(GHWT) e's Journal Part 1 (0-43% Complete)

So today being Christmas, I started out on a solo journey through Guitar Hero World Tour. In my trials and travels, I've kept a bit of a journal. Here's the first part of that journal.

Phi Psi Kappa (USA)
We played a dorm common area and literally set the place on fire after a beer pong cup spilled on an amp cable and sparks flew and hit the curtains.

Livin' On a Prayer
About a Girl (Unplugged)
Mountain Song

Wilted Orchid (Sweden)
We played a goth club but a bunch of non-goth songs. The kids loved it.

Beautiful Disaster
Obstacle 1
The One I Love

Bone Church (Poland)
All I can say is "Wow!" Billy Corgan surprised the band and joined us on stage for a cover of his band's "Today" and then told NME that he thinks we are "Out of this world."

What I've Done

Pang Tang Bay (Hong Kong)
For this show we played on a floating stage, they even set off fireworks before No Sleep till Brooklyn. We're headed home next.

You're Gonna Say Yeah!
Up Around the Bend
No Sleep Till Brooklyn

Amoeba Records (Los Angeles)
It was our record release show at Amoeba Records and we had a special guest in Hayley Williams join us on a cover of Paramore's Misery Business. That wasn't what got the crowd's biggest reaction. That went to our lead singer throwing a copy of our album out to one lucky fan. The rest of them had to wait until midnight and the official release of the record.

Misery Business (w/Hayley Williams)
Hotel California

Tool (USA)
On a whim, I paid $8,000 to play Tool. It was basically Tool torturing me with their visuals and no camera on the band or the crowd. Scary eyes and imagery and strobe lights where it would be hard for me to see the part I'm playing. I somehow survived.

Schism
Vicarious

I managed five stars on each of the tracks mentioned except for Schism. Tool's stage really wore me down!

Swamp Shack (Louisiana)
We played a couple of songs I don't ever want to play again at this gig and I held my own against Zakk Wylde of Black Label Society in a guitar duel.

Eye of the Tiger
Spiderwebs
One Way or Another
Do It Again

Stillborn (w/Zakk Wylde)

Rock Brigade (The Pacific)
In a benefit for our troops, they flew the band out to an aircraft carrier in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Travis Barker of Blink 182 joined us in a cover of Dammit and it was a great thrill to play for such a good cause.

Hey Man, Nice Shot
Feel the Pain

Everlong

I unlocked the Band on a Mission achievement.

Strutter's Farm (Kentucky)
This was the Kentucky State Fair and a big deal for the fine folks at Strutter's Farm. They got to see my band play with a legend. I got owned 96% into a huge guitar duel with Ted Nugent. After completing the track on the second go round, Nugent joined the band in a cover of his classic track Stranglehold. Sadly a disaster struck shortly before the encore, and the ferris wheel came loose and destroyed the big top tent. No circus tomorrow I guess.

With my earnings, I've now got an awesome band outfit. It is a ninja gi. It rocks!

Tomorrow I'll tell you more tales of becoming a Guitar Hero on a World Tour.
