How similar is the interface between the two?

The guitar and bass play the same on Rock Band as on GH (save that I think GH III is a little harder). The 360 GH guitar even works on Rock Band, but Activision blocks the Rock Band guitar from working on GH. Harmonix, the maker of Rock Band, was the developer of GH (before selling it to activision) so there's little difference.

The drums are revolutionary.

The Mic works the same as Sing Star for playstation 2, if you've ever played that.

Use your rebate check and get a decent acoustic for a couple bills, a tuner, some picks, strings and a couple method books or issues of Guitar World that have Joe Satriani and/or Eric Johnson on the cover.

P.S. And after you can play by ear about 80% of what you hear on the radio, THEN maybe you can dick around on "Guitar Hero" for fifteen minutes. But FIFTEEN MINUTES ONLY! Then it's back to practicing scales!

P.P.S. Plus, your Valentine's Day won't be loveless anymore if you learn to play the guitar.

P.P.P.S. Speaking of 'loveless'…do you really think Kevin Shields is wasting any of his time in the run-up to the MBV reunion playing "Guitar Hero" or "Rock Band"?

No. It's because you're a drummer.

speaking of south park, timmy and the lords of the underworld is a bonus song on rock band

to quote vansmack- who would have thought that "timmy" would be the hardest song on rock band.

Try it with more horse tranq's.

And yes, I would require every woman to say "this one's for you daddy" before we play Landslide…
