Official Discussion Thread: DLC Week of 12/6 - Queen 9 Pack!

[Pankrazzo]

Sorry RHCP, but this Queen selection is my pack of the year. Epic songs, so much fun on everything.

[samjjones]

All - I listened to the "A Kind of Magic" album on my way to work today, and lamented over what could have been.

[Quaszar]

I made videos this week in Riles's stead. All I have to say is Brian May, I salute you. My guitar review:

Seven Seas of Rhye: Very fun, great solos.

Stone Cold Crazy: The best song ever. Awesome riffs, kickass solos, it’s so much fun.

I’m in Love With My Car: Freddie must have had a cold when he sang this one. It grabs you from the start with the ho/pos. There’s little guitar solo things throughout the whole song.

You’re My Best Friend: No guitar at all in the first half, but the solo makes up for it.

Long Way: Nothing remarkable in the guitar part.

Bicycle Race: Takes a little while to get going, but it’s really fun. Watch out for those trill lanes after the bicycle bells.

Don’t Stop Me Now: SOMEBODY TO LOVE PART II.

Radio Gaga: I don’t mind long spaces in songs, but I have to point them out for people.

The Show Must Go On: I love the buildup and the solos. I have to warn the people who suck at guitar about the crazy trill lanes.

I recommend Seven Seas of Rhye, Stone Cold Crazy, I’m in Love With My Car, You’re My Best Friend, Bicycle Race, and The Show Must Go On. I don’t Recommend Don’t Stop Me Now (the guitar part, this song is a mandatory purchase) and Radio Gaga. Seriously, buy the whole thing.

Excellent job/videos, looks like Riles is the NEW Wally Pipp....

It should be noted that dog037 is a complete liar, those are not his videos, and Elison has been doing his videos for far longer than I have

I'll play it when I'm not busy dying of finals. Can't wait

[dog037]

Yeah, I shouldn't be taking credit for Elison.

So Bicycle Race wins the greatest count-in of all time award.

I haven't heard it yet, but Beer! in testing has beer bottles being popped open as the count in

[HeyRiles]

Screw it I'm playing them now. I'm not recording them since I'm pretty late so refer to Elison's videos this week

Also thank goodness for formula sheets in Calculus. That hand-out saved my semester

Even Foo Fighters had only one week to themselves.

And even then, that week also saw the release of the AC/DC pack and the free 20.

I wish we could stop making sweeping generalizations about bands and acting like you can form objective opinions about whether a band is or isn't terrible.

You could argue all day on whether or not quality of art can be judged objectively; it's not so cut and dry either way.

To be honest, I'm fond of many "bad" bands.

Also thank goodness for formula sheets in Calculus. That hand-out saved my semester

Calculus= Satan.

Anyway, I'm actually really, really glad they put "Long Away" in the pack. Fantastic vocal song.

[HeyRiles]

Every song was fun on guitar. Sightread FC Don't Stop Me Now, so I'm pumped

That strobe effect on Bicycle Race was even worse than In Waves

[TheDescent]

Both are better than TTFAF on GHIII tho.
