Release date - August 24, 2010
-----------------------------------------------------

One of the best DLC songs ever available for purchase. It's a classic GH2 song (insert Smash Hits DLC comment here) updated with master recordings and full band charts, it's hard as hell (probably the hardest GH5 era DLC), and the song slaps. What more could you want?

All the above reasons are why this is one of the oldest DLC videos I have. The recording date on this bad boy is January 6, 2021 (yes, THAT January 6th). I bought this song legitimately when it was new, so I've had this song for over a decade, but I only ever got around to actually FCing it when I started recording DLC videos for YouTube, which was shortly after getting my RGH console and getting all the DLC license-shared to me on my main console. With a whole new catalog of DLC at my finger tips, I just scrolled through the list and played the songs I liked first. I recorded a small handful of songs, maybe 15, before formally starting the process of recording all the DLC songs, played in order of release date.

Most of those first DLC recordings had to be redone because I found better paths thanks to CHOpt, but this was not one of them. I ran this chart through CHOpt and it gave me a nearly identical path to what I used here. There's a couple tough activations, a couple that I could get another note squeezed in potentially, but overall I'm happy with this old run. Happy enough to not feel the need to redo it, at least, and upload the nearly 2 year old video. I think there's only 2 other videos I have yet to upload that are from this old original session, all the other ones had to be redone because I didn't feel satisfied enough with the score.

I'm kinda glad I have some old recordings still so I can see my progress through Quickplay plus. At the end of my Black Widow FC I do a setlist scroll and I'm at Rock Rank 103. If you pay attention at the very beginning of this video you can see my rock rank is 107. All that progress came from playing other DLC songs before this one, and after FCing every other DLC in this game (spoiler), my rock rank is somewhere in the 230's. That's a lot of stars.
