    No mine's still fine. There is a bit of "gray foam" at the top of the strummer hinge though, no idea what it does!

    Who mentioned WAREZ? All I did was add a rear spoiler and induction kit, though I did drill a few holes in the exhaust ;)

    Im feeling withdrawal already though , got the drum sticks tapping on the desk non stop here with windows media player open in front of me, it's just not the same lol

    Nope, just have nothing better to do :D. That might be an idea for a future run though, I'll keep that in mind.

    Anyway, the first dozen songs out of the way now:

    (FC's in Bold. Silly mistakes caused a few FC's to be thrown out the window)


    Eye of the Tiger
    My Own Worst Enemy
    I Was Wrong
    So What’cha Want
    E-Pro
    Hungry Like the Wolf
    Pretend We’re Dead
    Rebel Girl
    Nine in the Afternoon
    Float On
    Drain You
    PDA

    I'll take a few minutes break after the next dozen.

    This brings back bad memories of my failed attempt recently :mad:

    You'll be fine till you get to the last 5 I'd say unless of course you make the same mistake I did
    Hated Visions so much that you forget about never play it again forget to practice it for the ES2 and then choke on it 3 songs from the end :D

    I took a whole day on my failed try, was about about 10 at night by the time visions crept up on me :D

    Was playing in blocks of 5 or 10 songs , you seem to be making short work of it though 2/3 way through????

    If you get stuck near the end like I did .don't do what I did and rage quit after only 10 attempts at visions ;) Step away and take a break It is doable.

    Just think of the nice shiny platinum icon you will get for your character and how jealous it will make me :pac:

    Edit: I love that song D4rk more a guitar hero one I'd say ;-) but still love to play it :D

    You definitely inspired me to give this another crack, does that nice shiny platinum icon show up for all instruments now or just guitar :confused:

    I'd imagine this one means it's just on the instrument you did it on
