ahem :) fixed

Also, I'd like to mention that I'm shocked at how high Enter Sandman and Mississippi Queen are on the vocal tier - those are such a cakewalk for me - I would have guessed 2nd tier for both of those vocally, but 8 for MQ?? Maybe I'll be surprised when playing it, but that seems so easy!

[Smoky_McAshtray]

Did you put this together yourself or did someone publish this? Just wondering since you said those songs ranked higher than you would have thought.

[LongDarkBlues]

I put it together - I averaged the difficulty tier for each of the 3 main instruments (out of 9) and sorted them by percentage in relation to Iron Maiden (being 100% difficulty with 9th tier on every instrument)

I love how he's all nonchalant about it. "Yea, I just had to go through every difficulty campaign on every instrument and send the data back to my research center in the Swiss Alps." haha GJ

I'm not sure I believe the source's vocal tiers. Epic - 3rd tier, MQ - 8th? That can't be right.

Epic is mostly atonal parts. It's a lot easier than singing MQ, which has held notes that alternate between two pitches. It seems right to me.

[MaineDrummer]

Very interesting. Poor Nirvana. :p

Awesome job man.

[KidInsomnia]

Main Offender and Are You Gonna Be My Girl are missing, unless I missed them.

[Electric_Zen]

Thanks very much for this list!

I am surprised that the vocal ranking for Green Grass and High Tides is 7/9. The vocal part is short and not very varied.

Unless they are factoring in the "difficulty" of sitting through seven minutes of guitar solos.

[LongDarkBlues]

Main Offender and Are You Gonna Be My Girl are missing, unless I missed them.

you're right! That'll teach me to drink and do list-making and math! I'll get them up asap - the source (also compiled by moi) is based on what the difficulty tiers posted by people who have the game have said - I haven't played it yet (22 more hours!!) - Waffles (I think) posted the vocal tier on Something Awful.

Epic's singing part is pretty short - probably short enough that you could totally skip it and not fail out.

This list is awesome, LongDarkBlues. Perhaps you could integrate this with your annotated song list. I really had a blast looking through the different tracks and comparing the difficulty of each instrument. It would be fun to compare the percentage as the same time.

Fun stuff!

[LongDarkBlues]

No problem - I'll add it at the bottom
