Two Princes drums - 42%

[Spoot_Lepedus]

This song was one of my favorites on LRB. I agree that it has a similar feel to Love Spreads, which I also enjoy. I did'nt immediately get a handle on the chart (even though I got 88%, it was an incredibly, awkward, painful, brain-hurts-from forcing-unnatural-limb-speration type experience) but have since finally settled into the increbily deceptive groove. I normally enjoy the funky,weird timing songs and shuffles (Black Friday, Don't Ease Me In, Ooby Dooby, Truckin', Perfect Drug,Testify SRV version,Head Over Feet, A Jagged G. Winter, Mellowship Slinky, Ted Just Admit It.....etc.) and have delveloped decent limb indepence, but this song incorporated a bass drum element on the snare thing (like Parasite or Love Spreads) and has an independent left hand synchopation type thing combined with I call the Ramblin' Man-make-your-neck-hurt-suck-shuffle, along with a Fake Friends-type-feel that can overwhelm the brain. Even with this type of song being my "forte", it was increbily difficult. I've got it bumped up to 96-97% but it still hurts to play, and some parts of it will probably never feel "natural" to me. Still, it falls squarely into the "funky/weird timing/shuffle" catagory and I feel compelled to master it. That Blink 182 song, though...entirely different situation.

Two Princes' bass chart is pretty peculiar too, I do agree that the intention of the percussion was to be odd in general

Also feeling the Aliens Exist notion and I kinda dropped off on that song as it's just another 'hurrr i hits da colur' Blink 182 song

After the export, Aliens Exist is the only one I can't pass yet.

Doom, I still don't find songs like Aliens Exist hard at all if I pause it to rest several times in the song. It even has parts like Young that you have trouble at and I have no trouble with, yet you've passed songs that I can't pass.

Mark White is an incredibly funky bass player, and the albums really mixed him down for the most part.

Different Strokes. LOL. Young is no problem anymore as I've gotten better at disco beats. I only played Aliens twice so I'll probably pass it but it will be ugly. Everyone has their strengths like one guy in another post who FC'ed Bad Reputation but fails at Panic Attack/Painkiller. Plus I don't like pausing during songs. I just wack my forearms with the sticks and yell "More Cowbell!!!!"

This song kicks my ass. The first time I played it was at the end of a long session and I just turned the game off. Last night I played it again and got 91%. Barely.

[CountWaesche]

I tried this today and failed out at about 15%. Have not tried it again, but I will....

Man it is way more difficult than I thought at first.

[Doom878]

I don't remember my %age but I think it was like 93-94. I got 4.5 stars ranked 45th/94. Not very good. Kind of reminds me of a more complex version of Head Over Feet which I did much better in.

It's an odd pattern in the context of RB, but it's really just a rudimentary ghost-note groove. It's just a case of working on coordination and practicing the pattern. Fire and Aliens Exist are much more technically challenging.
