Rock Band Samples<\/title> <\/head><\/p>\n<p><body link=\"#FFFF00\" vlink=\"#C0C0C0\" alink=\"#FFFFFF\" text=\"#FFFFFF\" bgcolor=\"#000000\"><\/p>\n<h1>General Information<\/h1>\n<p>Welcome to the dedicated samples page for the very popular musical video game known as Rock Band. This page contains samples of blind folk playing specific songs from that game, including some of the vast library of downloadable songs, which can only be acquired in the Playstation 3, Xbox 360 and Wii versions of the game. What follows is a set of links to each song, which can be clicked to hear that song being played by either me, or another blind person in Rock Band. These links will be unanotated, except where I feel there is something specific or interesting to say, and they will be separated by instrument as well using headings. Also, when looking at each link, you will be able to see whether the person playing the song succeeded, failed, or maybe even had a really close call with a specific song. There are several samples of each, in order to provide variety in your song choices if simply sampling these situations. This collection will most likely expand as more downloadable content is released, and more blind people are converted to the way of Rock Band.<\/p>\n<p>A couple other things to note before we begin. There are several sounds you will hear during these songs other than those of the crowd and the actual music. I will attempt to describe these sounds, so that they may be understood when heard. The sounds in Rock Band 1 and 2 are as follows. The first, which sounds vaguely like an electric guitar getting electricuted, is the sound heard when you gain energy in the game. This energy can be used to bring you back from near failure, and really pump up the crowd as well. Also, it doubles the score you receive from each note while active. Which brings me to my next sound. When you hear a quick, rising and descending electric guitar note that doesn’t necessarily go with the song that’s being played, you know that the energy stored up to that point has been activated. And when you hear something that sounds a little like a small wind blowing, that energy has run out, and must be built up again. You may also hear strange effects on the guitar audio during some moments. This is the result of the setting of the Effects Switch, which is only present on Rock Band guitars. Each setting puts on a different effect, which is only used when energy is active. Thus, this is another indication of that state. Lastly, when you hear a single ding, it means the player has played well enough to gain a star. A song can earn up to five stars, so effectively you’re seeing, and hearing, your rating on that song go up as you play. I should note that all sounds I have just described, save for the star sound, are different depending on the instrument, each possessing its own unique qualities. I should also note that the sounds for the Rock Band games beyond Rock Band 2 have changed. Beatles Rock Band, Greenday Rock Band, and Rock Band 3 all have their own unique takes on these sounds, though they’re not so different as to be unrecognizeable. Even in Rock Band 3, gaining energy just sounds like something actually rising, getting a star is a little magical series of dings instead of just one, and activating overdrive is a very obvious machinelike hissing sound. I don’t think there’ll be any problems here, but I thought all this should be clarified. And now that that’s out of the way, enjoy the music!<\/p>\n<h1>Guitar Samples<\/h1>\n<p> <a href=\"rock band guitar set list.txt\">My complete Guitar Set List<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>This is a plane texttttt file containing all the songs that I can play on the guitar. It will be updated as songs are added to my lisst, which is to say that it may be updated more often than the samples on this site, so check back often.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/AngelsAndAirwavesItHurts.mp3\">Angels and Airwaves: It Hurts: Close Call<\/a> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/AvengedSevenfoldAfterlife.mp3\">Avenged Sevenfold: Afterlife: Close Call<\/a> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/AvengedSevenfoldCriticalAclaim.mp3\">Avenged Sevenfold: Critical Aclaim: Success<\/a> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/Blink182AllTheSmallThings.mp3\">Blink 182: All the Small Things: Success<\/a> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/BonJoviDeadOrAlive.mp3\">Bon Jovi: Dead or Alive: Close Call<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Note: And I mean reeeeeeeally close call. This song is haaaard! Oh and also, this song does a great job of demonstrating Rock Band’s crowd singalong mechanic. See, if you do well enough, they always clap, but in some songs, they’ll start singing along as well. Don’t believe me? Listen.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/CoheedAndCambriaWelcomeHome.mp3\">Coheed and Cambria: Welcome Home: Spectacular Failure<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Note: Spectacular failures are those songs which I play really well for a large portion of the song, but fail almost immediately when I reach a certain point. This particular performance did surprise me, however, as when I reached that point, I didn’t fail as quickly as I thought I would.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/CrookedXNightmare.mp3\">Crooked X: Nightmare: Success<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Note: While this one’s passable, Clement’s playing of Nightmare turned out far better. Go Clement!<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/DisturbedIndestructable.mp3\">Disturbed: Indestructable: Success<\/a> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/DisturbedInsideTheFire.mp3\">Disturbed: Inside the Fire: Success<\/a> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/FaithNoMoreWeCareALot.mp3\">Faith No More: We Care A Lot: Success<\/a> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/FalloutBoyThisAin'tASceneIt'sAnArmsRace.mp3\">Fallout Boy: This Ain’t a Scene, It’s an Arms Race: Success<\/a> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/FlyleafI'mSoSick.mp3\">Flyleaf: I’m So Sick: Success<\/a> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/FooFightersLearnToFly.mp3\">Foo Fighters: Learn to Fly: Success<\/a> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/FreezepopBrainpower.mp3\">Freezepop: Brainpower: Success<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Note: Interesting little fact here. If you were to acquire this song outside of the game and listen to it, you’d notice that the guitar part, which is of course present in the game, isn’t actually in the song. It seems Harmonics added that part themselves, as without it it couldn’t be played to the fullest extent in Rock Band.