Karaoke Revolution 2, "I Believe in a Thing Called Love" by The Darkness.
Sung by my friend Amber, on Expert.
Platinum Record score (23954), full combo. Game vocals are off, so the only voice you hear is hers.

As I wrote at the end of the video, this was her first try, and the game doesn't like vibrato, so she could have scored much higher. I really just sprung this on her; she was here for the holidays, so I asked if I could quickly record her since I knew she could beat the song on expert. She wasn't trying for a high score or anything, so she was a little late on some of the phrases, which also lowered her score.

Probably everyone who's ever played Donkey Konga has had the idea to play more than one bongo at once. I bet a lot of people have tried it. I figured I could do it, and it would make a good video. I realize this is nothing compared to a Pop'n Music video, but keep in mind that DK wasn't designed for this. In this video I play the Pokemon Theme in Quartet Mode (4-player) by myself, and get four full combos.

Video 1: Guitar Hero II demo – Strutter (expert) with fingering!

This is a video of me playing the KISS song Strutter (expert) on the Guitar Hero II demo. I did this so people (who haven't bought the demo) could see what expert looks like. It has a lot of three-button-chords, which are new to GH2. At the same time, I decided to show the live-action part of it (frets/strum on the plastic guitar), and put it at the top of the video. I flipped the video so it's a mirror image, that way the colors match up, making it easier to follow along.
