GF. Decisions Decisions

Decisions, Decisions, Decisions.
I've got a hard choice to make.
Should I get Guitar Hero World Tour or not?


I lost my confidants in Guitar Hero (GH) after number three. Number one set the standard, where number two improved on it. Then number three came along with mediocre songs, over the top difficulty and crappy boss battles. However with world tour they have sorted out the play list. Here are just some of the songs. The main ones that I know and want to play.
  • American Woman (The Guess Who)
  • Are You Gonna Go My Way (Lenny Kravitz)
  • Assassin (Muse (about time that they got more recognition and aren't a bonus track))
  • B.Y.O.B (System of a Down)
  • Beat It (Michael Jackson)
  • Dammit (Blink 182)
  • Everlong (Foo-Fighters(A blantant kick in the face to Rock Band. They used this in there trailer for Rock Band 2))
  • Eye of Tiger (Survivor(The ROCKY theme!))
  • Freak On a Lease (Korn)
  • The Kill (30 Seconds to Mars(Another jab at Rock Band)*
  • Misery business (Paramore(The right Paramore song to have))
  • Monsoon (Tokio Hotel)*
  • Rooftops (A Liberation Broadcast) (Lostprophets)
  • Spider Webs (No Doubt)
  • What I've Done (Linkin Park (Link Fricking Park!!! SWEET))
  • Hotel California (The Eagles(I always turn this up to full volume when its on))
  • Mr Brightside (The Killers(This is only a download but still))
*These are also available on Rock Band. It would be interesting to see how each game plays.
Another thing that I can thank GH for is introducing some wicked bands to me. I would have never bothered to listen to Avenge Sevenfold, as I seen them as a bit to heavy. But after playing Beast and the Harlot on GH2, I fell in love with their crazy guitar solos and the catchy hooks.

The only thing is the cost of buying another guitar for another game. I already have a full band kit. Do I really need another instrument to take up more space and money? And another game at that point as well? I already got Mirror's Edge and Banjo Kazooie playing for my affection.
Too many decisions.
Decisions, Decisions, Decisions.

One man Rock Band

Desperate times call for desperate measures. No one (well no one in england) had stepped up to my challenge of joining my band. So it looks like I going to need to try and do it all by myself.
The only thing is that I can't reach the foot pedal of the drums. I had the great idea of sitting on it. Well let just say never again. It's also hard to strum both guitars at the same time and virturly impossible to fret both at the same time.
The singing isn't too bad. Which is a good thing I guess. Well it is good as long as I know the words off by heart. I can't be reading the words while keeping track of which notes I need to hit at the same time.
However all in all, I think it could work. Then again, I've always been the optimist =0)

Rockers needed



























Calling all budding guitarist, practicing drummers, groovy basses and rocking singers. I need to make a band. It's coming up to the semi-annual MCM Expo. If you've been reading my blog for a while you know that I went to the last MCM in May and absolutely loved it. Here's a video from it if you haven't seen it already. Now the the big thing for me at this one is the fact that they are doing a Rock Band tournament.
The only downside for me is that you have to have four people. I've tried to to do a one man band and it didn't work. I might post the picture of the end result depending on how I feel. It was a bit of a mess in the end.
But seriously. I really want to enter this. Not even to win it. Just to say I did.
So does anyone want to join me. I know that a certain person is a great singer but I won't drop his name. Just in case his not comfortable to sing in public.
But I'm alright-ish at most of the instruments and don't mind which one I end up playing.
But I do play a mean Lead Guitar. Nudge Nudge Wink Wink.
So yeah. If you want to join and you are in London for the 26 of October send me an e-mail. You can see my address in the box to the right. Go on. You know you want to.