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/FreezepopSuperSprode.mp3\">Freezepop: Super Sprode: Success<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Note: Another instance of the part you play not actually being in the original song.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/GarbageIThinkI'mParanoid.mp3\">Garbage: I Think I’m Paranoid: Success<\/a> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/GladosStillAlive.mp3\">Glados: Still Alive: Success<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Note: This song is actually from another video game called Portal. It plays during the credits of that game, and I am inclined to believe that, given the lyrics, this song contains spoilers. Listen at your own risk.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/HBlockXCountdownToInsanity.mp3\">H-block X: Countdown to Insanity: Success<\/a> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/HoleCelebritySkin.mp3\">Hole: Celebrity Skin: Success<\/a> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/HonestBobAndTheFactoryToDealerInsentivesIGetBy.mp3\">Honest Bob and the Factory to Dealer Insentives: I Get By: Success<\/a> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/JetAreYouGonnaBeMyGirl.mp3\">Jet: Are You Gonna Be My Girl: Success<\/a> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/JimmyBuffettCheeseburgerInParadise.mp3\">Jimmy Buffett: Cheeseburger in Paradise: Close Call<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Note: This one’s pretty down to the wire as well. It’s definitely not one of my noteworthy efforts, but I did get through it.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/KillswitchEngageMyCurse.mp3\">Killswitch Engage: My Curse: Success<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Note: One of those I am particularly proud of. This song is not easy, and is probably harder than it sounds to someone who hasn’t played it. But I think I do pretty well.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/KissDetroitRockCity.mp3\">Kiss: Detroit Rock City: Success<\/a> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/MaximoParkGirlsWhoPlayGuitars.mp3\">Maximo Park: Girls Who Play Guitars: Success<\/a> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/MetallicaAndJusticeForAll.mp3\">Metallica: And Justice for All: Failure<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Note: Yes, don’t be fooled by the length of the recording. This is an extremely long song, and what I got through was just a little less than half of it.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/MetallicaEnterSandman.mp3\">Metallica: Enter Sandman: Failure<\/a> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/MetallicaEnterSandman2.mp3\">Metallica: Enter Sandman Revisited: Success<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Note: This is another shot at the same song, and as you can gather from the link, it turns out a whole lot better.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/MountainMississippiQueen.mp3\">Mountain: Mississippi Queen: Success<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Note: One of the easiest songs in the game when all are sorted by skill, and yet I still haven’t perfected it. It’s all those interesting little paterns in the middle, I think.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/MuseHysteria.mp3\">Muse: Hysteria: Failure<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Note: You will see that I know almost nothing of this song, but did this sample by request. So uh, there ya have it.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/NervanaInBloom.mp3\">Nervana: In Bloom: Success<\/a> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/NineInchNailsTheHandThatFeeds.mp3\">Nine Inch Nails: The Hand that Feeds: Success<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Note: This song demonstrates Rock Band’s “Big Rock Ending” feature, during which you go crazy, strumming whatever notes you want on whatever frets you want, building and building your score. The trick is that you must hit the song’s very last note or notes. Failure to do this will negate the Rock Ending, and remove all the points you built from it. I got this one though.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/OKGoHereItGoesAgain.mp3\">OK Go: Here It Goes Again: Success<\/a> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/PapaRoachTimeIsRunningOut\">Papa Roach: Time is Running Out: Success<\/a> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/ParamoreCrushCrushCrush.mp3\">Paramore: Crush Crush Crush: Success<\/a> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/QueensOfTheStoneAge3sAnd7s.mp3\">Queens of the Stone Age: 3s and 7s: Failure<\/a> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/QueensOfTheStoneAgeGoWithTheFlow.mp3\">Queens of the Stone Age: Go With the Flow: Success<\/a> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/RadioheadCreep.mp3\">Radiohead: Creep: Success<\/a> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/RedHotChiliPeppersDaniCalifornia.mp3\">Red Hot Chili Peppers: Dani California: Close Call<\/a> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/REMOrangeCrush.mp3\">R.E.M: Orange Crush: Success<\/a> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/ScarsOnBroadwayTheySay\">Scars On Broadway: They Say: Success<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Note: This song is ridiculously easy. It’s, like, two songs above the easiest song in the game. For those who play Rock Band, it’s one easier than Maps<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/ShinedownDevour.mp3\">Shinedown: Devour: Utter Success<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Note: What is an utter success? Why, one hundred percent of notes hit, that’s what. A perfect playthrough.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/ShinedownJunkiesForFame.mp3\">Shinedown: Junkies for Fame: Close Call<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Note: This song holds a special place in Rock Band as a Rock Band exclusive. You will not find it on any of Shinedown’s albums.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/SixxAMLifeIsBeautiful.mp3\">Sixx A.M: Life is Beautiful: Success<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Note: I missed the first freakin note of this song! Oy…<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/SoundGardenBlackHoleSun.mp3\">Sound Garden: Black Hole Sun: Spectacular Failure<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Note: Another one which demonstrates the singing crowd mechanic very well.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/SoundGardenBlackHoleSun2.mp3\">Sound Garden: Black Hole Sun Revisited: Success<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Note: Yep, finished it this time, and got the rock ending too. Yaaaaay me!<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/StoneTemplePilotsInterstateLovesong.mp3\">Stone Temple Pilots: Interstate Lovesong: Success<\/a> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/StoneTemplePilotsVasoline.mp3\">Stone Temple Pilots: Vasoline: Spectacular Failure<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Note: I am inconsistent with this song. I have succeeded in playing it more than once, and yet it was not to be this time.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/SystemOfADownBYOB.mp3\">System Of a Down: B.Y.O.B: Success<\/a> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/SystemOfADownToxicity.mp3\">System of a Down: Toxicity: Success<\/a> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/TheAcrobratsDayLateDollarShort\">The Acrobrats: Day Late, Dollar Short: Success<\/a> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/TheAllAmericanRejectsDirtyLittleSecret.mp3\">The All American rejects: Dirty Little Secret: Success<\/a> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/TheAllAmericanRejectsMoveAlong.mp3\">The All American Rejects: Move Along: Success<\/a> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/TheClashShouldIStayOrShouldIGo.mp3\">The Clash: Should I Stay or Should I Go: Success<\/a> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/TheKillersWhenYouWereYoung.mp3\">The Killers: When You Were Young<\/a> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/ThemTerriblesBulletsAndGuns.mp3\">Them Terribles: Bullets and Guns: Success<\/a> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/ThePixiesWaveOfMutilation.mp3\">The Pixies: Wave of Mutilation: Success<\/a> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/TheRamonesBlitzkreigBop.mp3\">The Ramones: Blitzkreig Bop: Success<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Note: Another crowd-pleaser.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/TheStrokesReptilia.mp3\">The Strokes: Reptilia: Success<\/a> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/ThirtySecondsToMarsAttack.mp3\">Thirty Seconds to Mars: Attack: Success<\/a> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/ThirtySecondsToMarsTheKill.mp3\">Thirty Seconds to Mars: The Kill: Success<\/a> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/TimmyAndTheLordsOfTheUnderworld.mp3\">Timmy and the Lords of the Underworld: Failure<\/a> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/TokioHotelMonsoon.mp3\">Tokio Hotel: Monsoon: Success<\/a> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/VagiantSeven.mp3\">Vagiant: Seven: Success<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Note: I played this song for a very specific reason. While it is not listed amongst the easiest songs when sorted by difficulty, it is probably the easiest one to pick up in the entire game. It has a very simple, three-chord progression through basically the entire song. I got it almost perfectly the first time I ever played it. And this time, well, I just um, pressed the wrong button in the beginning…<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/WeezerBuddyHolly.mp3\">Weezer: Buddy Holly: Success<\/a> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/WeezerElScorcho.mp3\">Weezer: El Scorcho: Success<\/a> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/WeezerSayItAin'tSo.mp3\">Weezer: Say It Ain’t So: Success<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Note: One of the best examples of the singing crowd, mainly because the crowd does something I find utterly hilarious if you’re doing well enough. Listen carefully to the song’s bridge, and when it reaches the little guitar solo, you’ll hear the crowd singing along with… the guitar.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/WolfmotherJokerAndTheThief.mp3\">Wolfmother: Joker and the Thief: Success<\/a> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/say%20it%20aint%20so%20-%20guitar.mp3\">Weezer: Say It Ain’t So: Clement’s Sample: Success<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>For someone who didn’t know how to play the Rock Band Guitar before, this one’s sure good. Most awesome, in fact.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/welcome%20home%20-%20guitar.mp3\">Coheed and Cambria: Welcome Home: Clement’s Sample: Success<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Yes indeed. I am man enough to admit when I have been bested. Clement shows us all that he was lying about not being able to play the guitar, when he rocks my world with this song which, as you can see if you check out the sampe above, I failed. Dude.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/detroit%20rock%20city%20guitar.mp3\">Kiss: Detroit Rock City: Clement’s Sample: Success<\/a> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/dead%20or%20alive%20guitar.mp3\">Bon Jovi: Dead or Alive: Clement’s Sample: Close Call<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Yes, let’s be fair. Ya came pretty close near the end there, Clement. Heheeheh.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/when%20you%20were%20young%20guitar.mp3\">The Killers: When You Were Young: Clement’s Sample: Success<\/a> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/here%20it%20goes%20again%20guitar.mp3\">OK Go: Here it Goes Again: Clement’s Sample: Success<\/a> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/blitzkreig bop guitar.mp3\">The Ramons: Blitzkreig Bop: Clement’s Sample: Success<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Note: Big success is more like it. He gets very nearly a hundred percent on this song. Listening to this sample will be almost like listening to the song as it originally sounds. Well, except for the crowd, and the star sounds, and…<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/dani california guitar.mp3\">Red Hot Chillipeppers: Dani California: Clement’s Sample: Minor Close Call<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Note: The crowd only starts booing a little teeny tiny bit, so…<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/epic guitar.mp3\">Faith No More: Epic: Clement’s Sample: Failure<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Note: What? What’s this? What’d that link say? Failure? Well, I suppose Clement had to bring his own death into this medium sometime, eh? Heheh. Seriously though, I shouldn’t talk. He gets just as far as I do in this song. Yeah, that’s right. I can’t finish it yet either.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/welcome home revisited.mp3\">Coheed and Cambria: Welcome Home: Clement’s Sample: Revisited: Success<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Note: This is something that Clement decided to do, wishing to submit a better performance than his first sample of this song. Believe me, he succeeded.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/dead or alive revisited guitar.mp3\">Bon Jovi: Dead or Alive: Clement’s Sample: Revisited: Success<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Note: Once again Clement wanted to show us a better performance, and once again he succeeded. A much better solo in this one. Congrats, Clement.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/run to the hills guitar.mp3\">Iron Maiden: Run to the Hills: Clement’s Sample: Close Call<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Note: If there is anything Clement deserves congratulations for, though, it’s finishing this song. He almost bombed the solo, but what does it matter? He finished one of the game’s most difficult songs.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/paranoyed guitar.mp3\">Black Sabbath: Paranoyed: Clement’s Sample: Success<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Note:And here’s another noteable. I haven’t actually finished this song myself, so congrats again.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/green grass and high tides guitar.mp3\">The Outlaws: Green Grass and High Tides: Clement’s Sample: Failure<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Note: Hey, this is a really, really, really hard song. And to his credit, though he didn’t finish it, he got further than I did.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/nightmare guitar.mp3\">Crooked X: Nightmare: Clement’s Sample: Success<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Note: Truly a splendid performance here. Go Clement go!<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/dani california revisited.mp3\">Red Hot Chile Peppers: Dani California: Revisited: Clement’s Sample: Success<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Note: Another song Clement revisits in order to provide us with a better performance.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/dani california complete.mp3\">Red Hot Chile Peppers: Dani California: Again Revisited: Clement’s Sample: Utter Success<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Note: But he didn’t think that last performance was quite good enough. So here it is again, this time with absolutely one hundred percent of notes hit. Congrats, Clement.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/when you were young revisited.mp3\">The Killers: When You Were Young: Revisited: Clement’s Sample: Success<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Note: Not a hundred percent, but very very nearly so. I’ve been assured that Clement can play this song perfectly, but a few notes were missed here.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/enter sandman guitar.mp3\">Metallica: Enter Sandman: Clement’s Sample: Close Call<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Note: That solo’s a killer, but Clement, ya done good.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/foreplay long time guitar.mp3\">Boston: Foreplay Long Time: Clement’s Sample: Success<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Note: This is one I’m personally proud of Clement for completing. This song is not easy, ladies and gents.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/highway star guitar.mp3\">Deep Purple: Highway Star: Clement’s Sample: Success<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Note: Neither is this one.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/welcome home medium.mp3\">Coheed and Cambria: Welcome Home: Clement plays on Medium: Success<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Note: Wooooooooow!<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/flirtin with disaster.mp3\">Molly Hatchet: Flirtin With Disaster: Clement’s Sample: Success<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Note: Just polishing off the tough stuff, this guy Clement.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/down with the sickness guitar.mp3\">Disturbed: Down with the Sickness: Clement’s sample: Success<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Note: Wanna know the funny thing about this song? It’s easier than it sounds, even for the easy difficulty. This is one of those surprise songs that you can just get through the first time and not look back.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/eye of the tiger guitar.mp3\">Survivor: Eye of the Tiger: Clement’s Sample: Success<\/a> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/livin on a prayer guitar.mp3\">Bon Jovi: Livin on a Prayer: Clement’s Sample: Success<\/a> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/our truth guitar.mp3\">Lacuna Coil: Our Truth: Clement’s Sample: Success<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Note: This song sounds fun! I should, like, try it!<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/almost easy guitar\">Avenged Sevenfold: Almost Easy: Clement’s Sample: Close Call<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Whew, boy. This one was close. But ya did it, kid, and good on ya for that.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/don't fear the reaper guitar.mp3\">Blue Oyster Cult: Don’t Fear the Reaper: Clement’s Sample: Close Call<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Note: That solo… That’s not a nice solo. But you did pretty good, all told.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/dead on arrival guitar.mp3\">Fallout Boy: Dead on Arrival: Clement’s Sample: Success<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Note: This is a fast song, even on easy, but Clement does it good.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/ben's blitzkreig bop.mp3\">The Ramons: Blitzkreig Bop: Ben’s Sample: Success<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Note: Go ben! Definitely not bad for one who just recently got the game. Note that there is a little silence here, as Ben really did this sample from the beginning. And I’m talking, from when the game was loaded.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/life is beautiful guitar.mp3\">Sixx AM: Life is Beautiful: Clement’s Sample: Success<\/a> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/inside the fire guitar.mp3\">Disturbed: Inside the Fire: Clement’s Sample: Success<\/a> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/go your own way guitar.mp3\">Fleetwood Mac: Go Your Own Way: Clement’s Sample: Success<\/a> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/painkiller guitar.mp3\">Judice Priest: Painkiller: Clement’s Sample: Near Close Call<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Note: So Clement’s convinced he didn’t do well at this one, and OK, he missed quite a few notes. But the crowd weren’t really booing… that much… were they?<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/pinball wizard guitar.mp3\">The Who: Pinball Wizard: Clement’s Sample: Success<\/a> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/dont speak guitar.mp3\">No Doubt: Don’t Speak: Clement’s Sample: Success<\/a> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/push it.mp3\">Static X: Push it: Liam’s Sample: Success<\/a> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/you got another thing comin guitar.mp3\">Judice Priest: You Got Another Thing Comin: Clement’s Sample: Success<\/a> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/bounce guitar.mp3\">Cab: Bounce: Clement’s Sample: Success<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>note: I love this song. This is one of the twenty songs you get free when you buy Rock Band 2, and I have to say Harmonix made some fantastic choices in my mind.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/hands down guitar.mp3\">Dashboard Confessional: Hands Down: Clement’s Sample: Success<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Note: I seriously love this song as well, and to date have not finished it myself. But clement did, and I say more power to him. Nice work, Clement. Almost totally nailed this song.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/guitar pretty woman easy.mp3\">Roy Orbison: Pretty Woman: Liam’s Sample: Success<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Note: It should be noted that this is the original artist, but the recording is apparently remastered, as are all the songs in that track pack.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/guitar Dune Buggy easy.mp3\">Presidents of the United States: Dune Buggy: Liam’s Sample: Success<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Note: I still maintain that this is one of the weirdest bands ever. Check out these lyrics, along with Liam’s guitar-playing, of course.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/you got it guitar.mp3\">Roy Orbison: You Got It: Clement’s Sample: Success<\/a> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/guitar - Blitzkrieg Bop (easy).mp3\">The Ramons: Blitzkreig Bop, Liam’s Sample: Success<\/a> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/blue collar man guitar.mp3\">Stix: Blue Collar Man: Clement’s Sample: Success<\/a> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/red devil guitar.mp3\">Yngwie malmsteen: Red Devil: Clement’s Sample: Success<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Note: Woe. Seriously. This song be tough. It’s not the toughest, but this guy’s one monster of a guitar player, and it shows through a bit here. Good job, Clement, on doing well enough at this to keep it from Close Call status.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/she's a hottie guitar.mp3\">Toby Keith: She’s a Hottie: Clement’s Sample: Success<\/a> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/crushcrushcrush guitar.mp3\">Paramore: Crush Crush Crush: Ben’s Sample: Success<\/a> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/don't stop believing guitar.mp3\">Journey: Don’t Stop Believing: Clement’s Sample: Success<\/a> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/Yohandy master exploder expert guitar.mp3\">Tenacious D: Master Exploder: Expert Guitar: Yohandy’s Sample: Success<\/a> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/Yohandy the final countdown expert guitar.mp3\">Europe: The Final Countdown: Expert Guitar: Yohandy’s Sample: Success<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Note: I gotta give this Yohandy guy mad props, people. This guy really is a beast at this game, and these are two examples of just why that is. Neither song is easy, and yeah he messes up some, but he sure pulls it off in splendid fashion. Great stuff!<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/Yohandy jesus of suburbia expert guitar.mp3\">Greenday: Jesus of Suburbia: Played on Expert: Yohandy’s Sample: Success<\/a> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/Yohandy peacemaker expert guitar.mp3\">Greenday: Peacemaker: Played on Expert: Yohandy’s Sample: Success<\/a> <a href=samples\/rockband\/clement it's my life easy guitar.mp3\">Bon Jovi: It’s My Life: Clement’s Sample: Success<\/a> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/Yohandy all the small things FC expert guitar.mp3\">Blink182: All the Small Things: Played on Expert: Yohandy’s Sample: Success<\/a> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/Yohandy eye of the tiger expert guitar.mp3\">Survivor: Eye of the Tiger: Played on Expert: Yohandy’s sample: Success<\/a> <\/p>\n<h1>Bass Samples<\/h1>\n<p> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/enter sandman bass.mp3\">Metallica: Enter Sandman: Clement’s Sample: Success<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Note: The first bass sample! Why haven’t I done any? I honestly do not know.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/blitzkreig bop bass.mp3\">The Ramons: Blitzkreig Bop: Clement’s Sample: Expert: Success<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Note: Yeah, you read it right. Expert. Fast strumming mostly where this song is concerned, but still, a nice feather in the Clement cap.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/paranoid bass expert.mp3\">Black Sabbath: Paranoid: Played on Expert: Clement’s Sample: Success<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>note: Yeah, that link says expert. And he does really, really good. Wahoo for Clement!<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/heartbreaker bass.mp3\">Pat Bennetar: Heartbreaker: Clement’s Sample: Expert: Success<\/a> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/hit me with your best shot bass expert\">Pat Bennetar: Hit me With Your Best Shot: Clement’s Sample: Expert: Success<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Note: Gees, Clement really is obsessed with Pat Bennetar. So obsessed, in fact, that he belted out two samples of her on expert! Rock on!<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/Yohandy crazy train expert bass.mp3\">Black Sabbath: Crazy Train: Yohandy’s Sample played on Expert: Success<\/a> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/Orin Imagine FC Expert Bass.mp3\">John Lennon: Imagine: Orin’s Sample played on Expert: Success<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Note: If I haven’t shed light on this already, the herd of wild animals you hear at the end is Orin scoring the completion of 3 Rock Band 3 goals. Good stuff!<\/p>\n<h1>Keyboard Samples<\/h1>\n<p>Yeah, that’s right, folks. The era of Rock Band 3 has arrived, and so have the keyboard samples. Unless otherwise specified, these samples are played on expert Pro Keys, which is a new mode with the keyboard periferal in which you literally play the keyboard parts of the songs in question. The little sounds that remind you of a xylophon not being hit properly are there to indicate a missed key, and the star power sound pretty much sounds the same as the others in RB3. Other than that, just know that the folks playing these songs are, for all intents and purposes, actually playing these songs.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/Yohandy rainbow in the dark expert pro keys FC.mp3\">Dio: Rainbow in the Dark: Yohandy’s Sample: Success<\/a> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/Yohandy werewolves of london expert pro keys.mp3\">Werewolves of London: Yohandy’s Sample: Success<\/a> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/Yohandy Grenade expert pro keys FC.mp3\">Bruno Mars: Grenade: Yohandy’s Sample: Expert Pro mode: Total Success<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Note: First of all, this sample is very, very well done. You might say it wreaks of awesomeness. Secondly, I… I um… I really like this song.<\/p>\n<h1>Drum Samples<\/h1>\n<p> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/welcome%20home%20drums.mp3\">Coheed and Cambria: Welcome Home: success<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Posted by Clement.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/when%20you%20were%20young%20drums.mp3\">The Killers: When You Were Young: Success<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Posted by Clement.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/say%20it%20aint%20so%20drums.mp3\">Weezer: Say it Ain’t So: Success<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Posted by Clement.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/Dani%20California%20Drums.mp3\">Dani California: Clement’s Sample: Success<\/a> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/Creep%20Drums.mp3\">Radiohead: Creep: Clement’s Sample: Success<\/a> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/dead%20or%20alive%20drums.mp3\">Bon Jovi: Dead or Alive: Clement’s Sample: Success<\/a> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/green grass and high tides drums.mp3\">The Outlaws: Green Grass and High Tides: Clement’s Sample: Success<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Note: Trust me, this is a much harder song on guitar. If you haven’t checked out the guitar sample of this song yet, do so.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=samples\/rockband\/nightmare drums.mp3\">Crooked X: Nightmare: Clement’s Sample: Success<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Note: A fantastic drum performance of this song to add to his equally fantastic guitar work. Also, he reeeeeally works the drum fillers in this one. Check it out!<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/paranoyed drums.mp3\">Black Sabbath: Paranoyed: Clement’s Sample: Success<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Note: Again, a really great performance.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/master exploder drums.mp3\">Tenatious D: Master Exploder: Clement’s Sample: Success<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Note: Though Clement doesn’t utterly rock the house here, this sample deserves some commendation. It is, after all, pretty solidly fast.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/painkiller drums.mp3\">Judice Priest: Painkiller: Clement’s Sample: Spectacular Failure<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Note: Like woe, folks. This here sample is awesome. Yeah, even though Clement didn’t complete this one, he does totally awesomely for a good chunk of it, at least in my opinion. And this song is no slouch on any instrument.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/eye of the tiger drums.mp3\">Survivor: Eye of the Tiger: Clement’s Sample: Success<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Note: Hey, it’s an easy song, but it’s still cool! Go Clement!<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/painkiller drums complete.mp3\">Judice Priest: Painkiller Revisited: Clement’s Sample: Close Call<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Note: Well, the man did it. He did it, folks. He just barely came out of it alive, but he did it. Pat on the back, buddy.