Eye of the Tiger may be the only song I could play, if I ever tried one of these music games….
i got that song 100% on medium and in the 90’s on hard.
WHAT THE! i got 100 on hard and 96 on expert
lolloloollololol if u get RB 1 Songs. then the easiest song on drums is 29 fingers. (no foot pedal)
For guitar I’m not sure “Painkiller” is hardest. I’d throw a vote in for Visions by Abnormality.
When you say hardest guitar, do you mean in real life or on the game? Because in real life Dream Theater would take every category :D
Also, I’m not sure you make any sense. Being you say Dream Theater has a harder bass line and Drum, and Painkiller only has the hardest guitar. Yet, you say it’s the hardest song for the band? Wouldn’t Dream Theater be if it had those categories? And Lebreaghs voice is not easy to mimic i’m sure.
Well, to be fair, one of the categories that Panic Attack tops out on is bass, which is never really hard for guitar hero/rock band games.
Plus Painkiller ranks above Panic Attack in vocals (4th and 10th respectively) and Painkiller is only 2nd in drums (with Panic Attack in first).
You mean 4th and 14th!
Go play Chop Suey on Boss. Now that you’ve failed the warm up (if you haven’t congrats) Do Panic Attack.
too right! only song I cant do on hard
i meant visions on guitar/bass
well Panic Attack is the HARDEST TO FC, but visions is the HARDEST TO Complete, as in pass the song in expert/hardest to gold
When you say hardest guitar, do you mean in real life or on the game? Because in real life Dream Theater would take every category :D
“Eye of the Tiger” [Man, does this song suck or what?]
lol agreed
For the bob dylan song you can play using 1 hand on drums on hard.
Your are totally wrong because Chop suey is the hardest song in vocals!!!!!!!!!
what I do for that is babobabobabobabobba for the verse and the outro sucks
and testify is easiest
excuse me psycho killer has the harest vocals
I can FC Chop Suey alot easier than MOST of the other songs, that song is easy to sing, if you think it’s hard you just suck at singing.
Chop suey is easy on vocals and eye of a tiger for me is easier on vocals then that 1 u said
NOT!!!! As long as u know the words its not that hard, The words are not that hard!!!
Very unprofessional. I disagree!
Dream Theater is def. the hardest in the game and in real life :)

Visions is the hardest drum song it is te only one Ihad trouble on on expert.
Yes ty. I was wondering where the hell was visions. No one (Yet) has ever fc’d Visions, but a few ppl have Fc’d Panic Attack
So watcha want by Beastie boys is by far and away the EASIEST bass song. Even on expert it is just a 2 notes of green over and over for the whole song! If you upstrum the whole time on expert you will unlock the perfect bass trophy (PS3) as long as you get 100%.
someone knows what they are on about
lol that song is so long but easy.
i’d vote visions by abnormalty is also the hardest song for drums and guitar, i don’t know about bass or vocals
visions is hardest on game on eveything but vocal now that is what you call rock easy
Visions is hardest on game
The Beastie boys song is the easiest song on bass guitar.
Easiest Vocals – Testify

Hardest Band – Panic Attack
that’s just my opinion
i would argue that eye of the tiger is not the easiest song for guitar. The notes come of somewhat decent fast. I play expert so I’m not just being a jack. I would say that hungry like the wolf is the easiest. I play that song every time i do a make your own set list, and i have NEVER missed a note. Other than that i agree with you completely, except maybe hardest guitar being visions. just throwing it out there
i totally agree Hi12131 i’ve beaten Painkiller 10 times on expert but i’ve never beaten Visions. also hungry like the wolf is childs play on guitar on expert compared to eye of the tiger…even though eye of the tiger is very easy too.
I would have to say that “So Whatcha want” by the beastie boys is the easiest vocal song. because there is no pitch
Watcha Want and Testify are both Nonstop talky, theres a third nostop talky in the game and they also make up a challenge.
You just have to whisper :P
Give it Away is also a Nonstop talky until the last phrase.
watcha want is the easiest vocal all you have to do is talk nonstop and you 100% the song
well if ur not including downloaded songs i would agree with the drum one but its not realy that hard to be honnest since iv managed to 5 star it with the normal drum set and the normal pedal i.e with out the ion drum kit and destroyer bass pedal. if u include the downloaded songs i would say its between good morning/black friday or blinded by fear since iv only completed blinded by fear i would say good morning/black friday because of the stupidly hard drum fill near the end :P
Spoonman is by far the hardest song for Vocals.
Tangled up in Blue is hard but it’s not the hardest.
To me they are both easy, I find Rob The Prez-O-Dent the only failable song in the game. I have platinum vocals too… that song is just too much nonsense babble for me.
Easiest on vocals: so watcha want…well….visions is pretty easy…what you have to do?…just talk and talk
Hardest on vocals: Tangled Up in blue…that on eis pretty hard
Easiest on bass: so watcha want…come on this song is just tooooo easy…is not even fair
Hardest on bass…well…theres a fight between visions and Pannic Attack….I preffer Pannic because DT kicks ass
Easyest on guitar: so watch want….this song is fun…but its too damn easy!
Hardest on guitar: Well…Painkiller is a total respect…but visions and pannic attack gives you a really rough time
Easiest on drums:eye of the tiger
Hardest on drums: Painkiller….come on! just hear that solo!
Easiest on band..mmm…Eye of the tiger
Hardest: Fight between visions and Painkiller
I love almost all the songs…but i just can’t take Cool for cats and Spirit in the sky…I avoid them anytime I can
Pretty sure Panic Attack is harder than painkiller, mainly because I beat painkiller first while I couldn’t even get past like 76% on panic attack or whenever. I mean right now I can do both no star power but Panic Attack is definitely harder and Visions is harden than Panic Attack, as a band Visions is probably the hardest, besides the vocals the other 3 instruments are pretty much hardest in game, most of my drum friends say they don’t do endless because of visions and I never did endless until I knew I could beat visions which took a while but like said it’s all easy now. Vocals for ALL THREE are Easy. Only real hard vocal is rob the prez-o-dent, reason being is because when you try to mimic his voice it’s on a different scale which will really cause you to loose in 4 phrases at any point in the song. If not for the talky everywhere that song would just be a nightmare. Anyone who says spoon man is hard it ain’t. Tangled up in blue ain’t if you … actually have a “good” voice, by good I mean good enough to do “bad” and get “famous”
About time i get 100% in Pain Killer !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! all i need is the 5 drum achivements…..
This Calling by All That Remains is by far the hardest song on drums
Clearly you have not played “What A Horrible Night To Have A Curse” By The Black Dahlia Murder. Hardest drum song yet.
My Opinion:
Hardest Guitar: Visions/Satch Boogie(DLC)
Bass: Visons
Drums: What A Horrible Night To Have A Curse(DLC)
Vocals: Spoonman
-In real life Visions would be hardest vocals. Many people take Death Growls for granite, but they’re actually really hard to preform CORRECTLY. i may be a little bias because im an avid Death Metal fan lol :)
