So I played the lead Guitarist of "College Dropouts" today...

[RedTsunami]

Can't remember his xbl name, and I'm too lazy to turn on my xbox here cause it's late, so yeah. Just randomly found him over match-making.

The song was Tom Sawyer, and I lost. It pisses me off that I lost, because not only is Tom Sawyer one of my worst songs on guitar (I just can't manage to hit the guitar riff where he says "The River!", I have no idea why, my hand just trips up there), but I was having an especially bad guitar day, AND it was a warm-up song. So that's a triple threat. Oh yeah.

If you ever play him, or anyone from their band, they're wearing all white, and shirts with their logo and band name. The lead guitarist, I've gotta be honest, was okay. sure he beat me, but he missed a couple easy parts as well, and he didn't early whammy lots of OD chords. But maybe I'm just a sore loser.

I sent a friend request too. I wanna play him on GGaHTF... :D

Maybe I'm missing something, but what is the point of this thread?

Yeah how could he not complain what an ******* to talk about an experience in a game on the forums for that game.

:rolleyes:

no that is absolutely uncalled for..!!! :rolleyes: ;)


Back to topic...I hope he adds you as a friend and you get to challenge him once again. And MAYBE you are being a little of a sore loser, but who doesn't feel a little defensive and intimiated when someone "one-ups" you.

I'll play you, buy a ps3. =)

as opposed to playing the rhythm guitar player?

Just cause their band is up in the rankings doesn't mean they're the best.
Better luck next time dude!

[supersonic1414]

It has more to do with how much time your band has to play, as compared to skill in BWT. If you can play expert, it's pretty much all even for BWT

Just cause their band is up in the rankings doesn't mean they're the best.

Agree and disagree.

They are ranked third on the rockband.com leaderboards with a 7.95 million career score. If you look at the full band leaderboards on rockband.scorehero.com (http://rockband.scorehero.com/rankings.php?platform=2&size=4&team=0&group=15&diff=4), you'll see that they'd fall several spots since the bands there are actually the best bands.

This might be true up unil about 6.5-7 million career score, which is where I'd expect a full expert band that can pass every expert song on all instruments would land if they played all 58 songs. To sniff 9 million, all four members have to be incredible at their respective instruments and songs have to be played multiple times each to work out kinks in percentages and opverdrive use.
