let's get started now

 

HAVE A GREAT WEEK!!!!

Be sure to let me know if Long Live The King needs any fixing :)

 

It's perfect as far as I can tell, one of my favorites to play!  I usually warm up with it or Gott Mit Uns.

GN'R and Led Z on the same week! :D That's as good as it gets!http://i1175.photobucket.com/albums/r632/Amund_Filseth/20160403001209_1_zpsfyrbvle7.jpghttp://i1175.photobucket.com/albums/r632/Amund_Filseth/20160403011428_1_zps91eq2nhw.jpg

I've hit the ground running this week!

shame on GnR - this should have been called "worse"

 

lets see what that reunion brings

I'm the only one who enjoyed Chinese Democracy?

I like this

 

This on the other hand doesn't do much for me

 

 

Count me in! I want to join the championships? So to recap I just have to post a picture of my best score on hard for the beginners song right?

@@DragonsBlade Welcome!

Best way it try all 4 songs  - beg, int, adv, mc, and to post your screen there. Then practice on one a song (in your class) and post there intermediate results within a week.

Screenshots must have % accuracy and  streak. Have fun with us.  B)

Look at all the different tunings this week!  I'm going to need more basses. :)

@@DragonsBlade welcome to the championship.

Dammit.  Now you've got me thinking about building another one. B)

Thumb's down. Shame on you :angry:

I f*ckin' hate this song:

 

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B49Qq-EFnmrKZVdzQlpQX09jSjg/view?usp=sharing :D

 

All good with this though:

This?  I'm not this bad, no seriously, I'm not:

 

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B49Qq-EFnmrKMUpGaGVCZ2xkMzQ/view?usp=sharing :(

 

This on the other hand, I got 99% on first go, so I had to give it another go in SA.  I was on for 100%, until I switched off and just didn't play the last 3 notes… d'uh.  Upset?  Much?  Yes:

 

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B49Qq-EFnmrKY09GWjZvWTJZbDQ/view?usp=sharing

 

I like it though.

 

I even gave this a go:

 

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B49Qq-EFnmrKYk1XM29YVmFvYTg/view?usp=sharing

 

It needs work...

 

I'm the only one who enjoyed Chinese Democracy?

 

You are not alone, mate. With all the internal conflicts and band member swapping they have gone through, its amazing that they managed to pull of that good of an album. Of course its not at the same level as Appetite for Destruction or Use Your Illusion, but its damn good non the less

Better late then never:

Happy birthday @@Brutus Erectus!

 

shame on GnR - this should have been called "worse"

Thumb's down. Shame on you :angry:

 

 

 

argh ... come on - the album is completely overproduced ....

only gave it a listen once.... gonna give it a second chance tomorrow ....

 

and just to be clear i love everything GnR did in the (80 and) 90ies

 

 

lead update

Just realized that YouTube blocked the vid I posted earlier so lets see if this works.

Unfortunately due to Guinness and Wild Turkey whiskey I have found it impossible to listen to any loud music today, let alone playing any kind of musical instrument.

Looking forward to the new songs in my new class

Also, I feel like an idiot for asking, but is there anything I need to do to choose my classes? I know I get to choose them in some way. I may have just not read everything closely enough.

Love Silverchair, this is my favourite song! 

http://i.imgur.com/cwFzLgL.jpgAnd i really like Chinese Democracy! This was fun to play but those sweep solos killed me 

http://i.imgur.com/vWl6HUa.jpgI'll give a try to Ramble On later! 

Just the two for the noo: Dexys - http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=659019620 Tricky little bugger. I like this song though so I'll put some effort in learning it :)

 

Sabaton - http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=659019668 Bass sounds really quiet on this, I've got my volume on full whack for everything and I still can't hear it despite being at 10+ decibels  :huh:
