    Hardest songs to Gold Star
    I've been playing Blitz for a week now and am totally addicted!

    I have managed to gold star almost every song with the exception of these 7:




    Living Color - Cult of Personality (High Score - 367,738)




    Quiet Riot - Bang Your Head (Edit - Completed, 15th try)

    My Chemical Romance - Sing (Edit- Completed, 13th try)

    Tears for Fears - Shout (Edit- Completed, 12th try)

    Queen - Death on Two Legs (Edit - Completed, 9th Try)

    Shinedown - Dimond Eyes (Edit - Completed, 8th Try)

    Soundgarden - Spoonman (Edit - Completed, 6th Try)




    Just wondering what songs everyone else is really struggling with and discuss strategy for the hardest ones

    Managed to GS Spoonman using the super bass, blast notes and jackpot

    Tip For Shout: Jackpot + Super Guitar -> Trigger it during the long Double Sustains. MAJOR points as long as you keep your multiplier climbing.

    I, for the life of me, can't seem to Gold Star Diamond Eyes, Sing and Kids in the Street. Have played each song 13-14 times and keep coming up just short. They're the only 3 I haven't gotten gold on yet.

    My go to setup for gold starring songs is road rage, blast notes and super guitar but that doesn't seem to be working for those songs. Does anyone have advice on what power-ups I should use instead?

    The hardest songs for me so far have been Cult of Personality and Sing for opposite reasons: Cult of Personality has a lot of notes and crazy solos, Sing has a lot of slow parts that will screw up your multiplier if you're not paying attention to the right instrument at the right time.

    i really wish i could join in with this but i have only got 50 GS out of 181 songs played, i do not think i will be going for full GS with my 1,500+ songs but i see that FG5* is possible. my set up is also road rage, blast notes and super guitar, if anyone knows any set-ups that are better do let me know.

    i honestly think the reason i am unable to GS as many is i focus more on multiplier than the purple notes which i have heard is a big no no, for some reason my toughest song i have come across is wont get fooled again which seems odd seeing as it is quite an easy tack in blitz but i cant seem to get them extra points.

    if youre using blast notes then the purple note will help your multiplier anyway, so always go for the purple.

    ah ok then, i will do so, i was not sure if it was worth getting the blast notes and missing out on a multiplier bonus but if purple is what i need then that is what i will go for, now to try wont get fooled again once more and see if i can get 5* finally with going for purple and no. 1 priority

    can anyone here GS wont get fooled again? i once again failed to 5* it with a score of 549k. i think i will need to learn the track a bit more, i know the song perfect but i just cant do it, confusing seeing as i keep thinking i play bad on other songs and end up getting a GS and with this one, think i am doing well and getting a 4*, a bit crazy imo, but this is the only song i cannot yet 5* so at least i have something to work towards cos i think if i 5*/GS every song on the sightread the game would get boring once i play every songs seeing as there will be nothing to work towards
