    The intro is easily the hardest part of the song... the solos are ridiculous too but at that point I would be all the way in the green and probably have star power so it would be easy to pass, not keep a multiplier though

    Beat it on expert, my max is 406k atm (4 stars) but I'm sure I can do better, it took me around 5 months of practicing the intro once in a while to do it but now I can do it consistantly 1hand or with tapping.

    I have beaten it on expert. Took about a week of straight practice learning to tap the intro.

    I'm stuck on 4 stars (537k) if only I could strum worth anything I could get 5 stars. (Always break combo several times in post insanity, grinding scales, and rampaging dragons)

    Just beat it on expert a couple days ago. I probably spent a couple months practicing the intro, but I'd spend about 20 minutes on it once every couple weeks or so. I didn't get a 4* but I'll at least be able to get that. There's no way I'll ever 5* the song, unless I somehow get much much better.

    On Expert, I have gotten 98% through it.  (I know, I lost on "You Rock!"...I forgot to practice tapping the end.  >_<)  Since then, I've been going down at 83%-ish.  I should take some time to get a little more consistent, but when I got the game in March, I never would have even imagined being able to do the intro.  I'm rather proud of myself.  :P

    Edit!  Beat it last night.  ^_^

    I've almost full comboed it on medium, but I've had very little success learning to tap the intro on expert so have yet to get anywhere there. I don't remember ever even trying it on hard, but I don't think I'd have any trouble passing (now keeping combo is another story).

    Two Months? I was originally practicing it but I'm not sure I want to commit to it and end up hating the song because of it.

    beat it on hard, expert just takes the piss. The problem with Guitar Hero 3 is that they add in two guitar parts at one time, which is why its typically so damn hard, also you can't do what the guitarist that play the songs do (I forget the name of the actual technique but essentially the solos are arpeggios played really really fucking quickly using a slightly different strumming technique) and to master that would make me forget how to play the actual guitar properly.

    On Medium, yes. On expert? No way. I have a friend who's friend has beaten it on expert. I don't believe it, but he says he was there when it happened. Don't ask me for a link, because he didn't record it. I'm skeptical of it too.

    I tried it some obscene amount of times, before I finally beat it on Expert.

    There's one patch in the solo where you need to activate star power at exactly the right moment so it carries you through the crazy part but doesn't overwrite the next phrase. It's really tricky, and I haven't replicated it since.

    I really hope they use the Rock Band earn-while-you-burn thing in World Tour, so I never have to worry about that again.

    It doesn't hurt that the studio version of the song is a quickened sample of a slower playthrough, either.  The band can't manage this song very well live (much less anything else that they do).

    i finally got consistent on this song so now I can pass it without star power almost every time. Can't strum atall though so still stuck on 430k... and I don't like that song atall so I'm not going to practice it. It's kindof fun though, mostly because it's really tough. Once in a while I go back to GH3 to play devil went down to georgia and this just so my hand starts to move as fast as it can (don't know why it helps.... but it does. I always use it to get up to speed after not playing for a while).

    I beat it on medium.  I am special. 

    I don't know how it is possible on expert.  If you have done it, you should be proud and scared at all the time you wasted too.
