I couldn't believe that we failed out AFTER the song was over...ridiculous. Seriously, I think I was getting a little delirious at the end there. My arms, leg and brain were mush. Great job gang!

Props to the freddies for making it thru the battle! I didn't participate since I already have what they're giving as prizes but it actually sounds like it could possibly have been fun ;D. Good job all.
p.s. How do you fail after the song is over? LOL

Well Luxe, it's not easy. It takes very precise coordination by all band members. I think Doug Reemer said it best in Baseketball..."It took everyone working as a team today to lose this one." At the very end of Peace Sells, Ronnie failed out on guitar and I didn't want to miss out on the fun, so I tanked out as well on the drums. Ghost and Cherry finished the song, but I think there was a sustain note at the end on lead and all we could do was watch as our little red meter plummeted with no music playing. Song failed: 99% complete. I think it was probably more like 99.9%. At that point I fell over face-first onto my blue pad.

more like crying, after 30 straight songs of devil music to fail one the last on at the very last second is like losing the superbowl when you are leading with 2 seconds left only to have those damn patriots rip your heart out FU brady the panthers should have won................a little off track but you get the picture.
we were having fun with it but nobody seemed to talk after song 20 I think we were zombie's by then.

I just got an e-mail from the MTV Staff. I won the Advance Into Overdrive Battle of the Bands sweepstakes. Yaaaay! So, I don't know what the prize is yet, but I will definitely share with the other members of the band. But, if it's IONs, I'm keeping them for myself. lol. Thanks again to everyone who helped put Freddy on the board. I'll keep you posted as to what the prize(s) is(are). Keep rockin'!

Did you guys hear about the screw-up in the initial top-5 prize giveaways? Some bonehead gave away the top-5 prizes to the highest scoring bands who were only on Xbox and on the 1st challenge. They totally disregarded the other 2 challenges and the entire PS3 lineup. Shit was crazy.
They finally corrected it the other day and now the real top-5 cross console bands got the prizes they deserved. But the kicker is that the bands who received DLC in error were able to keep it.

SWEET!!! That is great news, FHS! Can't wait to hear what Da Russian Bunnies won!
I can't thank you enough for putting this band together in such short notice. Really did seem like it was destined to never happen, but thanks to you, redskinsrock, and dady5000.... we had enough free time to plow through the 3 setlists and post some nice scores!

its a shame i already have all of that except for the cover, I have 2 wrist bands and a bandanna that I won at the crew fest 2 years ago, so I cant use any of that stuff and I have the beatles guitar so I don't think it would fit even if cherry was giving it away.
