Great video, looks like you guys had a lot of fun. You have to give credit to anyone who will get up and sing in a group like that.

It was indeed fun. I actually give Spider mad props for his singing. Everyone else was singing all quiet and shy. I think Spider and i were one of the few who were willing to belt it out talent be damned. Thankfully nobody stuck a camera in my face during my rousing renditions of Franklin's Tower.

Yeah! That's for Grizzly.
*sniff sniff* What's that I smell? Could it be...victory?

More Than a Feeling (Expert) - 163,975

I won't lie - it took a while to get that score on Grizzly, and I've only got you by about 1,000 points. On a serious note, it's fun to have a rival. It makes for some fun competition and pushes me to try harder.

No shit! I'm even ashamed to sing by myself.

Good stuff, guys.

Sorry - the full title is "Time Sick Son of a Grizzly Bear" by The Mother Hips. Much easier to just type "Grizzly".

I was like that at first. I eventually decided (back when playing Karaoke Revolution with my extended family) that if i bit the bullet and belted out some song with a good deal of conviction and very little talent then everyone else would join in. My theory was everyone thought, "Well i can beat the crap out of that performance!" and then other people would pick up the mic and everyone had tons of fun. You just need one person willing to make a fool of them self first.

My poison was an awesome performance of Sweet Home Alabama in Karaoke Revolution. I also subscribe to the theory that i should make up for a lack of talent by having a good deal of volume.

Suck my Canadian balls Gramps!

I have yet to try More than a feeling on expert - hell, I can't even pass Wave of mutilation on expert yet - I've just passed the first tier I just happened to be able hit the groove with Grizzly Plus, it's a pretty easy song.

Yeah, having people on the leaderboards ahead of me in the friends section does help me want to get better. There are some songs I absolutely suck at, but I know i can do better. But, the Grizzly fight is on now. I'm not going to watch Lost tonight because of you now - it's all about breaking your score!

I will break you!

I'm watching a hockey game tonight, so I'll be missing Lost too. But that's why God made Tivo. Anyway, I look forward to more challenges from you. I have no doubt that you can top my score on Grizzly Bear. Our battle shall rage on!

Foreplay and Highway Star on hard drums make me want to cry. I really need to work on my rolls. I just hope they click at some point like the pedal.

If those make you cry...don't even bother with Run to the Hills.

Next to You was also crazy tough on hard drums.

More than a Feeling helped me with my rolls, even though there aren't any long ones, the sections where you hit four notes in a row really helped get the rhythm/timing of it and I can now hit the majority of the notes in the long ones on other tunes

RttH isn't rolls though, it's triplets. RttH Expert... now that's a bloody roll.

Beethoven's C*** on Expert is good for teaching some basic rolls, it's too hard in spots but will help get your brain set to not panic when you see notes clumped... at least, I think it was that song.

Edit: Nope, it wasn't that song. Dammit. B's C will help you with jumping between drums quickly (if you opt to play it like the people in the videos) Oh yeah! Orange Crush on Expert.

I'm sure this is answered somewhere in here, but couldnt find it.

Will the ps2 version play on ps3 w/o any controller adapters? Will it plug into usb and/or wireless? My friend came across a copy for ps2, but doesnt have one. And he can't describe what the controllers are like, so I don't want to bother hauling my ps3 over if it won't work. thanks

Clarification: asking about both the game disc & controllers.

Kool Thing drum part.

<object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/4Gy3grU6IwQ&hl=en"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/4Gy3grU6IwQ&hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object>

The Guitar part probably blows, like in GHIII, but the drum part actually looks pretty fun.

Looks as if Konami is going to have a go at the full-band-simulator-game like GH4 is trying to do. Looks like complete ass.

All songs are covers.
No vocals, except on DS version.
Drum controller looks wonky as hell.

That looks awful.

And if the game is value priced I will buy it.
