I've watched all the youtubes for the muse pack, and i have to say that unless you really like that stuff, it looks like a resounding failure. One youtuber commented that not all songs have to be like dragonforce, which i agree with completely. However, those songs are so fucking boring that its kinda hard to appreciate them from someone who isnt used to that music. At least Knights of Cydonia, has a rollicking cowboy theme and breakneck strumming. The only "good song" (not supermassive or exo) is just a boring strum fest that isnt even remotely hard OR interesting. It's a real diservice to the band as well as to the fans. The Velvet Revolver as well as the Dropkick DLC were pretty good examples of what DLC should be, varying difficulties, varying song styles, varying genres.

YES, I've finally 5-starred Raining Blood with 239,169 points! Now all I have to do on GH3 is beat Lou and I'll have my El Jefe. :D

I haven't retried passing Jordan or 5-starring Psychobilly Freakout yet because I've been practicing Raining Blood so much, so I'll get back to those later. For now I'm just happy to have that song done with. It's a great song, but it's hard as hell to get a decent score on.

Bit late for this, but my friend and I recently downloaded the Dropkick Murphys track pack on his 360. I did terrible sightreading these songs, but I know I can get them with practice. Johnny, I Hardly Knew Ya was probably my favorite, both to play and to listen to.

So how's Muse? Sounds pretty boring, to be completely honest. The only song of theirs that I actually like is Knights of Cydonia, which I can already play anyway.

Hard or extreme? I've just managed the 5* on Easy for Raining Blood, unlocking the Bat. Now it's a slightly more difficult task in 5*ing all the Medium tracks next...

I am getting better... slowly

Expert. I also just beat Lou, unlocking myself the Distant Visitor and El Jefe. Cool, now all I need are the basses you get for beating co-op on expert, which I should be able to do as soon as my friend and I can have a good run at it.

Just keep practicing and you'll get better. After a while, even hard mode will become way too easy for you.

Nice, so you've got... just a few more achievemnets than me :P

Yeah, it's just a matter of time. I'm going to spend some time hanging around on Medium and getting towards 5* on every song then, maybe also completing the run through on Co-op that I've got with my girlfriend, plus the one that she wants to do with her profile.

We really need to invest in a second guitar...

I am probably one of the best guitar hero players in this club. At least, I'm fairly certain. My accomplishments are pretty good. Here's my ScoreHero page: http://www.scorehero.com/scores.php?user name=KORELtd

Jake, you can Five Star Raining Blood?
No wonder you never talk to me anymore.

Also, I'm trying to get better myself at GH3 after a long break (been playing mostly Rock Band).

So I'm getting FCs on Hard (only three so far, Mississippi Queen, School's Out, and Cities on Flame)

I still come here pretty much every day. Just PM me sometime. :)

Well, I now have five stars on Psychobilly Freakout. I did it, but just barely, as I have somewhere just over 167k. Beast and the Harlot and Institutionalized were easy, and now I'm stuck on Misirlou. My highest score on that is around 160k and I need around 202k to 5* it. I just can't seem to get that tremolo picking for the life of me.

Aside from that, I know I'll be fine with Hangar 18 and Free Bird. It's just Misirlou that's giving me trouble. I think I might be overstrumming it, and the precision of the note switches is also confusing for me.

Holy shit. HellAshes FCd Slash Guitar Battle (the solo Download Song)
http://www.scorehero.com/forum/viewtopic .php?t=55968

Only songs that have to be left to FCd by the community.

GH1:
NONE HAHAHAHA TAKE THAT OZZY AND JAKE E. LEE!

GH2:
NONE HAHAHA TAKE THAT BUCKETHEAD AND STRONG BAD!

GH2 360 DLC:
Detonation. Seriously no one wants to play this damn song since Trivium sucks.

GH 80s:
Ballroom Blitz... the solo it haunts me. WHY IS IT FOURTH TIER?

