[The Eye in the Sky!]

You had to show up and make it difficult, huh Bri?

[smashbro14]

You had to show up and make it difficult, huh Bri?
I told him to vote off Freya :D.

[The Eye in the Sky!]

Hehe, split. (http://forums.gamewinners.com/forums/showthread.php?t=531662)

Still 7-7 between "Freya" and "Last Child"...

[KingOfBBQ]

I vote last child!

Freya is awsome dispite the rly long bridge part in the middle of it.

[mr.rpg king]

I vote Freya. To make things increasingly difficult :D

[The Eye in the Sky!]

I'm probably going to open a can of whoop ass pretty soon. :cool2:

[KingOfBBQ]

Can I vote for last child again pls pls pls? I'll let u make out with my sister. lol

[Kevin]

Can I vote for last child again pls pls pls? I'll let u make out with my sister. lol
And the lol WTF post of the year goes to...

[Cytosine]

Last Child. Freya doesn't deserve to go out. Yet.

[The Eye in the Sky!]

You voted already... we've still been in the same round. FOR ALL OF ETERNITY. [/Dragonforce]

[Excalibur310]

I vote Freya!

[The Eye in the Sky!]

Don't like that vote but thank god this round is over.

9 - "Freya"
8 - "Last Child"

"Freya" is voted off... finally.

Tier 5
"Killing in the Name" - Rage Against the Machine
"Last Child" - Aerosmith

"Last Child"... again.

[TheDukeOfBoston]

Last Child, Killing in the name is just too awesome.

[Woozie]

Last Child, Killing in the name is just too awesome.
I think saying it's awesome is a little over the line, but it's certainly better than Last Child even if the cover is god awful.

[smashbro14]

Last Child isn't as fun as Killing in the Name, even if it is a better song, so I vote that.

[Excalibur310]

Im a huge Rage fan but still, I love Last Child. Im voting Killing in the Name

[Addicted to Oi!]

This round is so easy. But, it gives me a platform for a little rant.

Look, I really like RATM, but all of you that are fans of them and mortal enemies of Audioslave, I don't get you. They're both great bands, so why do you guys have a problem with Cornell so much?

Voting off Last Child. Because...it's horrible.

[KsE]

I'm going to vote off Last Child. They're both great songs, but KITN is better by a little bit.

[Woozie]

Look, I really like RATM, but all of you that are fans of them and mortal enemies of Audioslave, I don't get you. They're both great bands, so why do you guys have a problem with Cornell so much?
I'm not one of these people but I can easily say RATM is x50 times better than Audioslave would ever be, for some core reasons:

A) RATM is way more revolutionary. Looking back on it there are people who will say "Oh someone would've thought of that" or something like that. When I say revolutionary I'm talking about the guitarist Tom Morello. What went through his head that made him re-create a DJ scratching technique on a guitar?! And how he actually put it into action and made it sound like something that wasn't crappy and half assed is even better. Same with many of his solos throughout RATM life. Bulls On Parade, Guerilla Radio, Sleep Now in the Fire, Killing in the Name, and the main riff for How I Can Just Kill a Man, and People of the Sun. They all have cool techniques (Maybe not Killing in the Name so much, but it's still awesome and hard to re-create as GH made blantantly clear).

B) It's more rock. The audioslave guitar work seems more like "This is background music for the singer" rather than "You can rock out to this riff." To be honest RATM got worse and worse after each album, but there's always a song with a great riff that makes you want to rock out. To name a few: Killing in the Name, Sleep Now in the Fire, New Millennium Homes, Roll Right, Tire Me, Know Your Enemy, etc. There are good songs for Audioslave that are like those of RATM but not as many.

C) RATM is political, Audioslave is not. This, although not offically release, was the reason why Audioslave broke up. Chris never said "They wanted to be political, and I didn't want to be" or anything like that but that's how it was. Tom Morello is active in many protests, the bassist Tim Commerfield, not so much, but he still has poltical views and wants bands to have them too. And the drummer Brad Wilk is also poltical but not in such an agressive way (He's a buddist). Chris Cornell came from Soundgarden and Temple of the Dog the last word I think of when hearing those bands names is "Political." Overall Chris is rather un-informed of idols of the bands. He didn't even know Che Guevarra was dead, or even who he was or what he did. Everyone likes political views, the music is still the game so it doesn't effect people who just want to listen to music. And it inspiries fans to get more information and gain more knowledge of their setting and enviroment. There are Audioslave fans who hardly know anything about the government system. You won't find a single RATM fan like that.

Also not a major point but Chris Cornell is just a really annoying shift. Since he has completely different types of songs. Instead of being angry and in your face he's mellow and sings about love and stuff. He's also really bad at live shows, and butchers songs by other bands (See: Seven Nation Army, Killing in the Name). The main reason I don't like him is because of his terrible live voice. I know he injured his vocal cords or something during the Superunknown tour, but if something like that happens and you have that much money. Stop making music, or at least don't do live shows.

I hope that answers your question. Just a reminder, I own all three audioslave albums and I like them all. I just like RATM better.

[mr.rpg king]

Last Child. RATM is my sixth favorite band behind

1) Smashing Pumpkins
2) Pearl Jam
3) Soundgarden
4) Alice in Chains
and
5) Nirvana

[Spiner202]

Killing in the name, I really hate that song.

[Addicted to Oi!]

Last Child. RATM is my sixth favorite band behind

1) Smashing Pumpkins
2) Pearl Jam
3) Soundgarden
4) Alice in Chains
and
5) Nirvana

Very nice picks. A child of the 90's, I see. Kinda like me, altough my list goes like this:

1.) Misfits
2.) Less Than Jake (great ska)
3.) The Clash
4.) Nirvana
5.) Green Day

And Woozie, I do agree with you that Cornell sounds awful live, but I don't really think a band has to be political and revolutionary to be good (But check number 3 on my list; one of the more political bands of the 70's).

And I really don't agree with you on the "It's more rock" point. On the first album, sorta. "Out of Exile", definitely...okay, so you're point is patially correct. But with "Revalations", I really don't get that vibe. It's energetic, and loud, but refined. Plus, it really shows off their funk playing more than I think their other albums should have.

If you disagree with me, I understand, it's just that whenever the topic leads to Audioslave, the RATM fans start getting all offensive and whatnot.

[Woozie]

I don't really think a band has to be political and revolutionary to be good (But check number 3 on my list; one of the more political bands of the 70's).
I didn't say that. There are plenty of bands which if they tried to be political would suck ass. But political bands always have that intelligence to them. So you sort of get the feeling that these are real people who follow the media etc. That might just be a personal prefrence though.

I believe I mentioned somewhere in that rant that it was true half the time. Revelations has been the best one yet. I thought Moth was somewhat dull, and Sound of a Gun sucked besides the solo, but other than that it was a great album.

[Kevin]

Ughh, Last Child, again. Killing in the Name is really, really bad, but at least it's fun to play. It's the lesser of two evils in this case.

[JoetheShow]

Last Child plz

[Cytosine]

Last Child. I notice Killing in the Name has no votes until the final round.

[Addicted to Oi!]

Okay, fine. I'm glad I found someone to explain it.

[The Eye in the Sky!]

Last Child. I notice Killing in the Name has no votes until the final round.

"Sweet Child 'O Mine" is the only other song that did that as I can recall. "Bark at the Moon" and "Woman" got really close as well.

10 - "Last Child"
2 - "Killing in the Name"

"Last Child" is finally gone leaving RATM atop here.

Tier 6
"Crazy on You" - Heart
"Trippin' On a Hole in a Paper Heart" - Stone Temple Pilots
"Rock This Town" - Stray Cats
"Jessica" - The Allman Brothers Band
"Stop!" - Jane's Addiction

Let's see... voting off "Rock this Town" because I can barely pass it on Expert and it just plain sucks. The only more boring song to play in the game is "Shout at the Devil"... and even that may be stretching the truth.

[smashbro14]

Rock this Town is harder than it should be on expert and it's one of those songs that you hate because you've heard it a bunch of times.

[Woozie]

You crazy.
Crazy On You. No doubt, boring song.

[TheDukeOfBoston]

Stop! never did anything for me. Rock this town is kind of fun in a nostalgic way.

[Addicted to Oi!]

God, this is a great group, but if I was to chose one..."Jessica."

I love the song, I just like the others more.

[Cytosine]

This, personally, is the worst tier. I think "Jessica" is the only interesting one.

Trippin'.

[mr.rpg king]

Rock This Town.

When was the last time someone told you to turn up the radio on rockability?

[Velocity]

Rock This Town for sure.

Also, Addicted to Oi! needs to be kicked from the forum. :P

[Spiner202]

Rock this town.

[Cluck]

rock this town.

[Kevin]

Rock This Town. It's good and all, but this is quite possibly the best tier in the game. It has some pretty stiff competition.

[Corax]

Rock This Town because it's keeping me from beating that tier on expert.

[The Eye in the Sky!]

8 - "Rock this Town"
1 - "Crazy on You"
1 - "Jessica"
1 - "Stop!"
1 - "Trippin' On a Hole in a Paper Heart"

First time we've ever had every song get a vote. But "Rock this Town" is destroyed.

Tier 6
"Crazy on You" - Heart
"Trippin' On a Hole in a Paper Heart" - Stone Temple Pilots
"Jessica" - The Allman Brothers Band
"Stop!" - Jane's Addiction

Let's see... I think I'll boot off "Crazy On You" because the beginning is frustratingly hard on Expert and its just not worth it to play most of the time due to the boring yet awkward verse riffs.

[Cytosine]

Crazy on You.
Anyone who reads this, congratulations. Anyway, I think Jessica should win.

[The Eye in the Sky!]

I agree that "Jessica" should win. It's my favorite non-Rush instrumental in rock.

[Cytosine]

I like 'Orion' when it comes to instrumentals.

I don't get it when people say this is a great category. It's full of really forgettable tracks.

[Kevin]

This round blows. I wish they could all win. I guess I'll vote off Crazy On You, as much as it pains me to do so. Tiers like this ruin the survivor system.

[Spiner202]

Jessica. very annoying song

[smashbro14]

I only like Jessica here.

I don't remember what Trippin' sounds like at all, so I choose Crazy on You.

[Woozie]

Crazy On You.

[TheDukeOfBoston]

Still going with Stop, Crazy on You was kind of catchy for awhile, but Stop just never did anything for me.

[mr.rpg king]

The best Instrumental is Green Onions by Booker T and The MG's. You can't tell me it wouldn't feel cool to have a slow motion walk up in a movie with that song playing in the background.

My vote goes to Crazy on You for this round because I can't 5 star it on Hard or Expert.

[The Eye in the Sky!]

5 - "Crazy on You"
1 - "Jessica"
1 - "Stop!"

"Crazy on You" is crazy on outta here!

Tier 6
"Trippin' On a Hole in a Paper Heart" - Stone Temple Pilots
"Jessica" - The Allman Brothers Band
"Stop!" - Jane's Addiction

Ahhh... three really fun songs. I'll go with "Stop!" since its the only one I really don't care to listen to outside of GH even if it is fun to play.

[Woozie]

Stop! just because I don't like the song that much.

[Kevin]

"Crazy on You"[/b] is crazy on outta here!
>_>

I wish I had a three-sided coin to toss because I like all three of them equally. Trippin' On a Hole in a Paper Heart is a great song and it's a lot of fun to play, but it's the easiest of the three to FC. Jessica is really fun and relaxing, but some of it is a bit slow in comparison to the other two. Stop isn't as good of a song as the other two, IMO, but it's possibly the most fun. It's challenging but very much doable (I had a run where I only missed seven notes...damn that tiny crazy solo!), and it keeps your fingers moving constantly.

I guess I'll have to go with Stop, though I don't think it's necessarily any worse than the other two.

[Cytosine]

Trippin', because Jessica is awesome and I want to be different. Not that that's the only reason. :paranoid:

[The Eye in the Sky!]

I agree that these three are closely rated. Kevin hit the nail on the head on my opinion of the songs. Stop! is a hidden jewel for me as I forget about it often but it is a ton of fun to pick up and play.

[Velocity]

I'm gonna have to go with "Trippin'" this time around. I like the other two a bit better.

[Spiner202]

Stickin with Jessica. I think Crazy on you was the best song in this tier, maybe not the most fun but definately the best although I had a lot of trouble with the verses on expert and the intro.

[mr.rpg king]

Jessica.

Janes Addiction is my 13th favorite band and STP is my 8th.

[smashbro14]

I'm gonna have to go with "Trippin'" this time around. I like the other two a bit better.
Agreed. I listened to Trippin' again to remind myself what it was, and I wish I voted it off earlier.

[Corax]

Trippin'

I don't really have a reason, except I just like the other two more.

[Vergil9]

I'm Voting off Trippin because in my opinion it doesn't even compare to the other two. Jessica is probably my favorite song in the game and Stop is pretty high up there too.

[The Eye in the Sky!]

6 - "Trippin' On a Hole in a Paper Heart"
3 - "Stop!"
2 - "Jessica"

Long named song is voted off. Boooo.

Tier 6
"Jessica" - The Allman Brothers Band
"Stop!" - Jane's Addiction

"Stop!" because "Jessica" is friggin' awesome.

[Cytosine]

Stop!, for the same reason, really. Jessica is great, and always reminds me of Top Gear, which is a great show.

In case you didn't know, Jessica is the theme song from Top Gear.

[Velocity]

"Stop!" as well. "Jessica" is an awesome song and it's the only one I remember off the top of my head as far as the tune goes.

[Spiner202]

Jessica. Fun but again really annoying.

[Addicted to Oi!]

I have to go with "Jessica" on this one.

I know it seems like herecy, but it's just not as good as Stop!

[SocialMutation]

Stop!

The Allman Brothers are freakin amazing. They're coming to Memphis in May...too bad I can't go...

[mr.rpg king]

Jessica. Stop has my favorite opening to any song. "HERE WE GO!"

[TheDukeOfBoston]

The Brothers Allman are too great to vote off, sticking with Stop! which I've had from the start of the round.

[Kevin]

Stop. It's too hard to vote against Jessica. It's such a great song.

[smashbro14]

Stop. Jessica is just too good.

[Excalibur310]

Stop! The Allman Brothers are awesome

[Vergil9]

Stop! I hate having to vote it off since it's such an awesome song but Jessica is better.

[Cluck]

stop.

and if jessica loses i'll lose all respect for this forum.

[Woozie]

Stop!
Let me just say this though. The Allman Brothers Band is a great band. But this song is not justice to the band. The second greatest guitarist ever (according to rolling stones magazine, the first is Hendrix in case you're wondering) is Duane Allman. Yet they picked a song that was made AFTER Duane Allman died. Big fail on Red Octane's part. But jessica is still an alright song.

[The Eye in the Sky!]

11 - "Stop!"
3 - "Jessica"

"Stop!" has been eliminated.

Tier 7
"Madhouse" - Anthrax
"Carry Me Home" - The Living End
"Laid to Rest" - Lamb of God
"Psychobilly Freakout" - Reverend Horton Heat
"YYZ" - Rush

Yay, my favorite tier in the game. Voting off "Psychobilly Freakout" for massive destruction of my fingers when trying to play it. Soooo hard and can't stand up to the amazing other four songs.

[Kevin]

Madhouse. I never play it. It's a better song than Laid to Rest, but it's not as fun or interesting to play.

[KsE]

I'm gonna have to say Psychobilly. I personally just don't like the song. It was a b*tch on hard, and I haven't even tried it on Expert yet.

[Addicted to Oi!]

I love Psychobilly Freakout, but we all know what song is going to win this tier...

Voting off "Madhouse" for its insane difficulty and how much it hurts my fingers. Plus, it's annoying.

[Corax]

While I hate Psychobilly for keeping me from beating this tier, I think it's a good song and won't be getting my vote for a while.

Madhouse, 'cause YYZ's the best, Psycho the second, then Carry Me Home, Laid to Rest and finally Madhouse. I absolutely despise the song. I really don't know why I do, but I despise it.

[Woozie]

Psychobilly Freakout, lame, really lame song.

[TheDukeOfBoston]

Voting off Laid to Rest. Just didn't seem cool, like Madhouse. That's a catchy tune.

[Spiner202]

Psychobilly Freakout. Every other song is awesome and lately I've been playing a lot of Madhouse on Expert.

After Psychobilly gets voted out (hopefully) this will be the hardest decision for me so far.

[Velocity]

Tough one... I'll go with "Madhouse" this time.

[Excalibur310]

I vote Psychobilly Freakout... not because its hard though, as a song i think its just pretty crappy.

[KingOfBBQ]

Omfg I came back a day late!!! Stop! was like, the best song below the 6th tier. The verse is like the best friggen' part of all the songs. Verse or Chorus, I can't remember which one it is.

Anyway, voting off phycobilly cuz it is a b*tch on hard...

Carry me home is acctualy more of a b*tch because my left middle finger cannot go that fast when i use my trusty DS2.

I keep getting 10k better than my last try but I keep getting 4 stars! I gave up when I got 180k on it...

[Spiner202]

For Carry Me Home on Hard the 5 star cutoff is somewhere in the 180k range so I would keep trying

[smashbro14]

Brian, what the hell are you talking about?

I'm voting off Carry me Home because it's BY FAR the most frustrating song in the game for me. It's not even close to being fun.

[Zell 17]

I'm an idiot. Also, that post never happened. Voting Psychobilly Freakout.

[Cytosine]

Psychobilly Freakout for me.

Annoyingly, YYZ'll probably win. Shame, because Laid to Rest is one of the best songs on the game. Why did so many good songs have to be in one tier? Tier Eight'll be tough, too.

[KingOfBBQ]

For Carry Me Home on Hard the 5 star cutoff is somewhere in the 180k range so I would keep trying

But for me it gets harder and harder everytime to push myself. I force myself to get 100% on intro A and B on the song and try my best on the rapid G notes.

Even when I get 100% on the intro's, and the solo's I keep getting 160k-170k and 180k when I jerk my hand as fast as i can on the rapid notes.

