With Rock Band coming out shortly, we know some of you are still excited for the game, despite its shortcomings. But, that isn't the topic of discussion here, the topic of discussion is OHMYGOD 5 STARS WITH NO TV ON?! Ahem, sorry -- can you believe that he just got 5 stars on Molly Hatchet's "Flirtin' With Disaster" with the TV off? That's pretty darn good, if you ask us.
Now if this dude got together with the Guitar Hero virtuosos, he could be in the greatest fake band in the universe.

Each week, our Friday Video segment takes a look at the gaming landscape online and brings forth an interesting video that (hopefully) gets the dialog started. Our previous week's coverage featured a video of Samus as a playable character in the Activision game, Marvel: Ultimate Alliance.

Yeah, I can also do that, but first I gotta practice till I get perfect a song, then, gotta tape the gameplay once, turn off my console, put the video tape, get my camara, and then, there we go, play the tape, off course, with my tv off, put my audio out to some equalizers and speakers, not the tv's cuz, with the tv off, there won't be any music, and then, pretend i'm going through the song with. Once I ended, turn on the tv and there we go, I also did that song with 5 star and with the tv off!!!!!! I rock!!!!!!!!!!
That was so lame, if he want me to believe him, he may do the same thing, but instead of turning on the tv, just put him playing the song behind the tv so he won't see the screen ad put the camara to record the whole action, just make there are no mirror to where the tv is pointing

How about making that one sentence into something the rest of us can understand?

1.- Pratice the song till I get 5 stars on it without breaking a sweat
2.- Tape my going through the song
3.- Turning off game, console and tv
4.- Play the video tape. Make sure that the audio output are set to a equalizer with speakers. With the tv off, the music wouldn't be heard
5.- Simulate i'm going through the song
6.- Turn on the tv on the score screen
Is this understable enough, or want me to use apples and oranges???

If he turned off the sound it would have been more impressive.

How would he know when to start? Haha.
But really, that's what I thought at first. "He's doing it with no sound as well?! Thats ridiculous!"

sorry to burst your bubble, but it wasn't a tape: 150 people saw it live, during stream.
search "azuritereaction" on youtube or on ustream.tv if you want more proof and videos of me beating songs with the TV off, it's really not all that impossible to believe, you know.

Sorry, saw many of the videos you propossed, none did a thing to me, I'm still skeptical on this.
But don't fret, just because 1 guy doesn't believe you, its not hte end of the world, i'm pretty sure you had fooled at least a million of persons around the internet, just see the hits on yer videos
Peace

Well as the guy says "i didn't memorize this 100% on drums: i just memorized the two or three patterns in the song that repeat over and over and over." So :D

look at how he's turned, there's a second tv, and at the end they just switch connection to the first tv, pretty simple camera magic.

this is hilarious that you guys ACTUALLY think i looked at a second TV.
As i've said before, I did this *live* on stream: meaning, the camera was moved around right before I started this, and there's only a single TV in this room.
Wonder how many other people can't believe this, but then again they thought I was cheating on run to the hills which was pretty hilarious too. Why would I even *need* to cheat? Think about it.
Maybe sometime i'll make a video where the camera moves all around the room constantly while i've got the TV off or something, to show i'm not looking at anything else.
