I really liked Spoonman until it got to a long part where I did nothing and I quit out of boredom. Lazy Eye and Teen Age Riot both annoyed me. So I decided to stop playing the songs and just wait for the game, cos I wasn't enjoying it. BUT, I went in their options menu, and whichever mod I installed has so many awesome features that it makes me mad the real games don't have them. I had RB's layout at 200% speed with GH:3's viewing angle, and it was gooood.
Spoonman is very much a drummer's song, though it's good on all instruments as long as they're playing (as you saw). Lazy Eye I find to be a very 'meh' song on all instruments, but that's really easy to tell just by listening to the track. Teenage Riot unfortunately commits one of the unforgivable sins (not only does it assign yellow=snare, but it changes it up mid song). Otherwise, it's a good band song.

Holy shit, I just tried Visions. :( I will never finish that song, it's just to much for my old man hands to cope with, even on hard.

I am the same way. I tried it on both guitar and bass, and cannot keep up with it. I have unlocked endless setlist two for a while and this is the one song stopping me from trying to play the setlist. I can do everything in the game on hard and most of it on expert, but this song kills me. I dont want to do endless and get bladder of steel on medium, but fuck I am going to have to.
 
If I complete songs in a challenge will it record my score in the quickplay menu?
And how do the scores work in quickplay?
Does it display the score for the instrument you are playing?
(I'm not actually interested in my scores, but I want to make sure I go through every song on every instrument and I want a a way to track that.)

The quickplay screen only lists the highest score, regardless of instrument(I think). To check per instrument, you need to check the leaderboards.

On a different note. FUCK CHOP SUEY on expert. I was going for the 25 challenges on expert achievement and got through an entire setlist until Chop Suey. DAMN that song with its really fast strum and alternating chords/buttons. I just couldnt last in it. I kept failing at 41% each time goddammit. And once again, Visions sucks on hard.
 
Just downloaded "My Iron Lung"

I initially disagreed with this choice for a Radiohead song. I still think there was better songs to pick, but now that I've played it I'm suprised at
A) how well it seems to be charted (until the end where he grinds an ebow into the strings)
B) how hard it was (for me) on guitar

Not to be a dick, but I think I gold starred it on my first try.

Not a terrible choice though I'll agree I felt like it was an odd selection at first.

Speaking of Radiohead awesome idea for the future: give us all the relevant tracks from a song. By which I mean when I load up a Radiohead song I get to choose from Guitar 1, Guitar 2, Guitar 3, or Bass. People might complain a bit when they have to stop playing occasionally or realize how repetitive a rhythmic part can be, but if you're serious about showing non-musicians what it's like you'll go for this. It really helps to pull aside the curtain and show people how songs are created. That said we don't need separate tracks for overdubs, just give us the live arrangement. Hopefully it will also get them to stop trying to shove rhythm and lead parts together and swap back and forth at will.
 
If we're going to have a dedicated, updated list of DLC could we please get the videos that go up each week linked in? It's annoying because I check them out on Tues. when it goes up for the 360, but by Thurs. when PS3 gets it I sometimes forget and want to re-check, but finding something a few days ago is tough when the thread moves this fast.

why would you be a dick? I've owned the game for 3 days and dont plan on practicing it. Just a diversion for me. anyhoo...
Its a pretty crzy solo as far as the early songs on medium are concerned at least of the ones I've played.

I was thinking earlier today, that they should have a rythm guitar sectionas a kind of bonus feature.

I was also thinking that there should be a dedicated thread for all DLC amongst Rock Rev, RB and GH. Be it suggestions, videos or whatever, but I bet others would hate that.

Well, when someone says they had trouble with a song it's a dick thing to come along and say how easy you felt it was and how you did really well on it.

It's not quite the same, but I think of it as being like a guy picks up a girl he think he wouldn't normally be able to pull, takes her home, has a bit of trouble getting it up, but it works out in the end and he's glad to have had the chance. A few days later his friend comments on this by saying "Yeah, but with me she wasn't faking." It's just not the classy thing to do.

But enough about your mom.... :D

Yes, this is terrible idea.

Aside from putting too many different games together and making it tough to keep track of everything it would mean we have little to talk about in here. Yes, basically the same people post in both threads, but we have our little clubhouse here and we like it. Discussing DLC, speculating on future DLC, and just plain wanting other DLC is what makes the thread keep going a lot of the time.

Oh and it might just be me but for some reason "Stop!" is reminding me of "Two Tribes" by Frankie Goes to Hollywood. I can't quite place it, but I think it's the vocal rhythm.

Search youtube "[song title] [difficulty] [instrument]".

I guess, but they are all so similar now. When I say "Paranoid Android would be sweet!" I mean that for every platform really. Its currently almost like having the 360 and PS3 threads seperate. but I see what you mean. It would be a cluster fuck I guess

Well you can always have people bitching about different charting of songs by different developers. "Neversoft over charts the shit out of this song" or "Jesus Harmonix this is expert?"

Also just little things would start to make such an idea messy, like trying to talk about a bug or finer aspect of gameplay amidst a sea of similar questions or talk about a completely different game.

Ahh, subtle :lol

Oh... my mistake.


"I WAS MOCKINGLY TALKING ABOUT HAVING UNCOUTH SEXUAL RELATIONS WITH HIS MOTHER IN REFERENCE TO THE PREVIOUS STATEMENTS MADE IN THE POST. IT WAS A JOKE TO FOSTER PLAYFUL COMRADERIE IN THE MANNER OF MEN BY BEING UNNECESSARILY VICIOUS TO EACH OTHER. LIKELY A DERIVATION FROM EARLIER ATTEMPTS TO ESTABLISH DOMINANCE WITHIN THE PACK."


Hope that makes it clear. Sorry I was being too demure about my unwarranted and completely unprovoked personal attack.

:D

My problem with it isn't the chart (which is, I guess, as good as it could be) but just...nobody thinks of My Iron Lung when they think of Radiohead. Most people don't even think of The Bends. Structurally it's pretty dull, when the band could provide some exciting tracks for the game. If they had just been some band I didn't know I'd probably enjoy playing the song more.

I think The Bends, fuck Fitter Happier, that's all I'm saying

That does what you want. Bookmark it.
 
I am still playing ALOT of Rock Band. I am no longer thinking about how much money it did cost. It was worth ever cent.

I love "aesthetics of Hate" so I bought the Album this ong is on and on another note this game reminded me why I hate REM so much. What an awful awful band.
 
Johnkers said:
Pablo Honey is better then Kid A too!

Now I think of The Bends when I think of Radiohead (it is my fave album of theirs), but damn that is cold calling Pablo Honey better than Kid A. But it is your opinion and you are entitled to it.

Don't you mean Weezer pack 2? There was the pack from the Red Album, and the El Scorcho single, but not to 2 packs.

I edited just in time!

I've decided today I have spent too long thinking Green isn't a good album. I want some tracks off it.
 
Hey everybody,

I knew I should have quoted! Anyway, I think Hash Pipe, keep fishin, and Island in the sun (It may be boring to play, but I want it anyway) would be good ones off the Green Album. Throw in Dope Nose if you like.
 
Im still working on my youtube channel with videos of me playing Expert Drums....and a few videos playing as a band (you will see a couple of cute vocalists).

I will be happy if you visit it
