    So what song were you stuck on the for the longest, or just found to be generally tough?

    I remember it took me weeks to beat Crossroads on Expert in GH1, that second last solo used to kick my ass, and it was before practice mode, so I had to stick the whole song through every time :mad:

    So far I can't do Metallica's One (the first fast solo) on hard. I was very drunk though.

    Playing Guitar Hero 3 and due to being stuck on Tom's Battle on medium, i've went back and 5 starred every song on Easy bar one: Slayer 'It's Raining Blood'

    Absolute bastard.. can't even comprehend how difficult it'll be on Medium or Expert.

    Hell Ya Jim!!!

    I beat it on Hard, current high on Expert is 82%. If I get a chance to practice over the weekend I should do it! Get to 85%, the rest is easy enough!:D

    Well done BE! I can't actually do the start of TTFAF on my own. I get someone to hit the strum bar for the first note then I tap the initial sequence. 24% is my best effort so far.

    One song that's kicking my ass at the moment on expert is 3's and 7's. I have it for the PC and there are LOTS of notes at the start and it seems to get slightly laggy and fecks me up.

    can't beat Slash in the guitar battle on expert, especially when he hits you with 2 star attacks in a row, the amount of notes that goes past the screen while your trying to whammy or repair a string means its near impossible :(:(

    ah no, I beat him on my 2nd attempt on expert. Hit most of the notes but really concentrate on getting the star power attacks. Then when he has loads of notes to hit, hit him hard =)

    Some of the final parts of Play With Me in 80's on Expert catch me off-guard everytime. I'll get my head around them one of these days.

    I tried a couple of times on expert with TTFAF and it's over in 2 seconds! I think i might have ever fooked up my chances of getting it cuz i played the firt guitar hero through without learning the hammer on and pull off techniques (never played it on expert), and i can't get my head fully round them, so... Ah well! Give me the drum kit!

    I'm doing Hard at the moment, and i've breezed through it without issue (though not scoring hugely) but I CANT finish that slipknot song at all. It was like a tenfold increase in difficulty :\ All those damn chord switches have my fingers in knots.

    Mosh 1 in Raining Blood is actually the hardest section I've ever tried to play. It's the only song left on hard to beat.

    Slipknot is also an awful, awful song and took a long time to get past.

    Beat it. Made sure to hit my star powers and clawed my through it. It doesn't help when you really dislike the song.

    I can't beat Lou though. He always gets the first battle power up which always seems to be difficulty increase so I can't hit my power up then he gets another and I'm toast.

    Is Mosh 1 the really fast palm muted string chugging bit? Yeah, that'd be a killer on expert I reckon :P

    Dunno on expert but on hard it's the bit that goes

    Orange-Hammer On Blue-Hammer On Yellow
    Blue-Hammer On Yellow-Hammer On Red

    I just used star power and button mashed it in the end to get through it.

    I cannot get the rhythm for Barracuda at all. The bit with the green notes in sets of threes.

    Ding dig-a-ding dig-a-ding dig-a-ding that bit. Does it not match the music or what because I just can't get it. 3 bloody stars on this song in hard. The only song in the first 4 tiers I haven't 5 starred. It's not even a hard song, just this bloody bit.
