Eminence Front: GS No 29

Last one for today. This is probably the only Who song I will ever ever evr GS!!!

El Scorcho: GS No 28

And another one. I move to Abu Dhabi next week so my "playtime" is severely limited at the moment. I'd like to have got through every song so I know exactly what i can and can't do on Expert, but there is no way I'll manage that in a week. Oh well, gives me something to do over there when it's too hot to go out!

Dirty Little Secret: GS No 27


This is one of those songs that I was always close to Gold Starring, but something would stop me. Just don't wuite know why, but I'd lose the rhythm or one of the "mini-rolls" would get away from me. But I got it at last. On the last note! And it's a song I really enjoy playing as well.

Dani California: GS No 26

I love this song. Another one I used to struggle with and first play today gave me Gold. All that practice does actually pay off then. Who'd have thought it?

Countdown To Insanity: FC No 8

One that I'd previously GSed, but here is the FC version of Countdown to Insanity.

Quarter Century! Buddy Holly: GS No 25

It's weird when you go back to song that you haven't played in ages. Really shows you how much you've improved. I used to struggle with the red/green pad section (especially the off-beat bass hits), but GS'ed this on the first attempt today, and was only a couple of notes off an FC. Sometimes you feel like you're not really progressing, but moments like this really show you that you are.

Bang A Gong: GS No 24

Or "Get It On" as it was called over here originally! My score would have been much higher had I not dropped a drumstick about two thirds of the way through the song, but it's still another GS anyway. Thought I'd ruined it when that stick went flying! I'll be coming back to this one as I think I can FC it.

Apache Rose Peacock: GS No 23

I've decided to work my way through the songs alphabetically so I can post my best score for each one at www.rockheroesonline.com to keep track of my Gold Stars and which songs I need to improve on. It's become pretty evident that Harmonix are in no hurry to supply a patch to display your stars, so this seems the best (and only) way to keep track of them.

Seeing In The New Year: Endless Setlist 2 Completed!!!

And this is what I got up to yesterday! I swore I'd never do it, but in the end my desire for Trophies got the better of me! I only did it on Hard, because of Visions and Battery, but secretly I think
I prefer the gold icon to the platinum one anyway! I was actually a little bit upset, as I was going for the Bladder of Steel Trophy. I got to song 82 of 84 without stopping (yes, that would
be Visions!)
and then promptly failed. AAAAAARRRRRRGGGHHH! But at least I got my two "Artist" Trophies and of course my Gold Icon and Legendary status. Some day I will come back to conquer that Bladder of Steel Trophy. It will be mine, oh yes.....

It's My Life: GS No 22


Well, there's been a gap to say the least! This GS was actually scored just before Christmas, but it's been a hectic time and I didn't get a chance to post this. Really loving the drums now I've got used to the cymbals. Much better than the RB set!
