Crazy Train is the Randy Rhodes version from Tribute... I heard a newer version the other day and it just wasn't the same. It was good but it just wasn't GOD-LIKE... same with the Mr Crowley track.

I think it's funny how they say that they are playable characters. You don't really play as them in the game. You just press the buttons that are shown on the screen.

Cuz I climbed into the RB band-wagon pretty solidly but you're correct... so far I'm way more impressed with GH WT than what I've seen from RB2

There is no way Neversoft can trump a company like Harmonix. It's going to be RB2 ftw.

My comment just went right over your head huh? You don't play AS a character in GH you play WITH a character. In GH all you do is hit the buttons that it tells you to. If it was an actual playable character then it would be something like in an action adventure game where you would be actually controlling the character.
