I do not avoid women, GAF, but I do deny them my essence.
I've got a guy local to me here and my sisters at home for when I'm out of college for summer that can sing hard/expert. So if it comes down to it we have an option. I don't know if Ouch or his friend can.captscience said:

If this is true, then perhaps we could send Ouch and his friend to the PS3 band that's down a member right now. They'd have to give you one of theirs, but it would even things out:BobsRevenge said:

I knew about Wave of Mutilation, but wasn't sure about the other stuff. Our bands don't have any coinciding DLC anyways this round, so it doesn't really matter.plaidtopia

As there seems to be some confusion, to clarify:
-------
Assume Band A is playing against Band B:
1) Both must play "Wave of Mutilation."
2) Both bands then select one song that both bands share. This can be DLC or on the retail disc, but it must be from the tiers 1-2. Both bands play both songs.
For example, Band A and Band B share "My Iron Lung." Band A likes the song and can do well at it, so they choose it as their wildcard song. Band B must also play it.
Band B likes and can rock "Say It Ain't So," so they choose it as their wildcard song. Band A must also play it.
3) Both bands will therefore play three songs: "Wave of Mutilation," "My Iron Lung" and "Say It Ain't So."
4) If Band A or Band B can't communicate song choices, they default to instead playing the reserve songs. In this case, they'd both still play three songs: "Wave of Mutilation," "29 Fingers" and "Gimme Shelter."

That make more sense?

Check the OP for rules and get in touch with your bandmates, ASAP!
Unnamed PS3 band#2 is running into problems when connecting to a game. It seems as though only ONE Brit can connect to our American member. If two Brits try start a game, it simply doesn't work
(eg USA host, UK 1 can joing, UK 2 unable to join, unless UK 1 leaves. or UK 1 hosts, UK 2 unable to join at all)
I've tried creating a USA PSN but this didn't solve our problem. not sure what the other members wanna do now..

You are all playing with different instruments, right? If two drummers try to join, for instance, only one can get in.
Concerning PS3 Band #2(Tentative Name: The Acid Drops)
Anyways...CaptainFlimFlam, Akira-UK and myself Cyclonus(PSN Names) the other dude was a no show(Alpha_eX_US).
We all tried to connect to each other but we could never get all three of us together. Only 2 of us ever could connect. I'm here in Canada and Akira and Capt are both in the UK. We are going to try today again, but if worse comes to worse we might have to pull out. Unless of course those guys wanna try and find some other dudes to connect with in the UK. I'm willing to give up my spot to someone else if it means they can get a full band connected.
We'll see

I'll probably be on/off tonight but I'm studying for an exam so I probably won't be able to talk or play in long stretches. Tomorrow I should be available anytime after 5 and I probably won't be available wed and thursday (I might be available). If I remember I'll add you guys tonight or tomorrow.
It seems like we are going to need another player...

Souther said:
the strange thing is souther I can't connect to any of our UK band members (if they or I start a session) but I can connect to you and even have random people join (for our two songs last night).
I have another UK based mate and I'm going to try to see if he can join a game with me. but to be honest your the only one we can seem to connect too so it'll be ashame to loose you and your drumming skills
anyone else experienced this "lost session" issue? My router is a speedtouch ST780 I'm running zonealarm and I have a static IP for the PS3 (running on NAT 2).Just here to show my support for an ex-bandmate:
Woooo go radjago and the rest of Intense Flavor! Woooo.
No, seriously, you have an awesome bass player there.
I would have tried to join up, but I really want to play drums this time around and I'm still waiting on my new pedal.
Speaking of which, what are the rules this time around for bands who have a member drop out? Can they get a substitue, or are they forced to play as a three-man band?

yep we're all playing with different instruments. the drummer, Singer and Guitarist have all tried to start a session and only got 1 other person in as long as it was a US player/UK player combo.

I just sent him a PM, too. We'll see if he's out or not.Coop said:
If that happens, we'll try to hook you up with a new GAFer ASAP, or you could always find a local player. Just like last time, there's likely more than just one person in this competition who's not going to show up/respond to bandmates' PM, so it's also possible that we will have to consolidate a band or two going into next week.
Bands with AWOL members are more than welcome to find substitutes. Lemme know when you wanna join in and we'll see if we can fit you somewhere ...BreakyBoy said:
As for Unnamed PS3 band #2 (dear god, we need actual band names): Check that your NAT setting on all your routers are set to open and keep me posted.
EDIT: Oh, and Saerk: Three of us are on right now if you're around.

Hey Capt. I'll try as many times as you want to see if we can get this sorted out. But if worse comes to worse I'm fine with just hooking up with you/akira-UK/or Alpha_eX and just playing with 2 random people. All i care about is just being able to play.
Alpha_eX said:
Sure. We can try again tomorrow no prob. I'll fire up rockband at around 4-5ish and check and see if you guys are on.
Yep it seems that even if i start the band and then get capt and or akira to join...whenever i send out that other invite we just can't get that 3rd dude...we have to settle for doing a random search.
I sent out for a replacement pedal. I'm going to look into doing one of those pedal mods. I've seen two relatively cheap ones. One with screws and one with some really strong adhesive. I play in my socks or sometimes barefoot, so my question is, do the screws get in the way enough where playing without shoes would be uncomfortable?

I mourn the death of my pedal
http://i28.tinypic.com/2gtnucn.jpg
Guess I'm playing bass this week for sure. Happened during an amazing run of "Can't Let Go" I def cant let go, come back to me pedal
Maybe I'll do that knife fix I saw someone do......
You should definitely do the butter knife fix.
Shoot, I didn't see this until today. My local friend (trying to get his GAF account pushed through) and I would like to join. We'd need two people willing to coordinate with us and get our songs played by the deadline. I can play expert guitar/bass and almost everything on expert drums. He can play expert drums and a mix of hard/expert guitar/bass and vocals.

I've added your band to the roster, but two notes:Trav said:
1) Because this is a head-to-head competition and we now have an odd number of bands, your band will be playing against the average. In other words, just play the three songs that I chose this week and, if you beat the overall average score from all bands on those songs, you'll get your first win.
2) There don't appear to be any band-less GAFers at the moment, so until someone defects or new people join in, you're an incomplete band. Feel free to gather more people to your local console, though.
Got a band name?

Added to the OP, then. What are you playing (just so GAF knows what instrument you're looking for)?Dekelia said:
