The Old Man Band (Players Over 30)

[cwilbur]

Nice jammer. One of these days I'm going to have to try to get one of those nifty icons. I think I could swing a gold on both guitar and drums, but I'm gonna have to practice Visions a while first. Even on Hard that song is ridiculous.

It sure is. I passed it on Hard for the first time yesterday morning and happened to have the day free, so.... I'm shiny now. It still took me a half dozen cracks to find the tempo in the noise and put that so-called "song" down like the dog it is. After beating that nightmare Panic Attack and Painkiller felt (almost) like cakewalks. I maintain that the key to the ESL for old farts like us is to play the first 30 or 40 as lazily as you possibly can. I wanted to get as many 5*s as possible, but once I hit 5* on a lot of songs I'd slack back to only hitting kick and red, or only playing the beat at half speed, or cutting whatever else I could cut and still pass. Other than that trick I think I took only 2 short bathroom breaks and one long dinner break.

hi everyone ... its a while since i posted here so here goes ... i've been playing for quite some time and not having any luck with the random quickplay crowd ... i've got some dlc ... drums/bass expert/hard., guitar hard/expert, vox - i can hummmm ... i work from home so i can get on most anytime ... i don't have any shiny icons (i'm sure i can get the gold one if i have 18hrs to spare ) ... add me and don't forget to invite!

Alek, we've got 21 DLC in common not counting the free ones, so that's not bad. I just added you. You can find my FC and DLC list at http://dlcquickplay.com/user/cwilbur

Oh, and BTW, the ESL doesn't take 18 hours - it's right around 6 hours 15 minutes if you don't take breaks and don't fail. You could stop in the middle, sleep all night, get up and finish in the morning and finish in less than 18 hours

[Sticky Willy]

Ciao! I'll add you the next time I get on.

hello riptide! I did it too! see you in game

and welcome alekela ! I'll add you today!

I also have a question to all of you: is it useful to add you on DLC site as a friends? I sent requests to all of you but no one accepted. I have some request pending on skype too.

So I went to try Visions on Guitar and good gravy!! I sorta got the hang of the first minute or so, and then the speed doubled and I went down in flames. How did you beat that Jammer? Do you alt strum while switching frets on the insanely fast part?

The good news is I beat it on drums without too much difficulty. Actually, I passed it first try once I enabled breakneck speed. (BNS on Hard is great, moves you up to Expert speed) So if I can find 6 free hours (not likely) I'll try to grab a shiny icon.

Chuck, how do you like Sort Of?! It's my new favorite drum chart.

Hey, I accepted on dlcquickplay. Having friends on dlcquickplay will be handy if/when you get some DLC. Having friends makes it easier to compare the songs you have in common.

I couldn't get my better half interested in any of the SSPU this week - the only song she wanted was The Game so we have that.

I just watched part of a chart video - how are you sticking that BBBBBRRB part? All the blue on the right hand and the red on the left? Or RLRLRLLR to avoid crossing left over to the last blue? It looks to me like the kind of chart that would give me fits while I tried to work that out...
