The latest issue of GameInformer is starting to arrive in mail boxes across the country, and thanks to the fine peeps at ScoreHero, scans of the 8 page Rock Band 2 blow out have been made available. While some of the information has been known for awhile, there are still some golden nuggets of info to be found. Read More…
It appears that the first 3rd party instruments for Rock Band are going to be available for purchase starting next week (June 22nd). Mad Catz was given the official stamp of approval from Harmonix to become the officially licensed 3rd party manufacturer of instrument controllers for Rock Band, and it looks like their wired Bass controller for the Xbox 360 is the first out of the gate.
[EDIT] The product links have been removed from Amazon, but we’ve still got all the details here.

It appears that individual Rock Band instuments are starting to hit retail shelves across the country. However, PS3 owners may still feel a little shafted as only the individual drum sets are available and the standalone stratocasters are still a ways away. Retailing for the
paltry substantial amount of $79.99, you can now add drums to your Rock Band repertoire if you purchased the game individually. Read More…
The Foam and Felt drum silencing mod is one of the first mods created in order to help dampen the “clacking” noise that the stock Rock Band drum pads create when played. This mod is also one of the easiest to create and least expensive to implement.
As many Rock Band drum mods are particular to certain model lines or pedal versions, this guide serves as a reference to identify which pads or pedal you may have, as well as compare their differences.
All versions have their own advantages and disadvantages, and your play style will determine which set works best for you. Read More…
