Great week @ Mikson ! I've been looking forward to trying the new RHCP track.

Re: When It Rains, are we using the older version? There is a newer one by TranceXZero but I don't know which is preferable.

Thanks! I've had this older version in my RS library for a long time and I think it's good quality, so I didn't even check the newer one. But you can check the bass path and if it's the same difficulty level, you can use both versions. Maybe I'll check it later myself.

Sounds good, I'll try both and let you know what I think.

Great!!!! Post here which one is better and why!

I checked the newer version of When It Rain on the guitar paths and this is basically the same chart as in the older CDLC. Perhaps some tones sound better. Therefore I will add this version as an alternative, both versions will be acceptable. PS. I didn't check the bass but I hope it's ok too.

Great week overall.

I tested both versions of When It Rains on bass. They are very similar but I think the older version (SmellsLikeMonkey) is better due to superior note recognition and some small nuances (mostly staccato notes that are not present in the newer one). I think it's fine to give the option for either one as you have done in the OP.

Also Black Summer rocks as expected from Flea/Chili Peppers:

Everything else I'll get to later...

Beginner Lead

Inter Rhythm

Some scores:

Score from the first attempt from the past.

Muse is always nice, one of my favorite bands of the new music generation.

Nice song, I'm waiting for the new RHCP album which will be released on April 1st.

Rhythm:

I really like this band, think it's a bit underrated, but maybe because they don't play much commercial music.

@ diceslinger I miss our covercompetitions!!!!!
So to not be able to sneak away i told some friends that i was going to do a cover for the 40st bd of a dear friend of the song that was Nr1 over here the day she was born, and that they will have to join in sing it 🙂 ... So i am caught and there is a lot of pressure cause i am sure it will be shown on her big fat party, or i might even perform it live there...

So you are requested to join in rebooting our contest with the first song:
Spider Murphy Gang - Skandal im Sperrbezirk (there is a good CDLC)

one damn good song.

 

What do you say?

Hereee hereee!!!

 

Our man @ kayteck   has helped and is not stopping to improve all that stuff that goes on in the background and so i am proud to present

the

all new shiny and even more errorfree leaderboard.

Have a look and Rock!

Thx @ kayteck !!!!! - a lot more to come!!!