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/let there be rock drums.mp3\">AC\/DC: Let there be Rock: Clement’s Sample: Success<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Note: He missed the rock ending! He missed it! Ha ha ha… Er, that’s terrible!<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/don't speak drums.mp3\">No Doubt: Don’t Speak: Clement’s Sample: Success<\/a> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/mud on the tires drums.mp3\">Brad Paisley: Mud on the Tires: Clement’s Sample: Success<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Note: I personally believe Clement just recorded this one because I don’t have this song as of the time of this writing. He’s mean! Oh, and he does good too.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/you got another thing comin' drums.mp3\">Judice Priest: You’ve Got Another Thing Coming: Clement’s Sample: Success<\/a> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/gunpowder and lead drums.mp3\">Miranda Lambert: Gunpowder and Lead: Clement’s Sample: Success<\/a> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/you got it drums expert.mp3\">Roy Orbison: You Got It: Clement’s Sample: Playing on Expert: Success<\/a> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/indestructable drums.mp3\">Disturbed: Indestructable: Clement’s Sample: Success<\/a> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/yngwie malmsteen setlist.mp3\">Yngwie Malmsteen: Setlist of Two Songs: Clement’s Sample: Success<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Note: Oooo! A setlist! Pretty! Sure it’s only two songs, but Clement really rocks the drums on these, and we need some examples of how setlists work. Hurray!<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/TNT drums.mp3\">AC\/DC: TNT: Clement’s sample: Success<\/a> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/blue collar man drums.mp3\">Stix: Blue Collar Man: Clement’s Sample: Success<\/a> <\/p>\n<h1>Vocal Samples<\/h1>\n<p> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/dead or alive vocal.mp3\">Bon Jovi: Dead or Alive: Clement’s Sample: Success<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Note: Just a quick note here about star power for Rock Band singers. Clement successfully activates it once near the end of this song, and yes, you do have to shout into the mic during a nonsinging moment to do so. It’s quite a neat concept, and it works fairly well.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/master exploder vocals.mp3\">Tenatious D: Master Exploder: Clement’s Sample: Success<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Note: Yes, folks. Clement really, really can go that high. And with a sore throat too. Of course, I had no idea about the sore throat until I had already asked him to sing this song… Or did I?<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/down with the sickness vocals.mp3\">Disturbed: Down with the Sickness: Clement’s Sample: Success<\/a> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/livin on a prayer vocals.mp3\">Bon Jovi: Livin on a Prayer: Clement’s Sample: Success<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Note: Clement really loves this song, and you can tell.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/blitzkreig bop vocals.mp3\">The Ramons: Blitzkreig Bop: Clement’s Sample: Success<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Note: Ok, Clement, now breathe. Seriously, you uh, you reeeeeally get into this one. I don’t care what you say.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/don't fear the reaper vocals.mp3\">Blue Oyster Cult: Don’t Fear the Reaper: Clement’s Sample: Success<\/a> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/go your own way vocals.mp3\">Fleetwood Mac: Go Your Own Way: Clement’s Sample: Success<\/a> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/mud on the tires vocals.mp3\">Brad Paisley: Mud on the Tires: Clement’s Sample: Success<\/a> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/painkiller vocals.mp3\">Judice Priest: Painkiller: Played on Medium: Clement’s Sample: Success<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Note: I’ve just gotta say it. While Clement does really well in this sample, it’s downright hilarious as well. You simply must check this one out.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/killers mr brightside vocals.mp3\">The Killers: Mr. Brightside: Ben’s Sample: Success<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Note: Interesting thing about this one is that Ben has chosen to turn down the other tracks of the song almost as low as they can go. His aim is to be singing alone with the crowd.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/still alive vocals expert.mp3\">Glados: Still Alive: Played on Expert: Liam’s Sample: Success<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Note: Pay attention to this one. Liam tries to activate his star power in some pretty clever ways. Like uh, having a conversation with the computer that sings the song.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/hay poco rock n roll vocals.mp3\">Hay Poco Rock N Roll: Clement’s Sample: Success<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Note: This right here’s a song entirely in Spanish. But ya know something? Clement knows… a lot… of Spanish. So please, if you’re offended easily, pay no attention to the flurry of curses he hurls our way throughout the song. It’s not very nice, but that’s Clement.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/oh pretty woman vocals.mp3\">Roy Orbison: Pretty Woman: Clement’s Sample: Success<\/a> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/heartbreaker vocals\">Pat Bennetar: Heartbreaker: Clement’s Sample: Success<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Note: Yes, hearing Clement sing this song is truly as weird as you might think it is. And yet, he sings so beautifully!<\/a> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/disturbed indestructable vocals.mp3\">Disturbed: Indestructable: Ben’s Sample: Playing on Expert: Success<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Note: It seems as though Ben’s still learning the words to this one, but he still makes it through. This serves as proof that you don’t actually have to know what you’re singing to get through a song. It’s all about the tone, not the words.