

I will make you a guitar out of a biscuit tin and a broom... I think it all comes down to the drums. If you can live without the drums and have a 360 guitar for Guitar Hero III and a headset* or alternative usb mic** then it will only set you back the £40 for the game itself, but can you live without the drums? Can you?! See, I think part of hoping to get it much cheaper is that I don't think that the Guitar Hero games lose much of their value when up for re-sale in pre-owned sections of shops - they are usually £60-65 anyway, which makes me wonder if this will depreciate in value to a level that you want and I think that scarcity might knock the prices up further for a while. *So I am led to believe by reading this thread ** Again

I've got rock band ("imported" - Ed) on my PS2 so I can play the guitar stuff on that and have done. I ONLY WANT THE DRUMS. The Guitar Hero games certainly don't seem to have lost any value so maybe Rock Band won't. I'm still not going to buy it unless I can manage to get the lot for £120 or less. I'll happily do without it until I can. |

One is, to my mind, the best track in GH3. The DLC I'm most excited about for Rock Band is the Oasis pack though -- I don't particularly like Oasis, but those tracks are such well-known anthems that I think they'll go down a storm at parties. |

I've noticed that a few times now - people keep posting 'look at this' and there is a blank space underneath - is it supposed to be a Youtube video in that spot, Nirejhenge? Neither of my browsers seem to be able to fathom it on either computer. |

Yes it is meant to be a youtube video. I'm sure I've used the right formatting here but it doesn't show on mine either.. Sorted now. Has someone changed the way the youtube link works? I used the full http.. link but it seems you should just put the video number in which IS WRONG AND TIME CONSUMING. Can someone change it to be the full url instead? That way you can just happily cut and paste the URL. |
