[HollywoodBound]

I know it's not rock but I think Scat Man would probably be really hard for vocals.

[masterx1918]

I know it's not rock but I think Scat Man would probably be really hard for vocals.

scat man rules, and would be impossible on vocals but the chances of it being in Rock Band are next to none.

[BobLoblaw]

REM - It's the End of the World As We Know it for Vocals.

[Julio-Claudius]

The hardest for drums would either be Burn (Deep Purple) or the YYZ master track (rush)

The hardest for Guitar would be Thunderstruck (AC/DC)

The hardest for vocals would either be Don't Stop Believin' (Journey) or Keep on Lovin' You (REO Speedwagon). You need some SERIOUS chops to sing those songs right.

[Rev0lver]

Roundabout-Yes


LOL yeah right.

my picks:
guitar:
the human abstract- nocturne
the fall of troy- ex creations
psyopus- insects

vocals:
the mars volta- cassandra gemini

bass:
protest the hero- no stars over bethlehem(might be that, i can't remember the one i'm thinking of)
rush- YYZ(although wouldn't work in this game)

drums:
the berzerker- purgatory

[progROCKER]

Man in the box- alice in chains

[2pacchrist]

guitar: any of bucketheads fast songs prolly nottingham lace...


drums: prolly yyz but im no drummer so i realy dont know alot of good drummers...

vocals: dont stop believin i just love that song... some would argue that some emo screaming **** would be tougher... but who the **** likes emo... eeeeewww...

bass: alot of rhcp is pretty fast... but buckethead can definately kick the **** out of a bass... long live lord buckethead!

[Anteraan]

The hardest for drums would either be Burn (Deep Purple) or the YYZ master track (rush)

The hardest for Guitar would be Thunderstruck (AC/DC)

The hardest for vocals would either be Don't Stop Believin' (Journey) or Keep on Lovin' You (REO Speedwagon). You need some SERIOUS chops to sing those songs right.

I'd love to see both of your vocal choices in the game (I enjoy singing them actually), but More Than a Feeling (yes, I know it was in GHI) is more demanding than either. Lots of other BOSTON songs would fill the bill on that one for that matter (there are a few fun notes in Rock N Roll Band, for instance, and pitch control is key on Foreplay/Long Time). Brad Delp is just in a league of his own, and never took a singing lesson - wild!

I think for vocals, timing and pitch control will be the keys to killer scores, especially timing on the higher levels.

[no_direction_home]

lol thunderstruck is easy on guitar

vocals
the mars volta - tetragrammaton
anything by cradle of filth

bass
rush - yyz
rancid - maxwell murder (sh*t band but good bass)

guitar
the mars volta tetragrammaton
dragonforce - through the fire and the flames

drums
dimmu borgir - Allehelgens død i helveds rike
dimmu borgir - Absolute Sole Right (dimmu borgir can realy abuse the bass drum)

[Rev0lver]

lol thunderstruck is easy on guitar



it's honestly a hell of alot easier than it sounds. the intro is just repeating 0-4-0-7 and 0-5-0-7 over and over on the 1st string

[no_direction_home]

its actually second string

[no_direction_home]

i think???

[Rev0lver]

whatever, i rarely play guitar, you get my point though.

[acthomas]

tetragrammaton would slay me in this game. also and muse song for bass or vocals would be hard. guitar is difficult as well.

i think you like dream theater a little too much

[Phiromos]

I'd have to say

Guitar: dragonforce - through the fire and the flames

Drums:
Led Zepplin- Achillies last stand or moby dick

Bass: maybe not most challenging but very defined, anything by Flea, RHCP

Vocals: even tho its not that hard i really like don't stop believin' but hmm i'd have to say, for rangewise, Hey Jude, its repetitive yes, but the high pitched scream right be for the repeating na's is very high and hard to hit, also any Queen song is pretty challenging for males

[Kang_Zircon]

This is grossly inappropriate but probably one of the most difficult vocals I can think of is Crocodile Rock by Elton John.

[TNT1129]

Anything by Queen would be the hardest vocals. No one can compare with Freddie Mercury.

[battle_axe_of_doom]

i think you like dream theater a little too much

anyone who likes dream theater even so much as the tiniest bit likes dream theater too much.

[SirAnonymous]

Great Gig In The Sky by Pink Floyd would be a bugger for vocals.

[Simonious]

I'll list bands instead of songs.

Vocals:
Rush
Queens of the Stone Age
Weezer

Gee-tar:
Classic rock bands that are actually good.

Bass:
Primus
Rush

(Short, but they are le pwnage.)

Drums:
I honestly don't pay too much attention to drums. Please don't kill me, murder is illegal in most countries.

Soothsayer, is harder than Nottingham lace imo.

[KingofQUEEN48]

vocals: bohemian rhapsody

[newwaytodie]

Ok, listen up.

The song:

The Divine Wings Of Tradgedy

The Band:

Symphony X

20 minutes long. Every instrument is ridiculously hard. The vocalist is amazing.

Beating this on expert would be hilarious.
