Screw Run To The Hills! The intro for Wasted Years is where it's at!

Twilightning

Only 2 more days! I have a leaving cert to be doing but **** it.

Twilightning

THIS IS FREAKIN' AWESOME.

I managed to 5 star 2 Minutes to Midnight, Aces High and Hallowed by Thy Name first try (expert guitar). The Trooper is really bloody hard though, barely got 3 stars. It's impossible to keep a combo with those trills in the instrumental bridges.

ShawnRaven

Not enjoying these at all. Songs are just too stupidly hard
Have to drop down a level to enjoy these...

cedomination

Still have to wait a week to play these,I sent my xbox off to get repaired.

ShawnRaven

Well the strum bar on my GHWT guitar just died today, wonder if it's a coincidence.
Back to Smyths with the kit and the receipt to bounce it off their heads for replacement

The Trooper is probably the only song I would get, as I loved it in GH2.

ShawnRaven

By comparison to the solo in Wasted Years, The Trooper in GH2 was a piece of piss.

cedomination

I have a feeling some of these tracks will be more fun on bass.

Why wouldn't you get the rest of them?

I'm guessing the first time he's ever heard of Iron Maiden was in Guitar Hero II. :rolleyes:

And? They're not my type of music. Its not bad, don't get me wrong, it's just not for me.

You still must have been living under a rock if you'd never heard of Iron Maiden at all up until you played this game.

Or they were before my time?

Twilightning

The Beatles were about four decades before my time, but if I still told somebody I'd never heard of them, I think I'd be subjected to a slap in the face.

ParalysedBeaver

Yes, but Beatles >>>> Iron Maiden. Trufax

Matter of opinion, Most of the beatles most popular (covering my ass here) work is three chords and catchy tunes.

Maiden, on the other hand, lasted a lot longer, produced more and (in my honest opinion) better music.

I respect what the Beatles did for music, but they were a glorified boy band for their time, only with instruments.

Hang on a second, why are you even comparing the two anyway???

D4RK ONION

Perhaps because Rock Band Beatles is out soon? If you like the trooper do you not think the rest of their stuff is worth a listen? How are you sure they're not your your thing if you've only heard ONE of their songs??

That'd be my point too.

I only used The Beatles as an example of a band that was probably before all of our times, so relax.

ShawnRaven

Woot!
Gotta say, the staff at Smyths at Airside were very helpful. Swapped out the GHWT solo guitar pack for a new one!

Meaning i can tackle the maiden tracks with a proper working guitar.

Maybe if you trade in your copy of Guitar Hero you'll get just enough to buy the Iron Maiden pack... If you're lucky. :pac:

It's for Rock Band 2

ShawnRaven

Wow, managed to do three stars for both Run To The Hills and Wasted Years (almost four, to be fair), my fingers now have blisters on them and have vowed not to take such a long layoff from the game next time.

Summer sounds good, final exam next monday so i'll be as good as freed up after that.

D4RK ONION

Well all we need now is a drummer or vocalist, as I can do either of those on expert...

cedomination

Send 'em to bed!

A mansion you say... Sounds good to me! Is there a butler? We could maybe rent out a games cafe of something, I know there's a place in Limerick who would probably oblige...

Limerick? If i can't make it to Cork for Chickenfoot next weekend, then Limerick doesn't stand a fighting chance of me visiting!

D4RK ONION

Damn... it was worth a shot anyway!
