ALL DRUMMERS Who hates...

All Drummers Who hates the song "Green grass & High tides"? *raises hand*
This is liek the worst sogn ever it so annoying and fast and repetitive and GAHHHH! I'm not going to get anye better cuz of this song >:(. BTW I get 5 stars on hard on the song Say it ain't so. But i've never touched the drums b4 i got this game and i got this game on tuesday.

[LockedUpInside]

I like this song, it's pretty fun on the drums (on Medium or Hard).

The only problem I have with it is that it's the ONLY song I can't pass on Expert guitar :(...

[Julio_Strikes_Back]

I've five starred it on hard. It's easy, as long as you don't go off-beat. It's just very long and repetitive.

[SoKGiX]

eh that songs the ****.

[Angelex21]

Im not syaing i hate the song itself i just hate the rock band drums part... 10 minutes of pretty much teh same thing fast is a bit** to control especially with the kick drum.
Lemme put it this way it funny to listen to then to drum too :P.

[Smoky_McAshtray]

LOL...this song is nothing. The beat isn't really that fast once you get used to it. Soon you'll forget all about Green Grass & High Tides...have fun with Run to the Hills. I'll be expecting your "ZOMG Run Up da Hill is the SUXZORZ!!!" thread in the near future. (BTW 5 starring Say it Ain't So isn't really anything to brag about...there's a reason it's the first song on the list ;))

Seriously, a baby could probably 5 star that song on hard. SIAS and Creep are probably the two easiest song for drums on hard/medium. Buddy Holly is pretty easy too.

I haven't tried this Green Grass and High Tides song yet. I think I did once in Online Band Mode and someone else failed it so we all failed cause we couldn't save him. I'll try it out here in a minute.

[Angelex21]

w/e i'll just stfu. I know its ez too i was just saying i didnt even say it liek WOOOO!! all i said is "BTW i got 5 stars on hard on Say it aint so". :/

[LedZeppelinQ]

Thats what alot of drumming is, being able to keep a beat. Its a pretty easy song even on expert, you cant always be the one soloing, just suck it up and let the guitarist get some time in the spotlight ;)

[Angelex21]

I play guitar. Guitar IS fun just i'm starting to like drums and for a guirtarist in the on this song it would be harder but it would probably be funner. It take a little more skill to lay guitar than drums somtimes probably.

[AVC808]

when i played through solo mode drums on medium i breezed through it until i got to green grass. i admit i had a hard time initially. even when i passed it i think i got 4 stars, but almost failed. after finishing solo on medium i started the solo mode all over again on hard. when i got to green grass i was preparing for the worst, but one the first try i five starred it. no joke. i dont know if there is a difference in the pattern that makes it easier to play on hard, or if my brain just adapted or what, but green grass was a breeze. then i got to dont fear the reaper. that crap gave me problems on hard. i had to play it for like 30 minutes before i could pass it. after that i was so relieved and i didnt want to frustrate myself further playing more hard stuff. i forget what song was next but i know i havent hit the run to the hills tier yet...

oh and say it aint so is ridiculously easy even on expert. there's only a few extra variations thrown in there. so yeah.

[vicpac]

I had the same experience as AVC808. I had never played drums before and passed every song until GGHT on Med. When I got to it on hard i 5* it the first time. That beat becomes super easy with more experience.

A tip on Reaper on Hard. Save a full overdrive bar and use right before last solo section (duh) but play the double Blue & Bass and the snare and crash that follows and that will get you through until you get the timing down. That last section beat me down a bunch of times. Worse than RTTH on hard.

[Parodygm]

Can't say I hate GGaHT. I enjoy playing it on Hard - it is good for practicing my timing and rhythm (I'm not a out of game drummer) and I particularly like playing it online with an Expert guitarist. I can help out with some overdrive if needed on Solo 2. Admittedly, I enjoy playing a collaborative kind of game.

I'm personally stuck on the Hard versions of Don't Fear the Reaper (outro) and Cherub Rock (intro). Thanks for the tips for that!

