Shout at the Devil

I usually don't even worry about my SP path in this song. I just whammy like there's no tomorrow and use my SP whenever possible. It seems to work for me.

Just a technique thing: personally, I've found that using 12, then 23 on the trills works MUCH better than 23, 34...if you're having trouble.

I use 1-2 for all of the trills

hey, ive got two questions

1. how do you read the note chart? i dont see where you are supposed to activate star power.

2. on the 360 version, someone managed to get 250k in this song. the second place score is 210k. does anyone know how he possibly got 250k? im not entirely sure if he glitched the system, or if he just found an amazing sp route.

Anybody else find it amusing that measures like 19, 21, etc. have 666 points? :P

Another mildly amusing thing I noticed about this song:

The beginning of YYZ is actually Y-Y-Z in morse code over and over:
-.-- -.-- --..

From that, we can tell what the chorus in Shout at the Devil is in Morse code:
--.. --.. --..
or "zzz..."

Appropriate in such a boring song.

When playing the actual song, how do you remember where not to whammy and where to use SP and all that. I've tried it, but have a horrible memory and have always forgotten when to use

Suitata's chart boosted my score from 165k to 190k (yeah i never played this song much)

I FCed everything but the solo.

Thanks
