The Old Man Band (Players Over 30)

[zarlor]

Zarlor what's up? You don't want to play with me anymore?

You are so very mean to me, I couldn't take the abuse.

Did you send me an invite yesterday? If so I was actually jamming with the Sweet Little Honey Bees while Bazoozoo made sly remarks and egged us on. Sorry I missed you, though! I couldn't tell who it was sending the invites.

[Bazoozoo]

LOL... Yep, it was a party. "Party at Honey Bee's house!"
She's improving at such a good pace - just switched to hard and beating Battery, Shoulder to Plow, and Colony of Birchmen.

Although, I gotta say I'm not really a fan of "Fuschia," or however you spell her name. Lexy is much better.
And yes, I had to laugh when the singer (I wonder who that Diva was? ) and the guitar player kept singing after both HB and the bassist failed out... Ummmm... technical difficulties not obvious?

Btw - on my 4gb card, my score won't get glitched as long as I just redownload my DLC to my new card, w/o deleting it from the old card, correct? If it's that easy then I guess I'm good.

Any idea how your 2nd big glitch occurred? Did you go and delete all your stuff? Or switch to a new card?

And someone told me about another site for stats:
http://keldon.net/rockband/scores.cgi

Since rockbandstats has been down for a few days now this is a nice alternative. It's a bit more limited but it has some nice features about it. Just type in your Wii console name and it'll spit out your stats (RB2 and DLC).

Well, I do think Lexy (and Vixen, whom you may not have seen yet) are cuter than Fuscia, but my Bassist (that's what she fills in as in Electro Hog) has a certain style, I think. There's something I like about that toon.

Why stop? Good practice if nothing else. Maybe you could use a little more of that, Mr. Not-In-the-Top-3! >

It can be that easy, but be sure to go over the 4GB card post very carefully to get a card that will work with RB2. The easier way than doing the redownload, though, would be to just copy the files onto your computer and then copy them onto the new card. You'll have to pad out the card anyway so it would save you a TON of download time by just doing the copies. Trust me, that's what you would rather do.

Are you saying you don't read my posts here, 'cause I already answered that!

I have no idea how it occured and I deliberately never deleted anything at all once I figured out how the original glitch happened. I didn't switch cards, there was absolutely nothing that changed that I can determine at all. I really have no clue how it happened, but it annoys the bajeezus out of me. I REALLY wish HMX would get their stuff together and fix it on their site, for cryin' out loud. It's really not that hard to fix. And thanks for the alternate stats URL. I haven't been doing much solo work lately to really see if I closed the gap, but since I can't get the stupid talkie section on One Way Or Another anyway, there's not a lot of point. I can't compete at all with the top 2 without closing that 7k point gap.

[Bazoozoo]

Lol - not in the top 3 eh? Actually, I was in the top 3 for a while w/ my band Anarchist Rising. I'll definitely concede the solo career to you, our resident Old Man Band Supah Stah... on the full band side, however....

Anyway, regarding the card, I read you don't have to pad it after the new Wii SDHD update. Has anyone done it here w/o having to pad it to get it under 2 gb?

Also, I spoke to someone who copied his DLC from his old card, to his computer, then to his new card. He says the Wii wouldn't read it so he had to just go and redownload it.

Yeah, on the glitch, I remember you saying you had no idea. I just wanted to run that specific scenario by you (the usage of a new card). That's so weird that it went and tallied your total score like that. Oh well... I doubt HMX will do anything about it. We'll just have to get used to it. At least to all the noobs out there viewing the leaderboards for the 1st time you like incredibly-amazingly-beastly... LOL...

Zalrlor, you use the 4gb card? When you did yours did you copy the folder from the old 2gb and move it to the 4gb? I tired that, but whenever i tried to go into the Music Store to download the rest of my songs the Wii would freeze every time. I wound up padding my 4gb card to get it under 2gb and had to redownload every song again. Ugh. It took me over 4 hours.

[megatron]

I would assume you still have to pad your card, everything that's happend since the latest update has made using the 4GB card worse, not better. I was able to transfer my info just by copying them over but that was before the update, seems like most people can't do that anymore without issues.

[Bazoozoo]

LOL - I just noticed our tags... they're getting better every day...

Awww... thanks Bazoozoo - you know that it really is your encouragement! Plus, good band support too to save me with OD

As, you know, I'm really trying to train hard to do the ESL2 - online with my band mates and live streaming it. So if anyone has any good advice for me, post it here: http://www.sweetlittlehoneybees.com/...1190-full-band
I'll be doing Hard Drums and could use the experience of other drummers here on how to survive Battery, Panic Attack, and Visions (Battery, I can barely survive with good band back up support).

Tonight, my band is gonna do Visions at Midnight (EST)- but I'll be on vox Come to my stream and you'll hear me do my best barking through the song. No offense to you Vox's out there (especially our resident Super Star "Just another singer"- ya right sitting at #3) but I think I can FC that song. Or, at least try to - any advice would be appreciated.

BTW- you guys and gals coming to my chat room really make the game fun - thanks. and guys, you really have the Hawtest characters! Amazing what the male mind can create!

[zarlor]

Honey, just bark and howl your heart out and you should be able to FC it with ease! You have to play it on Expert vox, though, of course.

On the 4GB card, yeah there are issues there. I did mine before the update and I padded it before I did the copy. I had no issues with copying the files over, although I did have a problem initially with getting the card formatted the way the Wii would read it. It may be harder to figure out now, though, since the Wii can recognize other formats, but in my case I needed to use a different SD-card reader to properly format the card in a way the Wii would fully recognize.

Also, before starting RB2, I have to pull the card out, then put it back in at the "Hit + to begin" screen, or it won't always recognize it. I had no problems with freezing up or anything, though.

[rockinrollers]

Honey, just make sure you keep the barking going consistently in between phrase changes. It seemed to work for me. And make sure you add some howling in during the long notes.

I think you have a very good chance of FCing the vocals.

As for the ESL2, I really don't think you guys should do it online. It is just way too risky with all the potential disconnects.
