    What caused you to break the combo there ? Fatigue or loss of concentration? or both?

    Nicely done, what did you cap and sync it with?

    A combination of fatigue (very tiring song) and poopey pads. The concentration was all there for the recording. Recorded on my and my sisters digital cameras (one of which was balancing on a bed post :P), and I used adobe premiere and a lot of patience for the sync. 5 star is for epic justice... or something :)

    Ok so I was bored last night and mention of red hot chilli peppers in the thread about bands who should get a game for them selves tempted me to get a couple of my favorites from the the bloodsugarsexmagic album.

    They really should advertise the face thy have altered the song / censored the vocals :( "Sir psycho sexy" is ruined because of it, Even if you didn't know the song you be thinking hey wait a minute why did the vocals cut out all of a sudden. Entire passages are muted out of it. Now I did know this song would get censored at one part and know why the rest was cut too.

    But I didnt think it would be that bad. This will teach me to research before I buy, which i normally do.

    End of rant.

    Amazingly, in 'Rock Your Socks' by Tenacious D, they left in a reference to a certain sex act....

    2.40 for the impatient among you ;)

    Haven't played the tour mode online for a while , but have they changed it so that you dont fail out so quick if people leave/disconnect in the middle of a multi song set?

    Was playing let there be rock in a full band there , and just before it started the bass player and drummer quit :eek: song 5 of a 5 song set :mad:

    Was pretty funny cuz for really long stretches there is no guitar so the kid had to sing with no music :D we 2 stared the song ;)

    Um.... assuming the song is in Rock Band 2 and I've unlocked it I should have a crack at it either tonight or saturday morning, depending on how well the baby's sleeping and how charitable the wife is feeling with the telly. But don't expect much, I'm still playing through on medium to get to know the songs...

    If you haven't got it unlocked you'll find the code for unlocking all songs (temporarily) in the score thread. Medium is grand ;)

    Any tips on Rockband calibration? I was playing the Beatles game earlier and the difference is shocking compared to Rockband 2. I'm using the GHWT wireless guitar.

    Yo yo. I should probably put a bit about this in the FAQ. When I need to calibrate there are a few steps I consider.

    1. Plug your 360/whatever into an old CRT TV. Play a song and do the calibration test and see if there's any lag. There shouldn't be if you're on a wired guitar, but you might find there's a bit on a wireless guitar. If this is the case, you've found your problem. Go you. Other wise...

    2. So, it's not the instrument. Plug your HDTV back in and try the calibration tests. Do it about 3 times, record the results, take the average, and manually set it to that. Play a song. Is it working? Great! No? On to...

    3. This is what I use. It's very helpful, and can be the most accurate. You'll need a friend.

    Had you calibrated in RB2? If so, maybe set your B:RB settings to those numbers manually.

    What kind of TV are you using? I've noticed I get more lag when I play on my brothers 32" TV than when I use my own 22" monitor (I get 0 lag on that)

    Exactly what I was thinking! That was a long time ago. Nearly three years, iirc, which I'm pretty sure I do.

    Does anyone know where I can find a complete list of goldstar cutoff's for RB?
    Tried score hero but that only seems to list the highscore and if it's a GS not the actual cutoff score. It's getting a bit tiresome watching youtube videos or doing the math on the fly when I get 5* then x 1.4 that to work out appro goldstar score :o

    Sorry man, I would've said ScoreHero was your best bet. Other than google can't think of anything.

    They were simpler times, to be sure! When GH2 reigned supreme and children respected their elders.

    And there were none of these fancy GH&RB forums ;)

    I remember my first time playing it as well. It was when Guitar Hero 1 was brand new and unheard of. I played it on easy. I just pressed the buttons, I didn't know that I had to strum at the same time :o

    Ah I remember when I was a youngster of 31, on my way to the Velvet Revolver concert when out of the window of HMV a bright and spangly white Les Paul did shine... and then after I'd parted with my cash I found out that the Wii version of GHIII didn't have DLC and you didn't get Slither on the disc even though it was in the ads. Sons o' beaches.
