So if you’re apathetic toward MCR or worse, skip this.
If you’re an achievement junky but can’t get past playing GH on Hard, you should probably download this song because I think anyone that could play normally on Hard will have no problem with this (and its many many notes) on expert. I unlocked the 300,000k achievement without breaking a sweat, even horribly screwing up the solo. It has one solo section that will drive you to star power on your first couple attempts, but the rest of it is literally nothing but strumming the same couple chords over and over again. And you can’t say “shit” in GH lyrics, I guess.įamous Last Words is almost an entire song as boring as the first half of Freebird. Teenagers is a little more varied, but also pretty short and not as difficult. This Is How I Disappear is the only track that feels like a real GH track, and even so, it feels a lot like the other MCR track already on the 360 version, Dead! It has lots and lots of strumming simple chords repeated to the beat of the song with the occasional tricky switch between them, though This Is How I Disappear does sprinkle in a bit more excitement and variety.
