I guess saying my laptop died isn't a good way to invite comments, lol

I am down to 2 songs left to 5 star on medium. I just can't seem to nail Knights of Cydona or Raining Blood. I have gotten different parts right different times, I just can't seem to put it all together at once. Frustrating, though I did turn the stereo system way up to get some fun out of it.

I gave up when my youngest had to go to bed, and of course the wife made me turn it down. So I decided what the hell, I'll give hard a shot. I had beaten two of them so far, I decided I could try for a bit. I failed Talk Dirty to Me 3 times in a row, but made it my 4th try. I then surprised myself by beating Story of My Life my first try, followed by every following song up until the battle with Tom Morello.

I got waxed late in the song, so I used an old strategy the next time. I saved up a couple of wammy bars and took him down on a long riff. At that point I was pretty pumped and decided to keep playing despite my fingers getting tired. To my utter shock I didn't fail another song until Same Old Song and Dance in the 5th set. I finished the rest of the set, but still wasn't able to get much past 50% on my next 3 attempts.

I decided to give Hard a rest for the night, but I was curious about Expert. I started with Slow Ride and beat it my second try, then I beat Hit Me With Your Best Shot on my fourth try (I could feel I could get it, so I didn't give up).

I decided that was more that enough for the night when I got destroyed on Talk Dirty to Me so I decided to cool down with a random song on Easy (end up being Holiday In Cambodia going for a Gold 5 star of course). I was actually laughing out loud at how slow motion it was, so of course I totally biffed the song opening while trying not to go too fast.

I can tell 5 starring songs on Hard is going to be really difficult, but at least I can play some of them!
