In October of 2007, Rock Band hit rock bottom, crashing its car into a tree in an alcohol-soaked haze. It was then it knew it had to turn things around. On November 20, 2007, Harmonix introduced it to the world and changed everything.
When I saw that Harmonix had released an Untold Story of Rock Band video to celebrate the game’s fourth anniversary I was hoping for something a little more saucy. What I got was an interesting look at the development of the ultimate band game, from the “liberation” of Harmonix from Guitar Hero to the development of robotic goat legs, two great tastes that taste great together.
Happy fourth, Rock Band! I still play you when no one else is looking.

Wednesday, November 23, 2011 at 1:39 PMWhatever happened to Rock Band 3 in Australia? I was hyped for it to come out, but it seemed to get a very quiet release – and then the Pro instruments were nowhere to be seen?

i imported the keyboard from the us and got the strat from my local music store (after being told after a 3 month wait that they had been discontinued and no stock would be coming my way)
it still gets decent playtime. me and a couple mates have almost got 1000 songs on it when we combine our music downloads.
2xpro guitars, an ion drum kit, 3 mics (all with stands) and a keyboard and we will keep going all night once every couple of months
