    Just notice this is long. Kudos to those who read the whole thing.

    Once, about 2 years ago, I was introduced to Rhythm games through Guitar Hero II.

    This opened up a -hole- new world for me.

    I borrowed/stole Vygral guitar for a long time and me and Palmerfunky worked on getting better and better and eventually got our ways to expert. Playing nearly every weekend as co-op partners we eventually became... awesome, if you will. We worked on 5 stars and had like 2-3 songs left to 5 star when GH3 was released. We destroyed that coop career in an easy... day. The only song left to 5 star on main setlist at the moment is Raining Blood, we're getting awfully close. We can be Through the Fire and Flames, when I'm on lead, because I can do the intro, but Palmerfunky can not.

    Then Rock Band Released. I knew then I had to get a 360 so I could play it. I played Final Fantasy 11 for 3 years and found my character was worth around 500 dollars. I sold it for 550, bought an Xbox 360 and Rock band the day I got my money.
    To this day, I have been continually playing it. I have all main setlist songs 5 starred and about 50% of them gold starred on Guitar.

    But Drums is my new cookie. I enjoy drums. (I probably should mention when GH2 was around, I was the bassist. When GH3 came out, I rebelled and we switch off now.) But now, I got the drums. I am not an average drummer anymore, I started out pretty suck, but I have worked harder and harder and have about 6 songs left to beat on Expert. With a little work they'd all be finished, but I'm working on just getting better at drums mainly before beating it.

    I've created a band (which is also our team name for almost everything we play/participate in) called Bad Gravity. (You'll see us at the Halo department, as well as 2 of us in the GH3 department at the Sci-Center)
    This includes: (all names are on GoG)
    Bad Ass Bassist - Jquick
    No-Show Vocals - Vygral (Have a back up vocalist due to Vygral always busy with Real life.)
    Perfectionist Guitarist - Palmerfunky
    Destroying Drummer - Me

    Look us up on Scorehero (once we get registered) or check us out on

    Hope you enjoy the read. I know its long but I like to talk.
    Have a good one
