Hear About it Later - Van Halen

1st place. This is a great song, but holy fuck is it aggravating to get a good score on. Pretty Woman is a walk in the park compared to this IMO. This song actually has a few challenging parts, especially parts like 0:37 where there's an extended sustain directly followed by a quick double slider with the same two frets of the extended sustain. You have to be very careful with those parts or those sliders will break your combo.

Besides that, obviously this song is extended sustain hell. The hardest part is remembering each extended sustain and when to drop the lower sustain. I actually think lowering your hyperspeed would be really helpful for this song so you can see further ahead in the chart. I did pretty good on extended sustains this run, but I still let one go too early at 2:11.

On top of everything I already mentioned, there are some tough squeezes. There's a shit ton of whammy in this song, mostly on extended sustains, so it's incredibly tough to gauge how much SP you'll have for a squeeze. The 2nd and 3rd activations are especially tricky because if you don't get enough early whammy to activate on the B O B Y part, you'll miss out on 800 points EACH. I missed the back end of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd activations on this run, but it's still 1st place. That should say a lot. The rest of the activations aren't too difficult, and some are totally free. This score is easily beatable for anyone dumb enough to put themselves through this torture.

My Scores:

[KilljoyRPMX]

One of the most underrated songs in the game, love the solo on this one. Also that's a lot of activations holy shit

[maxessy]

That is incredible to get 1st place on. You truly are an amazing GH player.

[thatsmobin]

I only know 3 songs from Van Halen
Eruption, hot for teacher, and ain’t talking bout love

Should I start listening to more Van Halen anyone

[TheTanman]

Wow another 9 star in this game. This path looks like pure hell though and all the extended sustains YUCK.

[ExLTheRaPiD]

too bad you're hearing about it right now

[KyleHUNK]

One of the top three hardest songs to get a good score on in the game, #2 is Mean Street and #1 is So This is Love?

[AeroSmash]

Fun fact: In the original version of the song you can hear a WHOAH scream by DLR in the outro but this version is missing it

[MrWii]

Tragic news: Eddie Van Halen has just died today!

[josephhutchison]

Nice figuring this path out with all the star power in this song. I was first place for like 2 weeks when the game was still new. (JoeyxExpertHero)

[DiegoSandovalLopez]

My second Song favorite of Fair Warning :)
And I like that Frankestin Guitar that Eddie has in Black and some White stripes

I want a run for my money, that's all
I don't want to hear about it later
I don't want to, baby I don't want to
I don't want to hear about it later
I don't want to, baby I don't want to

Also, why the Jimi Hendrix songs, and the Mr. Crowley videos from WT viewable without modified audio once again?

[swinelias]

Wow, this chart seems to be a very broken and somewhat awkward chart, although the same could be said for almost every other song in this game so lol. At least this is the game that handles extended sustains the best.

[Chriswurzel]

Is more difficult in the game than on a real guitar!!!
Wow!

[revy]

why you stop holding the long notes when other long note comes instantly ?

[darkbox]

The activation at 3:34, (I'm probably wrong) you could've delayed the activation and get the last *YO* easier, but you didn't... I can understand if you didn't want to risk the progress just for that (if that's the case) or that was one of those "free SP activations.

[vincenticyfiregeetar]

Just like ain't talkin bout love, most of the notes land on the frets

[donutdunker]

They most certainly had a star power fetish with this game. I'm sorry, but a 4 and a half minute song should not have 18 star power phrases. 😅
Some of them are literally RIGHT after a previous one.
