Guitar Hero 2 - Freebird 100% FC

Here's my FC of Freebird... That's Right... FREEBIRD!!!!

[@TreyShawn42]

Biggest twist ending to a game in my life. When I was 10 I played this song for the first time on expert, first time ever hearing the song, and the buildup to it? "Are you sure you want this encore? This song is pretty hard!" Then it starting off really slow, THEN PICKING UP AND NOT SLOWING DOWN AND IT JUST KEEPS GOING, YOU THINK ITS WINDING DOWN BUT ITS NOT. I cried watching this, the sheer nostalgia.

[@MrWii000]

Clearly, you never HEARD the song before playing it. HAVE you?

[@nexornator]

when Guitar Hero games were awesome, in those times the track selection of rock music was spot on. Activision killed the franchise cause all those damn versions with pop music included ughhhh, it didn't die cause they say it was a gimmick Activision just killed the franchise.

[@DaveyLeeSmity]

I completely agree with you on that, that's why their company name should be changed to Activi$ion, that's what they care about is money. They screwed us over with the GHTV setlist having the really kickass songs, but we have to pay something in order to play them, if they we're smart they should've kept how it was in the past, pay for the song at a cheap price and play it as many times as you wish as long as you have it. It's not a fantastic experience having to suck their groin in order to play them.

[@elishahahn3064]

it started sucking after 3. Except live, it wasn't great but it was ok.

[@DaveyLeeSmity]

Agreed, except I think Warriors of Rock was great due to a decent setlist, plus the Megadeth songs we're a great addition to them.

[@elishahahn3064]

***** I haven't played wor yet, but I own like 6 gh games though.

[@BM-mw4nv]

+Elisha Hahn I liked Gh5, of course once live came out and it was mostly pop they killed it

[@YeahSenzo]

Love how it's goes from Slow to Badass!!

[@DaveyLeeSmity]

+Yeah Senzo F'N Right!! I guess people must really like this song despite it not being that hard of a song, compared to some of the other ones.

[@dalton8921]

Lynyrd has some good skills. But that guitarist. Wow! "Lord help me, I can't chanyanyanyanyanyange. Won't you fly-i Freebird?" Then, the rocking out comes. If only I could do this song perfectly. And I could. If my arms didn't get tired lol

[@davidessing1237]

Yeah Senzo Kingsman Church Scene

[@therunawaykid6523]

One of my favourite ever songs

I love that attitude.

[@chewychomp8659]

Not according to Jeremy Piven in PCU

[@jungleboogie78]

That must be an awesome feeling to achieve this as a true fan!!

[@DaveyLeeSmity]

+jungleboogie78 But of course since it is a pretty tough song but hey it took a while for me for some wacky reason since it's not as hard as some of the other songs in the game. This isn't my best FC of all time but it kinda got to me when I got it again, maybe since GH2's HOPOs system can be weird sometimes.

[@hernanbenitez4162]

I remember playing this when i was 6 or 7 years old and I used to play it on easy or medium cuz my fingers were too small to reach the end and now i just reach and remember those good memories

[@DaveyLeeSmity]

+Hernan Benitez Yep the learning struggle was real.

Unpopular opinion: GH2 was the best guitar hero.

[@Ryu98Drummer]

3 was The Best

[@ismfofisawesome3]

GH2 was my favorite mostly because it was really the only one i played

[@dhixon8014]

gh2 lowkey had the best setlist

[@GeXExtremist]

world tour and gh3 had the best setlist

[@DaveyLeeSmity]

I do like 2 and 3 the best, the others we're ok even though there are some songs I adore in each game.

[@TannerBraungardt]

I have beat every song except for the last 8 on expert mode and i'm stuck on madhouse and carry me home😭😭 so hard need help

Mr Bear So you just subbed to me so that you can just repeat your same pathetic insults. You're just a part of the cancer of haters. Hope you like the next big thing in thriller rides called "The Ban-Wagon."

[@calebsawyer0719]

Don't crush his enthusiasm like that, pal.

[@calebsawyer0719]

If you thought the shirts was cool, then maybe putting some rock and roll posters all over your walls will make things a whole lot more awesome for you.

[@igormendes3648]

Excelent Music and amazing performance !Congratulations!!

[@TannerBraungardt]

My notes never register on this damn song

[@baker8981]

+Tanner Braungardt What system? If you're missing Hammer Ons, I would recommend you turn on hyperspeed because it allows you to be more precise. You have to be very precise with Hammer Ons in this game compared to others, like GH3.

[@TannerBraungardt]

+nitt i'm on ps2, and yes it's the hammer ons... Not sure if I can turn on hyperspeed on that

[@baker8981]

Tanner Braungardt In the main menu press Orange, Blue, Orange, Yellow, Orange, Blue, Orange, Yellow it should enable you to be more precise

[@DaveyLeeSmity]

Yeah, hyperspeed really helps. Sometimes when it's slower, it feels like I hit it early and the notes are more difficult to read as well for me.

[@Jeffro-xy3jg]

Dude you were AMAZING!!!!!

[@TheChetlew]

That was AWESOME! That was intense just watching. I can't even get even get close on Beginner mode.

[@DaveyLeeSmity]

Thank you so very kindly about that!! It's just practice, practice, practice!!

Puts on lynrd skybrd shirt to play freebird. props to you my man

[@DaveyLeeSmity]

Hey if I got a shirt of a band to the corresponding song, I try. Thanks so kindly.

[@PUBBYDO]

I remember I was going on a GH2 campaign binge back in the day (Because I didn't know there was such thing as cheats to get all of the tracks). I wasn't that good, so a few songs were very frustrating to complete. I started the "encore song," without realizing that it was actually free bird, so I expected it to be impossible for me to complete, like a fast, heavy metal shredding track, because of the amazing intro cutscene to the encore. But when the first chord played, I realized what it was, and i had to hold back the tears, man. It was beautiful. Still amazing to watch today. Brings back the memories.

[@diegobreezemartinez]

Awesome bro!

I, for one, think you did excellent on this one, man. And may I say, is that, that is an awesome shirt you've got on. All I have at home is a Nirvana shirt, a Metallica shirt, and a RHCP shirt.

[@DaveyLeeSmity]

Thank you so very kindly about that. Yeah, I have a BIG variety of music interests, so I have quite a collection of band shirts myself. xD
