Epic wah-wah bass moments!

This week we had some epic wah-wah bass moments that either had us shaking in our boots (or socks), or made us stop playing as we laughed hysterically.

Of particular note was "Last Night on Earth", where during the overdrive it really felt like a 2nd earthquake had hit Ottawa (we had a 5.0 one recently). We did turn on "Bass Boost" in the options recently, but I'm sure it still would have felt pretty intense without it.

The craziest wah-wah bass moment definitely goes to "See You Again" by Miley Cyrus, where even the non-overdrive intro had a bass sound that was hilariously over the top. We hardly ever restart unless we miss the first unison bonus, but the sound that came out of those speakers during the overdrive was the cause of our first ever laughter-induced restart... :)

DMan couldn't make it to the session after all, so we had our usual line-up with Bongoo on voxtar, Phoenix on drums and Raikan on bass. We actually managed to finish all the remaining Green Day songs on top of the 2 weeks of new DLC, so it was an especially long but productive session. It helped that it was Canada Day the next day.

We gained 37M points (1244M to 1281M), which would technically move us up to 9th place in the "All Songs" Leaderboards the next time it is updated.

Highlights:
- Stars breakdown for the 45 songs: Gold stars (6), 5 stars (34), 4 stars (4, for "Burn It to the Ground", "Battle Royale", "Before the Lobotomy" and "Jumper '09"), 3 stars (1, for "Undone")
- Raikan was the "Top Performer" for the most songs (27), followed by Phoenix (11) and Bongoo (7)
- Bongoo was the "Worst Performer" for the most songs (39), followed by Phoenix (2) and Raikan (1)
- Raikan had the most FCs (2), followed by Bongoo (1)
- Raikan's funniest wah-wah bass moments were during "See You Again", "Last Night on Earth", "21st Century Breakdown", "American Eulogy" and "Sick"
- We all get 99% on "Restless Heart Syndrome", but Phoenix gets the edge as "Top Performer", giving Raikan his first and only "Worst Performer" song of the night
