Static x:
This is the second time I've selected static x yet I never listen to them 😅 maybe one day I will. The pads kinda reminded me of silent hill (horror videogame soundtrack) and apparently "Stem" is a track from that debut album, noted for its sample from the horror film Begotten, showcasing their style that defined the late '90s nu-metal scene. Never watched begotten but still found that interesting. Simple riff tempted to rate it a 1 but I havent seen a 1 in years and didnt cause its not all single notes.

Busted year 3000

Since the other version of year 3000 recently got uploaded I thought it was a decent time to headline both songs. I personally grew up with the jonas brothers version, but let me know which one you are familiar with (if any at all). While playing the jonas brothers version I kinda realized its basically the chord progression to first date by blink 182 just one step lower so maybe thats why I like the song.

Jonas brothers year 3000:

Molly Hatchet - Double Talker

Never heard of the band but it had a flame on ignition so i listened to it , sounded like fun, downloaded it , tested it and now its here. Reminds me of superstition by stevie wonder .

Megadeth Tipping Point
Not really my type of music but gotta respect that they keep making music at their age /m/

T-Square - Explorer
Probably the main one I'd actually listen to. It was a song I just randomly found looking at scrams catalogue. Do miss the creator of the psarc, really enjoyed his music taste and was the main reason I checked ignition daily. It's way out of my bass playing skills lol.


Anyways hope you guys enjoy atleast one, i know its not really a themed week but the cdlc seemed decent to me quality wise.

edit: not too sure what causes some links to show the videos, if someone does please let me know so i can make them all show the clip :)

Thanks for the week @cacahuate51!

Same thing happened to me with the videos, what I did to fix was:
Step 1 - Select the link then Ctrl + X to cut

Step 2 - Ctrl + Shift + V to paste the link without formatting

Step 3 - Pray that it works, wonder why it doesn't sometimes, cry, try again

Speaking of Jonas Brothers, this one goes out to all of us bull💩ing our way through those songs we can't play on Rocksmith:

well seems like im stuck at the last part of step 3 cause it still doesnt work :v

yea i remember that video got pretty big 😅 and stevie T also made fun of him.
but tbh, surprised it wasnt just playback as i feel most pop bands do just mime. So in some aspects i respect that, unless he thought the show was gonna be mimed and realized it wasnt xD

Thanks for hosting @cacahuate51 !

Here are my first scores (bass):

I don't think that any note on the 4th fret has registered...

I couldn't even do it at half speed... 😅

Guitar scores (some chords are wicked 🫠):

What's going on here? I win MC Rythm again, and I only played the song once as a sightread. Is anyone else competing there? 😂

Starting with lead scores

It's interesting that the same song was recorded by 2 different bands over the course of several years, and it sounds very similar, but I assume the later one is a cover.

A good band from the 70-80s. I only really recognize a few of their songs, especially Fall of the Peacemakers, as it often appeared on my Spotify playlists. I didn't know this song, but it's also good, though difficult. 7-7.5.

A little surprised that Megadeth is releasing a new album 😮
