I like the Radio option too. |

What new band would U like to see us put in the new Guitar Hero game? What new instrument would most likely make you buy the new Rock Band game.? Heres a better question.....Does anyone want to collaborate on making some cool music this week? or something like... has midiman fallen off his rocker? |