GH3:
One. It's close though since JPrez44 has FCd the fast tapping solo four times at full speed. But there's so much more to FC.
TTFAF. This one is close as well. iamchrisforlife's recent run he FCd everything from They're Hammer Ons to Herman's Solo... then missed in Sam's Solo.
The Devil Went Down to Georgia (solo download) Yeah... this isn't happening unless HellAshes or another crazy guy practices for hours and hours.

As for me... I'll keep practicing Hard Mode until I'm ready for Expert.

Holy shit when did muse DLC come out?

awesomeawesomeawesome.

So cruel. I'm proud that I've nearly FC'd Cliffs of Dover on Medium. Only 6 notes away, then I might just try Raining Blood for the first time on Medium :P

Awesome tune... almost makes me want to log onto eBay any find myself a copy :P

HellAshes, witwix, and iamchris4life are insane. They can FC the hardest of the hard. Priest is just naturally amazing; I bet he could be as good as them if he practiced certain songs a little more.

I'm still waiting for iamchris4life to FC TTFAF. His best run is like a -10.

Man, I really want guitar hero 4 now. A full song editor, just without vocals for copyright and size reasons? You can create your own light show for it and all that too? sign me up already

Looks like a great addition, are you going to be able to save your songs while making them?

BALLROOM BLITZ HAS BEEN FC'D! (The Rocks the 80s version, the Rock Band version has been FCd before)

Now all that's left is...

Detonation - Trivium (GH2 DLC) Has a crazy solo.
One - Metallica (GH3) Has a crazy tapping solo, but it's close.
Through the Fire and Flames - Dragonforce (GH3) Crazy altogether. But it's close.
The Devil Went Down to Georgia - Steve Ouimette (GH3 DLC) Crazy, but it's close as well.

Apparently GH4's going to be called GH aerosmith, is this true

Guitar Hero 4 is "Guitar Hero World Tour". Guitar Hero Aerosmith is an expansion pack in the same way Rock the 80s was.

HellAshes is close. He missed a note on one of the solos and overstrummed on another. He'll get it soon enough.

A FREAKIN EDITOR!!!!!

holy shit. i thought that was a total myth.

i might actually preorder my first game =O

I fucking hate being stuck on shit songs. I did the Disturbed one and the Queens of the Stoneage one today, and I'd already done the Muse one, but I'm stick on the Slipknot one, and it's such an awful song I've no desire to keep trying it.

hellashes has already fced all sections of tdwdtg, so it's really no more unthinkable an fc than one or ttfaf at this point.

personally, i'm happy with my cliffs of dover, laid to rest, and thunderhorse fcs
getting that 500k achievement in one would make me pretty much satisfied with "mastering" the core guitar hero series

...and as a side note, ttfaf has now been fced.
congrats to iamchris4life!

Holy shit on a stick, that's impressive. Kudos to iamchrisforlife, as he officially has no life.

Beat Before I Forget, Cult of Personality and Number of the Beat. Can't do Raining Blood (FUCKING MOSH 1), One (Actually, this song is quite easy, it can't be in the right tie-wait, what? OH GOD MAKE IT STOP) and...the other one.

Beat Cliffs Of Dover.

Also, why was I not informed that it actually shows you when to hammer on? I didn't realise the notes with the white bits in meant anything, so I never used hammer ons thinking I was just shit at them, when really I'd just been using them in bits when you weren't supposed to.

You never asked.

Well now you do - go back to some songs that you didn't know it about and watch those FCs come flying in

Also, I had a chance to get my hands on the Rock Band drum kit last night, before going to see Iron Man. Not a bad setup, but the only thing that's putting me off is the price - I can't afford £180 for a fucking game.

I managed to FC The Metal yesterday, my hands were shaking afterwards, lol.

Also, iamchris4life, nice one.

Beat One. Just Raining Blood and Lou left and I can tell Guitar Hero III to fuck off forever and never come back.

gah, stuck on Before I Forget. I just can't do it. :(

Raining Blood is impossible so I decided to try and do Easy, but left handed, since I started on Hard when I first got the game.

Good God, am I uncoordinated. I can't get better than 3 stars.
