Rock Band 3 Deluxe // The Only Exception FC // 213,923

Getting this score was a lot more difficult than it should have been - at this tempo double squeezes should be tough but fair, but all the ones after the first act felt extremely tight on timing.
By the end of the grind I was able to hit the verse 1 double on about 40% of attempts - but no joke, it took almost 20 runs with that squeeze to ever get the one in chorus 2. Even at that I barely got it in by same framing both sides of the act.
The first double is worth 300 extra points but the others are only worth 100 each, so theoretically optimal would be 100 points higher with another barely possible double squeeze in the last chorus. Good luck with that though.
The path also showed a double in verse 2 but I highly doubt it's actually possible given that it's even worse due to the 100% error.
This score beat 1st place on SH by 101 points.
I only ever missed the glitchy tick once by the end of the song; on most attempts I'd lose it either in the OD sustains or the RYO chord leading to the last chorus like this run, but then have it come back on the last note. Guess they got unlucky.
Bonus fun fact: due to the 6/8 time you actually lose OD by trying to overlap an act on the 2 sustains leading out of the bridge, whammying just makes it drain slower lol
