Got a question:"The Rob Zombie song was repaired by customsforge tool. Is this acceptable, or is it a fail?"

[Stark_Knight]

Trying a new strategy since I'm not as active as I was a couple months ago. Doing a few playthroughs instead of just one so I can have a semi-competitive score while I wait for more free time.

 

Customary selection playthrough

 

 

 

Good song but not my style so it took quite a few runs before I was able to play this decently

If you mean you've repaired it yourself then it's fine. I've done it a few times as well to repair songs or just modify the tones and volume. As long as you're not changing the song in EOF then it should be allowed.

Bass time... don't really care about this song but I think it's quite challenging for beginners. 

 

Need to do RR on the two below

I believe it was more fun and realistic, unrepaired. Anyway, Love this song:-) Cheers Butch

The CFSM is strongly recommended to be used to fix non remastered songs -

it fixes the 100%bug as well as missing DD and +5 arrangement errors with one click.

Make sure to enable "preserve stats" if you havent played the damaged song yet to show up in the UBI leaderboards together with the other players!

 

It doesn´t change notes or finger positioning, nor does it for tones or scrollspeed - how was it more fun unfixed then???

[Rodman]

Well... sad news make this a lot less joyfull, still as we do play their songs here all the time i shall tell a few words of this years bandperformances on the NovaRock festival.

 

Top 3?

3) Body Count feat. Ice-T: i really liked the old stuff back in the days, and a lot of that was played, very very tight performance opened with a slayer medley - anyone listening could only have liked the show.

 

2) Passenger: (!!!) what? yes. that single songwriter guy on stage, so un-rocky in front of a rock-only crowd, also unknown as person but then remembered by his only radio top hit "Let her go" that did change his life completely kicked us all telling stories and performing mostly sad songs for a good hour in a very unique way. Is it me getting soft in my old days ;) - well i wouldn´t mind but i really don´t think so - at least i´d not have been the only one. Just a hammer performance - go see Mike if you get the chance!

 

3) Iron Maiden: No surprise - no and yes: well i always managed to miss them until now (like Rammstein also) and already was angry about that... that year it finally came together and i thought - well at least one time on their old days before they retire.... and there is the no. Full Set 2:30h, all old stratocasters, bass and vocals top notch, maximum energy and obviously so much fun playing also all the old stuff of which there is much too much too play. Last show on day 4 - Everyone, also the 17yo kiddos where singing along at fear of the dark, the trooper, number of the beast and run to the hills. I really thought they would be just ok before the show.

 

(4) (The Hollywood Undead): Would have made it to 3 or even two, just i have only entered the stage at their last 3 songs, one of them was a straight to the face metallica/rammstein medley and then obviously 2 of their hits - so i can´t tell about the whole show. What i can tell Metal-Hiphop-Rap-a lot of Metal combo with 5 vocalists and a breathtaking shouting performance.

 

What else?

Everyone was really good this year, and everyone almost made sure to have a lil Slayer, Metallica, Killing in the Name Of in their set (i can live with that). Top 10 does carry by far too few places here. Only some that did great:

Marilyn Manson - gotten fat with vocally the by far the best time i´ve seen him now, for his belongs almost minimal show.

Megadeth - as expected great with a few technical difficulties with the mic on start.

Seiler&Speer - on home turf making 50000+ sing along, nice!

Life Of Agony - he is a woman now (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) The songs come tighter than ever.

Limp Bizkit, Volbeat, Jonathan Davies, Arch Enemy, Prodigy,Killswitch Engage, Billy Idol... very good.

Just Billy Talent, and i like BT a lot, still cool with a lot of young fans but their shows are getting worse, mainly depending on the worse songs coming from the last 2 albums, really interested in how they are gonna manage and whats coming in the next years, sad to see Aaron is slowly losing his fight against MS, only drumming 2 songs of the show.

Best so far... some of the notes don't register no matter what. I also found that even though my guitar is tuned ok (+/-), when I play notes on the 12th fret, it goes to up to +15... It's a cheap ESP guitar.

You may need to adjust your guitars intonation. Loads of guides for this on the net. Here's one I found

 

edit: Changed url the other guide was a bit rubbish

 

When I first set up my guitar I used the harmonic method, were you compare the 12th fret harmonic with the pitch of the string at the 12th fret. I felt this was the most accurate method and it did give good results.

First bass.

Still missing notes all over the place, but it is getting better.   RR really helps with songs like this one.
