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?

 

 

 

nice (4) cool song with a lot of airtime

 

 

 

... 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.....

 

LORDI party, aye!!!!!

thanks so much!  i already made some cdlcs and it was much more fun making it , 7 seconds instead of 10 , no care about 0.5ms tied notes ,no care about fhps and dlc builder "minor issues"  

i told them that if they will change the rules ill come back  anyway if anyone intrested in future in some cdlcs updates (games.tabs@mail.com) , those are japanese songs that are very fun to guitar and bass also have a yt channel for tabs which i might upload more (now having like sync problem in the app that prevent me to upload more but im fixing it soon) 

https://www.youtube.com/@gamestabs-x5d

A million ways to answer to that post.... i had a very very hard day of cycling and after that a bottle of red wine .... so my clear answer is: out of that downward spiral!!! Demanding the rules to be changed to come back is building walls! From my humble perspective it's fun and community what this is all about (absolutely not saying that we don't need our rules) - so getting driven away by feeling not being able to meet the standards... ????

Seriously? You??

I don't know any background i just know the cdlcs of yours we play SO OFTEN ...

My advice... do the cdlcs as good as you think you can, meeting your standards and please consider posting them here. I .... et al. are not going to search youtubechannels, goo, thedarknet or anything for songs to play... cause this is our home and speaking for myself - no i don't understand asian songwriting a lot lot of the times, but - i love you being a part of the comunity and like your tabs.

@ Rodman  Sounds and looks fun! enjoy your trip and ask razrshred to give the other masterclass competitors some competition! 
the system has an error which i have no idea how to fix so i did the best i could writing the stuff manually downbellow for now and should be ok. 
@ AndreCardoso  looks like youll be freeing some space up on your trophy shelf since it looks like others snatched some of them  grats on the ones you kept though! 
@ Vodka  I was curious and visited week 117 cause I wanted to see who participated that week. Was surprised when I saw a familiar name, didnt know you were almost one of the og competitors!  i thought you joined in the late 200s/300s

EDIT: @ kayteck  bossman helped me understand what the error was and how to fix it for future issues and scores should be registering now

first of all thanks , this is like respectful comment like you did in all cdlcs you commended like for example in my b'z cdlc you have commented and said to fix abit the main riff camera , and maybe make a handshape and of course you was right and it took me sometime but i fixed it , but of course like you understand going to small and tiny details is like the final nails in the coffins for me , in recent years i top up my tabs making by using the best tools possible , like removing vocals , checking the notation , chords , and so on , buying tabs from best musican available online which i ordered for years , and sometimes fixing their tabs for hours because they wanted to make the tab in their own way and not like speand hours over tiny details , one of the reason i do an accurate bass tab is because people have asked me alot ,and about this website i got the complains from the same people who say same things(1 or 2 same users) , before those rules they complained about not having section or unpinch slide , later it was 0.05 ms note tied note touching the end of the notes , later on it was fingering for unknown chords later they found a thing called fhp which is just like saying to me "ok you made a tab , no errors on dlc builder , its dont matter anyway now do a double job to make fhps like we want , and if you have some errors of fhps not showing up then you need to come to our discord and be a regular user there so you can have premission to upload cdlcs)  , sorry i dont want to say anything bad about those rules and mods , but like you seen i followed their rules and what i get is just more and more demands , and i decide to talk nicely in 3rd person and not like blame spesific person , lets hope i wont get more messages from them because i just dont want to keep same talk we are doing for over 3 months

You are doing a great job!

Your cdlcs make the Championship so much better!

Keep it up and just one (no it's 2) very important thing(s): don't let anyone take away the joy of your work, don't go into details you yourself find unnecessary!!!!!!!

so yesterday i went to look at the comments to see if anyone commented anything and found out this championship existed kkkkkdkfhjsk
definitely one of my all time favourites and anthony jackson is amazing

Thats the bigger reason we leave the comments there - great it worked!!!
