Song: Bat Country

Instrument: Drums

Difficulty: Expert

Opinions: The song is varied, many different beats and fills, I'm not even a fan of the song, or the band, but it's one of my favorite songs to play on drums now.

Perfect Drug, Expert Drums.

Just noticed there seems to be a charting error on this one, not sure how I didn't before. The yellow rolls at the start of the song and leading into verse 2 are constant 16th notes, but it really sounds to me like in the song there are three notes played, a slight pause, then the rest. So it should be YYY YYYY[...].

Song: Medicate by AFI

Instrument: Guitar

Difficulty: Expert

Opinion: The pick slide is charted as a single blue note, I would have liked to see a three note chord for something as dramatic as that.

Song: Waking the Demon by Bullet for my Valentine

Instrument: Vocals

Difficulty: Expert

Opinion: The "waking the demon" is charted as the same pitch as the "walking in shadows," even though the "waking the demon" part is way higher.

Song: More Than Meets The Eye by Testament

Instrument: Guitar

Diff: Expert

Opinion: Underrated guitar chart, and song in general. Very fun main riff, feels natural to play, and the solo is a blast.

9/10

Song: Constant Motion by Dream Theater

Instrument: Bass

Difficulty: Expert

One of my favorite songs in all of Rock Band to play. Despite most of it being a strumfest, it's an awesome strumfest. The pattern in Odd Riff 1 is really cool to play if you can hit it. It gets even more interesting before the guitar solo, and in the middle of it when everyone kicks into high gear. That main bass riff is pretty sweet, too (mmm...donuts). Maybe it's just because I love the song, but I really enjoy this one a lot.

Yay for 1200 posts.

I'm going to post this here, because it would get buried in the official Rock Band forum.

As of late (well, always. But I'm noticing it more now) I've had a problem with a lot of the guitar charting. Not how it's charted per se, but in regards to hammer-ons and pull-offs. I'm sure a number of other people have also grown irritated with the number of strummed single notes in scales and runs, especially in guitar solos. At this point I'm seeing a lot of possibly fun solos ruined by strum notes. I understand the desire for accuracy, but sacrificing fun for perfect accuracy isn't worth making in my opinion. Nobody wants to play strummed triplets because done with hammer-ons is a lot more fun.

If Caprici (for example) were charted accurately, it would be no fun. Because the solos were charted as strings of hammerons, they're extremely fun to play. The best songs are the ones that are fun, and I don't think that a few sticklers for complete accuracy are worth screwing up solos over.

If anyone agrees or disagree, then I want your opinions.

Song: Good Mourning/Black Friday

Instrument: Guitar

Difficulty: Expert

Opinions: The triplet-riff in the "Good Mourning" section of the song is my favourite part to play, just because it sounds nice, and is much less fast paced than most of the other riffs in the song. The solos are frantic, like just about everything else in the album. The strumming is quite tiring, especially at the end. Although, at the end of the day, playing this song will prove to you one of three things:
1. Your calibration sucks.
2. You find this the most fun song in the album.
3. You HATE chord changes.
-----------------
Song: Fat Bottomed Girls

Instrument: Bass

Difficulty: Expert

Opinions: The song overall is slow-paced and easy to play. But, if you take the time to play this song just once on bass, you'll definitely find some fun to be had. There are short, albeit very fun HO/PO sequences that just make the chart that much more inviting. Of course, it helps if you like the song.
