Ciaran, did you beat Tom Morello? Both he and Slash have both kicked my ass so I've gone back to GH2 determined to 5-star everything then its back to GH3 to take them on again. GH3 is definitely more difficult.



Yep, I was surprised after half an hour on (my son's PS2!) and MY Gh3!!! to meet Tom Morello (had never heard of him before  )
I did get trashed by him, but then got a chance to play him again after a session in Practice mode - Then beat him!

I think I'll be revisiting GH2 a fair bit too - still can't play Freebird
Anyone else got the game?

YES YES YES! :D
Great idea to start this one.

First off, Tom Morello is the guitarist for Rage Against The Machine and Audioslave. And it took me about 20 attempts to beat him. Trick is to get battle powers (2 in a row if you can, but wait about 5 seconds before using them).

And if you think he's tough. Wait til you meet Lou later ;)
Was in Jen's the other night and still managed to ace The Devil Went Down to Georgia, while fueled with baileys, guinness and jack daniels! My crowning moment.

Also for GHIII you need to play co-op career to unlock certain tracks.
GH1, 2 80's i've unlocked all the songs on too. Love the game to bits :D

Great idea Ciaran 

My kids have the DS and the brain training game. I finally managed to get my brain age down to 54yrs from 72yrs over the christmas. Still along way to go till I reach 20yrs.....the perfect score
You are what you wanna be....age doesn't matter

Shaun, after that session the other night, we'd been playing career mode and so had racked up a shedload of cash so I went on a spending spree in the store and unlocked all the bonus tracks then bought a nice goth black outfit for Judy Nails.

Now its back to GH2 to raise my game.

Ahem, it's three FULL days, BR. And I probably do more work in those days than some people do in a full week. (Not looking at anyone in particular but some people do seem to spend a lot of time here when they're supposed to be in work! )

I advanced my career a bit today - got to battle Slash. Man, he's tough, but beat him on the 3rd try. Had to overload his amp and break one of his strings. (sorry)

I made a bit of money though, and could've bought Casey a new outfit, but spent the money instead playing a gig with Slash instead .  Right choice eh Shaun?
