With your username, it's a bit odd that JA would be the album you're excited about!

Coulda been better, but there must be something for everyone* there

What a dull list. I'm sure I'll have fun with a few of the songs from those (Stevie Ray Vaughan's copycat blues is kinda okayish I guess and some of the later No Doubt singles were good) but I was hoping for something with a bit more bite and, you know, decent songwriting.
If you're gonna go all out on American rock, why not go for something like The Wipers, Big Black, Slint, Sugar or Rocket from the Crypt instead of the snoozeworthy Foo Fighters or the one-good-song-per-album Chillis?
Here's hoping the next album list is a bit more interesting.

I heard some Supersuckers and they sounded like a complete joke. I know that's the point, but I'd much rather me some Scream, Dracula, Scream. We want rock 'n roll, not raaaaawk.

WHAT?! Like Sugar you mean?Beaster was ok, Copper Blue was melodic ****e with crappy double tracked vocals...just like Dave Grohl uses today.
Scream, Dracula, Scream is alright (and not far removed from Supersuckers stuff actually), helped somewhat by the backing vocals of Mick Collins of the Gories/Blacktop/Dirtbombs, but their previous stuff was forgetable hardcore stuff. They jumped on the Rock 'n Roll bandwagon following the Supersuckers success and ripped off Link Wray for most of the songs.

RFTC's early stuff was still based on the old rockabilly template unlike their hardcore contemporaries, so I'm not sure where you get the idea that they copied Supersuckers. Scream, Dracula, Scream is their best album, but it refined the template, not reinvented it (it's all about the horns baby).
And Sugar were great like all Bob Mould's stuff, mostly for his relentlessly bleak yet personal vision set disguised by a catchy three minute tune. Mould gets that punk and rock n roll were always more than just loud guitars - which is how it should be.

I really want harder, better, faster, stronger & One more time & Digital love from Daft Punk
I can do most songs on Hard just stuck on Vasoline I think.
Once I complete Hard campaign I'll stick to that level for a good while then move upto expert.Last edited by Ouenben; 01-09-2008, 17:07.

Stuck this on again last night for first time in a few weeks. I was stuck on Reptilia on Hard Drums before, kept failing at the section that asked you to do Bass / Red Yellow / Bass / Red Yellow / Bass / Red Yellow / etc I think it was, for ages! I just couldn't make my hands/feet do them alternately so fast. Anyone else have trouble with that?
I managed to scrape by it on my first try this time anyway by just missin the bass pedal out. So nearly failed but I don't understand why I couldn't do it.
I went and done the next two sets of songs after that without failing one, getting lots of 4 stars on some much more complicated looking songs. Lots of off beat bass pedal to drums and double bass pedal beats two that normally I wouldn't have managed.
So I find it weird how I managed all these harder sections yet couldn't still do that one above from The Strokes song!!!

I had exactly the same problem for ages, really it was just a matter of practice and eventually you'll do the whole bit no problem.
