So I got FC numbers 44 & 45 today on Rock Band:
FC # 44 - Foreplay/Long Time
FC # 45 - Tom Sawyer
I've also been messing around on XGuitar over the last few days, and I've had a few big score jumps. More importantly, I managed to gold star all of the "Impossible" tier.  And then today I got my first expert FC for Rock Band:
FC # 1 - Paranoid

Got another two expert FCs on Rock Band tonight:
FC #2 - Mississippi Queen
FC #3 - Maps
Played a few other songs too, and I've got gold stars on them all... but I couldn't manage it on Brainpower. Pretty sure I'm gonna have to learn how to tap in order to get gold stars on that one, and that's not gonna be anytime soon!

Played a few more on the setlist today, grabbed a few more FCs:
FC #4 - Outside
FC #5 - Suffragette City
FC #6 - Reptilia
FC #7 - Wave of Mutilation
FC #8 - I Think I'm Paranoid
FC #9 - The Hand That Feeds
I also had some pretty big score improvements on Foreplay/Long Time and Highway Star. Also, managed to get the gold stars on Brainpower!
Just want a score for every song for now; 14 more to go...

Always fun to see people playing the original on disc still. Nice job on the fgGS, I remember brainpower being such a pain! No room for error, and you have to at least do some of the obnoxious triplets too  TKAR and RTTH were definitely toughies too, so nice work.
Any plans on trying for GSes on RB2? For the most part, not too bad, but the last maybe 10 songs are  .
Not sure how much time you'll spend on RB1 X, but seems like you could probably grab a couple more FCs out of the remaining songs, which would be cool.
Lol I just saw 9 FCs and was gonna say "oh you could probably aim for 20", but if you can get Outside then you're definitely capable of getting at least half game, and more if you really committed.

Not full-game GS'd yet! Still six more songs to input a score on... but thanks, always good to play old games sometimes.
I will be moving to finish off AC/DC next, as I've only input four songs on that at the moment... so 14 to go on there. But after that, RB2 is up. Never played any of the songs on expert, but I know some (like Visions) will be a definite LOLNO to gold stars!!
I'm now on 12 FCs for RB1 XGuitar:
FC #10 - Learn to Fly
FC #11 - Go with the Flow
FC #12 - When You Were Young
From looking at all of the songs I've got a score on so far, I reckon I could get (in the future) at least 33 FCs.

Okay, so I've now got a score for every song, and grabbed three more FCs today to finish up with RB1 for now:
FC #13 - Blood Doll
FC #14 - Nightmare
FC #15 - Wanted Dead or Alive
Creep was annoying to gold star because the strumming engine on Rock Band is so much worse than Guitar Hero, but got it with the last note so all good!
I think, as a safe estimate, I could get 35/58 FCs on XGuitar. Not gonna go for more just now, as I'm gonna move onto AC/DC instead.

RB1 is like GH1 on steroid. it's not that bad but you gotta be on-time. figure out a proper and good calibration is the most annoying thing but once you got it right, you can squeeze it no problem.

Yeah, everything with Rock Band is very precise I find. Strumming is really difficult for me, but never played with lag - not about to either as I think I'd find it hard to keep the proper rhythm.
Finished AC/DC live pack, no FCs, did not get close to some of the gold stars because that's a tough ol' game... too many triplets going on!
Started RB2 tonight, decided to play some of the impossible songs - I can and should FC Ramblin' Man at some point. Got one sightread song outside of the stupidly hard ones anyway:
FC #1 - Alabama Getaway
Need to run through the game to see how many I can get, at least this game has breakneck speed!

Played a little more RB2 XGuitar tonight, and grabbed one more FC:
FC #2 - Spirit in the Sky
I've got a score on all of the "Impossible" songs now, even passed Visions first time (only 4-star score at the moment). This game definitely has harder songs than RB1 (GGAHT aside).

I definitely agree RB2 is a step up from RB1. Sure, some of the RB1 songs are hard, but stuff like Shoulder, Get Clean, Painkiller, Visions and Panic Attack are in a whole 'nother league. I'd still say the easy stuff is on par, though; it's once you start reaching the 60-70 FC range that the difficulty spikes hard.
NIce to see you branching out some more, too! I think you could get a FGFC if you pushed for it.

I'm guessing you don't mean a FGFC on expert guitar... if so, think you have vastly overestimated my skillset lol. I won't even get a FGFC on hard guitar because the chart on Visions is ridiculously annoying.
EDIT:
When I was playing a month and a bit ago, I got up to 13 FCs on RB2 when I had completed going through it:
FC #3 - That's What You Get
FC #4 - Today
FC #5 - Cool for Cats
FC #6 - My Own Worst Enemy
FC #7 - American Woman
FC #8 - Nine in the Afternoon
FC #9 - E-Pro
FC #10 - Kids in America
FC #11 - Conventional Lover
FC #12 - Pump It Up
FC #13 - You Oughta Know

HGFC, is what I think I meant.
ANd honestly, if you can get FCs in GH1, Visions shouldn't be as bad a problem as you think it is. Especially since, on Hard, the strumming doesn't change one bit. You can do eet!

Ah but Visions on hard aches my hand so much which makes me lose my streak and rhythm... GH1 is a lot nicer!
