    Just a thread to organise sessions amongst ourselves and to talk about them afterwards. I'm going to go on at half 7 if anyone would like to join me. I'll play any instrument. Add me as D4RK ONION.

    Indeed we will. Your xbox cut out at the second song, but for some reason I wasn't hearing any of the guitar part of the first song. It was as if you weren't playing but the little icon wasn't sliding down the bar on the left.

    Did this happen to you too Onion?

    Nope, he was coming through fine on my side. Make sure both your audio wires are plugged in. Then again, the lag on our very first song was so bad that you'd hit an overdrive section and the overdrive wouldn't get to you until about 30 seconds later! Also, your track was staying lit with that yellow overdrive look for ages all night! I don't mind, I got my Bachman- Turner achievement!

    Good session to both of ye anyway, and epic solo to Bobby in that last song we did!

    I assume you're talking about Almost Easy. I couldn't believe I hit everything :D I've never done that well on that song, my fingers were doing stuff I couldn't even comprehend :pac:

    Ah these are bloody merciless compared to other RB games, I've 100%'d songs and missed the cut off for gold by 400 points :mad:

    In previous games the Overdrive path was pretty easy to work out for most songs but in the beatles, in more than a few songs I've ended the song with OD to spare. Been a bit lazy to do my home work on the OD usage but I must check later regards the cutoff's for playing as a band, they might be easier.

    I haven't really tried to get gold in the other rock band games yet, but I find that in a band these are much easier, at least you can make a mistake and still get gold with time to spare. I've 100% some songs on bass and still not got gold, after research I found out it's impossible to do it on the song I did!! :(


    Anyhoo, for anyone who doesn't have the Beatles game I have a spare for sale http://www.adverts.ie/showproduct.php?product=176047&cat=12

    *cough* blatent plug * cough* :D

    Great session with Calex, few wtf moments there with achievements and lack of gold stars, but we did pretty well. I nearly FCed "Back in the USSR" with a sightread too, messed up a really easy bit at the very end, sickened!

    I have 3 of those bloody 5gs cheesements with 3/4 complete. Nest time we need to play while I'm not half asleep. I did get the 100% I saw her standing there on bass one earlier while I wasn't quite so sleepy , albeit with an over strum denying me GS and a true FC I deserved :mad:

    We had 4 in a row for 5gs there at one point too, the later songs we missed by 40k:eek: and one only by 4k lol

    No you're spot on the bass is the killer you need to ride a 6x for the whole song and even then if the OD path is off forget it. The OD path is easy though if there are drums involved because they are predetermined pretty much.

    We should have been playing ticket to ride for the 60 sec one , yellow needs guitar drums and bass to work :D

    Anyone around for some Gold Starring Beatles RB tonight? :)

    I may be rusty, haven't played in a while, but once I get the fingers loosened up I'll be grand!! :cool:

    Also, I'd love to get the million points achievement!! I can do enough to get it on Bass and Drums, always mess up the guitar part!!

    I be about later I think, need a break from mass effect.

    Went back to RB2 last night after a few weeks of only playing beatles, have to say the beatles ruined my game some what temporarily, just the nature of the songs I guess , but when I went back to RB2 I found it faster and had to correct myself from only stumming down all the time.

    We can do that million sun's achievement no sweat, think I got it on either I am the walrus or sgt. pepper. it can be done on I want you with the fewest players though.

    I still need i feel fine and i me mine for 2 achievements and then the bolck that has back in the ussr in it i think. I me mine seems to be the one that's giving me most problems, i'll need to do the chorus in practice mode i think to get the timing of strumming on it correct.

    I was going the same to you! We would've done it sooner, but I was outta practice! Takes me a few goes to get the rhythm of the song.

    Going to be very tough to get Helter Skelter!!! We were waaaay off :eek:
