It doesn't bother me either.

Sounds like crowd noise in the background. Probably someone in no fail mode not playing the other instruments. That would explain the crowd noise in the background.

I played several gigs last night. I got rave reviews (5 *'s)

Believe it or not, I'm still noticing things in some songs. For instance in "I.R.S." there are lead guitar parts that I hadn't noticed until playing the game. The same with "Sorry".

Like everyone else around here, I'm highly anticipating the individual tracks. That instrumental of "Shackler's Revenge" that's floating around shows how aggressive and raw the song is. In the album version alot of good parts are burried in the mix under the synth effects. I'm dying to hear these other songs stripped down.

In regards to getting the individual tracks. A simple way to do it would be to enable the no fail cheat. Then plug in the instruments that you don't want to hear and let the song play. Surely someone has a decent enough set up that they could rip the audio. The only drawback to that is that you would have the in game crowd noise.:(

I just picked up the WWE Encyclopedia. A must have for any fan. Very nice presentation and packed with all kinds of WWE history.

Not a 100% sure but, WTTJ was originally slated for the original RB but ended up in GH 3. I think it (the RB youtube video) was the same master that appeared in GH 3.
