As I'm going to when I say that I retract my "punch right in the fucking face" comment from yesterday. I've since realized that solo percentages show up in non-Challenge modes. Basically, if there's a score counter on the screen, you'll see solo indicators. I'm ok with that.
So no percentages or score in modes where you're playing gigs, but playing individual songs or making a playlist and then you get scores and percentages?

I'll admit last night all I played were Road Challenges, and I figured that's just how the game is now.

Yeah, it's like they decided they can only show two stat things at once. So you have 3 categories: stars, spades, and score. You always see stars but whether you see spades or score depends on how you're playing.

Also, no score means no solo percentage.

So, play gigs for the rewards/achievements/goals/fans. But once you're done with them, I think there's really no point anymore. Like World Tour...

Quickplay is where it's at.

The game wouldn't display my preferred band name (Anal Scrape), so I went with a stand-by, If You're Listening...Antoine! I get a kick out of seeing that on the marquee.

Sign up and claim your roles. Open to suggestions on a time.
I can do pro drums, vocals, or a crappy attempt at Easy/Medium pro keys.

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution

Nope, songs stand on their own.

Everything you do in any mode (quickplay, challenge, online) gets you a solo score for that instrument.

Ok, so do we want to try to work something out tonight?

L&O & Gramps need to fight over who does what.

Not sure about tonight - if i'm on then sure, but the kid got some shots today (and has an ear infection) so that might not fly for me.

I did notice on my friend's list.. either a band name was purposely called [expletive deleted] or someone at Harmonix filtered out the bad words.

I can play tonight. Not sure exactly when I'll be on, but feel free to send me a message if you see me on.

they won't let you use something not defined as 'classy'. So it wouldn't even show up on the boards I believe.

If you're free tonight, we don't need L&O. You drum and Gramps can do keys and DethBoxx can sing. We will figure it out.

Just hit me up whenever. I'll be around.
Caveat: there are still a bunch of RB3 songs I haven't even heard yet but willing to try them anyway

Haha, thats cool, I wanted to use a more tongue-in-cheek smiley, but I was too lazy to look one up. I should be on, depending on the time. Gonna eat some food now, but after that I'll be on for another hour or so. Either be playing drums or Fallout.

I did worse than I thought I would when I tried it the one time. I know I got into the red during the "Skaramoosh" part or whatever, but I believe I still 5-starred it.

Yeah a bit after that is around where I fail. Need to figure out where to activate before then, and/or learn it better, see where jumping around to those different vocal parts can be made easier by shifting octaves etc.
