Mine are at a buddies house, what a great game when it came out. Many drunken rock band parties at my house.
Same here.
I was floored when I saw someone was still "unofficially" keeping the party rockin'.

slayer on there, lots of pantera, no lamb of god.
itll do.

Some great tracks in there for sure. I'm just not sure I'd mess with all that when I could just as soon learn on the real thing. RB was definitely the spark that lit the music flame under my butt.

I really wanted to get my hands on the new wireless drum kit with separate symbols but they were gone by the time I got around to wanting to get one. People were selling them on the Amazon market place but for ridiculous amounts.
I ended up buying a real guitar and later fell in love with Rocksmith. I will fire up the old stuff once in a blue moon with the kids but that is about it. Maybe I will look into getting a new drum kit again just for the kids. My old wired one kind of sucks.

How's that going? I was always intrigued by Rocksmith, but honestly, it's hard to imagine going through the stereo when the Twin Reverb is sitting right over there.
Wow, I was just going to ask if any of you guys have played Rocksmith. Is it worth getting to learn how to play? I played for a few years but not hardcore and could never got good. Wanted to know if this game really helps with learning and not just a game.
Actually I really like it. It really distracts you from the monotony of starting to learn the guitar. It teaches repetition in a way that distracts you from worrying about making mistakes and thinking about it too much. Even if you have experience as a friend of mine does some of the modes allow you to work on your skills while making it fun.
If your a casual Rock Band type....this game is not for you. The only real complaint I have about it is how they show you the notes on screen. It's sometimes hard to see the notes especially when the pace picks up. Rock Bands presentation was better from that perspective. Hopefully they fix this with the next version but again....minor complaint.
Rocksmith...unlike Rockband does legitimately teach you some skills.
Hmm. Does it touch on any type of music theory?
Does it have a section for beginners, so I can get my kids to start learning, or is this game for some what decent players that just need that push? Like I said, I played ok years ago, but I would probably need to start all over again. Will this game help with that?
My brother has taught himself from scratch using Rocksmith; he loves it.

Didn't see these. 
There are some seriously good players that will put up videos on youtube as well, I'll typically take a look at them before deciding to buy a new downloadable song. They don't get bored with it either, so it really does do a good job of keeping players of all skill levels engaged.
The thing I like about it is the same as I feel with my acoustic, you just pick it up and play. It's nice to not have to fuss around with a bunch of equipment and settings when you just want to practice and have fun for a while, especially for those that aren't experts on such things.
Highly recommended, especially if you already have an electric guitar and necessary console/PC. It does a great job of teaching without making it seem like it's a chore (though it's still a guitar, you still have to put in the effort). Definitely not just a tutorial nor just a video game.
Not in an academic sense. It does have some lessons for beginners, along with teaching different playing techniques and chords so you aren't just mindlessly trying to mime what's on the screen, but it doesn't try to teach you the math principles behind music or anything.
The game automatically adjusts to your level of expertise, and moves itself up and down as you need it to when you're learning. Even for an absolute beginner it will start you off just playing a few notes on one string then progress upward as you get it. There's quite a few features that go along with it too, like for instance you can play split screen where the two players are at different difficulty levels.

Didn't see this one coming but here you go:
great songs
Man, I wish they would let me port this over to my XBOX ONE.
