My path:

Activate OD at the first opportunity every time.

There's got to be something better, but that's what got me my 1st place score. *shrug*

If there's a better path, I haven't found it.

I'm pretty sure it's the way to go, but I don't remember what I did to get my current score.

Like all the other songs, I'm having trouble with the talky parts in this one. In particular, I can never get better than okay on "cause it knocks you off your feet, ha!", which is important for OD. Any tips on this one?

Like other songs with talky parts, I find turning down the mic sensitivity helps.
Unlike other songs with talky parts, I find saying the words exactly at the right time works better than saying them early.

Hope that helps.

also, the words written out are longer than the phrase, so learn the timing and say them during that time, and not when the word lines up with the bar.

I actually got it once this afternoon after posting, and luckily got enough points from the rest of the song to gold star.

I also FCed Nightmare once but used the wrong path, resulting in no GS. I was unable to get through the talky parts on subsequent tries.

Is it me, or is the last "It's it" before the guitar solo really hard to hit? I don't know what's up with that phrase.

The "rubbing mic against pant leg" trick works great for the talky parts in this song.

I didn't rub out the second half of the song on my FC run because my arm got tired (!?), so I spoke all the "It's it"s. I almost didn't get that last one before the solo, but I really emphasised the last "t" sound, and the pie jumped the rest of the way.

Yeah, I got the FC. I don't really remember the run, though, so I'm not sure how much squeezing helped.

I *did* have the Awesomeness slider all the way up, though.
