Tap Tap Thursday Presents: Five Finger Death Punch by Ed
November 12th, 2009
The Band: FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH
The Song: WALK AWAY from the album “War Is The Answer”
Friends, let me ask you some questions: Have you worn out the Metallica, Godsmack, and Korn in TTR3? Have Thursdays been a bit “soft” for you lately? Would you rather live in a city made of shadows than one made of owls? Well step right up, because I’ve got the cure for what ails you, a big bottle of liquid metal to rock your foundation.
Ladies and Gentlemen, this week’s track is the foolproof solution to your light-rock doldrums; a vital, volatile voice of voracious, visceral, and simply volcanic Rock And Roll! Look no further, for coming straight at you is FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH, and it’s going to get you right again. Winners of Metal Hammer Magazine’s Best New Band of 2009, 5FDP are a force to be reckoned with, and are proving that by climbing the charts and churning mosh pits around the world. Formed in 2005, this L.A.-based band features members of U.P.O., W.A.S.P., Motograter, and Anubis Rising. BE CAREFUL: this is not the song with which to introduce your grandmother to Tap Tap Revenge.
When you have been thoroughly rocked and need a break, head over to fivefingerdeathpunch.com and see what these guys are up to. I think the album cover of “War Is The Answer” might make a sweet wallpaper.
THE FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH CONTEST.
We all know Tap Tap Master DXChain has his own signature “DX Grip.” In honor of this week’s band, we had him work on developing a special “Five Finger Death Tap.” Unfortunately, the test track we gave him was 1.5X speed, and…it didn’t work out. We’re happy to say DX is healing perfectly, and the Tapulous Lab needed a fresh coat of paint anyway. Get your best grip in order, and bring it to this week’s contest:
“The Five Finger Death Room!” We’ve created a special online room for this week’s featured track. Get in there, meet some people, do a little chat, and then play a game. Every game completed is a point. Rack up as many points as you can. Every day we’ll award one prize to the top earner. At the end of the contest, we’ll draw the grand prize from the top 25 point earners. The contest runs all day Friday through Tuesday, Pacific Time. Simple, huh?
The 5 daily winners will receive an an autographed copy of “War Is The Answer.” One Grand Prize Winner will receive a special SKATEBOARD DECK SIGNED BY FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH! Nothing is more exciting than playing TTR and trying to skate down a bumpy sidewalk. Remember: always wear your helmet, and always put your iPhone in a titanium shell.

I LOVE FFDP I’m super excited about this contest! There new cd is amazing, I pre ordered it on iTunes for an extra song. Yet I would ratherhave a hard copy! Almost went out and bought the special cd but I ran out of money! Well I’m off to try and win this : )
November 12th, 2009
This has nothing to do with FFDP.
I’ve seen a Johnny Cash song and I wanted to know how they got it. Please tell
November 12th, 2009
Track: pretty decent.
Theme: I like it, the curves actually help me gauge tap timing better. Easy track is hard track. Hard track is too…wait, what? I could have sworn I just did.this before! Oh well, another easy FC then.
@mostDGK: though Im fairly certain the Johnny Cash song is not an official release, where there is a will, there is a way. Plus it’s friggin themed, too! (Shadow review: Great track, great theme, great tapping fun)

@mostDGK
According to what I’ve heard it was a bug in the game that let a couple of people download it. You’ll see it in the battles every day but I’d ask Ed or someone at Tapulous about it.

@Tapulous
As for the song, it sucks to be honest! Allthough It would be better if I didn’t have to stare at a bunch of guys that look like they’ve forgot to buy shaving cream! I for one am ready for some holliday chear, Trans-Siberian Orchestra mabye??? Anyway hope next week’s is a bang!

@ Tapulous
Could you wipe my name off the Dance Dance Scoreboard, no idea how it got up there with such an unbelievable score, dont think i played through that though, can hardly sustain x8 combo due to some lag on my phone
Thnx
November 13th, 2009
TAP TAP Never fails to introduce me to new songs! and i’ve loved them ever since! inc belle of the boulevard and now this! Five finger death punch-walk away!!. anyw. its hard getting to the top 25 =( i’ve got a score of 746,944 on that song and full combo. BUT im still not winning =(
November 13th, 2009
@JayFrey
It’s ok. It happens to everyone. (except Beacheagle and Krohn7master!)
November 13th, 2009
I can’t find the special online room…:(
November 13th, 2009
Ooh now they popped up
November 13th, 2009
Are all the online contest rooms on medium difficulty? Boring…
November 13th, 2009
Special taste of music…. I don’t like it :’)
November 13th, 2009
@Cesa – Each room has both difficulties
November 13th, 2009
Oh, I played it twice and it was medium, but I also visited all rooms with ppl in them when the song was close to ending, and could see on their score that it was on medium, I guess it was just random chance then. Is it 1:1 medium/hard?
Great track by the way, I’m hoping for a FFDP track pack, their previous single was also great. Nice theme, it took a couple of plays to get used to the weird angles though
November 14th, 2009
I love the song. But I have run into a problem. I can only play the song on two player. When I try to play on a single player I get a blank black screen. I’ve downloaded it, deleted it, and got it again. Still didn’t work. HELP PLEASE
November 14th, 2009
Another emo crybaby pop-rock piece of crap, with a godawful theme that makes it unplayable. How about something that doesn’t suck? Tap tap2 had infinately better free tracks.
November 14th, 2009
@Ed I don’t think they do have both versions. I have checked probably 25+ times, always medium. (Not that I could win anyway since I don’t live in the US, but it’s still fun joining the competition)
@One f jef We all like different music, I’m sure Tapulous values all opinions, however, if you don’t like a song you could put it in a nicer way… In fact, putting it like you did will probably just hurt your chances of Tapulous caring about your opinion.
November 14th, 2009
Good song. Theme’s okay. I like FFDP. Anyway could we maybe have a Chiodos song some Thursday please? Especially the song “The Words ‘Best Friends’ Becomes Redefined”. Please?
November 15th, 2009
@Ed

Invincible -by, Adelitas Way
( its apparently the THEME SONG to WWE SUPERSTARS SHOW )
and its pretty catchy, and a perfect rock song.
for a rockin tap tap thursday.

Hey Tapulous? I have the Lady GaGa revenge, but every time i import the songs and try to play, I get this message:
“Track Read Error
There was a problem reading the audio file for this track. Try deleting and re-downloading it. You may need to use the Restore Purchased Tracks button in Options”
I already did each several times and it didn’t work.
Also, when attempting to press “Restore Purchased Tracks” it said:
“Nothing to Restore
There are no purchased tracks associated with your Tapulous profile”
is this normal? should this be there if none of my actual purchased tracks have been deleted or should I be worried? Cause I’ve bought quite a bit of music..around $15 worth.
November 18th, 2009
Why is it when sometimes I play a song and get a good score but then I get no points or coins?
November 18th, 2009
Ty u for

Hi Tapulous. I got a little problem when playing MetallicA revenge.
I downloaded the last app update, published on November 30th and cannot even play new featured song Master Of Puppets in medium as well in hard mode. I got the same error message as David gets (here above) with Lady Gaga. But the matter is that I just cannot delete that track because it ain’t no way to do so nor any “RESTORE” button in options menu. So what? Can you help me? Any e-mailed answer is welcome…
December 3rd, 2009
What? No difficulty above medium for tt2 users? I am disappoint…
December 6th, 2009
Hey, how do you chat in a game room? I should probably know thi
s by now.
