Also <3 Paramore alot (in general). Crushcrushcrush is a pretty boring song to play though. Link to post Share on other sites

Tehtoe 3 Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 Ya but....I love that song.I love my Wii also.....I haven't played my Wii in ages. I love the song too, but I've never tried it on anything other than guitar and it's a fairly easy 5 star on that.I can't wait for the Paramore track pack, which was confirmed before but I'm sure will they'll hold off on it until RB2. I also noticed That's What You Get is on the RB2 track list, should be a great drums song. Link to post Share on other sites

Suited_Up 2 Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 I wonder if the new instruments will be worth buying all over again. They said the new drums have a metal petal, and better guitars. Wonder if I should sell my old one before this one comes out, to maxmize the value. Link to post Share on other sites

Wonder if I should sell my old one before this one comes out, to maxmize the value.I would go ahead and sell off the Rock Band guitar now, and purchase a Guitar Hero guitar (what I did). They hold up much better than the RB guitars and will probably be cheaper than getting the RB2 guitars when they come out. Link to post Share on other sites

sennin 0 Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Just beat it on Hard today. "Reaper" kept kicking my ass about 90% through until I forced myself to play that section over and over in Practice. Was able to beat the final tier with mostly 4-stars...aside from "Run to the Hills"...which trounced me the one time I tried to play it. I guess that's the last non-DLC that I haven't beaten on Hard.How many songs have y'all gold-starred? (100% on Expert) I picked up my first with "Countdown to Insanity" a few weeks ago. I think there's a really simple Pixies song that's likely to be next.Started working on 5starring/goldstarring songs yesterday. only 2 gold I have so far is "i think im paranoid" and "dani california" Link to post Share on other sites

Some of the lower tier songs you actually do have to full combo (the Garbage one, Maps, Ok Go) and use star power at the right places, but the higher tier songs you gold star it without actually having to FC. On the PS2 and Wii, the gold star threshold is about 10% lower than on PS3, so it's easier still. Link to post Share on other sites

Actually, I don't think you have to on the Garbage song...since it was my second Gold Star. I got about fifteen notes from the end when it gave me the Gold Star. Link to post Share on other sites
CobaltBlue 662 Posted July 30, 2008 Author Share Posted July 30, 2008 Beaten all of the songs I have (~180) on Hard Drums aside from "Run to the Hills" and "Hammerhead". Think I'm about a third of the way through Expert. Link to post Share on other sites
xzanos 0 Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 I'm getting a little bored with guitar, so I started playing drums on hard. It sucks cause I have lenolium floors and a cat whose hair gets all over the place, so when I'm stomping the kick-pedal rapidly, the whole drum-set starts to shift and messes me up. I'm stuck on the 4th tier songs now. Link to post Share on other sites
bigkg 0 Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 I was trying to beat Run to the Hills on expert and was getting really frustrated, and I ended up snapping one of my sticks over my leg, sigh. Link to post Share on other sites

xzanos 0 Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 very happy with the 2 SOAD songs not me, I would have rather seen Aerials and Chop SueyI was really hyped to get them, but I was a little disappointed. To cure my disappointment, I got Snow(hey oh) because a friend said it was probably doable for me. I'm now very disappointed in the purchases I made today. Link to post Share on other sites
CobaltBlue 662 Posted August 6, 2008 Author Share Posted August 6, 2008 To cure my disappointment, I got Snow(hey oh) because a friend said it was probably doable for me.I think "Snow ((Hey Oh))" might be my favorite DLC in a while.I've probably 5-starred 90% of my ~180 songs on Hard Drums. Only one or two 3-stars and still those two that I can't beat ("Hammerhead" and "Run to the Hills"). I think I could beat "Hammerhead" if I went into Practice and figured out the pattern. The red/greens eff me up when they alternate between being together and alternating...cause they're spread so far apart. Link to post Share on other sites
xzanos 0 Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 I think "Snow ((Hey Oh))" might be my favorite DLC in a while.Oh, I def like the song, I just think it's giving me carpal tunnel from playing it on x-guitar. Link to post Share on other sites

SBriand 4 Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 not me, I would have rather seen Aerials and Chop SueyAerials woud be boring on drums and chop suey I believe was on the RB2 track list. (just checked and indeed it is listed for RB2)Both BYOB and Toxicity are great for drums, which is the only thing I play on RB so that is why I was pleased. Link to post Share on other sites

I'm stuck on the 4th tier songs now.I was actually stuck on Maps (tier 3.) Once I beat that, I cruised all the way to the tier 8 songs with only one tier 7 song giving me much trouble. Granted I got mostly 3 and 4 stars, but I passed them Link to post Share on other sites
