For some reason, I never really got into this game, but seeing that the metallica pack has ride the lightning just sparked my interest. Im going to get everything that it comes with minus the drums. My friends have the drums so if I have to , ill borrow if from them. About 3 of my friends have the drums too, but most have had to get a replacement pedal(which they say gets annoying). Also, I tryed it at a circuit city and I have to say im not a huge fan of the drums. So im just getting the game. I already have 2 guitar hero guitars I can use for the guitar/bass and i dont realyl like the feel of the strat anyway. And as for the mic, I will just use my 360 headset. So pretty much im good. Im getting the game probably by this saturday, so anyone who has this game, please give me some feedback on it, like if you like/how much, how the songs are etc. I will play with/against you sometime, But im going to have to get used to those rectangle notes for a bit. =P
