Forget the May flowers; Bring on the MUSIC
As we explained here, for the entire month of May the site will be devoted to music, with hundreds of community gaming sessions in the works for you to jump in and jam. The Community Events Team will be matching up gamers into sessions to knock out some of these elusive ‘band’ achievements. If you want in on the action make sure you register here so we can start matching you up.
For those that have already registered, remember that you can manage your registration page at any time. Like Davie stated yesterday in this post please double-check that you have your timezone correct and update or change your availability as much as you need. I know I’ll be updating mine a few times a week.
If you haven’t been placed in a session yet, don’t worry, you will. With over 800 registrants, and more than 15,000 achievements requests so far, we are working to get these sessions rolling out as best we can. The sessions will be appearing on the community events calendar and you will get a PM when we’ve matched you up. If you're in the market for a session at short notice, you should fire up the session calendar, filter it on Open Sessions and feel free to jump into any event where a member or two may have dropped out.
Communication is key though! Get stuck in to the comments section on each session and talk to each other - get the instrumentation sorted before start time so you're good to go on the hour!
On which note, don't forget to the power of the Xbox LIVE Party Chat system. It's worth getting the console fired up ten minutes ahead of time, and getting a party setup so you can all communicate more easily. It's going to make those eight player band achievements so much easier.
To keep up with the newest and latest going info on the event, check out the Music Mayhem section of the site. Here are all your quick links to everything you’ll need to know, including Music Mayhem FAQ and OUR AWESOME MUSIC MAYHEM ACHIEVEMENT COUNTER. We’ve barely started and already the counter and TA score gained is rising fast - over 10,000 TA has been won in under a day!
With all the exposure for the Music genre, May will be a great time to get some of those 2 player co-op, non 'band', music achievements done. Set up a session, add games to your boost request list, and PM other gamers you’ve met in our Community Gamer sessions to get these done, and of course, have TONS of fun along the way! |

Had the first session today, it was a success, but wondering why I got placed in a session for the same exact achievements on Thursday. Was I the only one willing to do vocals on Green Day Rock Band?  |

I had my first session as well, and it went well. Can't wait to get more done  |
How much for the whole kitten kaboodle? |

| Haha, same here guys. Strange enough my first few sessions are as drummer/guitarist. We might have more vocalists than we expected. ;) |

INB4 Music Mayhem is hurting Ratios
This looks like it is really successful. I don't have the patients for 4 player achievements in Music games because when one player screws up then you restart over and over then YOU YOURSELF screws up. UGH that's such a crappy feeling XD
I decided to pass on the whole thing though I could use it. |

Damn, haha oh well I can always try to rally up some players. I'd have to rebuy all guitar heroes though. Good thing I have most if not all GHTunes achievements
Good luck to those playing these games. I kinda lost interest in all instrument type games...if only DJ Hero was still around...a part 3 is needed.
Wake me when xbox gets a new DDR hahah gotta keep those completed I've never been more proud of a TA score. I love this site. |

| I'm an expert player, drums/vocals being my strong points but I can also play guitar/bass. I'm looking to get band achievements on Beatles/Green Day Rock Band, I'm in the UK (GMT) so if anyone needs help or can help me with some of the achievements that would be great. Please PM me, my GT is on the left. |

| I do think the huge page of checkboxes could be done better... I have most of the achievements covered and was going to register to help out but since I'm free a large amount of the time it would mean checking so many boxes that I just couldn't be bothered. Perhaps some sort of click and drag set-up for selecting multiple times and days would be better? Or am I just being really lazy? *laugh* |

Then simply uncheck the times you can't do... |

So those folk who are unsure about jumping into sessions should make the leap, most people are real friendly. |
More G's for me, more G's for you, i'll get some G's you'll get some too!! |