I don't know what I am doing wrong, (I can't remember exactly what I get cuz I keep paying attention to the stars and when I see 4 stars I just continute out of frustration) but I think I am getting 90%-94%. I need some tips, maybe where and when I am using star power?

[mr.rpg king]

Laid to Rest.

Music that's powered by the lead singer screaming is the worst kind of music: Noise.

[KingOfBBQ]

To true, that kind of music should not be aloud on guitar hero under any circumstances. Even if it has a very nice guitar solo, or part.

[The Eye in the Sky!]

8 - "Psychobilly Freakout"
4 - "Madhouse"
2 - "Laid to Rest"
1 - "Carry Me Home"

"Psychobilly Freakout" has been sent packin'.

Tier 7
"Madhouse" - Anthrax
"Carry Me Home" - The Living End
"Laid to Rest" - Lamb of God
"YYZ" - Rush

This time "Laid to Rest". I can't stand the vocals and the part near the end with just the same G-Y chords is highly annoying. The other three are far superior.

[TheDukeOfBoston]

Also going with Laid to Rest for the same reasons, mainly just annoying vocal work.

[Woozie]

Madhouse, boring song. And I think the vocals in Laid to Rest are humourus even if they aren't suppose to be.

[Cytosine]

Madhouse, because Laid to Rest is the best (I'm a poet and I know it), YYZ is good, and I don't want Laid to Rest to go out.

[Addicted to Oi!]

That's bullcrap that Psychobilly Freakout was voted off.

Voting off "Madhouse" because it's still annoying.

[Velocity]

Well since I voted out "Madhouse" last time and it didn't go, I'm sticking with it this time around.

[KsE]

I'll say Madhouse, because I like Lamb of God... I'm guessing I'm the only one though...

[Cytosine]

No, you're not the only LoG liker. I personally think Laid to Rest should win this one, possibly the whole thing. But then again, when it comes to music, I'm incredibly biased.

[smashbro14]

Carry Me Home again.

I absolutely despise every song in this tier except for YYZ, just for the record.

[Zell 17]

Carry Me Home again.

I absolutely despise every song in this tier except for YYZ, just for the record.

Yeah, none of them strike me as particularly good. Except for YYZ.

I'll say Laid to Rest

[mr.rpg king]

Laid to Rest. Lamb of God is one of the ten worst bands ever. At least Slipknot has one good song.

[Corax]

Madhouse, for the same reasons as stated before.

[The Eye in the Sky!]

6 - "Madhouse"
4 - "Laid to Rest"
1 - "Carry Me Home" (lol smash)

"Madhouse" is voted off.

Tier 7
"Carry Me Home" - The Living End
"Laid to Rest" - Lamb of God
"YYZ" - Rush

"Laid to Rest" again. "Carry Me Home" is my third favorite song in the game to play for sheer fun to difficulty ratio. "YYZ" is my god, messiah, allah in this game and life.

[Velocity]

"Carry Me Home" isn't one that I'm familiar with... *goes and listens to it on YouTube*

Eh. It's catchier than "Laid to Rest". So I vote off "Laid to Rest."

[Cytosine]

Carry Me Home. YYZ is good, but not great (:P Eye) and Laid to Rest is incredible.

[Wildchild]

Carry Me Home. The other two are just too good in comparison.

[Vergil9]

Laid to Rest because Carry Me Home is one of the best songs in the game hands down. And honestly I'll be a bit sad if it doesn't win this round. Strange since the same thing goes for YYZ. Those are probably my two favorite songs that I really can't play very well.

[Woozie]

Laid to Rest.

[Spiner202]

Laid to rest isn't as fun to play as Carry Me home but it is a better song... Laid to rest gets my vote.

[Addicted to Oi!]

Lamb of God is not great...in fact, they're terrible.

Voting off "Laid to Rest".

[The Eye in the Sky!]

Carry Me Home. YYZ is good, but not great (:P Eye) and Laid to Rest is incredible.

Oh, when you try to 100% on the bass in real life, it really is incredible. My brother (who plays guitar) and I can replicate the entire part of the song before the long synthesized piece except for some of the various bass fills. It's incredibly hard but satisfying. :cool2:

5 - "Laid to Rest"
3 - "Carry Me Home"

[smashbro14]

Carry Me Home :mad:

[mr.rpg king]

Laid to Rest because I hate god of lamb

[TheDukeOfBoston]

Laid to Rest, as I've done this whole round.

[Kevin]

Laid to Rest. It's fun, but the song itself is terrible. CMH and YYZ are far superior.

[KsE]

Carry Me Home, because YYZ and LTR are both really good.
