sukergod - #1. System of a Down (Self Titled)

**sukergod** · Posted: Sat Jan 30, 2016 4:22 pm Post subject:

Played last weekend and finished off the main setlist with these:

FC#34 - Mana - Oye Mi Amor
FC#35 - Big Country - In a Big Country
FC#36 - Dire Straits - Walk of Life
FC#37 - Swingin' Utters - This Bastards Life
FC#38 - Jimi Hendrix - Crosstown Traffic
FC#39 - Roxette - The Look

I then had a really good session last night and managed to get some really good FC's

FC#40 - Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody
FC#41 - Foreigner - Cold As Ice
FC#42 - James Brown - I Feel Good (I Got You)
FC#43 - Night Ranger - Sister Christian
FC#44 - Juanes - Me Enamora
FC#45 - Pretty Girls Make Graves - Something Bigger, Something Brighter
FC#46 - Rilo Kiley - Portions for Foxes
FC#47 - Tokio Hotel - Humanoid
FC#48 - Bob Marley - Get Up, Stand Up
FC#49 - Joan Jett - I Love Rock 'n' Roll

Leaves me with 14 left which I dont think I will get. the only options to at least get 50 is pretty much Du Hast. I could possibly fluke into Dead End Friends. It's funny cause I can get easily in the mid to late 50's if I used to key-tar but that's not what I want to do here. Blows that I can't even get I Need to Know; has a dumb sweeping part at the end of the guitar solo that is impossible. Also blows seeing percentages in the 60's on songs but who the hell can even do them Roundy and Antibodies.

Regardless, I think I will practice Du Hast a bit to see if I can get consistent with the ending part and hopefully get that 50th FC. In the meantime, I will go through the Blitz setlist and then into the vast amount of DLC.

Great times

Worked through the Bltz set list over the weekend, ending up with 14/19 FC's

Blitz FC#1 - Blink 182 - Always
Blitz FC#2 - Shinedown - Diamond Eyes (Boom-Lay Boom-Lay Boom)
Blitz FC#3 - Elton John - I'm Still Standing
Blitz FC#4 - Rick Springfield - Jessie's Girl
Blitz FC#5 - Maroon 5 - Moves Like Jagger
Blitz FC#6 - Barenaked Ladies - One Week
Blitz FC#7 - Pink - Raise Your Glass
Blitz FC#8 - Tears for Fears - Shout
Blitz FC#9 - Avenged Sevenfold - So Far Away
Blitz FC#10 - Foster the People - Pumped Up Kicks
Blitz FC#11 - fun - We are Young
Blitz FC#12 - Iron Maiden - The Wicker Man
Blitz FC#13 - My Chemical Romance - Sing
Blitz FC#14 - All-American Rejects - Kids in the Street

I should be able to get Stronger with a bit of luck (there is an alternating part 3/4th's into the song that I can hit rarely. Give it Away has some nasty parts towards the end of the song that are very quick and unexpected; so I may not get those. The other 3 I won't get so I'm not even going to bother :)

I played 1 of regular DLC song:

DLC FC#1 - Tommy Tutone - 867-5309 (Jenny)

I think i will do the 20+ RBN songs I have first to get them done before I really move into the DLC I have.

Probably won't be an update for a while, cheers

Nice little bump to update that I finally got to my 70th Rock Band 3 Expert Guitar FC

I have had such a hard time trying to get to 70 (been stuck on 69/82 for close to 2 years) so it was a surprise when this happened all of a sudden. I could never get the trill lane parts before the solo and after all in one run.

Needless to say, I'm super happy to have finally got this. It's also somewhere around #1331 for total Expert Guitar FC's which is exciting. I still know I won't get to 1500 until I buy Rock Band 4 (which I don't want to buy a new system for).

Cheers for reading!!

Just wondering, why do you not include Beatles with the total? And also, what 2 songs do you have for TB:RB dlc?

They are included with the overall total, but separated since they can't be played in Rock Band 3. I'm a bit odd like that :)

The 2 i dont have are the Abby Road medley simply because I hate getting up to The End and missing (multiple times), and Within You Without You, which has some snazzy doublet parts (IIRC). Songs I can do, but just a pain basically.

Ah, I see. I thought you were doing them on-disc x)
and yeah, Abby Road Medley is a pain. Not sure about Within You Without You since I've never seen the chart.

I don't own Rock Band 1 and my Rock Band 2 disc got scratched up about a week after I bought it (a few songs don't work), so it's easier to just play everything in Rock Band 3 :)

As for an update. Been playing a few times a week over the past month and have made some progress. Currently my totals are now this:

Rock Band 3 - 1381/2031 (+34)
- Rock Band 1 (47/55)
- Rock Band 2 (56/79) (+1)
- Rock Band 3 (70/82)
- Rock Band ACDC (8/18)
- Rock Band Lego (38/45)
- Rock Band Green Day (38/43) (+3)
- Rock Band Blitz (14/25)
- Rock Band DLC (1035/1534) (+30)
- Rock Band Network (75/144)

Rock Band Beatles - 71/ 73
- Rock Band Beatles (44/44)
- Rock Band Beatles DLC (27/29)

Gives me a grand total now of 1452 Expert Guitar FC's. Most of the FC's were songs I had not played yet like most of the London Calling album and the horrible Bob Marley songs I'm not sure why I bought, lol.

Hitchin' A Ride was easily my best FC and #1450 to be exact. Played it randomly and hit the solo (missing up afterwards), so I tried again and got it. Smooth Criminal was a real pain. The whole song isn't to bad, it's just that little dumb HO blue/orange - blue part at the end of the song. Happy to finally get Night Lies; I hate when I have FC'd a song in Rock Band 2 but not Rock Band 3 (looking at you Brainpower!!!). Finally managed to get those dumb descending part after the solo :)

Only 48 songs away from 1500. I'm not really sure how much I can get from my remaining songs. I will get to 1500 but it's going to be a real grind!!

Cheers for reading

Hitchin' a Ride has such an awkward solo to strum. It's fun when you hit it and aggravating when you miss! 70 FC's is nothing to scoff at, good work.

So I haven't really played any music game over the past year. I have managed to play a GH game or two to try and finish of the Hard set list but that's about it. Since I still don't have an Xbox One (waiting till the new one comes out so I can get a One for real cheap as I only want it for RB4), I figured I would try to find something to peak my interest in Rock Band again.

What I came up with was to celebrate the amazing country that I live in and play songs exclusive to it. First thing I noticed was the sever lack of songs that HMX has put out by Canadian bands. Save for Rush there was barely a few dozen different bands. How can we have 1 song from the late 90's era alternative scene; 0 from Our Lady Peace, Sloan, The Tea Party, Moist, Big Wreck, and Levitate is the only one, ugh.

Anyways, there are a ton of Canadian customs out there so this give me something to do and a great way to celebrate Canada's 150th Birthday :)

Here is what I have done so far:

Rock Band Canada (9 total - 5FC's / 4 GS's)

Bryan Adams

Rush

Sum 41

I had most of these done but getting an FC of Fly By Night again sucked. Tried for half and hour to get Levitate by I Mother Earth again, but couldn't get that.

Cheers till later

A fellow Canadian! I agree, there should be more Canadian music! Our Lady Peace, Tea Party, Tragically Hip, Sloan, Matthew Good Band would all be great additions. I know there was a Tragically Hip song on RBN but I feel like they have so much more they could add like Little Bones and maybe one of their slower songs like 38 Years Old.

Update #3 - 2017/08/20

Have not had much time to play as the summer is coming to an end and that means work starts up again in September. House stuff is the priority right now. On the Rock Band Canada front, I have 14 more songs played, all of them being Rush songs (besides the Neil Peart song which is kinda like Rush). After playing through the 2112 suite I was in no mood to play it again. Once I have those 3 done I am finished Rush (at least until I play through the 60 or so customs). I got another 10 FC's so thats great!!!

Next update will get those 3 done and continue with the HMX songs. I made a rather large list of those and some RBN one's and need to buy a few to have a complete list (I think it 24 or 25 songs). I don't have any intention of getting really stupid RBN metal songs (save for the few I really like). Should be quite a list to work through. Once that's done, I'll start to work on the customs that members of CCC have put out, can't wait for that :)

Here is what I did this update

Neil Peart

Rush
