I've found that when people are starting to get frustrated when struggling on difficult songs, Charlene is the perfect palate cleanser.
On a totally unrelated note, wonder if we'll get any Christmas DLC this year. As in Christmas songs and stuff. Then again most attempts to create new Christmas songs result in crap.
Charlene is also the best thing to go for guitar/bass 100% and first gold star IMO.
You'd think Jingle Bell Rock would be an obvious one for RB2. Not exactly difficult but..

And I doubt anybody would give a shit if they had to use a cover instead of the master.
I think we need Transiberian Orchestra's Christmas song. That might be kinda cool.
Ummm... Which one? If I'm not mistaken, that ALL that TSO does is Christmas songs! They've got a few amazing instrumental ones (you're probably thinking of "Christmas Eve (Sarajevo 12_24)", in fact). Most of the music they have that includes vocals though sounds like stuff being sung by Broadway musical performers - very dramatic and over the top, as opposed to very "metal" like the solos in ...Sarajevo...
Christmas Eve Sarajevo is Carol of the Bells, btw, but TSO does more than just Christmas songs. I mean, the only album of theirs I have is Christmas Eve and Other Stories, but they do more.
I've decided to go for the ESL and bladder of steel, 5 songs in, no misses yet all gold stars (on guitar).
Making poast between songs?
Yep, got laptop right next to me, and I'm playing the first few songs sitting down.
Just finished up We Pretend That We're Dead. Perfect golds so far.
Gluck with that... the bladder of steel achievement is not for me. 6 hours + is way too long to wait for a bathroom break. Plus I usually like to have a beer or two while I am playing Rock Band which would make it nearly impossible.

I got 100 percent Expert drums with it too.
Man, Battery is kicking my ass on Hard right now! I can get the pattern down, but I'm scared I'll break my pedal from stomping.
The drums just don't seem to click with me for some reason =\ I'm trying them out as i can now handle almost everything on expert guitar...I can five star a lot of the more difficult songs(at least more difficult according to the ratings)on medium but anything with really long, really fast fills i'm lucky to 2 star =( Its annoying being able to 5 star 3-4 dotted songs and then almost failing out on songs that say they have a 0 drum difficulty
I've been slowly working my way up from Medium drums (I started them about a month ago) and now I can do most Hard and a few Expert songs. I feel like I'm progressing faster than I did with guitar.
it's a cherry on my awesome weekend which included seeing an awesome concert. Franz Ferdinand and the Killers rocked the joint so hard and I have an even bigger appreciation for Paramore now.
You and Morgan can go to hell, btw.
Best concert I have ever seen in my life. The Killers and Franz Ferdinand fucking rock live. Thanks Arikado for driving me around and Shady, you lame ass, couldnt you have borrowed a car???

Alright, 1/4 through, tally stands at 19 gold stars and 3 5 stars (I messed up Feel the pain, Pump it Up, and New Kid in school).

Fuck, I didn't count on the effect that the cold air (I'm playing downstairs in my house, and it's about 10 degrees outside, even with a good heating system it's kinda cool in here with a bit of a draft) would have, I had to pause and go take a piss a minute ago.
I made it 33 songs in, and bladder of steel is now gone. I think I'll take a dinner break and come back and finish up the ESL in an hour or so and at least get that over with and try the bladder of steel another time.

I didn't get bladder of steel because I was doing vocals and my controller for no reason desynced and immediately re-synced during the run. Full batteries. Just quick "omg where did the controller go" and "oh there it is hello player 1".
After that I just paused a couple of times for like a half hour because I was already 30-35 songs in.

You could do worse than Paramore for so-called 'guilty pleasure' bands. I listen to Five Iron Frenzy.
WHAT IS THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN
THOSE GUYS ARE A GOOD BAND
My sources say otherwise. I tell these sources to fling themselves from cliffs. (Or in short, has long been one of my favorite bands, I just seem to be the only one that likes them that I personally know.)
Also, some people might be interested to know, Wal-Mart has the AC/DC Live track pack on sale for 30 bucks.
I know this is an old post, but I have a couple of questions:
How long is this discount going on for?
Does this also apply to Sam's Club?
Not a clue about Sam's Club, but it was in Wal-Mart's sunday ad, which is listed as running Dec. 14th-24th.
Thanks. I suppose it wouldn't hurt to check my local Sam's Club, then. It's closer than any Wal-Mart... Still, I'd hate to have to go there to get it. 'Tis a dilemma.
OH WHAT THE FUCK. It gave me Ace Of Spades '08 on a random thus proving I, in fact, do NOT have medium down yet.

So with the new 120G HDD I almost forgot about installing games. I installed RB2 before starting up my drumming session. The load times are awesome. I swear its like its timed so that the second I'm done reading the Trivia/Tips the loading screen is gone.

Oh, I found the Savatage version too though.

Omahans, pronounced Oh mah ha uhns. It always looks weird written out though. There's about 12 of us on here, and couple from Council Bluffs.
Man I think I'll pick up a couple of these country tracks.

I can't guitar flirtin' with disaster and I don't have bad to the bone
Who do you think I am? Some sort of beggar?
in any case, I've finally 100% gold starred Enter Sandman on drums expert and 98%-ed Move Along by the All American Rejects on drums expert. woo!

So yeah, fat paycheck this weekend means I'll finally pick up RB2 drums with the 3 cymbal pack.
