I don't think I'm ready to do the endless set list yet tho it is available. I have about 650K fans.

I'm finding I avoid some of the cities where I need to get by songs I'm not as familiar with or mystery set lists on Hard until I'm comfortable enough with them (and you don't have a choice, but to pass it on Hard.. like Next To You in Paris or finishing the Los Angeles 12 song set list)

Now that I've finally slapped Suffragette City back in its place on Hard, Vasoline seized the opportunity to make me its bitch.
And on Expert, Trent Reznor is coming back for seconds. The solo gets me every time.

Then at a party recently I had people compliment my Rock Band Skillz on drums saying how smooth I could move side to side, keep the kick drum going, and do actual fills which had some sort of pattern. Not bad for a dude with no rhythm a mere few months ago.

I'm retarded too. I have trouble with off-beat bass on drums. Some days I can do it for a while and some days I can't do it at all. I'm not sure how I made it to Black Hole Sun on expert drum career, but that's where I'm stuck right now. I'm pretty sure my leg will take over on it's own, like L&O says(it does sometimes for short periods), but I don't play the drums consistently enough. I have a roommate, and the drums drive her crazy, so I have to play when she's not there. Sometimes I drag my 360 into my study, close the doors, and play it on my 24" computer monitor, but it's a pain moving it. I really like playing the drums though. It's the only career I have left to beat on expert.

I'm still working through drums on hard, though I hold my own on many of the songs on Expert. I left off on Don't Fear the Reaper and failed during 'Outtro C' right at the very end.. I already had 4 stars at the point I failed... UGGGH.

That's happened to me on guitar a few times. I think it was one of the Police songs. I noticed I'd only three-starred it so I tried again, had four and a half stars and then failed at the very end of the song. Several times. At that point I wasn't even sure how I'd gotten through it the first time.

Medium is just slow/easy enough to where I can take a break from notes and glance up at the next line of the lyrics. The wireless headset didn't work worth a damn. I used the wired one and it worked great.
It was pretty fun. I'll definitely try it again.

Still haven't worked my way up to being able to do Expert/Expert consistently though....so I'm capped at six hundred and something thousand fans on BWT. Expert/Expert is a *#(&% my hat is off to anyone who can do that.

I only do expert/expert on any make your own setlists.
Has anyone, other than Shagrath, gotten 100% vox on expert?

I haven't played solo tour guitar for a while because I had gotten to the final tier on expert and wasn't able to pass any of the songs...then tonight I tried again for the first time in over a month and I finished all of them on the first try except Green Grass...I can only get about 86% through that one, but working on it... so glad to be done friggin' Highway Star...I hate that damn song!

Ok here are some pics of a Rockband night we had. We play the game several weekends per months (at this time it was once a week). Only this time I told people to wear rock gear.
Rocker Chicks
80s Rock
Me (I was going for the Travis arker look
)
Bruce Lee of Rock (This guy is great on guitar)

That was a fun night. I plan on making a mock rockumentary too.
