Oh, I can wait.

I have a problem with the long rolls. My hands think that they can only hit one note at a time, and not let the stick bounce for two

I didn't use rolls to pass it. IMO the surface of the pads doesn't really allow for proper rolls.

Woohoo! Passed Reaper on hard, then promptly failed that damn Police song. After that I passed the other songs in Moscow first try, then re-attempted the Police song and completed Hard!!! Stupid Reaper, had to save full overdrive and then use it the second time it came up in Outtro C. I then was able to finish the damn thing.

I hated the outros on Reaper too

So Porieux - you're making it that far through expert without rolls? That gives me hope!

Yeah the rolls are easier than real rolls, but the timing is tough.

I have to admit, I did turn on left flip for Foreplay (expert), and then when Long Time came up I paused and switched it back. I don't consider it cheating since the option is right there in the pause menu, and since a real drummer can arrange their drums however they wish (though not usually in the middle of a song LOL).

This may not help that much though. The reason it helped me is because I have a really rapid fire right hand from playing real guitar for many many years. Worth a try though.

Geez, with porieux's mention of DVDTalk leaderboards, I got excited. Then I saw that it's only an achievement point leaderboard .

Update is live on the 360! I was asked where to save a new download content file (for caching) and it took the standard time to load my content. I exited to the dashboard and came back in and the "loading content" box only came up for about 1/2 a second. So nice!

The online music store is pretty sweet too, and I hope it pushes a lot more DLC sales for Harmonix. I'm sure a lot of people (casual gamers) don't know that there are new songs every week or how to get them from the dashboard easily. This will help streamline that.

So does the new store let you preview the song?

According to the screenshots I saw yesterday, it does. Major feature.

I'm stoked for the update. I'll download it when I get home tonight.

I tried it this morning. It lets you listen to the song. It doesn't show you the note charts or anything.

Forgot how much fun Enter Sandman was.
I'm stuck on Fallout Boy and Detroit Rock City on expert drums right now. Man I hate that Fallout Boy song. I'm pretty sure I can beat Detroit Rock City though. I just have to get my rhythm down.

That'll probably increase their sales even more. If you're right there previewing the song, you're more likely to make it an impulse purchase.

Which means my DLC post still has validity. Maybe the difficulties aren't as important anymore, but the youtube links are still warranted for some people before they'll make a purchase.

Those were the two I initially got stuck on, but managed to bash out Detroit Rock City after a few tries.

the FOB song took me months to beat, I couldn't handle listening to it for more than once in a row, so it took me ages.

Each song can be purchased individually for $1.99 (160 Microsoft Points) or all 6 can be purchased as a pack for $9.99 (800 Microsoft Points). They will be available next week through the Xbox Live! Marketplace, and through Sony's PlayStation Store.
Holy Crap at super-secret DLC!!

That should satiate you classic-rock-heads for a little bit, to say the least. I know I'm in as well!

Hell yeah! Very pleasant surprise.

Glad I didn't pull the trigger on the classic rock pack in GH3 like I was thinking about doing a week ago...now the Journey song is the only GH exclusive.

EDIT: Saw this on YouTube, should be fun - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UGLuA1cnB04
