visions is a lot easier than llama lol. lots of hard rb3 songs only have hard parts or sections like rader loves outro and beast and the harlots solo. rb2 had more songs that were harder throughtout.

Rb3 has a lot more variety though with more swing beats and disco beats IMO. Rb2 seemed to be more alternative and metal. I like rb3 more for the mid-tier songs.

The end of Peace Sells used to fail me all of the time, so in my opinion it's at least worth noting. Still haven't FC'd Teenage Riot, but I did Everlong so I feel that it's also worth noting as difficult, but obviously this is all based on the moderate amount of skill that I have, not geared towards people who are barely playing expert, or even towards someone that's FCing everything like it's Charlene.

It's probably worth noting that by the time most of us played RB3's setlist on drums, we'd already mastered RB2's setlist, and without a huge leap (or any leap) in difficulty from RB2 to RB3, RB3 seems easy by comparison, because we have gotten better...

But part of that is that we're comparing RB3's difficulty to our first impressions of RB2's setlist (which WAS a leap in difficulty over RB1, generally). I remember struggling a lot with Teen Age Riot, Everlong, Peace Sells, and Visions, but that was a long time ago and I've improved a lot.

It's probably safe to say that, in general, the RB3 setlist is not any more difficult than the RB2 setlist, with Llama being the only song that pushes the envelope, Caught in a Mosh the only other fast/endurance type song, and Radar Love and Beast and the Harlot the only other "failable" songs because of specific difficult parts. But at the same time, it's not any easier than the RB2 setlist overall, either.

I just don't see how Jerry Was a Race Car Driver (the first impossible of RB3) is more difficult than Teen Age Riot (first impossible of RB2), so the recalibration of the difficulty tiers from RB2 to RB3 makes no sense to me. They should have left it alone and put Jerry Was a Race Car Driver right above Teen Age Riot (actually they should have put Before I Forget in that position but that's my opinion).

Clearly they didn't give it too much thought, or they would have realized they moved a lot of difficult songs from impossible to nightmare tier. I'm not saying they broke the RBN tiering intentionally, but that they just didn't even think about that side effect, which indicates that they don't really care...

You have a really good point about the jump in skill though. Some songs like teenage riot still wear me out more than visions or anything like that. Maybe it's just me but teenage riot has always given me stamina problems lol. I think the direction there going in is good though with more variety instead of fast thrash songs and metal.

Visions is harder than Llama. Passing, doing well, FCing, everything. Llama is really overrated.

Nothing on drums is hard everything is easy.
