Operation Ground and Pound - DragonForce Expert (All Instruments) Rock Band 3 DLC

[etyenracer99]

Are the other instruments playing?!?!?!??!?!?!

[AliensSexH]

STRUMMING IS FUN! MORE STRUMMING IS MORE FUN

HOPO'S ARE LAME

[dakodo100]

FOREVER ALONE :D

[Thetalkingblanket]

My fingers for guitar would have already fallen off so yeah.....

My foot would be trying to dislocate so I would stop hitting footpad

And my voice would be trying to lose itself.

[dutchmanx1]

and becouse guitar hero is faster in most songs this might becme a real challange

[dutchmanx1]

this song will also come in the next guitat hero

[MrRatedRRedneck]

@dutchmanx1 Late reply but, GH is dead WOR was the last one.

[IceOnFire26]

no friends XD



[EdgeShed5853]

Why is there only two people in your band playing?

[PartyBusGaming]

@EdgeShed5853 Do you know how hard it is to find 5 people to come to your house and play this song on Expert?

This is just showing the chart.

[MyCoolboy17]

the gf charts on rb were 100 times harder on rb then gh and the intro to operation ground and pound should have been mostly hammer on's that would have made it funner and better

[wolff20o]

@MyCoolboy17 You just say that cause you cant play the intro.

[MyCoolboy17]

@wolff20o I have an intro fc of this, I can post a video if u need me to

[TheJaredPwns]

than play the damn drums

[CbassNL]

Horrible excuse for music.

[ArbiterBullet]

what the hell is 6:00?

[ForAllWhoFail]

I like that Dragonforce song where it says "far away"

[Owner2105]

I just finished this song about 10 minutes ago.

83% Expert guitar, no fail was OFF.

180,000 points.

Ranked in the top 100 for score.

You guys have no idea how awesome the feeling is.

[StoreAway]

Note to myself: Dont watch Rock Band videos by thenewnoelisoncruz. I wanted the full band to play. Not just 1. >;/

[beepyou34]

Oh well. At least it isn't as bad as Soulless 3...

[BlackWinging]

GH3 Operation Ground and Pound = easiest Dragon Force song.

RB3 Operation Ground and Pound = hardest song available.

This makes sense.

[nirvashtypeGir]

5:22, IMPOSSIBRU.

[vicko1778]

odin



[stickdude566]

that solo is so overcharted XD

[niCk2794]

lol remember when people complained about GH3 overcharting songs?

[XylentAssassin2]

Respond to this video...  Whoa! Acid trip XD

[mrjodaighpro14]

it's sad that the other players dont play along

[mongrelshadow14]

LOL they gave TFAF too much hammer ons but not enough on this? plus the forced strumming on solos /: damn.

[TheJebou]

hehe XD 5:33 u felt too much :PP

[TheJebou]

nice! only 2 doing guitar and singer XD and the other 3 doing nothing u soloing

[Daavidforce]

/,,/  /,,/

[heartlessman554]

Lol drums chart is basically the same with TTFAF but I think a bit slower. I find this song much more easier. I got like 86% on Pro expert I think.

[AeroxLight]

@heartlessman554 cool story bro

[heartlessman554]

@AeroxLight orb yrots looc

[elmotouchesme97]

@heartlessman554 wow, it's nothing like TTFAF at the start, all toms

[heartlessman554]

@elmotouchesme97 Well, I didn't say the whole thing is the same. I'm talking about the hi-hat, snare and bass drum parts that go on for ever lol.

[BigBenClockTower]

@heartlessman554 This is a hallmark of power metal, Dragonforce is not alone.

[BirriaBoy64]

i think harmonix hired the ex-GH employees to chart this and TTFAF cuz this looks even more WTF than the GH charts...

[TheJaredPwns]

All of dragonforce's songs sound the same i like them and all but they all sound the same

[TheJaredPwns]

play one of the pro instruments you idiot

[PuppetMasterIX]

@TheJaredPwns This song has no Pro Guitar/Bass, idiot.

