"Rock Band all copping Guitar Hero's style"
What? Rock Band is made by the team that made Guitar Hero and Guitar Hero 2. After splitting ways, Activision/Red Octane had to license IP from Harmonix in order to have Neversoft (starting from scratch) to write Guitar Hero 3.
The brand name doesn't make the heritage. Rock Band is the true successor.
something tells me that that "all" was supposed to be a "while".
Finally an axe worth smashing into tiny pieces.

I actually got a similar one for Christmas. I thought it was pretty good for an 8 year old, but yeah - it was a piece of shit.
Guitarded?
Why is it that nobody can produce a guitar oriented game without the controller being a complete POS!!!!!
thats hilarious i was at a fleamarket down here in texas...and i caught it out of the corner of my eye at one of the stands....lol...they had them stacked $15 bucks a pop.
Hello All,
We wanted to drop in and let every one know about our new strummer solution for the Rock Band Guitars. We have tried to make it as Installation friendly as possible. No wires need to be cut. Currently it is compatible with Generation 1, 3, and 3.1 Strum Bar Hardware. But Generation 2 and 4 are not far behind. See our site OR email us for questions regarding compatibility. Generation 1 is the one which everyone has been returning the most. Our solution clicks big and loud just like the old guitars because it uses the same switches. We think those little click switches have proven their endurance. Plus we believe Rock Band should be cranked to the point where you just hear a faint click anyway
The Kit is very non invasive and can be un-installed just as easy. With this upgrade ALL mush goes out the door and the Strum Bar returns to center just as good as the old guitars. Please give us a look.
