"We'd like to play for you our hit..."

[spatch]

I just came back from lediva's.

Where I played Rock Band.

Bass.

For like six or seven hours straight.

Our band's name was Pony Poni Poné. There's a story behind it, but lediva never got around to telling it to us.
My guy looked like David Tennant in Tom Baker's trenchcoat.
His name was Abbie Ramone but that was only because I named him before I discovered the trenchcoat.
Everywhere we went, the crowd kept demanding we play Are You Gonna Be My Girl and Paranoid. Apparently they really dug Jet and Sabbath, even after we stopped digging them. (Bands get really sick of playing the same songs over and over again for different crowds. I guess that was our single or something.)
But then we got to London and played Suffragette City and Don't Fear The Reaper.

Friends, this game is made of concentrated awesome.
I think I'm gonna pass out from all the rock star excess.




\m/ And to top off the rock, we watched This Is Spinal Tap afterwards. \m/

Having perused the track list of every Sabbath bootleg I've ever been in the same room with, I don't know if there was ever a show after that second album came out that they *didn't* do Paranoid...they really didn't change their set list much.

Oh you bastard. ._.

I don't get it until Christmas. :(

I know, dude. I already have blisters.

The song we're tired of is Say It Ain't So. Those bastards ask for it everywhere.

Our band is the Wizards of Wizzardz.

What are Chris G. and the gang up to these days?

I hope you watched _This_Is_Spinal_Tap_ with the commentary track. The commentary is a masterpiece in its own right. It in many ways, it rivals the original movie for entertainment value.

DL brought his copy over for Thanksgiving, and holy sweet merciful crapshite is it awesome. Babs and I are tempted to get it if we can prove we have people over often enough.

The thing about Rock Band, if I understand the concept correctly, is that it's by definition the sort of game one is happy to let one's friend buy, and still get to play it a lot. That's my strategy, anyway.

Our band's name was Pony Poni Poné.

That has cracked me up several times today.

would the story be related to the band Tony! Toni! Toné! perhaps?

I could not stop playing this at Best Buy yesterday.

I cannot WAIT for the PS2 version.
I am so buying this. Immediately.

That game is, indeed, pure awesome. Distilled.

On a side note: Did your friend (or anyone else who reads this that feels like commenting) have any issues with the hardware? I need to play around with my stuff a bit more, but both the drum kit (specifically the kick pedal) and the guitar are acting a bit odd.
