I like most of the songs. I could play Surrender all day long. But I will say that I truly loathe Freya. It is such an awful song that is no fun to play.

Sabbath, Chains, Cooper, the Stones, GNR, RATM, Maiden, Rush, Lamb of God, Megadeth, what's the problem here?

Exactly, plus Heart, the Rolling Stones and Primus. The list kicks ass, IMHO.

i bet you haven't even listened to a single death metal tune before

Not all the way through, I don't like the HORRIBLE vocals and the heavy and fast guitar/drums. Believe it or not, not everyone has the same tastes in music.

I thought at first the second edition wasn't all that great compared to the first one as well, but, after playing with it for a long time it grows on you and find both are equally just as good as the other.

I played it on Medium today. It kicked my a$$. I might try it on extreme just to see what it's like.

michaels is waiting for the Back Street Boy version to come out. He was totally into them before they got all mainstream.

no ******. i wasn't saying your taste sucks or anything.

death metal is all about the technicality really. bands like Death, Morbid Angel, Cryptopsy, Nile, and Necrophagist all draw a clear line of what technical music is all about. not everyone likes it (it's an acquired taste) but you just can't deny the talent.

Did you just not bother playing FREEBIRD? When it asked you if you were brave enough, did you select no?
