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

[Buffalo]

You will when we need your guitar and bass score to get promoted. I’ll wire you the bloody money meself.

[Frank]

Does the challenge starts at 7 or 8 UK time? I never remember

[Buffalo]

8

[Corazon de Leon]

With 2 of them, surely? Monkey Wrench and Arabella?

I only have Monkey Wrench through you, funnily enough.

If you want proof that they don't think the challenges through at all, consider that the song Rooster by Alice in Chains was released in the year of the Monkey, and would therefore have been legitimately perfect to go in as a challenge song.

[Buffalo]

Nobody here bought Colour and the Shape?! Wow. I’m not even that big a Foos fan but it’s a prerequisite surely?! Great Rock Band stuff.

[BID0]

I think I have that one because it came with a season pass one time

Good because I’m trying to play it now and it’s too hard.
Put 2 Cake scores in though (who I think I might quite like).

[Corazon de Leon]

Cake are pretty good. They're peak 90s alt.

Put in my spotlights. I think we have a decent chance of going up with another week like last week, we're just gonna need drum scores from someone.

[Buffalo]

How much longer are you going to be online? Got a couple of hours in me yet if you want to pair up.

[Corazon de Leon]

I'll be on and off for the rest of the day but I'm technically at work till 6pm so need to be available in case someone phones.

[Buffalo]

Skiving like a boss, love it!

[Corazon de Leon]

Oh yes son.

MAde a start on the short songs to rack up some LP and it seems to be going OK so far. Some belters in there this week as well.

[Frank]

Man, Monkey Wrench is fun to play

[Corazon de Leon]

There's a team strawberry floating going for it this week, already sitting on over 2m LP.

I tell you what by the way, if we can get a drum score in on Comfort Eagle and guitar/bass scores in for Monkey Wrench I reckon we'll have a decent shot at this!

[Buffalo]

I used to play that and Everlong in a band many moons ago now, and I was worshipped as a god! There’s something about high energy drumming that everybody finds irresistible. Great stickman, young Grohl.

[Frank]

I still can't do Everlong on Rock Band Too wild for me

[Buffalo]

Ah it’s just semiquavers man…lots and lots of them
This Cake spotlight tune has a nice groove, actually - you should download it and put a score in, yessir.

I found it super chill to sing as well, couple of nasty little ESFs to get the best score but a nice vibe about it. Good DLC choice from HMX, for once.

[Buffalo]

What does ESF stand for?

[Corazon de Leon]

End Squeeze Full. It's weirdly hard to explain but here goes! Means you don't sing the first half of the phrase, activate overdrive in a window halfway through, then get the full bar filled in the second half of the phrase. Being able to do it consistently separates the quality vocalists from the pretenders, it's still something I have an issue with!