I also have difficulty with songs with fast bass kick and snare/tom alternating patterns, eg. Reptilia. Any tips for working on this anyone? Just practise, practise, practise I guess.

[ar3tardedllama]

this song is so easy on expert, sure, it's long but it is pretty easy as long asyou have the beat going and don't mess up

[Apples]

On the contrary, GG&HT is probably one of my favorite drum tracks... a brisk pace throughout and an endurance test for the stout of heart.

[vicpac]

Parodygm - For the intro to Cherub. You just have to get the pattern. Its the same thing four times. I count it out loud when I am playing.

123 123 12 123 12 12

Where the blacks are the bass hits. I failed it the first 2 times and then practiced that intro. Once you get through that you'll finish the song.

[dmay504]

i love the song...and its pretty easy on all levels...very long but very repetitive

[AdamWill2]

You don't need to do very well on the intro to Cherub Rock anyway. I nerfed it up quite bad and wasn't close to dying.

I've always loved the song but didn't appreciate how awesome the drum part is until I played it in RB (the kick is a bit buried in the mix on the CD track). Jimmy kicks ass. I had so much fun playing the song.

you need to use spell check.

I agree it's pretty much a test on your right foot and that's about it...I hate "Run to the Hills" more so just because I've never had my right hand burn so much then when I was in drumline...

[AdamWill2]

don't get how anyone finds GGHT hard. I gold starred it on expert on my third try. OTOH I've tried Don't Fear The Reaper four times now and Foreplay twice and didn't get out of the ^()*$^%ing roll sections. Just depends where your strengths lie I guess.

For GGHT...guess the only thing to say is if you don't have a decent technique for playing quick bass doubles, a ten minute long song (or something, I wasn't really counting) is a *bad* place to be learning. :) Creep is probably good practice. Once you have the technique down you can yawn your way through GGHT while reading the paper.

[TheRocker]

It's not all that bad , yes its repetative but i like listening to the guitar :D

[AdamWill2]

yeah, I'm exaggerating, actually the drummer did a pretty neat job of changing things up regularly at the end there. :) that long red-blue section before the fast part is a yawnarama though.

Thank you, I'll take that into practise and work hard on the pattern. Appreciate it.

I'm with Apples here. I love playing this song on Expert drums. Whenever it comes up in a set list, my guitarists are always like "Crap!" but I'm the only one that's "Sweet!".

[Takhisis]

I am stuck on this song too , on Medium get up to 71% but improving i used to get up to only 56% and crap out =( guess will have to keep practicing, the thing i hate about rock band is having to unlock songs , and play songs that i dont even like to get the songs i like they should , of made it less like guitar hero , and just gave everyone access to all the songs , so anyone can play what they like when they like makes it a much better game, and of course if you dont like a song , why should you be forced to play it, imo it all about fun

[DethBaphomet]

6 Attempts..reached 91% before failing..Sigh..I'll try agin tonight...
Good Practice...Sit at desk all day pretending to hit those fast notes toward the end..Glad to see I'm not alone..

[Project_Mercy]

Most of the drum parts don't scale well. Some start out really easy and end up wicked hard. Some start out hard and don't really progress much.

GG&HT is much the later, the difference between the medium song and the expert song are a few extra kicks and some rolls. That's about it. GG&HT is really hard on medium when you get to it. But 5-staring it will prepare you to move on to hard and build the endurance you'll need to play the last tier songs (which are all like 8 minutes long). First time I got to it on expert I 5-stared it, because it's not that hard.

And yes, there's a post about Medium GG&HT and Hard/Expert Run to the Hills like every day.

As for liking the Outlaws, I guess it depends on your opinions on southern rock. I grew up with it, and I respect the roots of rock n roll. Some of my friends aren't as keen on it or any of the 70's (and older) songs.

[CENACHAINGANG54]

I have no problem with this song on drums. I have 5* it on Expert. I like to play it as well as Flirtin with disaster. It also may be because I am a drummer, but I think the song is fun.

However quitar on expert on GGAHT is a whole different story!!
