Curse you, Dragonforce!

I've been playing a lot of Guitar Hero 3 lately. I'm not great, but not bad. I can do most of the songs on hard, and the rest on medium. Then I got cocky.

I decided to try and tackle Through the Fire and Flames.

I did a quick run through on easy, just to get my fingers warmed up. No sweat. Got a 96%. So I pumped it up to medium, figuring that would also prove to be an easy task.


I think my arm may have fallen off about midway through the song, and I'm pretty sure I passed out at one point. When I came to, I was trudging through the first solo, unable to feel my fingers, and my shirt had somehow come off.

I soldiered on and finished the song, but just by the skin of my teeth. Now my arm hurts, my ego lies in shambles, and I'm afraid to play that song again.
 
Hehe. I play expert. The only songs I can't beat are "Raining Blood" and "Through the Fire and Flames". My neighbor is a Guitar Hero prodigy. He has never been able to beat the Dragonforce, but one moring he just got up and played it and beat it in expert without starpower! He showed me and he beat three times in a row without starpower at about 85%. Sad isn't it. At least he plays real guitar though.:rolleyes:
