Hassle Night

"No Hassle Night" turned out to be a hassle tonight as it took quite a few tries to pass the crazy drum intro... :) Phoenix eventually passed it by treating the red notes as a fast roll. We can add that song to the list of "maxed out" songs (now totalling 5, including "Saucy Jack" which we also played tonight, plus "Thank You Boys", "Cups and Cakes" and "Doll").

After playing the classic song "Godzilla", we ended up playing another 23 with the optimal line-up. These were all songs where our score was below 400K (titles from letters G to T). Next week there is no new DLC so we'll finish the "below 400K" songs and then start the "below 500K" ones.

After the main set, we played another 8 songs with the Trapper on Bass and some instrument swaps. We still managed to increase 3 of those songs past 400K. It was neat that the Trapper still assumed his duties as Pathmaster while playing Bass.

Our career score is now up 12M to 958M. If only the PS3 leaderboards could finally update (broken since the last patch), we could see our new total at the "All Songs" Leaderboards.

Highlights:
- Stars breakdown for the 24 songs (not counting the last 8): Gold stars (10), 5 stars (10), 4 stars (4, for "Parasite (Live)", "Life is Beautiful", "Sick, Sick, Sick" and "That's How I Escaped My Certain Fate")
- Bongoo was the "Top Performer" for the most songs (14), followed by Sylvie (11), Raikan (8), Trapper (2) and Phoenix (1)
- Sylvie had the most FCs (7), followed by Raikan and Bongoo (3 each)
- Sylvie uses the "Wah-Wah" effect on Bass and it gets pretty funny during songs like "Sick, Sick, Sick"
- The crazy long Big Rock Ending of "Iron Maiden (Live)" is a workout as it goes to more than 100K points... and then we miss it! :) It's pretty tough on drums...
