Dead Black (Heart of Ice) by Soul Remnants - Full Band FC

So we got this earlier tonight second try. How the actual fuck. I don't even know what else to say, other than the consistency of the gentlemen involved in this FBFC is second to none. We also figured that this would make for a good starter to a two-part interview for our friend Gal, who joined us locally here with other friends to get this and many other awesome songs! I personally think that this is the best local FBFC that we've done, or perhaps that has been done in general. Anyway, I'll get right into it. Shoutout to Travis for providing the questions, and Randa for lending us her account to get this fantastic accomplishment.

1. How long have you been rhythm gaming?
I started playing GHWT when a friend of mine got it at the beginning of 2009, and got the game for myself for PS2 at July of 2009. Been in love (for the most part) ever since
2. What is your favorite chart to play on any instrument?
So hard to pick, and it depends on whether I'm trying to FC or not, but overall I think it'd be Alaska on drums and Firefight on guitar. I really can't think of a favorite in the good ol' GH games, but it should be known that I love playing a lot of songs on that game too.
3. What is your second favorite color?
Brown
4. What is your proudest rhythm gaming accomplishment?
I think Matt and Ben already gave a similar wonderful answer, but I'm definitely most proud that from being a super big fanboy of the team back around 5 years ago, I got to meet a great amount of incredible people, some still active and some are not, that I would consider close friends to any degree. I think the fact that I finally got to make the trip to the US in order to have some of the best times with the friends I made is a great closure to this chapter, and I'm definitely proud I could make such a dream to become real life experience. And it was amazing. Even trying to pick specifically a rhythm gaming accomplishment feels impossible, as I love most of what I get and got to do, but some highlights solo wise would be Dillinger Escape Plan Full Artist OMBFC, Bland Street Bloom OMBFC or All Bodies OMBFC, and Full Band wise would be Vicarious FBFC, Do You Feel Like We Do, and this very FBFC
5. What's your worst ever choke?
My worst choke has to be Telos on pro drums in the last 5 seconds, especially due to how much I love the song as well as how the choke wasn't redeemed to this day
6. Why is Alomomola your favorite Pokemon?
Ugh. Let it be known that Alomomola, other than the palindromic name, is one of my most hated pokemon. I hate pokemon who's only purpose is sit around and stall the oppontent. Special shoutout to Umberon and Mega Sableye
7. A man who lives on the tenth floor takes the elevator down to the first floor every morning and goes to work. In the evening, when he comes back; on a rainy day, or if there are other people in the elevator, he goes to his floor directly. Otherwise, he goes to the seventh floor and walks up three flights of stairs to his apartment. Can you explain why?
I actually couldn't explain why, and I cracked my head for a solid 20 minutes about it. Luckily Google is a good friend, and thus searching "man elevator stairs question" worked. I feel even stupider that after reading the answer, I remembered that I've heard this question years ago. If any of you readers are interested in the answer, I'll just cut it short and link the answer here: www.mycoted.com/The_man_in_th...
Thanks Travis............
8. You've been an integral part of ERG over the years and I respect your amazing skills as one of the best multi ever and your never ending enthusiasm is legendary. Is there a moment you can pick out as your favorite over the years?
I appreciate the super kind words friend, definitely means a lot. In regards to a favorite moment, I can definitely remember September 14th, Friday Morning when I woke up to see the ERG recruitment results video. My PS3 GT was one of the last ones to appear, and it was such a relief seeing it. I was super joyful as a just a random player around to think of all the new and super skillful people I can play with, as well as songs I want to do. Definitely a moment of true happiness, that in hindsight did have a huge impact on my life, starting a new chapter, as cliche as it probably sounds. Seeing as I'm typing this very answer in the same room as some of the people I met during this chapter, I feel like I'm not exaggerating.
Tune into the next video for the rest!

HOW MANY SOLOS DID YOU PUT INTO THIS!?!?!

[@Capsicle2099]

@@JNewsted1988 Yes

[@chromatrescu]

@Soul Remnants what do you think about the Pro chart tho?

[@TR1PLE_6]

Holy shit, that 104 measure break on vocals!

[@GamerErman2001]

Wow I can't believe someone FC'd the vocals to this song!

[@Hopecaster]

Prince Daniel Let alone the patience to wait that long on the rest

[@kiwinglo6737]

Or “sing” to a song like this...

[@ZoSo1579]

Sing to me, sirens.

[@TheyCallMeLucas]

This is another one of those FBFCs that just makes me incredibly proud to know such legends and get to hang out with them in real life. I never thought when ERG started that I would get to meet anyone from it in person. Now, many moons later, I'm regularly having the most top tier players travel thousands of miles across the country or globe to join in playing this game locally and just obliterating any and everything like it's nothing. You guys have so much respect from me. Sadly, few understand the struggle that is playing locally. What a way to go out with a bang for this meetup though, hot damn.

[@ZoSo1579]

All my love.

[@zyphrr8187]

Alright I can do this on drums 5:52 I give up

[@ryandavison7182]

dashie profile pic. nice.

[@kiwinglo6737]

I can do this Beer hold my son

[@JNewsted1988]

Your profile pic fits this comment! XD

[@GsLeonidas]

To cap off an absolutely perfect trip with this was truly a pleasure. Playing locally with some absolutely fantastic ladies and gentlemen is always a blast to do. Speaking of blasts, Gal is an absolute monster to do this on local calibration. The interview is fantastic as always and I cannot wait to read part 2. Where's Feast and the Famine though?

[@shantisanti6920]

Great song ❤❤❤❤❤ one of my faves

[@uncommon_shadow2742]

When I get Rock Band 4 again, I'm gonna do a challenge. That's Inspired by a challenge that was done on AC/DC Live: Rock Band Track Pack. (Long story short, there was this KZbinr that was big in the Rock Band community for doing vocals were he would FC Jailbreak by AC/DC Where mid-song he will just rush out to his car, go to a store and buy a drink just in time to finish the song)

[@imadepoopies]

erg interviews always make my day

[@drod459]

Awesome job! Love this song!

[@jaws5370]

Amazing job, man. I've been working on mastering this. It's difficult XD. I can do a hard difficulty and get a 96%, whereas the expert difficulty, I will get a 85% or so. Practice makes perfect. You're amazing!

[@AyyItsMidnite]

Just another day of making me feel bad at this game

[@xJC4Rx]

I hope by now you've learned audio synchronisation, because the notes play before you hit them and it's making it difficult to watch. That aside, well done on a full band FC. Played this for the first time yesterday. It was fun, but an assbeating.

[@fatcontroller12]

3:43 104 measures of rest!?! Holy crap!!!

[@NunoVH]

beautiful

[@vellycanelly7429]

I've been waiting for this.

[@chrishall1923]

singer gold DENIED

[@timeparadoxxx3875]

where can i find guitar tabs for 3:45 ??????!

[@VFK2]

Well played

[@shxllalt]

Very impressive

[@Hopecaster]

The first solo's always bothered me because I SWEAR some of the notes there are off-pitch even though they're probably not. EDIT: Speaking of solos, how many are even in this song? XD I've counted like, 4 maybe 5 solos already it's insane. I think there's 6 or 7 in total I don't remember

[@argosdraconia6145]

Great job, guys! 😄

[@abossnightmare2766]

holy crap

[@dylanmosley4117]

WOW

[@raspberriel]

OMFG WHAT

[@user-cr8tn5ic1w]

[@natesmith8735]

Can't wait to play this online next week

[@Aleuz]

Nate Smith there's going to be actual online multiplayer?

[@Nitroausome]

holy shit, nice! now do hour of rats

[@joeym2723]

I can barely do Hard difficulty on drums...

[@peteg9133]

Not sure the band knows this exists, im gonna show this to the guitarist. sick!

[@thecountoftuscany3447]

the band already is aware of it. They left a comment and its the top comment if you sort the comments by "top comments"

[@cindydurand102]

Dream team got 2nd ever fbfc on this song

[@steverogers1437]

How tf are you supposed to hit that on the drums at 2:41

[@joshkary5040]

It's not easy, but it is fairly common in this type of music

[@calvinator.7]

Practice makes perfect

[@anthochamb]

!!!

[@bickbibly1]

that one person who disliked this, you smell Also 4:26 and beyond kinda sounds like a theme that would play in the main characters epic battle especially with that solo

[@aftertheelectrike1847]

The fact that a solo vocals FC it literally worth only 1.2% or so of the band FC score tells you how little vocals is in this song lol

[@no66666]

They need to add ruthenium and lead

[@Mishatje2901]

Umberon LOL

[@ShxIl]

I wish I was this good I been playing drums irl for 10 years and I still only have a 833 skill on rb4 😭 I just can’t hit 900

[@integrapermissions4633]

fuk dis on brutal & xpert vocals , fcd on both

[@Rainkonen43]

Поздравляю, вы задроты. (South park)

[@prodigyfilms8170]

I hated the drums on this song i could never best it. Fuck all of it 😂

[@calvinator.7]

The instrumental part of this song is fantastic, but the vocals are a little wack. I know that is how metal songs are, but I wish this wasn’t a metal song and it had normal sounding lyrics. The words themselves are fine but not the sound of him saying them.

[@holycrapedd3899]

Calvinator 7 wdym it’s pretty good for me at least

[@integrapermissions4633]

gee next time use 1 mic k

[@stonebrick1562]

This song would be 200% better if the singer didn’t scream the lyrics

[@nickdasudemuntate5654]

well the screaming actually makes it easier because all the notes don't have pitches so you can just sing whatever and not fear of missing
