My entry for the contest. For all you who will say its edited so I can't play for real blah blah. I can, but you believe what you want. Edit: If you're in doubt, go watch this. http://www.gametrailers.com/player/usermovies/246038.html 50% of the score is creativity, and I've sure got that down. This really is one of my runs through the song, and though its not FC, I chose it b/c the fills and ending are quite good. :D I hope you guys like it.

Here It Goes Again 100% Expert Guitar Gold Stars Not the best I've ever done, both in playing and making a video, but for just finding out about the contest yesterday, I think I did pretty good. Thanks Stride for giving me the opportunity to showcase my skillz.

Here is my long awaited entry into the Virtual Rock Band contest. http://www.gametrailers.com/usermoviecontest_rockband.php Here is a brief timelime of the making of this video. 7/11: Discover this contest and get pissed off that it actually started on 6/22 7/12: Shot an outdoor singing version, but had to cancel shooting after it was discovered that I did not have the words memorized and I could not see the tv. 7/13: With a crew of five people, spent three hours shooting seven takes with different moves/difficulties. Finally settled on take 7, the one with the best dancing but worst score. Then at night spent three hours capturing tapes to PC. 7/14 - 7/17: Every non-working/non-sleeping hour was spent editing. 7/18: Final editing and releasing demos to my crew to double check, started getting excited. 7/19: Posting right now! 7/28: Annouced as finalist! (It happened!) 8/22: Annouced as Winner! (It happened!) Random Trivia: -The dog's name is ginger. -Blue Forge Fire is the name of a guild I used to run. -I am the only live person who appears in the video :) -Shot with four cameras, even though only three were used in the final cut -Go with the Flow is the only song I can GS without humming, but can't seem to do it while acting like an insane person. -I am a platinum artist :) (The only one in the competetion) -Did you notice the shirt in the gameplay? I hope you enjoy my video! Thanks to everyone who voted for me!

So I thought to myself...what if I applied my methods of playing bass guitar to rock band? Well, the results were great (though a bit noisy on the controller)! Presenting Slap Bass for Rock Band! Enjoy the video! -Drausius