[MHZNOMISS]

1:07 that is the double pedal of the fabolous RB3??? thats disapointing -.-''

[V77710]

back ground at 4:10 looks like being high on weed probably does

[kangaroo62]

@V77710 lol, not at all kid.

[supersonicfan990]

at 2:02 it sounds like they are saying ''as the sky begins to fart''

[GuitarGangsta69]

its said how the only one playing is terrible and probably can't play these songs on the original GH3

[ashmbennett93]

I thought the solo from free bird was hard o_0

[ZeXiTe]

@ashmbennett93 this whole song is pretty much solos lol.

[Fullmetal1ruben]

Why does it say No Part on Pro Guitar when there IS one?

[putnamehere3146]

@Fullmetal1ruben There is no pro part on OGaP, they only included one in TTFaF.

[GuitarHeroLover1000]

dude i got a 83% on this GRRRR!!!!!! damn solo

[jspade1019]

That keyboardist was pretty beast.

[Owner2105]

I'm so happy today.

I got through 70% of the song without failing.

That's up to 5:33 in the video.

Unfortunately I then have to beat solo 3.

Not looking forward to the practice.

[ameteurprogamer]

The guy who charted the guitar part was really dumb. I'm sorry, but on a guitar hero controller, that solo is probably too fast to hit in any manner. Especially with RB's timing window. Why would you chart something completely impossible?

[LaughingThesaurus]

@ameteurprogamer

I think there's a technical FC already of it, and there is at least one person who has hit the fastest parts of the song on video. So, I mean, it's definitely possible

What you rather they have done though? Not charted it at all? Chart only half the notes? Then we'd have the same people complaining about the lack of double bass complaining about OGaP's BS guitar chart.

[DavidWillsonMusic]

5:22 to 6:12 pray to god you hit a note. If not go throw your guitar and cry

[slothboy494]

5:22-6:12 TAPPING IS FUTILE

[acoolkid59]

Good luck Danny Johnson.

[Owner2105]

@acoolkid59 I would love to see that, but unfortunately I don't think he does rock band.

So we must rely on the next best thing.

I have sent the challenge to jameslikecoulter.

Maybe he can fc this monster.

[mortician001]

@Owner2105 no he isn't good enough maybe ukogmonkey could

[Owner2105]

@mortician001 Maybe I don't know, ukogmonkey has the experience, but I'm thinking we just haven't seen jameslikecoulter tackle much rock band in a while, he's mostly done drum fcs.

Either of them will work, but I still wish danny could do rock band songs.

damn copyright.

[mortician001]

@Owner2105 i'd love to see danny playing this song

[supersonicfan990]

Only the guitar was playing lol!

[SurvivorsOfTitanic]

I wish they also had Dragonforce's Valley of the Damned for download. That's their best song IMO, although not quite as technical. Still very kick-ass.

[RLmike1234]

You missed a note

[TheWickedEnd0851]

my face after the solo: 0_0

[maxthefax]

AHHH!! NERDGASEM!!!!!! :D



[logstrain]

this song is a piece of shit

[RLmike1234]

@logstrain You're a piece of shit

[logstrain]

@RLmike1234 no

[RLmike1234]

@logstrain Yeece

[Jak2star]

UKOGmonkey passed this on guitar, does that qualify him as god

[CrimzonAE]

@Jak2star

A little more than that.

[cryszofthescots]

Am I the only one who thinks Dragonforce's (or as some call them Studioforce) singer is underrated?

[SurvivorsOfTitanic]

@cryszofthescots

No. I think so too. Too bad he got fired just recently.

[gunmaster4]

Lol "Messy Solo: 0 Points"

Me: OH YEAH YOU THINK YOU CAN DO BETTER BITCH!?!

[andymadownzdeadly]

Face + Guitar = Solo Pass

[MyCoolboy17]

how is you make the full band preview videos

[Mthew13]

@MyCoolboy17 If I'm right, All Instruments Mode + No Fail.

[GTCrunch]

Guitar hero goes out of business...few months later Rockband still being awesome!!!

[naeroikathgor]

@GTCrunch rock band will always be awesome, it'd be even better if they released "Devil Went Down to Georgia" from GH3 with pro guitar charting! :DD

[Dragodemon000]

Are any of the Guitar Hero junkies still saying that Rock Band has no challenging songs?

[Nubnut]

@Dragodemon000 They stopped that argument a LONG time ago. Shortly after the Roadrunner pack came out with Sleepwalker and Constant Motion

[Icarus19911991]

@Dragodemon000 They've had challenging songs like this for a few years. Have you ever played Thrasher?

[alxw1711]

@Dragodemon000 where have you been? they HAVE been putting in hard songs wayyyy before this pack.

[lynchyboyproductionz]

guitar intro is easier than GH, but i feel its less realistic also

[flazartic]

5:22 - 6:12

the guy who charted blackened, surfing with the alien, and constant motion had a bottle of vodka a bag of skittles and some really bad thoughts.

[putnamehere3146]

@flazartic Vodka? Why would that have to do with it? There was no vodka, just pure crack.

[GuitarHeroCustomize]

For those who know the chart, imagine if RB put Cry for Eternity by Dragon Force on there. No one ever pass it xD

[FurbyParade226]

It seems ever since Phenom's fame, music games have to step it up a notch. I'm just waiting for Rusty Cooley.

[thenaturalX]

i hundred percented that solo... then i woke up

[XxmarlonmaidenxX]

now try expert pro guitar xD

[CptBL4ckC0k3578]

All of dragonforces drum charts are exactly the same....>_>. BORING AS FUCK!!!

[nintendork64]

5:22-6:12 WHAT DA FUCK?

That is the craziest shit I've ever seen in rock band. I can't imagine it ever being FC'd. Even on a guitar hero engine, that would be batshit insane.

[TheKidWithTheLisp]

Of all the freaking ridiculous trills in this song, they gave those 6 notes a trill box? Seriously?

[niteofoblivion]

Dear music game gods.

I know that several years ago I requested some dragonforce be put into rock band, knowing full well that the engine would make it nigh on un-fcable. Now that I have seen the chart, I'm full of regret. I know that this is all my fault in some sort of cosmic way. I will now go and kill myself in order to spare any future recommendations. Goodbye YouTube, been nice knowin ya.

[ilikepork247]

@niteofoblivion made my night 

[XShad0wF1ashX]

the song isnt tough itself, it's just really fast and doesnt give much time to rest.

[Steckatos]

@XShad0wF1ashX lol.. tough in any way possibly is tough.

[sirwinsalot]

i dont know whats worse my ears bleed from having a sound orgasm or my fingers bleed from trying to play the fucking song :L

[MrCooldude1243]

when i first got the song, i was like, yea im amzing i can play on expert guitar, no problem there

*starts song* com'on! Damnit SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTT­TTT

*finishes and hands fall off*

YAY 2%!!!!!!!!!! I WIN

[Fareoeye2]

ukog Monkey did it 100% Through The Fire IN FLAMES

[Fareoeye2]

Love TTFAF and This fuck playing it damn idk if i can even do it

OVERDRIVE! OVERDRIVE! OVERDRIVE!

[Nauseant]

Yeah, i think imma just put in GH3 if i wanna play this lol

[sykilik101]

...not enough kick notes. -_-

[TheBman860]

i wonder if gh fan boys still underestimate rockbands difficulty

[toymasheenSH]

@TheBman860 I wonder if RB fanboys still think GH overcharts everything and RB charts are superior always

[TheBman860]

@toymasheenSH of course ^.^

[McCloudster0015]

@toymasheenSH I kno forreal I noticed how bad it was on UKOG's vid of OGAP like everyone kisses their ass about charting like its that big of a deal.

[The0wnr]

are you shitting me? thats stupid.....props to whoever can FC that first

[Answerofduty1]

Is this on the RBN, or is it official DLC?

[materia101]

@Answerofduty1

It is official DLC.

[markuscc]

I just love how they randomly flip a quarter to decide what random double kicks they are going to leave in for this game. Either add a double bass mode or get rid of them. It's completely stupid.

[AspiringRocker729]

@markuscc Nah, this is doable with one foot. Hard, but doable. I five starred this yesterday (After much blood sweat and tears) with one pedal. They've actually been pretty consistent, from what I've seen. Another Way To Die by Disturbed, the drummer actually did do that with one foot in studio. Most other songs, they've only charted two (This/TTFAF, Constant Motion, etc) or at most three (Nightmare by A7X) sixteenth notes consecutively, which is tough, but very possible.

[Polanker]

4:11 - 4:16 What is the brown vocal harmony track supposed to be singing? Sounds like is singing "oooohhhhh" but it doesn't say it on the screen.

[Packers909]

5:32 and 5:46 WTF.

[Destroyah5000]

Yeah, it's accurate to playing, unlike some notes in GH3, but the Rock band engine has a higher demand for accuracy in timing, like GH1. In my opinion, I LIKE when the game gives me a break and lets some notes get hit if you're late, but this, it just isn't fun anymore. You need to be BETTER than guitarherophenom to just get the machine-like timing down.

[markuscc]

@Destroyah5000 The problem is that the timing window is waaaaaaaaaaay smaller for notes that are close together because they don't allow timing windows to overlap. This game would be a million times better if they had the same timing window for all notes.

[Zanny77]

Dat solo = Blindly flail your fingers and pray you hit some notes

[lynchyboyproductionz]

@Zanny77 thats what i do for most solos lol

[iLoveLampXx]

@Zanny77 He's just trying to show the song, give him a break :P

[FullMetalJacketmusic]

@iLoveLampXx he was commenting on the song not his playing

[HeikkiX360]

thanks for the keyboard chart

[Negropolis]

The intro to OGAP was one of the funnest parts of the song, due to it all being hammer ons, i hate fast strumming. Btw u wrote GF songs in ur vid description instead of DF :)

[mechamind90]

5:46 - Appears to be faster than Surfing With The Alien! I guess you need to be good at circular strumming? If that was a pro guitar chart, I don't know how it would work.

[PuppetMasterIX]

@mechamind90 Those trills are 26.67 NPS. MUCH faster than Surfing With the Alien.

[nonzz3ro]

I PLAY GUITAR HERO AND WHAT IS THIS

[KkahluaHero]

@nonzz3ro hahaha non :P

[Ryandrums1]

@nonzz3ro They discontinued the guitar hero franchise. You know that right?

[nonzz3ro]

@Ryandrums1 WHAT WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN

[Ryandrums1]

@nonzz3ro ""Due to continued declines in the music genre, the company will disband Activision Publishing's 'Guitar Hero' business unit and discontinue development on its 'Guitar Hero' game for 2011," the company explained in a statement."

it was announced on February 10, 2011

edition(dot)cnn(dot)com/2011/U­S/02/09/guitar.hero.gone/

[nonzz3ro]

@Ryandrums1 NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[Ryandrums1]

@nonzz3ro Yeah I know :<

[ManfredvonKarma7]

@Ryandrums1 No GH games in 2011, but there are hints that there's a game coming in 2012.

[LordyJake]

Hot damn.

[TheFaceOfZach]

Harmonix wanted revenge for Crawl being FC'd I guess.

[Anayalata]

oh man...

[SuperSteve120]

Click the link for TTFAF and then go back to this. Listening to the preview clips its the SAME SONG

[LOZmaster85RB]

if we get a DF pack with fury of the storm, heroes of our time, and valley of the dammed, my life will be complete

[Tremuto]

Wow. Seriously no double bass?

I am disappoint. Oh and I guess the Guitar is OMGWTFBBQ as well.

[CrimzonAE]

If you don't like the songs - then don't buy them ffs.

Just don't come here to flame DragonForce.

It's getting very old...

[stagm3]

@elison, yeah in GH the hopo intro was much more fun, and that's the version im sticking with

[AshleighRiot]

Hey, cool. A riff @ 4:31

[connorma77]

5:20 through the rest of the song. Really? WORST FUCKING CHARTING EVER!!!!!! And I thought that the charting for songs was bad in GH5.......

[nypad5]

@connorma77 Listen to yourself for christ sakes... you are raging about a 5 button plastic guitar song.

[connorma77]

@nypad5 If they're gonna chart it, then they should chart it right instead of just putting random shit. And how am I raging? I'm just stating that it's the worst fucking charting ever.

[nypad5]

@connorma77 lmao Aloneforever

[ShowtimePanda]

@connorma77 It's pretty clear how you voice your opinion that you are raging.

[TheBronzeSquad]

I need Rock Band 3 now. I want a challenge on drums. Fury of the Storm on GHWoR Expert+ just isn't that challenging anymore..

[legomaster72]

7:25 Seriously?

[wojo1093]

FBFC?

[Chrisb1295]

You're fuckin screwed if you even try to FC this with a Strat Controller.

[NsiderCustomrobo13]

Aw year, rank 54 on the leaderboard on guitar.

Although I have no idea how to hit the intro to the solo at 5:20. What a mess.

Also these songs are extremely tiring on drums. 8 minutes of what a horrible night to have a curse without the blast beats. ;-;

But it's okay dragonforce I still love you

[marioluigi1994]

Everything is so precise that its not even fun.

[Felldohswrath]

WHAT THE FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

[BADRANG4EVER]

LMAO imagine buying this without having ever seen the charts or those of other dragonforce songs. and let´s just say you happen to be good at GH and RB and then you see that this has the highest difficulty rating on guitar and you´re like "meh, I´m good at these games"

and then when you play you´re like "FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-"

[JonnySegment]

@BADRANG4EVER "LMAO imagine buying this without having ever seen the charts"

Yeah, about that... :P

Luckily I play on no-fail mode. I'm not a fan of the band, but I got this and TtFaF because I thought they'd be fun to play. I'm not sure I'll be able to play enough of this for it to be much fun for me, though...

[sirwinsalot]

@BADRANG4EVER funny whenever i play im like ok ok *cough * ok i got thi...WO FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU­UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU­UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU­UUUUU for 8 minutes long :L

[alakazam0master]

@BADRANG4EVER This is what happened to me.

[Juuked]

@BADRANG4EVER dude....I've beaten every song on expert pro on drums and gotten 5 stars...after 5 staring llama I considered myself beast mode.

Then I tried out this song.

lasted 5 seconds when the drums began. Sad face.

[Nubnut]

@Juuked Not to put you down dude, buy there's a LONG jump between Llama and the top songs. As someone who's gold starred every on disc song across all discs (with the exception of Visions), this song has my foot and arm on fire by the end. So don't worry if you can't do it, it takes time.

Not to mention there's all those batshit crazy RBN songs out there that are utterly ridiculous (The 2x bass version of Humanity's Last Hope..., Abraxas of Filth, and Your Treachery will Die With You = o.O )

[guitarheroguy12]

@BADRANG4EVER exactly what i did and i 4 starred it my first try.

[MrReaper666ish]

you would have failed ALOT if not for the "no-fail" being activated !!!!!

[ProArk417]

The Drum charts are almost the same for this and TTFATF the only obvious difference is the intro for OGAP O.o

[AeroxLight]

well, better than ttfaf chart

i love the fucking chorus :D

but nice chart

[Icarus19911991]

The lack of HOPOs disturbs me (though it might be more accurate).

Either way, not getting the DF tracks. I like my hands more than that.

[theGHPwner]

@TheDrummerWearsPrada Except for the fact that it's charted horrendously.

[googoplex100]

LOL this song is very hard

[LaughingThesaurus]

Check out Harmonix's charting documentation on the Rhythm authors pages. You'll see that they don't necessarily force hammer-ons, more of that they're fairly strict about what automatically gets hammer-ons.

Not to imply that these charts are fun, but it's no different than what they usually give us. In high-tempo songs like Dragonforce unless it makes sense for them to manually place them, there are few hammer-ons. It's how they do things.

[RyanDahlReturns]

The reason why there are "forced" strums is because that's how it's played on real guitar and Harmonix obviously know their shit
