Very cool postman. Keep it up!

I've decided to take on Chris Kline's (Vertexguy) version of Dezant from Lords of Thunder.

Give it a listen from here:
http://www.vertexguy.com/music/subcat.htm

It's going to be a monster project, but very worthwhile in the end. There is a lot of cutting and pasting, which makes life a bit easier.......

It will be at least a week before I finish, but I'll post a preview when ready!

Ok, got done early with Dezant - this is my favorite custom yet!

That one looked pretty good too. Did you just use vertexguy's audio (as he plays all of the lead guitar stuff) and the overlay that on top of the OST's mp3? Too bad vertexguy didn't mix it with his version of the backing part of the song, it would sound more balanced

No, I just grabbed the mp3 right off his site.........no mixing on my part at all...........

Those solos look hella fun. I love the 3 fret chords you threw in there. Do you plan on distributing this or keeping it to yourself?

postman · Post by **postman** » Thu Sep 20, 2007 3:12 am

I'll share, just ask! That is assuming you know how to make a custom GH disc, and have a modded ps2..........

You should share the notecharts with the rest of the Scorehero community

No Thunderforce anymore.

I will share with those who ask, but I don't want to do it through Scorehero at the moment. Too many rules........

Eight: After reviewing the TF4 track, it has too much synth in it. If I put a song in GH, it has to have strong standout guitar, or else in my opinion it just doesn't sound right. Level 8's music would rock, but I'd need to have a strict guitar cover of it in order to sound good. Then I considered Justice Ray pt. 2, but I don't think it will work for the same reason. Hard rockin, but just too much tech processing.

This is killer Postman! Thanks for adding some of those I sent you

Raging Deicide from Esprade has a strong standout guitar, if it's not too repetitive.

May I suggest a kick ass guitar driven song. Theme from Jets N Guns. You can download it off of machinae supremacy's site. Its got several solo parts that would be shreding to play. Most of the songs from the Jets N Guns album are great but not all of them have guitar as the prominent instrument.

I second this. The song is beyond awesome.

Roger that, I know all about that.

With that, I wouldn't mind at all if you shared your files with me, your charts look really good.

Oh, I thought this was something like that one dude from Twinkle Star Sprites: La Petite Princesse...heh. Does anybody remember that one?

Master O · Post by **Master O** » Thu Oct 04, 2007 8:30 pm

How about using Stage 1 and 2 music from Thunder Cross (Japanese version) and Stages 1, 3, and 7's music from Thunder Cross II for your Guitar Hero shmup?

Responses:

Raging Decide: Sounds too techno.......you sure this is the track you're thinking of?

Jets N Guns: Great suggestion! This one's a good length and would translate well into a GH song, it's probably going to make the cut.

Thundercross:
The only mp3s I found for this are from the Konami Shooting Battle collections. The one I liked was Battles of Battleship, which I might end up doing.

I also decided on Nostalgic (Trigon) from the Konami SB also, it's slower but sounds awesome.

Man, this is a lot of work.........but I keep chipping away a little bit each day..........thanks for the suggestions people!

The first solo on Theme of Jets N Guns is rockin. All those hammer on and pull offs will be so much fun! Thanks for considering it to make the cut!

Just finished the JetsNGuns track, man I think it's awesome! Thanks for suggesting that one again, it really translated well for Guitar Hero. Videos will be up once the whole project is finished.

if this ever gets off the ground send me the the torrent!

btw, i dont know if the GGX tracks you're looking for are on the limited bonus disc that came with the dreamcast game, but if it is, i have it and would be more than happy to contribute.

sideshow · Post by **sideshow** » Thu Oct 18, 2007 4:14 am

A torrent would be excellent. That JetsNGuns song must be incredibly fun to play.
