![]() Try This Instead: “Good Vibrations” is the only song by The Beach Boys in the entire Rock Band canon, but you can always try singing easier songs from their ‘60s contemporaries in The Beatles: Rock Band.Ġ7. The Beach Boys were known for their clean (and painfully challenging) harmonies, and asking amateur gamers to compete with that is almost unfair. Not only are you tasked with singing Brian Wilson’s part but also Carl Wilson’s. It’s almost cruel to expect gamers to match Wilson’s (and the other Beach Boys’) range in Rock Band 3, but Harmonix put players to the test with a live version of “Good Vibrations”. The Beach Boys – “Good Vibrations (Live)” from Rock Band 3 (Vocals)īrian Wilson’s exquisite, masterful vocals are nearly irreplicable. Try This Instead: Lacuna Coil aren’t exactly a death metal band, but “Our Truth” from Rock Band 2 is a much easier alternative for those who still want to play metal without destroying their fingertips.Ġ8. Abnormality is a death metal band after all, and what is a death metal band without agonizingly difficult songs? Rock Band 2 does a great job of projecting that chaos into a video game, as it’s even more difficult to play in real life. Its high-speed walk-ups and walk-downs are difficult to keep up with, and “Visions” is less of a song and more of a musical adrenaline rush. The bassline in Abnormality’s “Visions” is restless. Abnormality – “Visions” from Rock Band 2 (Bass) Try This Instead: For an easier classic guitar song to play, Joan Jett and the Blackhearts’ “I Love Rock N’ Roll” is available in Rock Band 3.Ġ9. ![]() Although Aerosmith would get their very own Guitar Hero game, it was Rock Band that gave them love first. As plenty of classic rock is, this track is brimming with showy guitar solos, and hitting every note is far from a minor accomplishment. Aerosmith – “Train Kept a Rollin’” from Rock Band (Guitar)Īerosmith’s “Train Kept a Rollin’” from the original Rock Band is easily one of the most difficult songs for a guitarist in the game. There’s a reason that a group of friends trying to get through nearly any death metal song in the Rock Band franchise usually results in a laughing fit.ġ0. Whereas some songs are challenging but still enjoyable, others are exceptionally unfair. Now, as someone who’s played drums, guitar, bass, and other instruments for a decent chunk of my life, I admit that some Rock Band songs are simply cruel. When I had started teaching myself how to play drums for songs I downloaded from iTunes, I understood that playing in expert mode for Rock Band drums was as identical as you could get to playing real drums without a proper kit. You could walk into any of your friends’ houses and see Rock Band instruments haphazardly strewn across the floor or lazily piled in a living room corner. But that’s when the Rock Band series, now 13 years old, was at its cultural zenith. I’m still grateful for the fundamental training I received through those lessons, but I never really had the opportunity to play the music I wanted that early in my life. I had purchased songs by AFI, Rise Against, and Blink-182 for my new high-tech device, and I wanted to learn how to play them on my drum kit.Īt my drum lessons, we primarily played marching music and elementary jazz. When I received an iPod Nano as a birthday gift two years later, I realized what it truly was that I wanted to learn. This wasn’t the component I was even interested in. I desperately wanted to learn how to play the drums, but I had a difficult time wrapping my head around certain theoretical concepts. ![]() ![]() I remember taking drum lessons when I was 10 years old.
