    PS: chart for Striken and that slipknot song are unbelievably stupid, and have too many notes in them. Overused triples in Striken.
    i no rite

    I only complained about that a page ago now.

    I finally did pass them. I "cheated" to do it. I wish I had the code for "no fail" but it's not known yet. So I had to cheat in my own way.

    For whatever reason, my fingers refused to play the green notes in the intro riffs to Before I Forget. So I played only Yellow and Blue. That kept my meter steady. I finally figured out how to do the R-R-R-BY--R-R-R-R-BY set and so that brought me into green and the rest of the song was easy knowing how to cheat it.

    Stricken wasn't nearly as hard. I can't remember what I did to get around their retardedness, but it was probably clever. 3's and 7's was ridiculous. Again, I couldn't figure out how to play the standard riff. I think this song and Stricken where were I figured out Hammer Ons are decieving. I decided I'd just strum them all. Heck, if you miss it's the same as missing the fret anyway, so it's not worth playing for like a second only to realize you missed the last note and everything you've been hitting hasn't been registering at all.

    Then Knights of Cydonia. Ugh. The intro was so easy. I didn't even have to strum up on the jacks. I comboed through the whole thing. It's those freakin' hammer triples that come in the TOTALLY NON-EXISTENT GUITAR SECTION. Ever wonder why they sound so different from every other section of the song? THEY'RE KEYBOARD SYNTHS. The galloping is correct, but the part that goes O GRY RYB YBO or something like that is made-up.

    Anyway. I practiced on Slowest and still could not play those parts. I don't know why. I cannot do gallops. It's impossible. I kept playing three minutes of the song just to fail instantly on those gallops.

    Then instinct kicked in.

    I just now remembered that the way I used to do it was to use just my index finger for all four notes. It works well, but it absolutely destroys my finger, especially when I slide over the line on the yellow note so many times.

    I also remembered that I beat "Take Me Out" on Guitar Hero 1 like this. But I beat it on Expert. With one finger.
    I beat Knights of Cydonia with one finger. Rofl.

    Edit:Ok, that's it. I'm quitting the Hard campaign here.

    Cult of Personality was fun. It was actually fun. Sure, I only 3-starred it like almost every other song I've done in Hard (is there even a 1 / 2 star score?), but the chart made sense and it was fun to play.

    I get into Tier 8. I head straight for Cliffs of Dover because I know the other three are going to be retarded. Cliffs of Dover was awesome. Most fun song to play. It's perfect. I love it. Obviously passed it first try.

    I know I'm going to fail the other three anyway but I decide to check them out.

    What is up with Raining Blood? Why was that even kept in the game? This is just retarded. It's like the guitarist threw up on his guitar and had to mop it up while he continued to strum and they just kept it in the recording like that. This is just lame. They clearly only chose this song to piss people off. It's not fun at all. I can only imagine the other two songs are just as bad but I'm not going to even bother. I need to pass all four to beat Hard campaign anyway, so what's the point?

    This game was not made for newcomers to this franchise. I hope a patch or a hack comes out that lets people play a normal 5-note version of every song.

    I'm going to cheat once the no-fail cheat comes out and I don't even care if anyone knows about it. It's sad that I (and many others, from what I hear) have do to this just to beat the game.

        *sigh*

        Im sorry squeek. But the only answer to your problems is get better.

        Apparently you just arent inately (sp?) good at this game.

        Theyve upped the ante. The rest of us have met the bar.

        And no, the triples are NOT overused in stricken. Im not sure about BiF, I have never played the song on reel geetar, but I have for stricken, and its charted well.

          Re: Guitar Hero. Awesome.

          I didn't say I had a problem with Stricken. I failed once or twice, but it was ultimately easy compared to Before I Forget, Knights of Cydonia, and where I gave up: Raining Blood.

          I've seen it across every Guitar Hero-related forum I've read. Raining Blood is pointlessly hard. A regular at ScoreHero describes the song as:

          If I was in a room with Hitler, Stalin, and the Raining Blood note chart, and I had a gun with 2 bullets, I would shoot the Raining Blood note chart twice. This chart incorporates so much pain into 5 different colored circles that it is truly amazing.
          And... "the rest of us"? Tell that to the hundreds of people who can't pass Tier 8 songs because they're just stupid. That includes Before I Forget, where everyone I've seen talking about that song says the chart is just retarded.

            Re: Guitar Hero. Awesome.

            eff. i almost want to return the stupid game. this horrible problem of having to strum early on every note only gets more annoying as you get to songs that you actually have to concentrate on. i can't freaking 5* knights of cydonia on hard. this is ridiculous. i'm not saying i'm a god or anything but i was only 8 songs away from the log guitar on gh2 but i probably won't 5* hard mode in this game because of this problem.

              BIF is kinda overstepped, after looking at some tabs for it. You're basically playing two guitars at the same time. Which is cool for expert I guess, but not exactly realistic.

                A lot of songs do this.

                Through the Fire and Flames, for example.

                Personally, I don't get it. If the band has two lead guitarists, why not just make the realistic version of the song in co-op and keep the primary part to the single-player, or at least make it an option for having the merging of the two guitarists?

                  Re: Guitar Hero. Awesome.

                  After actually playing BIF hard I can say that it is a VASTLY more accurate chart than expert. The chorus is understepped (replacing the triples with doubles all the way through) but the rest is dead on, and the song was actually pretty fun.

                    My Stricken comment was directed toward the other poster. He said it was horrendously overcharted. I said otherwise.

                    If Raining Blood were realistically charted, youd be freakin STRUMMING all of Mosh 1. Be glad its only as hard as it is.

                    And by the rest of us, i meant the rest of us here. Specially shash. Although hes in a league of his own. ****in FC on songs like Mauvais Garcon... THAT song is ****in ****. Id shoot that song before Raining Blood or BiF. ESPECIALLY BiF, cuz I love playing that chart.

                    And sure, Raining Blood took me like 20 tries to 5*. Yes I got pissed out of my freakin gourd getting the same score 5 times in a row. Sure I wanted to throw the guitar across the room when I couldnt hit the TTFAF intro on slow. Really, that's a GOOD thing. Im glad this game isnt like 80s in that every song was a 5* sightread (although im still in shock that i beat lou first try).

                    To each his own, i guess. Im done arguing. I had enough of this arguing over at SH, i really dont need it here.

                    EDIT: i guess ill be playing through the charts on hard anyway (achievements ftl) so ill see how much different BiF is.

                      Wow Knights of Cydonia hard is horrible lol. It's kinda fun (in a this doesn't hurt my wirsts like expert does kind of way ) but it's the most inconsistent notechart I've ever seen rofl.

                      EDIT: One is pretty fun on hard, I disagree with how they handled the watering down of the solo but that's just personal, the rest was really good.

                          To tell you the Truth i prefer sturmming that part so much easier heh.

                          Also Squeek don't worry about teir 8 "One" and "The Number of the Beast" are alot better then Raining Blood. *Although the solo in One is a bit ridiculous.*

                            And totally charted correctly. Im so glad they didnt underchart One's solo.

                              It randomly switches between 12ths, 24ths, and holds. It goes from one to the other for no apparent reason.
