GAF's Battle of the Rock Band Bands: ENCORE EDITION
- Thread starter plaidtopia
- Start date
I think we're just going to go with Chekov's Towel for our band name. It was a random gen and it just stuck. Dekelia will probably play bass on expert or guitar depending on the song. We may have his wife do vocals for us if someone else doesn't appear here very shortly.
edit: beaten
edit 2: Just to clarify, you want us to play the required and reserved songs, right? Sorry we made the brackets uneven for ya.

Awesome. I promise you'll actually play a real band next week, too.
EDIT: And, yeah, play the three songs I provided, including the reserves. Unless another band suddenly joins, of course...
To everyone else: One more song is available for this week's competition. This week's DLC, "Simple Man" by Lynyrd Skynyrd, falls in tier 2, so use it if you please.

Ahhhhhh, I'm getting antsy now. My drum pedal isn't here yet (anyday now I think), but I'll join Trav's band. I can play hard/expert drums, expert bass, expert guitar, and hard/expert vocals.
I want to be the drummer, but that might not happen this week. I'll send out my request via PM.

Glad to have you back. You guys got a full band, now.BreakyBoy said:
It's a rule: The minute after I post this thread each time, a half dozen peripherals on GAF spontaneously break. Either that or GAFers get banned. Just ask BobFromPikeCreek -- he's now had both happen.LakeEarth said:
To my bandmates, since I can't send multiple pms:
Hey, guys! I had a chance to play with rotaryspirit earlier today for a little bit, good times. Anyhow, I just wanted to get an idea of what songs you guys were thinking of playing this week, and figure out a good time for everyone to play. I'm good tomorrow night after 5pm EST, possibly Friday night, and early afternoon Sunday. If anyone wants me to play bass, I'm fine with that. I would really like a shot at drums for one song, though, if that's possible.
Oh, also, I have zero low-tier content, although I might pick up the Weezer songs if you guys all want to play them. They're pretty fun.

I'll be playing all night (or fairly close to all night), send me an invite if you guys play.

I do not avoid women, GAF, but I do deny them my essence.
My bandmate Ouch is out. He's getting his shit taken away from him or something.

We don't seem to have terribly good luck in getting a band together.
Poor kid. Guess there are advantages to being an old bastard...

So we have to submit our score to you by the 21st right?

My fiance can. I am sure that she would sing on my profile if I ask her. She's not an expert, but she can pretty much sing all the songs on hard.Coop said:

That sucks, but ScrabbleBanshee has pretty excellent timing. He's on your band now.captscience said:

To my bandmates: So seeing as how we still haven't heard from The Acid Drops, you guys just wanna play the three default songs this weekend? I can play tonight for sure, also.

We've had technical troubles all getting into the same session (with no help from anyone here).
We're going to try again tonight. perhaps the firmware update has steathfixed something

I just meant in terms of shared DLC. But I'm also continuing to cross my fingers that your connection problems get sorted out ...
Finally got to play with Drakken and everything you guys said was right. He's a 4x machine. We gold starred every song (even harder songs like Working Man). Too bad we didn't have the full band going. But its a good sign to the future.
EDIT - this might a dumb question, but is there a headset jack on the drums? I noticed a hole at the bottom of the buttons but I don't think it'll fit in there.

Cool. Let's shoot for tomorrow night for sure, then. I'll be on pretty much from 4 pm PST onwards.onemic said:

Alright unnamed PS3 band #3, you guys ready to play sometime this weekend? I can get someone here to do vocal duties.

Oh goddammit. I had no idea what your schedule was like this week. I won't be able to get together after tomorrow. If you find a back-up singer feel free to boot me out, or submit the scores without me. Whichever. Sorry guys.
Its alright, I didn't know either. Can you schedule yourself free on Sunday, as that's good for everyone.Gatekeeper said:
By then I'll hopefully buy a new Les Paul.
Also name... is everyone okay with "Too Old For This Guano" as its the best suggesting I've received?
EDIT - though I did just think of a possible band name. "Drakken, Gatekeeper, Lonestar and LakeEarth Present : The Drakken, Gatekeeper, Lonestar and LakeEarth Experience, featuring..."

Possibly. Although my wife might kill me if I pack the 360 and take it with us to Vegas. So, no promises, and likely no.

Today. You could either find a back-up singer or just go for it without one or someone sings and plays.

Heh. That's good, because honestly, those are three songs that no matter how I try, I can't sing them in a way the game likes. Gimme Shelter is the only one I can get above a 90 on.

Shit. If anything, you'd think it'd be an issue with Souther's connection. I'm at a loss as to what to do with this.PirateSean said:
Assuming we have to split up the UK members, are there any PS3 bands that haven't yet played this week and are willing to take in a bandless UK player? You'll have to swap a member ...
Double shit. This means I'll have to change this week's required song from "Still Alive." Bummer.PirateSean said:
