My kids got Rock Band for Christmas from their grandparents and normally I don't have any interest in their games but this is sooo fun! I'm quite the drummer!

I told my kids I'm going to put wrist weights on and tone up my arms at the same time LOLOL

Fun! I've never played, but I would LOVE to!

So, just exactly who was the gift for?

You know you want to play it after they're in bed!

Hahaha Mike has been playing Rock band 2 for 5 days now (and he is 62!!) I need to practice on the drums

Yeah, baby! My friend and I (we're 37) played with our kids for several hours the other night. They have had Rock Band but got Rock Band 2 for Christmas. I suck at the drums but I can play the guitar pretty good. That comes from playing Guitar Hero with the kids. It's funny.... you think you don't want to play but then they get started with you watching and you get hooked into it and don't want to stop!

I took dinner over to my daughter and her family because the youngest one was sick and they could not come over to our New Years Party. OK, she does have strep, I understand that..but when I arrived DD and SIL were playing the Rock Band that we bought for the kiddies for Christmas. The kids were crabby because mom and dad had been playing for hours and they wanted to play their game. I dropped the food off and ran for home, so happy that they did not come over WITH Rock Band.

I looooove Rockband! I play it with my son when he lets me. We got it last spring. For Christmas he got a couple of the guitar hero games that you can use the Rockbnd intruments on. I like some of the songs on there.

The funniest thing is when kids are playing a classic Aerosmith song or something and the parents come in and start singing along, and the kids are in awe, "Mom, you know that song?"

By the way, how do your Yorkies do around RockBand?
I have invited a crowd over for a SingStar party, and am curious to see how London reacts.

Oh yes, that is so funny about the new generation singing these songs! It cracks me up when I hear my 7 year old singing Bon Jovi songs under his breath while he's working on his homework! LOL

My dogs didn't quite know what to think and when we first get started they usually bark a little but I just tell them to stop or get in their beds and they settle right down.

Ha ha ha! We got dance dance too! But I'm too self conscious to do it in front of my kids! They will totally make fun of me! LOL My husband on the other hand...I'm going to get the video camera out and win some money on america's funniest home videos from a show on his performance

Oh that's neat! We just found out that you can't download songs on the wii version of rockband, which is what we have

chloesMama · 01-02-2009, 09:19 PM

We ordered the new RB2 for wii and are suppose to pick it up tomorrow. My boys like RB , but I have never played it. I do the guitar hero , so I will give this a try sometime too .

It is funny to see them introduce me to the music I grew up listening too

They seem amazed we had anything cool sooo long ago
