Guitar Hero II - official.

All of you guys that are “pretty good” at the first game should start posting some expert scores in the score attack thread.

I would but I lost all my fucking scores at some point during the last year and I'm too lazy to get 100% on all the expert songs again, minus the top bracket (99% bahhh) plus remembering where the best star power spots are.

"Beast and the Harlot" = the new "Cowboys From Hell" (i.e., a shitty song by a shitty metal band that’s probably going to be a pain in the ass to play on expert)

While I do hate Pantera, Avenged Sevenfold is a far, far worse band. It's going to be hilarious hearing someone attempting to "sing" like thier douchebag singer.

Only a strictly musical level, I agree, but if you take into consideration things like the general impact that each band has had on the community of metal musicians/fans, then I think that Pantera is the clear winner (loser?) in this comparison since Avenged Sevenfold will probably disappear from the face of the rock/metal music populace within another year or two having done little more than attached themselves to a few musical trends in exchange for a bit of fame and fortune.

Ditto for Lamb of God.

Holy Christ man take a breath.

I don't really care for the final song list. I think there are a fucking ton of great guitarists/guitar songs that should be on there instead of 3/4 of these.

Some Freezepop better be unlockable on this fucker.

We all win because there isn't.

[K3V]

We all win because there isn't.

It's true. That Freezepop song in the first one was super lame.

[James]

The lyrics were lame but I liked the instrumental part of it. I ended up liking a fair chunk of the extra songs on Guitar Hero, mostly because once I'd played the primary songs enough I wanted something else to do.

You guys're haters.
