GAF's Battle of the Rock Band Bands: ENCORE EDITION

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 :-p
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. :P

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.
 
JUST BEFORE we start the battle of the bands, my secondary x-plorer red button is on the fritz. Looks like I'm going to have to use the strat, which is less than optimal.

Sorry, I didn't read your PM until this morning. If you still need a bassist, then I'm in. I'm EST.
Hmm 3 guitarist :lol Can either you or greg sing? I would but I suck at it.

Glad to have you back. You guys got a full band, now.

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.
 
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.
 
Well, I'm still waiting on Trav to get back to me and tell me if the other two band members are OK with me joining. But, yeah it's good to be back in rotation at least.

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...

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.

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

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

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.

Yeah I can play tonight, probably later than earlier.

I'm Singer in the Acid Drops
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 :D
 
Ill be on probably after 6 pst, ill idle if im not playing so send me an invite. Im on bass till ~22 when I should be getting a new pedal, then perhaps I could drum something.
 
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.

There is, but iirc you need an adapter to plug in the headset. I can't find the adapter. :-/

Hopefully we'll be able to get the band together Sunday night.

Lost mine too, couldn't find a place to buy another one.
 
There is an adapter.

I was on for 30 minutes, after 7 est. And I'm on now, if you guys wanted to do some more.
 
plaidtopia said:
Cool. Let's shoot for tomorrow night for sure, then. I'll be on pretty much from 4 pm PST onwards.

I'm going to see The Mars Volta tomorrow night. I'll probably be back around midnight EST. My voice may be kinda shot :/

I'll try to control myself, though :P
 
hooray, Lake and I not only found a way to travel through time, but also, fail a song, one hundred percently!!

Not only that, but when we were both in this time warp, you somehow managed to be saved despite the fact that we were the only people playing and had no control over anything. Here's my post from the other thread:

Strange online a minute ago with Lonestar. We play the song together, everything seems fine until the song is over. On the headset, I can hear him still playing the song even though he's done. The voice is delayed for over a minute and the song won't end until the headset catches up.

So we're both bored, can't talk to each other, and we both decide to fail to see what happens. We both fail, but we're still waiting. Then for NO REASON, his side gets a save. And when the song finally decides to end, it gives "SONG FAILED 100%" as a message. I couldn't start a new song. Fricken weird.
 
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.

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.

Shit, I'm not sure what to do then. When's the last day when you're home?
 
And since I got no objections (or reaction at all) from the band, here's Intense Flavor's (tentative) banner:

I still don't know what compelled me to make it.
 
Gatekeeper said:
Today. You could either find a back-up singer or just go for it without one or someone sings and plays.
Yeah I think I'll sing and play at the same time. I suck at singing but this is the easy round so it shouldn't be too bad.

Duderon: I'll be on at the same time, for sure (you may have to invite me out of Halo), and it sounds like Onemic and Saerk are down. Save those vocal chords!
 
We're (The Acid Drops) STILL having no luck with UK members. I have NAT 2 and have no problem connecting to Americans. Its certainly a bug with 2+ UK members joining

Also, I have 0 DLC, since I can't buy from the American store.

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.

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 ...

PirateSean said:

Double shit. This means I'll have to change this week's required song from "Still Alive." Bummer.
