My set is a QM set - so that explains the red being an issue apparently.
Somewhere around 150k or 151k. I'm sure I could improve a bit with some practice though.

And I am so glad I bought Hysteria by Muse. What a badass song. Now I have to buy an album of theirs.

I ended up just getting 3 for now. My Best Friend's Girl, Just what I needed and let the good times roll. I would love to have Guns n Roses and the Eagles.

So more than likely a Disturbed three-pack next week?

That's what I'm guessing. Probably three cuts from their new album.

I think it's pretty damn likely.

Seems like forever since we got an announcement due to the really early one last week.

Man, I hate Dead On Arrival. Since my roommate was out of town during the 3 day weekend, I decided to do some Rock Band marathoning, to try and beat that song on expert drums. I must have played that song 100 times. I did get better at it, but I still couldn't beat it. I was consistantly getting to around 30-48% for a while, which is better than the 15-20% I was getting to before. I thought I was going to beat it at one point, when I was about 83% through with overdrive ready, but I failed before I could activate it. Haven't got that far since. I think I played too much and tired myself out, since I started getting worse after that. I think it's time to take a few days off and maybe try again this weekend.

If anything good came out of playing that damn song, it's that I got better at drumming in general. I went back and played some songs that used to give me trouble. I was able to 4 and 5 star some songs that I used to barely 3 star. So, that was cool. I'm going to beat that song one of these days. I think that song is now my officially most played song ever in any of the GH games or Rock Band. It's also now my officially most hated song ever.

I suppose Doolittle arriving the week after the Cars album is unlikely, but I can still hope.

Hopefully not. I'm all for promoting a new album and don't mind Disturbed but give us two 'classic' cuts and one new track.

http://www.bestbuy.com/disturbed has listed this for a while now
After you place your order, you will receive an e-mail with download instructions for these bonus Rock Band tracks:

* "Inside the Fire"
* "Indestructible"
Anyone that expects something besides Disturbed on Tuesday has been deluding themselves for the last month or so. There will be at least 2 Disturbed songs released on 6/3 for the new album. Seems likely they'll just throw a 3rd on there from a previous album. I can't name a Disturbed song for the life of me, but I'm sure there's a "popular" one.

Now it is possible there will be 5 songs released, the 2 Disturbed and 3 unannounced, but I just don't see that happening. The only thing it has going for it is the BB code is for 2 Disturbed songs (320 points) and not a 3-song pack (440 points). Of course that may just be a way to get us to pay the full price for the "one song we already know" from Disturbed.

Anyway... 6/3 is my 30th birthday and I had been hoping for a nice present from Harmonix. Guess they don't love me like I love them.

One song I think would be awesome for Rock Band is the new Judas Priest single "Nostradamus". I've heard it a few times on the radio and I think it would be a lot of fun on all instruments.

Ouch.

I keep hoping that June is the month they start releasing more than 3 songs per week (I know...albums and Euro tracks), but I'm sure it'll just be the 3 Disturbed tunes tomorrow.

Ha, that's funny. My friend and I were trying to top eachother with ideas for the worst track pack. Disturbed and Sevendust couldn't be beat.

Expensive day for me...

Two Cars tracks: Just What I Needed and Best Friend's Girl
Both Dollar Menu tracks: Gimme Two Steps and Dirty Little Secret
and Boston's Smokin' just for good measure.

On short work weeks like this, aren't you supposed to think it's a day EARLIER than it actually is?
