Rock Band achievements reveal what you'll be doing for the next six months photo

When I picked up an Xbox 360 at launch, I was giddy over the idea of achievement points. I even vowed that I would not stop playing a game until I had completed all of the achievement tasks; this quickly went to hell when I finished Condemned, and had no desire to go back and find a handful of dead birds. In fact, the only games I have all of the achievement points in are Xbox Live Arcade titles.

I'm so not hardcore.

Rock Band, on the other hand, I may actually try to see this through to the end. With challenges like "Flawless Groove: Score 100% notes hit as bassist, up-strums only, on Expert" (worth only 10 points), I may be at it for awhile. But for $169.99, you can bet your sweet a** I'm not going to be doing anything but playing this game until my hands, throat, and ears bleed. 

Hit the jump for the full list of achievements, but be warned -- some may be considered "spoilers."

I'm fairly convinced anyone saying Guitar Hero is better is stuck on the fact that they already bought GH2 and therefore have the guitar already and just don't have the money to drop on Rock Band. You can't honestly say GH3 will be better, you can't do. It loses it's developer, basically same gameplay, and Rockband takes GH adds 3 other instruments (Well 2 if you really are going to count that GH2 has a bass). GH3 has a bigger set list? Well announced so far yes, but they damn well better be at least shouting at the top of the lungs a lengthy set list at this point or its bad news. Also, keyword announced. Rock Band certainly has many more songs yet to be announced, while I'd be shocked to see GH3's list go much higher than the 60 something it already is at, just wont fit. Plus Rock Band is already promising many downloads including full albums of Who's Next and Nevermind. So I guess if you're counting songs...

so for backflip, and every other GH3 tardfish out there,

now thats not to say I wont buy both.

Anyone have an idea what "platinum artist" will be? Maybe some sort of leader board rank?
And my job performance will be slipping... so will my drinking time

Doesn't look too bad. They're certainly possible if you spend enough time.

My assumption is that "Platinum Artist" is someone who has unlocked the "Platinum Artist" achievement.
