Yeah. After months of being stuck on this song, tonight I guess was my night. I not only beat it, I beat it with four stars. Then right after that, I turned around and beat One as well! That song had me stuck as well, never being able to get past 85% or so.
So yeah, go me. Anybody who had played Guitar Hero 3 can attest to how challenging these two songs are.

Well I just beat Misirlou on GH2 on expert. The kicker? I didn't use ANY star power.
As for ONE, i made it 96% on hard before i got booed. Kinda froze.

Yay, well done! What scores did you get? I always make people play Raining Blood when I play online, and we need a tie breaker song. Since most people can't do it, but i can. I'm mean like that

I'm mean like that Hmm, I don't remember the exact scores, but probably around 175,000 and four stars on Raining Blood, and around 250,000 and four stars on One. And MrKennedy, here's a tip. Save your star power for late. And even when you run into a part where you know you have to use it, use it only when you're about to go into the red zone. That way, you have a longer time to get back into the green zone, instead of using it, then blowing it after you've already used it. As for me personally, I have to use it on really fast scales (you know, like green red yellow, orange blue yellow, etc) when they're all in a row. yet with really fast noted in succession that are the same color, I just hold the button down and strum up and down both ways as fast as I can. (Normally, I just strum down.)

Wow. Congrats... If my X-Box hadn't just died again, I'd feel inspired enough to give it another go myself.

Another hint. If you have trouble near the beginning with the triple green notes, play Barracuda on expert or whatever. Plenty of practice. Master the beginning of this song so you have star power for the upcoming onslaught. Flail away at the buttons until you're almost in red, then activate and you should be in the clear for the most part.

I've beaten Hard Mode, but that song's still a bastard. The weird thing is, I always feel like I'm doing the scale progressions correctly, but, alas, the system doesn't feel the same way.
Now, the last two sets of songs (the Kaiju set followed by Lou's Inferno) on Expert? I don't think I'll ever beat them. The only one of those on Expert that I got through was Knights of Cydonia, and that with three stars.

After a while, the second to last tier and the last venue (minus One) became ridiculously easy for me. One is still a crazy pain in my butt though.

Actually, probably thanks to this thread, I just got done knocking off a couple more from the Kaiju set on Expert, so all I have left is Before I Forget...and I HATE that block in the middle where you have the running chords/two note patterns. UGH. Got a couple more 5-stars in Hard Mode, as well; just have to get through three more songs (including One) on that. Harsh.
