Awesome review! :D Right before I saw this I was singing "The power of love" to myself .It looks like a great game-I didn't even think about getting it because I thought it only plays with the real instruments,but after watching the review I might reconsider...
Man I didn't know the name of this channel changed and on top of that this is my favorite video of all time because hearing Derek rainbow in the dark amazing. I know there has to be a full video of this somewhere of the performance can you please upload at Mark please for old-time sakes and I don't know what happened to Derek I hope he's still alive and well
I remember playing Rock Band after school back in high school. Those were some of the best gaming sessions ever! +1 on the Power of Love. I need to watch Back to the Future again...
@GTAsouthparkfan : at 2:09 , it is Rainbow in the Dark, by the great Dio. Ronnie James Dio was the singer in Black Sabbath, and had a solo carreer (Rainbow in the Dark or Holy Diver are amazing songs). He died in May of this year from cancer.
@thedecaycafe: Yeah, Inecom, LLC. decided to rent a storage unit after splitting off from its former parent company, Algor, Inc., when it was purchased by Autodesk, Inc.
I have like 320 songs from mostly older games since ive only bought like 10 dlc songs... And id die wthout pro drums, they make it a million times more fun so thank god for exporting from old rbs
So what happened to Thunder Farse III that made them break up? Was there an argument about who should be front man? Or perhaps a deceased band member? All this and more when Behind the Music on Vh1 continues...
Hey do u guys still play this game? If so are ya lookin for or need another jammer? I'm very good at singin anythin! And I get anywhere between 90 to 100%
Rock on, Derek! Anyway, Mark kicked everybodys ass with tha The Cure song XD Anyway, this game seems sooooooooo awesome and soooooo expensive XD! but I kinda want it cuz I'm a musician
@thoraxtheimpaler09 Noo, i know that, i mean all the songs i downloaded from the Xbox Live Market Place? Will have to get them again or do they count as *the old songs from RB2"
My game system that I have most of my rock band games on is BROKEN! But I still have my wii with rock band, rock band 2, rock band 3, LEGO rock band, GH4, GH5, and band hero and all I have is a microphone controller and a drum controller with missing drumsticks and a missing foot pedal. I actually had to make home made drumsticks. I NEED AUTO KICK FOR ROCK BAND 1-3!
This series needs to feature classic Styx songs from the DeYoung/Young/Shaw/Panozzo/Panozzo period (1975-1984). Stuff like "Miss America," "Blue Collar Man (Long Nights)," "Eddie," "Too Much Time on My Hands" and "Heavy Metal Poisoning."
@KpopFan20 Yes rock band instruments can play guitar here, but not the other way around exept for one of the newer ghitar heros. The RB guitar has an extra set of buttons.
Real instruments? That is incredible that they designed such devices. Now we can be good at real instruments AND be good at Rock Band. I am very happy they added the keyboard. SUCH AN UNDERRATED INSTRUMENT in bands and should be used more! For these games, I think keyboards and drums can't really change much, considering drums were done fairly realistically from the start (just add some cymbols, and you got the full set), and keyboards need at least 2-3 octaves for some decent gameplay.
I'll miss these reviews, they made my day everytime I came back from school
Late I know bit I'm in the same boat as you. only after finding one of the videos in my recommend is when I like a kid again
This exactly. From 2008 - 2013 i would watch CGR every weekday after high school. Even when he reviewed a donkey kong chiquita banana. Good times
Same
hearing derek belt out rainbow in the dark fucking made my week
Rare footage of Derek and Mark rocking out in a video
Jamming out in a storage unit? Noiice.
love this trailer i wanna share it with other rockers lol:) thank you :) you guys rocks lol :)
Awesome review! :D
Right before I saw this I was singing "The power of love" to myself .It looks like a great game-I didn't even think about getting it because I thought it only plays with the real instruments,but after watching the review I might reconsider...
lol Derek is awesome
My Dad’s friend would come over and play this game a lot. My dad would be on the guitar and my dad’s friend was the drummer.
Man you guys always manage to crack me up lol. Love the review!
He should seriously join a band. I'd buy all their albums. :)
Great review. I'd like to see more of you guys playing party games with banter.
just watching you guys play the game made my week
Man I didn't know the name of this channel changed and on top of that this is my favorite video of all time because hearing Derek rainbow in the dark amazing. I know there has to be a full video of this somewhere of the performance can you please upload at Mark please for old-time sakes and I don't know what happened to Derek I hope he's still alive and well
"When you earn a trophy sony buys you a beer." Subbed
Rocking it out in the secret underwater base- another epic review cgr!
Mark singing death metal to the cure makes me laugh every fucking time
I am addicted to Classic Game Room Videos!!!!!!!!
Singing death metal to The Cure is still passable on easy xD
If anyone sings to the Cure in a glam metal style would that also be cool?
When are you guys going on tour?
where is your underwater layer?? looks like a storage shed :) excellent review
Greatest review yet. Is it wrong for me to start singing along to Huey Lewis and the New's "The Power of Love"?
This is probably the best review ever.
I only have the drums for this game,
and im a guitarist.
Should i buy the guitar aswell?
Cause i allready know how to play.
I remember playing Rock Band after school back in high school. Those were some of the best gaming sessions ever!
+1 on the Power of Love. I need to watch Back to the Future again...
you guys thrashed just like heaven! :D
Classic Game Room deserves an Emmy Award!!!!!
Man your friends are hardcore :P
i'm not a fan of music games but the review is really cool thumbs up!
You and Derek make quite the rock band duo! Hilarious!!
Good review, but I'd like to have seen one of the big additions to RB3.. the keyboard or Rock Band Pro mode.
this is how an awesome game is reviewed. good job, and awesome performance.
nice ac/dc t-shirt at 4:53=D
It looks good, and good review=) Its a shame you couldn't have did the pro instruments.
@GTAsouthparkfan : at 2:09 , it is Rainbow in the Dark, by the great Dio.
Ronnie James Dio was the singer in Black Sabbath, and had a solo carreer (Rainbow in the Dark or Holy Diver are amazing songs). He died in May of this year from cancer.
What song were they singing at 1:34? It "sounded" like hey jude but i couldn't tell through the tone deafness.
What was the first song we heard after the intro of the CGR Logo???
Will you do a second mini review with the "real" guitars, even if you suck at it? Seems to be the only point to update.
Great review as always.
Cheers
so awesome to see derek being really into it :d
Can you buy a bundle for Rock Band 3 that has the normal guitar instead of the Professional one?
Huey Lewis and the News?! THAT'S AWESOME!!! And i also heard whip it. The music is definetly varied.
@thedecaycafe: Yeah, Inecom, LLC. decided to rent a storage unit after splitting off from its former parent company, Algor, Inc., when it was purchased by Autodesk, Inc.
@Strongwoods could you sing the Bangles?
I have like 320 songs from mostly older games since ive only bought like 10 dlc songs... And id die wthout pro drums, they make it a million times more fun so thank god for exporting from old rbs
The CGR base doesn't look very water tight...
Be careful down there.
More Anthrax? Why didn't we see it before?
What good are groupies if you have to pay for them?
How much does is cost to download new tracks?
Wonder what Dereks doin nowadays..
Wait, do you have to use the official Rock Band keyboard or is there anything you can buy to use a real keyboard with it?
Awesome review
Wow, so that's what Derek's high-pitched voice is for.
I have two things in common with him, once I am a heavy metal singer and I love Nintendo, haha.
Derrek and Mark... what a great team👍
You guys are.. awesome!
So what happened to Thunder Farse III that made them break up? Was there an argument about who should be front man? Or perhaps a deceased band member? All this and more when Behind the Music on Vh1 continues...
they broke up because mark kept killing derek
Are you guys playing in a storage unit?
Love this game. It has my favorite songs.
wait, i downloaded every A7X song for rock band 2
Will then work for rock band 3
Will i have to buy then again or just download them again.
do the rock band 2 peripherals work for rock band 3?
is there a metal church music pack ? tell me
so if you use the midi addon you can use a regular guitar?
HOW did he get that undead nightmare poster???!!?!
AAre there any ACDC songs in this game?!?!?
wow the guy from CGR undertow LOOKS COMPLETELY different from when i saw him last... Thats the power of love i guess
I'm actually interested in the 80's pop like Huey Lewis and News... But for plastic peripheral rythm games, I'm getting my fix with DJ Hero 2.
Hey do u guys still play this game? If so are ya lookin for or need another jammer? I'm very good at singin anythin! And I get anywhere between 90 to 100%
Nice dance moves there!

ANTHRAX IS AMAZING!

@pobbart13 Why would Weird Al play a flute?!? You probably meant the accordion.
5:56 now i know where that bud lite came from after beating GOW3
There is so much awesome in that room

Anyway, Mark kicked everybodys ass with tha The Cure song XD
Anyway, this game seems sooooooooo awesome and soooooo expensive XD! but I kinda want it cuz I'm a musician
Funny stuff, awesome review.
@thoraxtheimpaler09

ROCK ON CGR ROCK ON !!!
@ThrashMetalForces Yeah a game where the notes are traveeling down the screen at a certain tempo how are you meant to read tab or notation.
Awesome review ^_^

@KpopFan20 Yes rock band instruments can play guitar here, but not the other way around exept for one of the newer ghitar heros. The RB guitar has an extra set of buttons.

Now that I've seen that Derek is a metalhead just like me, my perspective of his reviews have changed.

Real instruments? That is incredible that they designed such devices. Now we can be good at real instruments AND be good at Rock Band. I am very happy they added the keyboard.
