Question: How do I unlock the full version of Devil Went Down to Georgia that I can play in one player? I don't want to have to battle Lou every time I want to play the song.

You don't. It's a battle only song.

wtf, Activision

I got 81% of the notes hit when I tried it in practice on Expert.
I would be able to beat it in quick play if it wasn't for the beginning part.

I played it on Quick Play on Hard and got 87% through and died.

I feel bad.

I watched a video of it and then I was envious.

The begining on expert is a lot easier if you just tape down the green button.

Oh thanks so much for making me feel good about myself.

You know, after actually getting GH, I can see where Jon was coming from when he said getting 100% is kind of a waste of time. I'd rather just play.

Tried it. Rubber bands are easier.
I found out my tendency is to add my fingers when going to higher notes, waiting until the the last second to release the lower fretted finger. Since there is a green in between every note, I never leave enough air time to get it.

Acekirby · **Posted:** Tue Nov 06, 2007 4:28 am

I think I've decided I'm going to just play TTFAF on Easy from now on. I can beat it and do it well, with enough challenge.

Gonna start my Medium Career and see where I go from there. I'm pretty good at Medium (always over 85%), so let's see how I do.

You think that's bad...

iKipapa · **Posted:** Tue Nov 06, 2007 4:39 am

Well, I beat Before I Forget, four-starred Cult of Personality, beat Cliffs of Dover, and Number of the Beast, but I still can't beat One or Raining Blood on Expert.

Which is strange, because I ran through both on Quick Play earlier today, and I passed both of them.

Not happy.

Getting 100% is just a cool bonus that shows that you were able to beat a song flawlessly. Plus I like how the gold stars look

I finally got GH3. I'm a little dissapointed with the graphics (I have the PS2 version) but the gameplay/songs are for the most part, awesome.

All old songs that I've never heard of. F--

HHFOV · **Posted:** Tue Nov 06, 2007 10:19 pm

If I know anything about you, Teff, it's that your musical tastes cannot be used as a standard for what is good. I'm sure many of us here concur.

Anyway.

Most of the new songs they choose for Guitar Hero suck horribly. And the classics all have good guitar.

hhfov: good vocabulay

Truly the greatest set list ever....Except Whole Lotta Rosie, you could seriously choose a better AC/DC song than that.

Switch it with the Beatles as the last song before the encore of that tier, and make the song "For those about to Rock"

The Noid · **Posted:** Tue Nov 06, 2007 10:24 pm

Plus they snuck in an AC/DC song that's awesome for guitar, EXTRA CREDIT.

Teff you have to like this kind of music to begin with. That would be like me flaming Singstar because I don't like the genre of music it covers.

isn't that what we're doing anyway?

Also, Tef, when it comes to music, you do Suck.

The Experimental Film · **Posted:** Tue Nov 06, 2007 10:34 pm

Apparently everyone on the internet is incapable of listening to music that's not metal and/or released after 2000.

I'm not 100% how this relates to the issue of HHFOV [s]being a Bad word.[/s] Bad word isn't the right word but I can't think of one

Stop saying Bad word. We could come up with something better.

HHFOV · **Posted:** Tue Nov 06, 2007 10:37 pm

No, it's more that EVERYBODY here disagrees with your musical taste, not just me. I mean, you had Buy You a Drank as your ringtone.

Come on now.

That's enough now Teff.

The Experimental Film · **Posted:** Tue Nov 06, 2007 10:38 pm

So the fact that I enjoy r&b but not classic rock means that my musical tastes are worthless and I can't be listened to when we discuss Guitar Hero?

Hmm.

extremejon09 · **Joined:** Mon May 10, 2004 10:28 pm **Posts:** 4675

Hmm.

Considering that Guitar Hero's premise deals much more primarily with classic rock and usage of guitars in aforementioned music, at least moreso than other genres, yes. Moreover, r&b has, in previous editions of the game, not been encompassed and would not follow the tendency of the games.

Who said anything about wanting r&b in Guitar Hero? That would be ridiculous.

I'm just saying that I don't enjoy classic rock at all and wouldn't enjoy a Guitar Hero that ONLY had classic rock. It wouldn't sell well anyways.
