    I just finished Endless Setlist 2 on Rock Band 2, without pausing and nearly failing on Chop Suey and Panic Attack...

    ...yeah guys, don't do this. Seriously.

    I started around 4 and finished around 10.

    Exactly the reason i never started it. I wish i had six hours to spare. :(

    Not when your last college exam is up next week! ;)

    I have my LC music exam on thursday, but I suppose college could be considered a bit more important. :pac:

    Technically speaking, you can use your experience as "research", me, i have no excuse. :)

    Nope,tape a bottle cap over it so you dont accidentally hit it.

    I'm assuming you're gonna be doing expert guitar on it, so a few tips:

    • Take a massive ****e and a piss right before it. They don't call it the Bladder of Steel award for nothing.
    • Leave some high energy food around you that's not too far out of reach. A drink is optional too but remember, not too much! You don't want to be bursting three quarters of the way in.
    • If you fail on a harder song, you'll be even more sickened since it's a lot further in. I almost failed on Chop Suey and Panic Attack. Make sure you practice some of the songs you know you'll run into problems with later on.
    • If you're any good, you'll be gold starring songs left and right in the first hour or two since the songs are relatively easy. However, when the going starts to get tough, save your Overdrive so it actually helps you pass the song, not to raise your score, just to be safe.
    • Stretch out your fingers/hands/arms and warm up a bit, all of which are going to be aching when you finish this.
    • If at all possible, try to tell anybody that might drop around to hold off for the time you're doing this. You don't want to be sitting there while somebody's banging on the door/ringing you when you can't clearly do anything.
    Hope that helped! Good luck.

    I passed it on my first try and haven't been able to pass it since,I think it was an absolute fluke.


  • Registered Users Posts: 10,599 ✭✭✭✭ShawnRaven


    Bunch of f*cking showoffs! :P


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,586 ✭✭✭cedomination


    That reminds me,I went into HMV with a friend today just to play guitar hero. I (stupidly) picked "Fight fire with Fire" because I heard it was hard. My wrist was burning like crazy afterwards. I had to plug my earphones into the stall thing to hear the music and halfway through I accdentally pulled them out so I couldn't hear any of the ingame audio.
    Still got 91% and a 5* though :D

    This is the chart:


    The game wasn't as bad as I expected but I don't think I'll get it until it's much cheaper.


  • Registered Users Posts: 10,599 ✭✭✭✭ShawnRaven


    Just watched the first two minutes of that. I'm not gonna buy it solely on the grounds that i just know i will either

    1) seriously suck at it or
    2) break yet another guitar controller.

    Bobalicious is the best by far. I haven't played drums in months.

    Can I have "best Vocalist of these parts" award?


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,586 ✭✭✭cedomination


    Cully is the best vocalist but hes not here anymore :p


  • Moderators Posts: 8,678 ✭✭✭D4RK ONION


    Fine then, i didn't want them anyway!! Sniff...Sniff...

    Decided today was the day for this one, wasn't going for the bladder of steal achievement so was picking at it all day. Expert Bass.

    All was going well chop suey took 2 go's, had been practicing battery, ace of spades (always gives me problems) and panic attack in recent weeks and can pass them at minimum of 4 stars.

    You can guess what happend based on the songs I mentioned.

    I forgot about visions :mad:

    Seriously wft abnormality is very suitable name for the band, couldnt get any further than 30 seconds into the ****er, of course nobody else about here is capable of musing more than 3 of the buttons on the guitar with no fail switched on so thats that till i can master visions:(

    I manged to 3 star it just there... barely :(, don't think I have the will to attempt the setlist again for a while :P

    Played it once on expert guitar, 4 stars I think. I hate the song, so it doesn't exactly jump out at me when I'm choosing them...

    I know what you mean , before the endless setlist attempt yesterday, I'd played it once maybe and never again hence me forgetting about it :D

    One things for sure I wont be forgetting it again any time soon :mad:
