Another Rock Band!

How many bands can one band member be a part of? It's too early to say WHICH BAND IS BETTER, they both have strengths and weaknesses, but I'm thinking that we could have a battle of the bands and find out! Considering I'm in both of them, it's a win win situation for me, and it could probably be easily concluded by looking at the number of fans each band has. So far, I think each of the bands has a van and a tour bus. The A-Team had a van and the Partridge Family had a bus...didn't help either of them. Both bands have yet to unlock San Francisco as a venue...we need more fans for that, and more fans requires a higher difficulty.

Before I can host a battle of the bands...I need to get a new guitar. We rocked SO hard that we literally broke the Rock Band Guitar! Thankfully, the manufacturer actually believes in customer service (a rarity these days) and is sending me a new guitar 2-day air for FREE, so I should have it for the weekend. Phew...I started playing the drums last night and need a little practice. That, and I played bass on HARD for the first time...it was hard.

So get ready...it's going to be RTFM vs. The Drunken Cupcakes...none of the other band members know it yet (well, they do now if they've read this far), but we're knee deep in competition already! Anyone want to place a bet?

How do I respond when I have no clue what's been said? Like, Drunken Cupcakes is a totally retro name, but maybe "RTFM" means something to someone.

Whatever.

So, what is a battle of the bands? Like, I know in real life, but not the same thing.

GrouchyTrousers brings up a good point and I'll clear this up for anyone else that doesn't know what I'm talking about.

RTFM, in tech support terms means, "Read The F*cking Manual"...something most tech people don't do when they're trying to solve a problem. Since our band is made up of tech people, that's the name we chose for that particular band. Drunken Cukcakes has a story behind it too, but you didn't ask about that.

Battle of bands in a traditional sense is not much different than what I had in mind here. There's no feature in the game (as far as I could find so far) called Battle of the Bands, so in this case, it's exactly the same thing as the real life Battle of the Bands. Two bands play against each other for audience approval (even if the audience is virtual in the game)

Thanks for your comment and giving me the chance to clear it all up.
