Let's Talk About Guitar Hero!!! PS2 & Xbox 360 versions!

My wife was easy and I was hard. uh... wait, that didn't come out right.

Needed to be repeated.

[TraderJake]

I agree. That's my chuckle of the day.

/Goes back to Guitar Hero.

[den68]

Knocked off 3 more this morning on hard. Madhouse, Carry Me Home and Laid To Rest. Now we're getting tough. Laid To Rest took a couple tries, Carry Me Home about 6.

I also tried Psychobilly Freakout. That one is going to be a serious challenge. I tries practice mode at a slower speed and it mesed me up even more. I think I need to go back and try this one at the easier levels to get more familiar with it. I guess that means I gotta play though those levels now.

[den68]

okay, I beat Psychobilly Freakout last night. damn that one was hard. The encore for that group of songs is YYZ.

that one is going to be tough too.

[Tan]

"Free bird" made my arm go numb 

[Zimbacca]

Whoever covered the vocals in "Laid to Rest" did a really shitty job.

[den68]

Got past YYZ. I played the last group a few times and didn't beat any. I got 80% through Hangar 18.

It'll be a while before i step into expert on this one, hard is giving me a helluva time as it is. 

Co-op sure is fun though, I find rhythm guitar much more fun than bass, is it just me or does the bass during co-op have a lower volume than the track does in solo mode? Or maybe lead is made louder I'm not sure, but it seems to get drowned out allot, whereas rhythm blends in very nicely.

[Sauza12]

I beat hard mode, and I got 5 stars on everything but level 6 songs and above.  Some of those songs I don't know if I'll ever get 5 stars on, but damn it I'm going to try.

Also here is my list of songs that make me angry everytime I play them.

Stop - I don't even have any desire to play this song again to get 5 stars.  Not because it's too hard, but because the song fucking sucks

Killing in the Name - What?  How the Hell did this song make the cut?  I need to write a letter.  You know what, you can just count all the songs in this group as shitty.  None of them are any good.  Last Child.  That's the best Aerosmith song they could come up with?

Institutionalized - Not only is this song retarded hard, but it makes me cry a little bit when I think that somewhere out there right now, somebody actually enjoys this song.  Mankind is lost.

Freya - Here's a change.  I actually don't mind the song.  Not exactly my cup of tea, but not bad.  The thing is there is a stretch in this song that bores me to tears everytime I play it.  I can't tell you what it is because the memory of playing it is to painful and I've put a wall around it to keep from collapsing into an uncontrollable mess.

Made In Mexico - These fuckers made the cut AGAIN???  Are you fucking kidding me?

and now the ones that kind of caught me by suprise as to how fun they are

Madhouse - For some reason, this one suprised me.  I guess I just never saw Scott Ian as all that special compared to other guitarists.  But I'm starting to change my mind.  This song is unrelenting and a blast to play.

Carry Me Home - This is another unrelenting song that is just fun to play.  I have never even heard of this song before this game.  Very nice suprise.

Girlfriend - This song isn't all that hard, but I love the fills that are thrown in here and there.  Keeps you on your toes while you're playing it and keeps it from getting boring

Monkeywrench - Play it on expert.  It looks really chaotic, but it actually has a managable chord structure.  If only my arm didn't go numb halfway through the song. 

That's all for now.  I'm going to start expert mode when I get home today, so I'll probably have more to write about later

[den68]

dude Institutionalized is a great song. It's on the Repo Man Soundtrack and I had that puppy in the cassette deck of my car (actually a cassette adapter in the 8-Track player) almost non-stop when I was in high school.

[Sauza12]

Maybe I'm just not giving it enough of a chance, but I just can't see the appeal of that song.  The only redeeming quality of it is that the guitarist has some serious chops, but there doesn't seem to be any semblance of cohesion in what he's playing.

In other news, I decided to try for 5 stars on all of the songs on hard.  Yesterday I got 5 on Stop, Rock this Town, and Carry Me Home.  I still have 2 or 3 songs on the next to hardest difficulty and all of the songs on the hardest difficulty.

[Sauza12]

I got 5 stars on YYZ, Beast and the Harlot, and Freebird yesterday.  5 more songs to go.

Yes it does. Thats a classic line.

When doe sthe 360 version come out?

[Tynstar]

Did anyone see the news that MTV bought the developer Harmonix's? Makes me think that GH 3 will suck complete ass with watered down shit music.

You mean MTV still has enough of it's former self to even know what watered down shit music is?
