I started practicing in a dark room because of the heat, thinking "it's dark on stage too!". Turns out I'm not ready for playing on stage To me, this kind of song feels like it wants to be way more impressive than it actually is: Sufficient vigor: I was wondering whether I downloaded the right CDLC until I reached the end

WARM!!!!! (To quote Jim Carrey/Ace Ventura in a Rhino). I was just talking about Wild Boyz the TV show with my wife and then this crops up The Lordi song just makes me want a Crunchy bar (Honey Comb/Cinder Toffee chocolate bar).

... the week before i was at seen 25 full shows and a few half (all marked green or half green) Oh boy.... good good music... and one thing that already smelled the taste of last year when seing Palaye Royale then... there is a front if new bands kicking the old masters hard... all have one thing in common - perfectly, almost model-like frontmen (or woman in the case of Poppy) all real rolemodels, styled as hell, real beautiful people..... Rolemodels for the 10000s standing there singing along every word not only visually but carying the spirits of 90s punk - life is pure pain, we against them all etc. conecting massively with the younger crowd..... And then the music begins.... hardest hardest possible metal in any way possible.... and i am in heaven It´s described as Deathcore and more sophisticated new nonsense genrenames.... for me oldschooler it´s esp. in the case of Lorna Shore pure Black Metal partly with Death vocals. But that´s not important. It´s insane to see hordes of 20year olds standing there singing every word of that very special kind of music i have always loved ..... fun times. But in the end almost only great performances .... except Linkin Park - they were there to earn money.... no that´s too harsh - problem is - when evry band after the other performs as if it was to save all our lives ..... just singing the songs is not enough.... sorry Mrs. Armstrong - yes you are to blame first, sorry Mr. Shinoda - good album - subpar live performance, i´d love it the other way around..... But who were the absolute killers? Well.... the old guys still kickin hard at the podiums (i always go with to friends . so here are our best overall performances) Tamara 3. Idles 2. Jerry Cantrell 1. Knocked Loose @ emu 3. Powerwolf 2. Heaven Shall Burn (feat. Britta Görtz) 1. Apocalyptica @ Rodman 3. Knocked Loose 2. Dragonforce 1. Dream Theatre here are some impressions best time of a big festival - afternoon session sitting in the sun, drinking beer listening to hard metal the boot of death? the dragonforce boys kicked so hard some seem to get tired on day 4 ... how can you when Petrucci is there on stage... i was there at row 1 and some just know how to do it.... Can´t wait for NR 2026

Sooo.... Made it to Vienna, 600km, 4100hm, 28:07h, 35°.... right to see the What a ride, what a show. If you ever get the chance to spend a week on a bike to reach a destination i highly highly recommend that. If you get a chance to see the Nails.... also, Rod but there is more.....

I'm a lazy bastard

I can't play this week's song well.

ahhh... i just coudn´t resist and play my fav LORDI tunes Praise the CS i can play along with the Nordic Nerdgods now banging heavily and singing along I just still wonder that they let em win the ESC having lyrics like there in their other songs... "the 2nd whore is on her forth... sir i hate to tell but your daughter needs a sexorcim..." not so much internet back then i guess

Hand cramps!! Speed gives this a 6 real fun to play hmm pointer sisters had to look It up but knew I had heard this before

Alrighty, quite the selection this week and I actually have some time to add some suggestions as well, been a little while! I think it was one miss on this one, a damn 2-3-5 in the second chorus. Tried a few times after to get that 100% but never got past 99.6%. Ah well, nice to have an actual playable version of this song, the original CDLC is a bit crazy! 1. Buddy Holly 2. My Name Is Jonas 3. Island In The Sun 4. Beverly Hills 5. Say It Ain't So Gave this one go, saw the bends and just decided for my sanity to not go back! Kiss are one of those bands that I've been meaning to give a proper deep dive into but there's just so much there. 1. Strutter 2. Crazy Crazy Nights 3. I was Made For Lovin' You 4. Modern Day Delilah (my personal favourite Kiss song from the ones I've heard) 5. God Of Thunder I found the chorus pretty fun on this one but that octave solo, they're bound to use an octave pedal live because those slides were all over the place. I had only heard one of their songs before, Can't Fight This Feeling Anymore, as my sister used it as her first dance song many moons ago. One of the cheesiest songs I have ever heard, not my cup of tea at all but each to their own... This was great fun, hands down my favourite from this week. You've all probably gathered this by now but I mainly focus on the songs that I enjoy playing rather than those in my rank; if I enjoy playing the one in my rank then that's a bonus as there's 'something' to play for but that's not my goal at all, just want to find fun new music! Really cool use of power chords here, especially at the tail end of the chorus. I always forget just how much these guys shred, I had only heard one of these songs before which was the title track so I was just winging this one. Funnily enough, this album had a lot less harmonics than I was expecting from Machine Head. I haven't listened to them seriously for a long time so it looks like I have a fair few albums to catch up on myself... I saw @ Vodka mentioned The Blackening in an earlier post; if you want to get into Machine Head just go listen to that album, it is incredible. 1. The Blackening Album, front to back, start to finish, absolutely phenomenal 2. Davidian 3. Old 4. Imperium 5. Hole In the Sky Best of luck all with your scores!

sweating after this I fluffed my way through most of that good fun though

Congrats @ Vodka !!! you left me in the dust amazing progress whiffed it

stopped dettecting the red string halfway through / couldnt really fix it but i didnt want to repeat the song so i kept going lol. Has some cool riffs in there so not sure why i didnt like it that much. It's probably a lot more fun on guitar.

Hi! I'm back! I saw earlier that @ Rodman mentioned his extraordinary cycling journey, and I can say that a few days ago I returned from a trip during which I reached the summit of Mount Ararat. A great trip to distant lands! After returning I even thought that I hadn't missed any championship week, because the current one started strangely on Thursday, but I saw that the previous one started on Sunday, an unusual situation Anyway, I'm posting the first screenshots, in fact I tested the songs inter and adv a long time ago.

those chords on rhythm spanish guitar are just so hard for me, the ones that show the chord but you play each note separately

Thanks for this week Mikson! had tested this song a while back Was the song i enjoyed most of this week, was like huh this isnt that hard but the ending sure changed that lol. this paths first two chords strummed that way actually reminded me of a song i tabbed for r+ years ago called here before by vashti bunyan (2 semitones higher but close enough). Fun song although i do believe there are some parts that should be tabbed differently on this cdlc. Wish rocksmith would pick up more of the notes when i finger pick cause i can hear the notes but it doesnt count owell.

love this song

ar-brrrrrrr-eggios all the way

what a cool GM song (8)

Oh yes what a run! Seems my guitar missed me too

Bass no more than a 2 here maybe Hammer on - straight 8th notes - finger roll wild boys seems maybe a unfinished chart but does the job one question those are finger pops not slaps right ?? though I suppose you could use what you like 4.5 seems good Techniques pops - muted/ghost notes - slides - hammer on

This week is over! Thanks for competing! New championship week started here:

New championship week will start in about 1 hour!

Almost forgot to post today oops

lead update this song!!!

bass update

And Bass

Rhythm Too easy for 7.5.

I hate that king. I still can't handle the beginning with slides. Still some mistakes because of crooked hands.

what the??

I really liked this version, it's a lot easier to play than the original while maintaining the groovy feeling @ drand you can have it I spent half an hour practising the chorus riff, but it just didn't click. I also downloaded one of the songs from the masterclass album, just to try it. It was fun to play and a good excuse to use my fifth string ^^

I love it, playing like a machine gun And it's easy to get proper scores as long as you spam notes with sufficient vigor

These are so frustrating lol tatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatata not for me

eh pretty good ill do guitar l8r both of these kill me

a lot better

lil +

Hah - did i miss my guitar - so much fun there, glad this was chosen now i have time to compete

ahhh... bangles, nice (4)ish also, not the easiest rhythm and add chords... maybe a tad over DuranDuran?

LORDI party, aye!!!!!

BASS First results of the week (great week). Overall I think the difficulty ratings are good: I had already played this, but a long time ago, so it was good to see the improvement in the score Good version and pretty fast pace.

I tried @ drand @ cacahuate51 I came back trying to equal the 100% but 97.56% and downing a 4 pack of guinness is the best I can do on a saturday night.

Improvements

Wait a second...Do you hear that aswell? I think there is a voice in the air... * play emulated bass and beat drands score, jasmith85 you can do it, we know it* edit: oh nvm she already got 100% gg xD

I tried to get a good warm up to improve my results, but couldn't get any improvement...

Lead completely peases me off. I can't play solo but that's OK. I know it. I accept it. But ALL THE BENDSSSSS!!! I NEED YOU TO DETECT IT!!!! Anyways I must sadly say I will hide for 2 weeks because of vacation.

@ jasmith85 drand needs you to compete in bass :V
