Ha! I forgot about Super Pickle.Maybe RB3 will give us a reason to have another RB tourney.
Ha! I forgot about Super Pickle.

Being the only remaining member of Mother Lovers, I would love to go on tour with Super Pickle. Although......I have my reservations since the other 3 members of ML disappeared during a tour of the Vlasic pickle factory. Some chalked it up to coincidence, I suspect foul play. Mayhaps another tourney may be in order soon though.
To answer the question though, while addicted, I only get the songs I like. I can't justify spending the money on songs that I really don't know all that well, even if they are highly rated songs.

The RB tourneys were definitely some of my best moments at GG, especially the first one. Not because the second wasn't just as fun, don't get me wrong. But I was a fairly new Geezer when the first tourney took place and I know that by the time it had finished, I felt completely at home. Great times!
Jeeps, you are always welcome on tour with Super Pickle! Wow..Super Pickle and Mother Lovers, together at last. That has to be ten levels of awesomeness. Seriously, I don't think I've played RB online in a while and I know it's been way too long since I've played with you guys.

Now, if they just would announce how much the Fender Squier is so I can anticipate how much I'm going to have to sell myself so I can get my first electric guitar.

From what I have read it is based on a $250 body, so it should definitely be more than that. It is my understanding that you will also need the $40 MIDI adapter to make it work with RB. We're probably looking at the best part of $400 all in...Now, if they just would announce how much the Fender Squier is so I can anticipate how much I'm going to have to sell myself so I can get my first electric guitar.

Awesome, thanks for the link Caged. Signed up, and I agree, I was thinking minimal $300 bucks, but we'll see I guess.

Hmm..I think the merger would be great! It has been too long since we all "jammed" together. Time to practice the drums.
On the DLC note, I think Hendrix will have to be a purchase.

Ok as many of my friends on here knows that I have a Rock Band DLC fetish...I was
wondering who else may have that same sickness.
Currently I have mostly everything from regular DLC, the RBN, and all imports as
well... with some exceptions.
Do you have an account at dlcquickplay.com?
