I think if I played it a lot more I could have FCed drums, but I settled for a -2 or -3 run. The SP activations are really weird for guitar and bass on this song, so rather than attempting to memorize I just used SP when I felt like it, so my scores are far from ideal. Vocals are hurt by that ridiculously quiet phrase.
Is it still for Cherub Rock? The OP said submit scores by June 30.
That's why I was waiting.
Probably from a bad edit of the OP. That is the date for last week's song. The cutoff time for each weak is [strike]noon[/strike] 5p GMT every Monday. Most folks do it Sunday night (in the States).
EDIT:
Guess it's noon Eastern time...
What? There's nothing wrong with the OP. Just look!
Oops, fixed. :oops:
Also, completely forgot to run this song this week, so no scores from me. I've been spending the weekend programming a Starpower optimizer for Guitar Hero: Aerosmith. :P Just got it working too.
last week told me I am a MUCH worse guitarist than pretty much anyone else here...but what better way to get better? Already seeing some benefits...also helps to play through each part twice.
I knew I'd never FC it on drums but I did manage to get gold stars which I'm really happy with. I ended up doing the same as JoahW on guitar, just making the path up as I went along. It looks like vocals might balance my drum score out enough this week hopefully!
Also, 2 things:
1) Can you guys please all submit in the same instrument order? Guitar, Bass, Drums, Vocals. I keep putting the wrong scores in the wrong places with everybody in a different order, hehe.
2) To the people who don't submit all 4 instruments... why not? I mean, even if the score you didn't submit was 1 point it's still better than not submitting at all, and a "measly" 25k or 50k could easily bump you up a rank or 2 in the overall ranks. Plus, you'll only get better at that instrument!

It's tough competing against the usual suspects if you don't learn/master the optimal pathing and squeeze techniques. I'm usually happy with my scores because they all see a general improvement. Though I suspect it has more to do with midgetspy's lag tips. I figure one week I'll get a banner when they go on vacation or something.

I'd love to. Except the thing is, I bought the game used, software-only. I don't have the drum kit. I'd personally have no problem submitting a raggedy-ass Easy score if I could, you know, actually get one. I think I'll just wait for RB2 to get the full kit.

I don't have drums or a microphone, and have no intention to get them. However, I still love competition and I do love guitar/bass.

I pretty much just don't find drums and vocals fun. I like singing, but Rock Band's perverted version of it really takes the fun out of it for me.
I just realized a few weeks ago that I was dreading the obligatory drums and vocal runs for this thread, so I just stopped doing them.
Whelp, I was going to work on drums/vocals this evening, but I just don't have it in me after my run through the endless setlist (and my voice is so shot I probably couldn't improve those anyway). So let's just submit now:
At the very least, each of these is a personal best for me (except, as I said, for my unrecorded, vaguely remembered, maybe fake gold stars on drums once), so I'm not unhappy.

Hehe, dang, good show. I knew vocals was going to be my downfall.
Pick another hard drum song for next week, k? :P

For my part I simply haven't moved my drums from the guitar to my living room and set them up in a while. I wasn't really sure how much I'd enjoy this so I just had been doing whatever instruments/parts sounded fun to do for the last couple songs, but now that it does seem to be fun, plus gives me a noble goal to achieve via rock band each week, I'll see about dusting off da skins for next round...on medium
edit: umm, my drums are actually in my garage...not in my guitar.

Man, I'm just now getting adjusted to the physical nature of my new job, so not my best showing this week as I just didn't feel like really woodsheding it to up my scores.
BlackDragon480's score submission:
Guitar: 216,698 GS
Bass: 207,498 GS
Drums: 160,690 (this is the one that really suffered this week, but at least I 5 starred it, for some reason my bass, vocals, and drums scores didn't update online) 5S
Vocals (Hard): 85,282 5S

No matter where you go...there you are. ~ Buckaroo Banzai
I dunno, any suggestions? I've got a few in my head but I dunno which people would enjoy most.
- Working Man by Rush: hard on every instrument, nuts on guitar
- Crushcrushcrush by Paramore: easy on every instrument, but really fun IMO
- any Boston song, cause they're all awesome on every instrument
- Highway Star: again, nuts on every instrument
- ?
EDIT: Oh also, 2 things about the OP. First, we should give Lunker credit for creating the sig banners for us. And 2nd, should we put links to OD paths for those who don't know?
I'm just excited to have reached top 3 in vocals (thanks to Arikado's extenuating circumstances). I'll play whatever, and I'll try to break my drums out this week as well. It would be nice for my ego to jump up that top-10 overall list.
If you pick a Boston song, Peace of Mind or Rock and Roll Band are good picks.
If you pick Working Man, as mentioned before, wait and see how this week's version is.
Otherwise, I'll weigh in on either Debaser or Dead from Doolittle since they're stupidly easy on vocals and we'd get more people submitting 100% GS scores for those songs. If they have them.
I like the Peace of Mind idea, I love it on guitar and drums and I'm sure vocals & bass are fun as well. And hopefully it's a fairly common DLC song since the Boston pack is pretty much the #1 must-buy pack IMO, hehe.
Next week (or the week after) we should do the live version of My Generation. It's 15 minutes long. haha. As for this week, Working Man is a good choice.
China Cat Sunflower anyone? That song's great on guitar at least - no clue about the other instruments.

My nominations are "Something About You" by Boston because it's not appreciated enough for how fun it is on every instrument or "CrushCrush" since Paramore isn't appreciated enough in general.
Ahahaha! I wonder how many people are brave enough to sing China Cat Sunflower for this. Imagine all the high pitched areas for any Boston song. Now imagine singing that same high pitched lines about 12 times over and over. Now imagine that each line is slightly differently pitched with a half note either higher or lower. Ok, now cut yourself.
Seriously, for the sake of drums and vocals, I'd steer clear from Truckin' and China Cat Sunflower.
Yeah I hate China Cat Sunflower despite the fact that it's fun on guitar. It makes sense to wait until the Working Man master is out before doing it so lets do a Boston song.
Something About You it is.
Next week we should definitely consider Outside or Highway Star, those are both great on-disc picks.
UnbreakableVow's early post reminded me that I wanted to get in on this sometime.
So, these scores are about 50,000 off the maximal sum, but I just cannot get in my guitar groove today (the other scores were going to be under by a bit anyway), and I'm just getting frustrated now. (Mass Effect time!)

Bass (expert): 134,681 GS
Drums (expert): 145,575 5S
And finally because I wanted to throw something up for this:
Vocals (easy): 22,710 5S (I think)
I was happy with my guitar and bass runs. There's no way I was gonna FC guitar with those crazy HOPOs near the end, but I'm only about 10,000 away from the top score on the 360 leaderboards, so that's okay. I'm also apparently number 17 on the bass leaderboards.
Oh, and fuck the Boston songs on vocals. I almost didn't even bother posting my pathetic score.
