Final Thread, FCBP - Questions 45/230/301/508/565/621

Love Story (Band Hero was super easy.)

For Whom The Bell Tolls (weird chords always caused problems for me when I was starting out)

Cathedral (this seems like it should be harder to me)

I'm In The Band (The Black River had the same exact hard part and is already ranked, plus this one has wonky GH3 strums with hammer-ons on the beat. Strumming straight sixteenths in those bars is a game of chance.)

Ace of Spades/Groundhog (I see no reason why this should go any higher, unless someone who's actually played DJ Hero should comment.)

Knights of Cydonia (Can GH3 CoP finally go soon?)

Q36: Love Story - Because Band Hero is pathetic. It's so mind-numbingly easy, everything else at least has something that makes it harder than this.

Q239: For Whom the Bell Tolls - Chords fucked me up for a while, and the bridge, but only because I am abysmally bad with ladder patterns.

Q292: In A Big Country - This really doesn't have anything hard in it, the hardest bits are the 4 note trills, which are not hard at all. Cathedral's patterns I find a little awkward at times, I've always had a bit more trouble with it than other people though, it seems.

Q517: I'm in the Band - Solo is pretty rough, and there's all the strumming stuff in the outro, first the Elephant Bones style strumming bit and the end strumming.

Q556: Ace of Spades / Groundhog - It doesn't look that bad, but I know the DJ Hero engine is a bit wonky, so I'm not so sure. We need someone who's actually played the song to give their opinion, because I can only speak for what I saw, I don't know how it plays.

Q630: Knights of Cydonia - All that damn strumming, and the ending can be really chokeable if you hit the strumming and the nerves are getting to you. This song is the one out of this group I'm furthest from FCing, so it gets my vote.

Like I said in the guitar-only thread, I need to vote in these more often. Not having a few games gives me some trouble, and watching videos can only do so much...

EDIT: Would it be worth doing something like this for bass? I'm interested in looking at the bass stuff, but I highly doubt there would be a lot of interest for it now...

Stacy's Mom (?)-- I don't think this was that hard.

Laughtrack

Shout at the Devil (SH)-- Every other song at least has something that took more effort than the trill for me.

Kicked to the Curb-- All of the non-guitar-only songs in this group seem surprisingly easy.

Vicarious-- Extremely straightforward compared to the other things up.

Cult of Personality (GH3)-- FINALLY

Question 37:
BH/DJH) Take Back the City (BH) (Stacy's Mom is close though)

Question 238:
Guitar Only) Laughtrack (GH2)

Question 293:
GH:SH) Shout at the Devil (GH:SH)

Question 516:
Guitar Only) Kicked to the Curb (GH2)

Question 557:
GH5) Lust For Life (Live) - Vicarious has those ascending runs at the end which I still can't hit, and I fced this with relative ease

Question 629:
Cult of Personality (GH3)

**HeroMaster47** · Joined: 23 Oct 2015 Posts: 128 Location: Australia

Q37: Stacy's Mom

Actually not voting for the BH song this time, mainly because I think TBtC is a little bit faster than Stacy's Mom, and they're about the same anyway.

Q238: Laughtrack

Lotsa hooks.

Q293: Shout at the Devil (GH:SH)

Everything else is either much harder or more annoying to FC than this.

Q516: Kicked to the Curb

Solo is pretty bloody fast.

Q557: Vicarious

I think it's a bit overrated tbh, LFL's ending strumming is just as annoying to me as Vicarious' triplets, and the rest of LFL always gave me more trouble than the first 6 minutes of Vicarious ever did.

Q629: Cult of Personality (GH3)

I begrudgingly vote for this despite it being the only song in this group that I've FC'd, because I can see it being a lot more trouble for the average player, and I put a lot of effort into getting CoP, which I haven't put into any of these other songs.

Take Back the City-- BH is still super easy. No comment.

Red Lottery-- This FC is made substantially harder by the fact that most players have their volume off when playing this song.

Cherry Pie-- Everything else seems to have at least something that's harder.

Rats in the Cellar-- Easily harder than all of the other things here.

Lust for Life-- The ending's frustrating, but it takes no skill compared to the other songs here.

Stranglehold-- Finally, all of the songs above 8 minutes can be ranked.

So Yesterday-- I still can't think of a reason why any of the other songs are easier.

Dance The Night Away-- I had a lot of trouble on the purples in this one for where it's ranked

18 and Life-- Everything else took a lot of attempts in this group. Them Bones was the only one that was quick for me and that still takes quite a bit of skill.

Pride and Joy-- The trill into a chord in the third verse is a major combo killer for me. I'm not sure why, it shouldn't be that difficult.

Combination-- This is something that takes a lot more luck than skill.

Sweet Home Alabama-- By a longshot and a half, obviously the hardest thing left
