Ok, I tried playing my Guitar Hero game again today. (For those of you that don't know, my game has been broken for....forever.) The error I got today was interesting. I hadn't played my game since I had resurfaced it, since I assumed that it'd be fine. Oh boy was I wrong.
I start up the game and it starts fine. The intro movie pops up, the main screen starts, and I'm able to pick my band. I start to think that maybe I'll be able to play Guitar Hero again. I go to Career mode after picking my band...and the screen goes black.
Frustrated, I decided to see if it was a one-time thing. I loaded it all over again, went to Career...and the same thing happened. I thought it might've just been Career acting up, so I tried going through all of the options except Multiplayer (I only have one controller). Every time I did anything past the main menu it did it. My disc has no noticeable scratches on it, so I know it's not just a jacked up game.
Do any of you guys know how to fix a problem like this beyond buying an entirely new game? It'd be nice if I didn't have to spend at least another $50 after getting the game resurfaced.... _________________

try turning your ps2 on its side or upside down

I was incredibly scared of turning my PS2 upside down...since I've actually ruined a few of my consoles that way, but I ran back and tried it.
Sadly, it didn't work. The screen went black, but it didn't get any farther than that.
If it helps at all, the sound effects in the background are loading, excluding the snippet of one of the bonus songs they'll play every once in a while. (The car horn, the crowd, etc.) It's just that the actual selection screen itself doesn't load. _________________

Is it the disk being scratched up or is it the PS2's lens? _________________

then it may be the connection of the cables from the back of your ps2
try putting the cable in a different video output (or input, im just throwin out suggestions) |

Well, it would have to be the disc, since I actually had to replace my old PS2 after the game broke. Here's the story of how it broke if it helps at all.
I was playing Fire it Up (yes, the same song I lost my whammy bar's springiness on). I was rocking out pretty well (it would've been my best score by far) when my sister accidentally kicks over my PS2. At that time, I had it in the vertical position. However, I did not think that it could fall over very easily without the stand. The PS2 crashes and lands upside down. I freak out, yell at my sister, pause the game to save my score from being completely killed, and put it back to normally.
The game seems to be fine still, so I hit the green fret to unpause it. It makes the sound it makes when you unpause it and I see the board moving and the notes coming at me again. However...the pause menu is still up. I can't strum, since it still thinks I'm on the menu. I can hold down the fret buttons in the background though. Frustrated at a fantastic run killed, I restart the game. And it never loads again.
I knew from the minute I saw it that the PS2 was done for, so I went ahead and replaced that. Same game disc though, only it's been resurfaced. _________________

I'm pretty sure it's not that, since everything else loads except for the song selection screen. I can see the main menu, and then after that (every single time after that), it goes black. The song snippet doesn't load at all either. _________________

hmm, you can get a CD for your PS2 which lets you play imports, it may work
do you have the big PS2 or the flip top? _________________

All right, so is there any way to actually fix the main disc? Or are we essentially replacing the thing anyways, the only difference being that one way is slightly more legal than the other? _________________

I believe Javman158 is looking for a new controller, is the both of you can sychronize your efforts you could buy the bundle and split it, you get the game and he gets the controller. Check this link to see Javman's plight:
