The Rock Band Thread vol.2: Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

[Corazon de Leon]

A Dream Theatre tune is a Spotlight this week, not sure how I can get any half decent score out of that. Wish a top tier axe man wouid join, where is Pred when you need him?
Bulls on Parade, by Rage, and a newly released tune by a band I’ve not heard of (featuring Tom Morello though) are the other two.

You'll have the Morello song from later today. Hopefully the DT song isn't Constant Motion, I'm decent at the rest of them but hate singing that one.

‘Metropolis Part 1 - the something and the something’

Ah that's the on-disc song, it's randomly been charted to devil tier singing difficulty but it's not that difficult. Only issue really is that it's ten bloody minutes long.

This week's DLC is up for you now Buff, if you want to grab the Pretty Reckless song. Remember Taylor Mommsen, the actress? She's their singer.

[Buffalo]

…never heard of her! Had to IMDb it

[Corazon de Leon]

She kinda had a few years of being quite big and then decided she was gonna be a singer and retired from acting. Seems to be making good dollar and the band aren't awful so good luck to her.

Also FYI mate, got gifted a big MS store card the other day and pounded out some more DLC. Have a wee look if you're interested in the following:

Aerosmith Pack 3(it's got the Armageddon song on it and some other big tunes)
Queen Pack 3(I think? The one with Radio Ga Ga on it)
Off the Charts Pack 01 (Fall Out Boy, Elle King, etc)
CCR pack 2 (the 3 song pack with Lodi, Susie Q and Have You Ever Seen The Rain)
Paramore - Ain't It Fun
Backspacer (album) - Pearl Jam
AFI - End Transmission
AFI - Beautiful Thieves

The bottom three are all in this week's challenge. If you're wondering why I'm downloading a load of guff, it's because I'm trying to get some of the bigger packs. Think next month I'll grab the Marley pack and some of the Hendrix DLC that we haven't touched yet.

Also! Just recently passed 1600 full combo/gold star songs, with AFI's Beautiful Thieves. Currently well on target for 2,000 by the end of the year.

[Buffalo]

Excellent, there are a few there that we’re on my wish list. Gonna play a few hours today then more on Monday.

[Buffalo]

I can do Bulls on Parade ok but the other 2 are too hard…Dave?

I'll see what I can do although it looks like a hard week! I like The Pretty Reckless so I'll grab that and I think I'll have all 3 songs this week then.

Luckily it's week 2 so anything should see us go up.

[Corazon de Leon]

The app now has leaderboards for brutal mode stuff, which is great. Currently sitting weirdly high given how little I bother with the game mode - 93rd for crimson stars, 34th for on-disc songs score(I've done less than half of them on brutal mode! For comparison, I'm 19th on the normal leaderboard) and 124th on all songs score(for comparison, 111th on the main leaderboard for that, with around 300 million more points!).

Been doing some good business on the proper leaderboards as well, moved up to 69th(lolzers) on full combos and now at no. 100 with a bullet on gold stars. Would love to get everything up to top 100 quality!

[Buffalo]

I can’t get the app working for love nor money.

[Corazon de Leon]

Apparently it's absolutely your luck whether or not it'll turn on, it's an absolute piece of gooseberry fool.

[Buffalo]

Apparently it's absolutely your luck.

Excellent, I have literally none.

I think the person who made the app left Harmonix about a year after Rivals came out. I usually am able to get it to work but now it's saying I'm not in a crew any more. Unless Buff has gone mad with power.

[Buffalo]

I haven’t been able to get it to work for about 2 weeks.
Your place is safe…if you put those spotlight scores in.

It did that to me last week, don't worry about it!

[BID0]

Done! I skipped the missing drum one as we were at 80% and my drums are in storage.

Looks like next week we can be promoted and maybe take a week off when it's more difficult?

[Buffalo]

Works for me. We’re never getting to bloodstone with our current roster so let’s do that.

[Corazon de Leon]

Agreed. This week’s DLC tunes are woeful btw.

[Buffalo]

Cheers for the Spotlight score Chris but we need more from you and the breddas in that department while I’m working on XP. One of the tunes is bloody Dragonforce

[Frank]

I've only got the one song Holding off on the spotlight pass until I know there's some good songs in it. Last season's was a bit of a waste.
