£££ Rockband- Unofficial thread £££

The final few songs seem very hard. I had Raining Blood to do on Hard on GH3 and was upto 3s and 7s on Expert. I completed GH2, Aerosmith and RB1 all on Expert and I'm nearly done with GHWT on Expert although I'm not sure when or even if I'll get round to doing it. this will take a lot of practice for things like Painkiller, but there seems to be more of a focus on solos and crazy hammer on sections in this than in GHWT. So I would say it is a different sort of difficulty if that makes any sense?

Yeah that makes sense, to be honest I hate the hammerons on rockband with a passion - I usually just strum them so I'm probably not going to manage the last setlist.
 
Hammerons are easier in RB2, at least they feel easier to me than they did in RB1.

I used to just strum them in RB1 because I hated them but I've either got better or they've made them a bit easier to hit in 2.

Not looking to start a fight/argument (if thats what your thinking...) but what don't you like about the hammer ons?
 
Just tried Painkiller again, 57% this time, but sadly the Wide Tooth Pirates have to retire for the rest of the weekend. Going to take a alittle bit more practice to get through it.
 
Wide tooth pirates lol

Rockbland Heroes is where it's at!

Can you guest appear in each others bands? I'm thinking for the song your stuck on or if I get stuck it may help to have another player or two to over drive save?
 
Argh 4 song setlist listed as from the challenging songs. I figure I can do challenging on expert. First song it throws at me Spoonman. Which is actually in the nightmare list. I finished it I was really pleased, then it throws 'Anyway you want it at me' which I was breezing until a solo that made flirting with disaster look a doddle. It really plays superbly though, even if the solo kicked my arse. From the 45 odd songs I've unlocked so far there are only about 10 I dislike but they still play well. I'm just not fond of the really rapid chord songs that just keep changing from streams of say red/blue one hammer on then a stream of another chord.

Its the marathons you need to do to unlock the songs but it's damn annoying when you fail the 4th or 5th in the set. I feel wyrdo will break his guitar again :p

927,000 fans now. Just want to unlock the venues then play my own setlists until the hall of fame unlocks then I doubt I will ever touch tour mode again :D

Suprisingly the Wide Tooth Pirates is my name and not a Rock Band generated name. My motto for them is AAAARRGH :p Am I sad that I can't wait to get home tomorrow to continue the tour. 927k fans pffft you need top get with the real men Danny :p 12 Mil now :D

During the week we need to get together with me you Wydro, Psymonkee(seeing as he is a fellow Fifer) and possibly Roachycal to kick some be-hind on this game, and hopefully save each other from failing on Painkiller and possibly Visions.

Yeah we should do that. TBH as there are no achieves for finishing tour on expert I will just get to the last marathons and then finish them on easy just to unlock everything.

I'm only doing the tour for the achieves, the same with challenge mode then I will just quickplay it. I can't see me going for 12 million :D

Surely you have unlocked the Hall of fame by now?

I will go back to RB1 as soon as I've got what I can out of it purely because I can rack my status easier. I will load up the RB2 for online playing and for the songs I love.
 
472 stars and 1.7 million fans. Broke the 1 mill barrier and then got 772,000 fans for my next gig. I was wondering how you got to 12 million simo. I figured that was 1000 songs played.

Just did some digging for the hall of fame setlist achievement you need to unlock shanghai and have 450 stars. The setlist rolling stones immortal challenge and you get a clear instrument for every type you beat it with.

Damn, my secret is out :p Yeah you start getting a lot more fans now, usually between 30k and a few hundred thousand. I got one million for a gig the other night as I met the stipulation to get 5 stars average so that my fans quadrupled. Think I'm on 7-800 stars, can't remember how many fans now though.
 
It can be a bit annoying how often in mystery setlists you get the same song. I got the blondie song 4 times in 25 minutes or so. I have 200 odd songs in my playlist and yet it seems to pick the same ones a lot.
 
I did the rolling stone challenge the other day on x-guitar... beat painkiller at the end and the doorbell went during the last chords. Wouldn't let me pause so in a panic I hit the Xbox guide button just as it showed the "keep playing" symbol...

When I got back it was broke, just stuck on the crowd and couldn't do anything.... no achievement, no save...got to do it again.

I HATE BATTERY :/
 
I took a break from the tour the other day and decided to play the challenges, played up to and completed the impossible challenge, and now as a consequence, by back is in a lot of pain. Oh well, will be playing a lot of the tour tonight, still haven't completed a single city, and only finished one venue, but I've unlocked everything up to Sweden so far.
