Rock Band 3 FC Breakdown (PRO)

[sycocoaster]

I'll give you the full list as I see it here. (As a side note, I will say that this is based on playing almost exclusively one-handed, so some songs may be easier with two than I rank them here.)

1. Need You Tonight
2. Before I Forget
3. The Beautiful People
4. Rainbow in the Dark
5. Whip It
6. Stop Me if You Think You've Heard This Before
7. Combat Baby
8. Rock Lobster
9. Just Like Heaven

(no changes, this part seems pretty refined )

10. I Love Rock N'Roll (I personally find this one to be much easier.)
11. Oh My God
12. Foolin'
13. The Con
14. Radar Love
15. In the Meantime
16. Heart of Glass
17. Last Dance
18. Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots Pt. 1



19. Werewolves of London
20. Imagine
21. Here I Go Again
22. Everybody Wants to Rule the World
23. Oye Mi Amor
24. Walk of Life
25. Living in America
26. Get Up, Stand Up
27. Killing Loneliness



28. Midlife Crisis
29. Don't Stand So Close to Me
30. Crosstown Traffic
31. Low Rider
32. Walking on the Sun (glissandos are HARD, ok)
33. Humanoid (fast percussive notes aren't easy either)
34. I Need to Know
35. Good Vibrations (Live)
36. The Power of Love



37. Portions for Foxes
38. Space Oddity
39. Something Bigger, Something Brighter
40. In A Big Country (framing 3 chords is not that hard, come on!)
41. Break on Through (The Other Side)
42. The Look
43. The Killing Moon (ending is a nightmare!)
44. Cold As Ice
45. Centerfold



46. Du Hast
47. I Got You (I Feel Good) (Live)
48. 25 or 6 to 4
49. Sister Christian
50. 20th Century Boy
51. This Bastard's Life
52. Dead End Friends
53. Me Enamora
54. Bohemian Rhapsody



55. China Grove
56. Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting
57. Rehab (ugh grace notes are way more difficult than any kind of chord changes)
58. Free Bird
59. Smoke on the Water (really only has 2 or 3 very difficult parts)
60. Fly Like an Eagle
61. Antibodies (I'm just terrible at this song relative to everyone else)
62. Llama
63. Roundabout

I deliberated over this list a lot so I'm pretty sure of it. Also I have lots and lots of piano experience, so that probably had a heavy influence here.

I disagree. Werewolves was EXTREMELY frustrating for me to FC. There are just enough changes so that as soon as you zone out and start not paying attention, there's an extra note or two.

My reason for putting Werewolves so high is exactly what Malictus said. Technical difficulty is not the only factor in a FC. Being able to hit every section in a song is quite different from hitting all of them in one run. I had to restart that song so many times just because I would get lost in the repetition and make a simple mental error. If this doesn't plague you, then you are lucky. Also, the difficult part of the song is at the very end, which is only asking for a choke.

Nerves are a huge part of playing perfectly, and they can easily get the better of you.

Oye Mi Amor - you have a pretty good point. I just figured the only difficult part is at the start, so you just restart until you get that.

Living in America - That bridge part was pretty tricky to get down perfectly. It's kind of another section where you will get lost without being overly attentive.

Break on Through - there's a 5 note glissando that I missed OVER and OVER that comes right after a few chords. I find it quite challenging actually. That's not the only hard part, either. I can't really see anything below it that I would move up...

Cold As Ice - I think that because the solo is all black notes it is particularly easy. I remember only missing it just a few times, and now it's quite easy for me. Also, it's at the beginning.

I...don't recall any 3 note chords in I Love Rock n' Roll, which is slower in tempo than Werewolves. I FC'd ILRnR on my second playthrough, which I don't think I did even with Before I Forget, The Beautiful People, Stop Me, or Just Like Heaven.

The Killing Moon is waaaaay too high. Even though the second half's 4-note-chords are nasty, there are only 2 of them, so it's repetitive and highly learnable. By my count there are 13 songs which are beyond a shadow of a doubt harder to FC that are ranked below it and another 5 or so that I would personally make a case for. I'd place China Grove lower as well - there's a lot of tricky stuff, and that beginning glissando and trill are both troublesome, but it's all cake compared to the likes of Bohemian Rhapsody. I think In A Big Country is a bit high as well - the chords are pretty much unhittable for somebody who can only pull 5 - 10 FC's, but somebody who can pull off 20 to 25 should at least be able to come close on that one - consistency is the biggest obstacle there. I'm sort of with the rest of the crew on Antibodies in that there are definitely more than 2 songs that are harder.

The earlier half looks pretty decent to me though - the only one that strikes me as way too low is Killing Loneliness, just because that song is so shifty and requires such a high level of focus for the entire time. I'd make a similar, less drastic case for I Need To Know as well.

I'm starting to think that Fly Like an Eagle is easier than Smoke on the Water, and even that Llama is easier than Antibodies. Probably not what everyone thinks, but that's my thoughts.

Other than that the list still looks really good to me.
