I just bought the Earache pack because I have been playing expert drums and felt up to a challenge. I assumed I would fail fuckin' hard on drums and indeed I did on all but D.O.A. So I figure "hey, switch over to guitar and own the shit out of these motherfuckers!" but I haven't actually played the guitar in at least a month >_>

So I use D.O.A. as a warm-up as it sounds fairly easy. I fall just short of 5 staring it and know if I played it again I would 5 star it easy. So on to Blinded By Fear. This is the first song I have seen that is ranked harder than Wont Get Fooled Again for drums and its still pretty far down the list for guitar. I make it through with a solid 4 stars again... I wouldn't fail it but it might take some time to 5 star.

Then we move on to the beast of the pack, Thrasher. If you listen to the preview you know you are in for a rough ride. So I gather my courage, take a deep breath and start the song. I am instantly assaulted with a raging stream of green notes! I manage to regain my composure and attempt to pick out the pattern. After a few seconds I realize I am missing an ass-ton of notes so I just strum as fast as I possibly can; fuck the pattern. To my surprise this actually works to a degree and I manage my way back from deep in the yellow to almost green.

Then it gets faster >_> THEN it starts shifting the stream of shit from one button to the next, staying put just long enough for my slow out-of-shape fingers to move to the now wrong color. Somehow I stay alive in the flashing red for somewhere between 8-10 days only to see the fretboard start flashing from blue to red: I have entered the solo.

I frantically spam the fuck out of the strum bar while mashing my fingers wildly on the fret buttons. I believe I may have actually hit one or two notes in the solo before failing. I drop to my knees crying "My god what speed! HOLY FUCK MY HAND HURTS!" I then crawl to my computer chair and plan on typing about 2 sentences about what fucking bullshit that song was, and here we are >_>

I hate that I even bought that pack, I'll never beat them on drums. I haven't even bothered trying guitar.

Don't Fear the Reaper was a goddamn bitch. Outside of the songs I haven't beat yet, that one gave me the most trouble in the game.

well today I actually went out and bought my own drum set. its an EL model and I am used to playing on QM (you can roll better on an EL but about 1/10 hits on the yellow or blue miss because you have to pound them to get it to count it >_<) I just ordered a metal plate for the foot pedal like the one my roommate got and I am going to take it easy on the drums till then.

also 99% on simple man. missed one note because I was singing >_< Currently working on Screaming For Vengeance (full album). I wish there was a way to just pick "play album" or if you could make a set list by yourself.
