The way the 4/4 time fits and makes and progress through the song and on the guitar solos it goes to a 3/4 it's just so good

[@onecrazyasspanda]

Ladies and Gentlemen, I Present to you Rock Band 4's version of Llama by phish.

[@dvon1097]

llama is easier than this

[@julien2231]

llama does not even compare...

[@HardandchewyHD]

Reminds me more of Bleed By Meshuggah but that is RBN

[@julien2231]

+William Haun nothing like meshuggah AT ALL!!!!!

[@HardandchewyHD]

+julien tremblay Both have a very annoying guitar riff with excessive amounts of HOPO's to strums that covers more than 70% of the song. The music is quite different but when it comes to guitar play, they remind me alike

[@Felldohswrath]

One of the few that loves this song. I've seen this band live, and I own Fantasy Empire on vinyl. Friggin phenomenal job also 👏

[@coltonriffle2310]

Oh look. They took the very thing that made Saturday Night's Alright For Fighting such a challenging song and gave us a 7-minute song of nothing but that.

[@NoxxyTK]

Holy hell you did it! Congrats! You're on your way to getting a FGFC :3

[@UCNTIsvjEd-cW_MsOoOpeG2w]

i cant even complete this lol

[@Birkinbacon]

This song actually sounds awesome and epic

[@dvon1097]

This is the only devil head song i cant 5* and get at least 95% on

[@Adamsmasher93]

This song is deceptively tough. But for those watching, if this song were ever on a future guitar hero game, which characters will you assemble for a band to play this monster of a song.

[@aftertheelectrike1847]

Only devils song I have passed less than 5% of the time. And when I pass, I get 81-82%.

[@fatcontroller12]

that song fucked up my stats, lol. I was only NARROWLY able to get gold stars and thats as far as I'm getting with that song.

[@aftertheelectrike1847]

@@fatcontroller12 ahah. I typically got 3-4* until I figured out the very dirty, imprecise way to get through it.

[@fatcontroller12]

@@aftertheelectrike1847 I wound up getting 98% on that song for drums, which way was that you used?

[@cicabeot1]

Lightning Bolt doesn’t have a guitarist. So I have no clue what those solos are actually supposed to be. Heavily distorted bass?

[@adriel68]

Yea

[@ntate123]

Do you use hammer-ons and pull-offs during the strumming part after the first solo? I'm trying to figure out a consistent way to hit that damn part lol

[@aWiseMoose]

yes I do. I also anchor the bottom note for every one and alt-strum all the way through, starting on a downstrum. hope this helps.

[@brawlpro]

+guitarheroROXS what do you mean anchor the note

[@c-iasona]

brawlpro holds down the lower note while hitting the higher notes

[@sLaYaHz]

Did you have to use different calibration numbers in RB4 or did your numbers from RB3 work well? If not, how much did you have to add/withdraw? Id like to be a bit prepared and have some numbers to refer to while I'm waiting for my RB4 copy arrive :)

[@aWiseMoose]

+sLaYaHz My numbers are huge compared to RB3. I use 95 audio and 114 video. I tried calibrating once, got those numbers, and they have worked perfectly all throughout, so I'm keeping them. For reference, I am using an Asus VG248QE, a 144hz 1ms response time monitor. For RB3 I use something like 15 audio, 35 video.

[@AbyssionQC]

+guitarheroROXS I wonder how bad it would be on CRT considering everyone have to use like 100 more than on RB3 which imply almost 100ms of base lag lol

[@aWiseMoose]

+AbyssionQC Well since you can't natively run X1 or PS4 on CRT, any converter you use will cause a bit of lag. RevengeofParzrevenge uses a CRT with his PS4, and he just posted a rant on how bad RB4 is, in which he touched on calbiration. He still has issues.

[@AbyssionQC]

Ouch, hopefully it's fine on 1ms monitors

[@sLaYaHz]

+guitarheroROXS Fortunately I have a specific 40" Sony Bravia model that has among the lowest input lag ever according to the biggest calibration/lag forums and sites, and well I can confirm it myself. But the thing is that RB3 actually have some built-in lag so even if you have a almost lag free TV you will still suffer from video lag. Im using V: 30 in RB3 and since the TV have around 5ms INPUT LAG (response time and input lag is totally different things) id say that RB3 have around 20-25ms built-in lag on Xbox. But everyone is different, some people tend to hit notes extremely early and doesnt even experience any lag while I hit/read the notes almost spot-on. Anyway Im glad i bought this tv, calibration has worked like a charm, in GH (any game except GH3 and GH2) its very close to perfect on 0ms and GH3 around 10ms. So remember anyone who read this: if it says 1ms on your monitor, its response time NOT input lag. The lowest you can find as of now is probably 8ms input lag

[@RobGHH]

how'd you hit all the grace parts?

[@TheSimulacrumAudio]

Talent

[@zooms7889]

This song would be much better if it was shorter; it just drags on way too long

[@zooms7889]

like you could cut out 2:23 to 4:01 and it would be much better since that's basically the section after the intro played a second time in a row

[@NJdevilsswedishfan]

In the running for most annoying, cacophonous and unfun song in RB/GH history

[@PrestonHelms]

Nice, This chart is funny to watch

[@jacktrueman2859]

Which is the hard part?

[@Tristin471]

You know you're doing good when you hit 5 stars less than halfway into the song lol

[@vellycanelly7429]

I fucking suck at this peice of shit.

[@cypherking5546]

This song on Pro Drums X, is a Son of a Bitch
