I got to 92% on Visions and then my hand literally started cramping up. I was pissed. And the song blows harder than anything anyone has ever suggested for DLC in this thread.

This poster pulses with an appeal so broad the typical restraints of our societies fall by the wayside.
Dumb question: are band logos used in-game at all (as a back-drop at a venue or something), or are they only used for menus/profiles? Just wondering; mine looks good on the white preview screen when creating it, but hideous when looking at it on my band's profile.

Other than Painkiller and Visions, top tier drums seem MUCH easier in this game. I beat Everlong on my third of fourth try and I'm sure I'll be able to beat Peace Sells as soon as I get a dependable pedal (my current one keeps slipping off the track and is snapped in two places). Since I'm tired of reapplying the duct tape, I'm going to get the RB2 set as soon as I see it in stores.

Got it today!
That Bob Dylan song has to be the least enjoyable drum song I've ever played, Silver included. Wow. It just fucking sucks.
The Fleetwood Mac song caught me off guard. Really awesome drum chart for that song. Had a great time playing it.
Feel The Pain fucking rules.

I just saw my logo on a banner behind the drummer in a set I was doing. I think I've seen it on some tv screens as well.Charron said:

I personally havent gotten to Visions yet in the game, but watching the videos of it, what is everyone's problem? Its a lame death metal song(sounds more like parody)but has an insanely hard instrument track. I dont remember quite as much hate for an even shittier song called Through The Fire and the Flames on GH III. Both are bad, but not the level of bad most are making it out to be.

TTFATF can be enjoyable to play. Even if I have to turn on no fail to get past the intro. There are much worse songs in GH3.
You probably have this down by now, but, just in case (and if anyone else is still working it out)...TheGreatDave said:All these modes complicate my poor brain. It would be a lot easier if I could play the damn game
There are two 'career' modes in RB2, and they can be played either solo or with a band.
First, there is the "Band World Tour". This is the same as the multiplayer career found in RB1, with the gigs in different cities, the collection of fans, and the hiring of staff. Biggest difference is that now you can do it solo or progress in it online (you take your band online, and have 'stand-ins' join you).
The second 'career' mode lies in the challenges. Each Challenge is a setlist of typically 3-5 songs, and are separated into a familiar tier system. There are two types of challenges, which I'll call 'main' and 'extra'. Main Challenges use the on-disk songs. Extra challenges are made up of a selection of on-disk, exported, and DLC tracks.
The Main challenges are organized by instrument. One each for the four individual instruments, and one for a 'full band'. Complete a main challenge, and you'll unlock the next tier of challenges in that category. You'll also unlock the 'extra' clannges for the tier you played.
Confusing? Probably, but here's an example:
Beating Tier 2 Bass Challenge opens the Tier 3 Bass Challenge as well as opening the Tier 2 extra challenges.
The only exception is that there is no Tier 1 Bass Challenge. Instead the Tier 1 Guitar Challenge opens both the Tier 2 Guitar Challenge as well as the Tier 2 Bass Challenge.

Thanks for that, I've read bits online. but I didn't realise challenge modes were that structured. I approve.
How do you unlock songs quickly? Is tour challenge faster than unlocking songs in BWT?
I sort of wish there was a solo tour mode again, or at least an option to let experts have all songs in a quicker fashion. At least in RB1, when you go through solo tour you know you're going to be getting all the songs. Even after beating all the drum challenges I still haven't unlocked all the songs yet.

I like Brooks and Dunn, anything from them would be fun to sing at least.

custom guitars?
Yes, the challenges are the fastest way of unlocking things. And, once again, the challenges ARE the solo tour.onemic said:
If you want to do a solo drum tour, just do the drum challenges. Same goes for guitar, bass, and vocals. The songs will be ordered by difficulty in their instruments.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
I could accept Johnny Cash or Willie Nelson... maybe Waylon Jennings, but braindead fucks like Brooks and Dunn? Fuck that.smarkel said:

DISC BASED FUTURE.
I really don't care all that much about AC/DC though. Back In Black and TNT are all I know, and neither would be good.

Seriously. Who cares about AC/DC.
I don't know...I have to say Angus' solo in the live version of Back in Black is superior to the album version...Duck said:

Are you sure you are doing the Marathons? I'm pretty sure Peace Sells was in Impossible Marathon 01.onemic said:
Edit: Here's a post from Score Hero that show what each Marathon unlocks.

Each difficulty tier is broken up into two 6 song Marathons.

They need to be isolated and studied so it can be determined what nutrients they have that may be extracted for our personal use.
Brooks and Dunn could be pretty good, I liked the Jimmy Buffett pack a lot. Even still, they'd be fun to sing and it'd make way for the Dixie Chicks in RB, so it has secondary benefits too.Costanza said:
What music do you like?GoutPatrol said:
Actually, don't answer, who cares about your opinion.
Maybe, maybe so, but the vocals in the Back in Black Doningtons version are utter shit compared to the studio recording on the Back in Black album.AMUSIX said:
Besides, there's no excuse for not having the original version, BiB was remastered and Let There Be Rock in RB is the original recording. Oh wait, speaking of Let There Be Rock, they're going to want us to pay $2 for a live version of something we already have, aren't they.
Through the Fire and Flames is an awesome song.PhoncipleBone said:
Visions is a sucky song, imo. But, it isn't nearly as bad as people make it out to be. I like the genre, but not that particular song.
Or, are we talking "bad" as in "no fun to play." Because, I can't play Through the Fire and Flames and I'm sure I can't play Visions.

You clearly have not played the Norman Greenbaum song yet. The drums in the Dylan song shit all over the drums from Spirit in the Sky.
But I do agree about Feel the Pain. By far the best drum song I've played yet. I'm afraid to do Teenage Riot on expert though

No, because this time you'll get the shitty Brian Johnson version. Much different than the superior Bon Scott version. (Or was Donington before Johnson?)

Until it happens I will request, demand, and predict the Yardbirds.
we NEED more songs from the 60s. Dammit.
