'Real' keyboard, guitars debut in Rock Band 3

Man Zeppelin would be awesome, if only they would give up their rights (even getting some of their songs into movies is a hard thing to do I heard.)

I can probably guarantee there's gonna be some Freezepop in there at some point. Haha!

Them Crooked Vultures!

November Rain G'nR....????

Led zeppelin or pink floyd yes!! also the doors

Ohhh how I want to see some Led zeppelin or pink floyd in Rock band =(

Ok keyboard added now...PUT LOCOMOTIVE BREATH IN THE GAME!

Meh... I've kinda been done with music games since 2008.

And just how much is all this going to cost...?

MAN!!! When is Rockband gonna include some hardcore...August Burns Red, The Devil Wears Prada, IWrestledABearOnce, Haste The Day...some of the best rock out there full of so much sick guitarists, and drummers...wth! = /

this is going to be the best rock band ever actually learning the real instruments in action. yay congrats to the evolution of music games

Learning to play real instruments is pretty awesome, if it works.

@riosteven Well, you be able to import the tracks from Rockband 1, 2, Green Day, plus all of the DLC; so, there should be no lack of tracks for you.

uh not gonna lie so far im only seeing 3 songs on this i like if i dont see anymore than at least 30 i like im not getting this, guitar hero wins this round tho keyboard is a good idea the setlist fails

the keyboard controller is just one of those things that I'll never ever understand why anyone would ever buy it... but clearly people will

I Think the price of those Instruments will be Ultra Expensive

it definitely looks interesting..but how much is it going to cost for my interest?

If they are going to include a "Pro Mode," I hope somewhere in the game they teach proper playing technique so that we don't end up with a bunch of kids with sore wrists.

Because a 25 key keyboard is totally a real instrument. :roll: Well, they're at it, lets add a one stringed guitar, a poorly tightened drum, and a trumpet mouthpiece.

In the end, it's much better to play real instruments in real life.

so does the pro guitar have strings or just more buttons?

has rock band already decided to die? i don't think many people will like the idea of a 'real' guitar or a 25-key keyboard. i sure don't.

They finally put Bohemian Rhapsody in. Jeez. But I won't buy this just for the one song. Especially with how expensive this is going to be.

@rav44 the keyboard is $50 and the 102 button guitar is $150

*sigh* The Bemani games introduced the idea of playing along to music to the masses in Japan. The West then gets a hold of it and turns it into a massive fad and thinks that playing a game will help people learn how to play "real" instruments... you want to know what? I think people should be more willing to put money into real instruments and real music lessons if they want to learn how to play REAL instruments, and not a game with plastic peripherals that require software to make music for them. Hell, a real guitar and keyboard would probably cost much less than what this is going to cost, not even including the cost of a 360/PS3/Wii.

wonder how much it will cost this time, eh?

@Jag-T1000 Not only that, those kind of songs shouldn't be included in this game that dares to put "ROCK" on its name... a real shame indeed... i only liked like 2 or 3 songs from the list...

BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY! I would now buy this game even if it had no other songs.

@zatetzu They are running out of songs, they are starting to put spanish songs.

JUANES... lol! i really hope that is the only song of... that included and you can turn it off... really... JUANES!

I'll just stick to my real Guitar and Bass.

If I can use it to teach my daughter how to play the piano a bit I am in! (The price will be like a gazzillion for a 15 dollar barbie Keyboard.... :( ....)

But will the guitar be functional as an instrument when plugged into an amp, or even a computer? seems like it should be, given how complicated they must have to be already. That would be a cool thing to have, like it functions as a guitar but can be given different voices like a keyboard.

I feel like a jerk saying it, but I really don't care about the Rock Band games anymore. They're seen their time in the spotlight, and they don't really change all that much. Only fun when completely wasted and hanging with friends. Even then, I still only play Rock Band every 6 months or so.

@Alizerothree: When hasn't GH been playing catch up with Rock Band? lol.

25 keys, geesh that hardly 2 octaves worth of keys, nothing compared to a piano. But I like the thinking. If this could actually teach you to play a Real guitar/piano instrument I think they really bridge into a fantastic realm.

give me a real bass controller and I'm in.

GH has some catching up to do.

boring

Some nice songs there, I expected a piano periphiral to come eventually and I hope Guitar Hero 6 includeds turntable support.

When are they going to throw in the COWBELL!!

Maybe RB is giving GH a taste of their own medicine 'cause before RB2 announced its setlist first before GHWT & 10% of each game's setlist have the same songs.

Why do all the Rock Band/Guitar Hero games have a habit of taking the worst songs from great bands and putting them on their track listings? Jesus. Lassos by Phoenix? Really? Portions of Foxes by Rilo Kiley? Really? ....Wow.

with this new keyboard maybe they will have MUSE!!!!!!

kingfire11 Nobody said that Rock Band 3 is suddenly going to make musically talented people. I would know, I have been learning, playing, and composing for piano for over 15 years now and I am still refining my playing style. It is just a way for people to get a basic grasp of music, sorta like joining your elementary school band, trying out new instruments. It wouldn't be fair denying people the chance to play music.

"We saw a kind of staleness in terms of gameplay innovation." No you're kidding me, really?

I don't know how many more instruments I can fit in my living room lol

I hope the rest of the tracks are better.

OMG FINALLY THE CURE
