Is this just your DLC, or is it that the shared DLC of your band (what all four members have)?

Intense Flavor has an updated banner we'd like to use. Hopefully it's okay to swap them out.

I was looking to see if any of the bandmates were on and just noticed Plaid's gamerscore. 44k, jesus man!

When are the other two going to show up, btw?

PS: The concert was canceled for the second time. Note to self, listen to bands that actually show up to their shows :(

"Jesus man!" is right. Remember: I'm buying my way into heaven with all these achievement points.

And I don't know where the hell everyone is. We were all on earlier for a little pre-funk, but I'm doubting that anyone's gonna show...

EDIT: No one showed -- screw it. I work tomorrow, but hopefully we can play later...

Sorry about last night, One More Day.

I got confused on the PM's and thought "tomorrow" meant Saturday. I'll be around all day switching between 360 and PS3. I'll leave Trillian open too.
 
I see all three of you are online now. I'm still at work, but you guys should go ahead and play and record the scores.

I'm not sure I'll be able to play tomorrow and Sunday, so it's best to have something at least ...

Hey, Unnamed 360 Band #3, we're going to go ahead and do our substitution for this week. Since we didn't get a list of your combined DLC, we're just gonna do something off the disc.

Time We Had has been replaced with Learn to Fly.

So, unless you want to change Wanted, we'll have the following songs this week.

Required: Still Alive
Our Choice: Learn to Fly
Reserve #2: Wanted: Dead or Alive

You guys want to try for a session tonight around 8:00 ???

If plaid cant make it, then Duderon should probably try and play bass + vocals just so we have ascore for the week.

Dragon Ryders, one of our band members won't be available next week so we'll have to do all of the reserve songs for week 2 during our week 1 "studio session" (heh) tomorrow.
 
I'm on now for another half hour or so. But probably not for the rest of the night.

If you guys do it with just the three of you at 8, be my guest! I'd much rather have some score over none.

shoot me an invite, I could always have someone random here sing. I can't gaurantee it will actually be good, but who knows, maybe they'll get a starpower

sure set a time and ill show up. We'll two man this if we have to. I tried some extra strenght bonding putty and duct tape with a small brace on my drums so if need be i can play those should it actually hold.

I'm gutted!

Yeah, it looks like its a lost cause now. I just realised I have problems with most my EA games (Fifa, Euro 2008, CoD4) so.. I dunno

Also, Still Alive is free so I got that this morning!

Shit, Drakken just said he's online and the band broke off 10 minutes ago... hopefully everyone is still on. Plaid, ignore that PM for now.
 

Drakken

Member
I'm back! Unfortunately I don't have a ton of time to play before I have to stop due to family members going to bed. Hopefully we can round up at least one or two members to have scores to submit, even if we don't have the full band.

Thanks for playing on such short notice, guys. I think those are pretty decent scores for quick runthroughs.
They're great scores. I could've done better with In Bloom, but the other two songs are good scores. I wish I could sing better than on easy.

Lonestar, I sent you that picture, and I'm sending you another PM with the other two scores. Then I'm leaving my house.

That's fine. They are good songs.

LakeEarth and crew: I'll post our scores if you post yours!

Well we put some last second scores up. I can't say they were amazing. I ended having to drum since Onemic wasn't around. Well as you can probably see from the pictures below, it was a bit challenging.

The tape and the bonding putty held for quite a few hours today, but by the time we got together it had lost its hold. So I had to make do and just tough through it.

Glad to see Drakken actually made it. Sorry I wasn't online at the time to help out. I ended up having to step out of the house once we were done.

Couple of notes:
- A big nod to those bands who competed sans one member, especially to LakeEarth who sang and played guitar.
- A reminder that if your band is unable to coordinate your song selections with your opposing band, you MUST play the three songs provided by me.
Medium Rare, I'm looking at you ...
 
Since we had more than half of the bands not show up this past week, I'm going to be changing this week's matchups. Sorry for the inconvenience, but I'd like to actually pair groups together that will show up. The new matchups are as follows:

I realize that some bands were plagued by unresponsive members or technical issues. To those you in such bands who would still like to participate, let me know.

Hopefully we can get our full band together this week. Onemic, were you able to get your megapedal installed ok?

Wow, I'm surprised putting singing on easy and bass on medium would cause over a million difference in the 3 songs. But no biggie. Our band is set up so it will shine more as the songs get harder.

And to celebrate some success, great job Drakken with that 100% expert drum in In Bloom and Gimme Shelter! Especially since we only got the chance to play those two songs once.
