Congrats to all the winners. Here is the moment to highlight @@Num14

. It's different version but still really impressive.

  
The songs for this week are:
 

 

This week is a little different. I scrapped random and decided to have more of a personal aproach.

 

Beginner:  The Beatles - Twist and Shout (Chosen by the genius of George, John, Paul and Ringo )

When I was young I didn't liked The Beatles. You know, I was a boy, playing video games, watching JCVD or Arnold, rooting for Rescue Squad led by squirrels. How could I like love songs sung by British? Now, I can admire the guitar work and crazy bass lines. I wanted to select Beatles for this week, as they're one of the most impressive bands, with lots of great songs. This one is fast, tricky and I like it. I hope you will like it as well :)

Intermediate: Johnny Hallyday - Allumer le Feu (Chosen by @@steroma )

You wanted Elvis Presley? You got one! Well, at least the French Elvis Presley! If you're french speaking person you should be familiar with one of the biggest French RockStars.
Song is really fun to play, with hard solo, and it just fits that Beg bass and rhythm I needed for this week. Sorry Int Leads.

 

Advanced: Iron Maiden - No More Lies (Chosen by @@Joey )

@@Joey is a big part of Championship. He was there when most of us started this adventure. As a man who took over his work, I felt that it'll be great to have him select one of this weeks songs. And he didn't let us down with this fantastic choice!
 

Masterclass: Dream Theater - Octavarium (Chosen by @@Nacholede )

I will tell you a story of a young kid. That kid was a big fan of Octavarium. But when Organizer noticed that he wants this song to be selected, said "no, it's too long". But kid didn't want to let it go. He traveled sea, air, space and time. He reached the Organizer, he begged. But he got a task. A quest, to find the Octavarium. Kid dind't waste any time. He started that dangerous adventure. He traveled around the world, he fought the deadliest monsters, listened to the crappiest music, but couldn't find it. And then it struck him. Octavarium was not far away. It was close. It was in his heart! Organizer seeing kid's love towards that song, decided to approve it and select for week 50.
Maybe that's not exactly what happened, but it's almost true :P

 

Rhythm Path:

 

Beginner:  Johnny Hallyday - Allumer le Feu

Intermediate: The Beatles - Twist and Shout

Advanced:  Iron Maiden - No More Lies (Bonus Rhythm)

(Advanced Rhythm is Bonus Rhythm part from No More Lies! You can find it in bonus arrangements. You can't play it in score attack, but still it's better then nothing :) )

Masterclass: Iron Maiden - No More Lies

 

Bass Path:

 

Beginner: Johnny Hallyday - Allumer le Feu
Intermediate: The Beatles - Twist and Shout

Advanced: Iron Maiden - No More Lies
Masterclass: Dream Theater - Octavarium

Have fun!

Struggled with all the songs this week except for Johnny Halliday. No improvements, no videos, nada, nothing, squat, zilch, FA. Going out tomorrow night and will be in no fit state on Saturday to better my scores for this weeks comp. I might post a drunken video of Octavarium... might even be an improvement. Seriously though, practicing the MC songs is not increasing my ability in the slightest. It's no fun whatsoever being in this category.

A New Challenger Approaches!!

So im just going to start in beginner and level my way up, always a good time to work on fundamentals!!!

Never knew playing Twist and Shout could give so much adrenaline

My "DONATOR" Sticker has disapeared :o

 

Happened to anyone else?

@@Rodman 'cause you have new and better one now :P

 

@@then3verend Great scores! Nice to have you here :)

 

 

Ok bass players. As I understand that previously leveling was way too easy, you can now decide to level down (by one level). So if you want to please write it in a post (I'm giving you time 'till end of next week). I truly believe that this is last time we're doing something like that, so think carefully.

On top of that, rules for advancing class in bass path are more strict now. 3x 98% or 99.5% once, to advance.

We will see how things are going to work with this setup. Further changes will be done if needed.

 

I updated previous weeks with final difficulty ratings. Feel free to comment if you don't agree. I hope to post them after opening every new week. Last saturday was busy for me, and I kept on forgeting about that.

@@Mortalo --

 

One time level-down option, and new advancement rules for bass sound perfect to me.  /stamp-o-approval

 

I won't exercise the level down option, even though Int, Advanced, and MC songs are ALL pretty tough for me this week!  So, sticking with MC, that is my final answer.   B)

@@Rodman 'cause you have new and better one now :P

 

 

If you put it that way.... :D  :D  :D   you know how to make things sound good  ;) - salesman???

 

 

For the bass adjustments: Fat stamp-o-approval over here - am constantly on the edge of slipping into bass MC - where i don´t belong - this is fixed now, and... Noony is gonna love you!

 

P.S: not leveling down, thats for sure!

as promised tryin harder on tha riddim as there is competition...

 

still far off

@@Rodman you already had better MM score (page 6 if you forgot) :)

 

Seeing that the possiblity is open, I, as well, am going to level down, myself, to advanced class. Advancing due to Pour Some Sugar On Me just don't feels right.

@@Rodman you already had better MM score

Dementia is a beast ;)