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/she's a hottie vocals.mp3\">Toby Keith: She’s a Hottie: Clement’s Sample: Success<\/a> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/social distortion ring of fire vocals success.mp3\">Social Distortion: Ring of Fire: Ben’s Sample: Playing on Expert: Success<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Note: Isn’t it funny how all of Ben’s imitations of American dudes sound the same? And how he always sings the guitar part, even though the dudes in question wouldn’t? I guess he can be forgiven for this one though, as the crowd does it too. Weirdos. Ah well. Silly Ben.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/foo fighters everlong vocals.mp3\">Foo Fighters: Everlong: Ben’s Sample: Playing on Expert: Success<\/a> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/acdc let there be rock vocals.mp3\">AC-DC Let There Be Rock: Track Pack Live Version: Ben’s Sample: Success<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Note: Perhaps the best vocal sample ever. Why? Cause it’s really long, you get to hear the longest Rock Band rock ending, and Ben just talks to you through most of it. Funny thing about live versions. There are these really long parts where the singer on stage just doesn’t sing. When you’re playing Rock Band, it’s just plain old fashioned freetime.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/don't stop believing expert vocals gold-starred.mp3\">Journey: Don’t Stop Believing, Clement’s Sample: Gold Starred<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Note: This one deserves special mention. It’s a freakin gold star performance. I mean, I knew Clement could sing like a canary, ya know, all high and really annoying and whatnot, but this is something special. Congratulations, Clement.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/avenged 7fold afterlife easy vocals.mp3\">Avenged 7fold: Afterlife<\/a> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/avenged 7fold almost easy expert vocals.mp3\">Avenged 7Fold: Almost Easy<\/a> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/avenged sevenfold critical acclaim vocals.mp3\">Avenged Sevenfold: Critical Acclaim<\/a> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/we are the champions vocals hard.mp3\">Queen: We are the Champions: Clement’s Sample: Success<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Note: There just has to be a note after this puppy. This is a spectacular performance. Clement really belts this out. His whole heart seems in it. And that truth and heart combined with the already wonderful song, and the crowd singing along, really make this wonderful. I’m not even going to make fun of the one time Clement’s note was really off, cause he put everything into this. Maybe it’s a proclamation, maybe not, but as far as this sample goes, Clement is the champion.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/crocodile rock vocals expert.mp3\">Elton John: Crocodile Rock: Clement’s Sample: Success<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Note: What was I thinking? Giving Clement compliments… I must have gone mad! Fortunately, there’s this sample of Crocodile Rock to give us all a harsh dose of reality. Whew!<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/vocals expert setlist.mp3\">Vocal Setlist: Tribute, Final Countdown, and the Gambler: Clement’s Sample: Success<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Note: And to further add to my belief that I was just suffering a bout of temporary insanity, we have Clement’s performances of Tenatious D’s Tribute, Europe’s the Final Countdown, and Kenny Rogers’s the Gambler for you. Tribute he almost fails, the ridiculous vocal stylings of Jack Black no real excuse, and the others… Well, you’ll hear. Listen!<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/disturbed down with the sickness expert vocals.mp3\">Disturbed: Down with the Sickness: Ben’s Sample: Success<\/a> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/liam Creepy Doll Easy.mp3\">Jonathon Colton: Creepy Doll: Liam’s Sample: Success<\/a>> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/liam Gay Bar Easy.mp3\">Electric Six: Gay Bar: Liam’s Sample: Success<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Note: These are the very first vocal samples of Rock Band 3. You’ll notice the slightly different crowd audio and star noises, as well as Liam’s improved pitch. Yeah, I’m almost certain the technology Harmonix claimed they put in which makes you sound better actually does exist. Cause ya know… Come on, people. This is Liam. Surely neither of these songs are shining examples of vocal artistry, but Liam’s pitch, particularly during Creepy Doll, seems nearly spot on, and, well, that’s just wrong. Proof, you say? OK, the other sample is Gay Bar. Enough said.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/clement bohemian rapsody expert.mp3\">Queen: Bohemian Rapsody: Clement’s Sample: Success<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Note: As you all know, I have mad respect for Clement’s ability to really belt out a tune. (See Queen’s “We Are the Champions).” And to a point, he belts this one out too. However, this sample serves not only as an example of Clement belting one out, it also serves as horrifying proof of the existence of the pitch-correction feature implimented in Rock Band 3. You see, ladies and germs, Clement doesn’t always sing the part he’s supposed to sing, and when it gets real bad, you can hear the technology very blatently auto tuning him in a desperate effort to get him back where he belongs. It’s both awesome, and a little scary. All in all, a normal Clement sample. Enjoy!<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/clement you give love a bad name expert.mp3\">Bon Jovi: You Give love a Bad Name: Clement’s Sample: Success<\/a> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/liam I Love Rock and Roll normal.mp3\">Jone Jet: I Love Rock and Roll: Liam’s Sample: Success<\/a> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/clement I love this bar hard vocals.mp3\">Toby Keith: I Love This Ba: Clement’s Sample: Success<\/a> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/liam still alive normal.mp3\">Glados: Still Alive: Liam’s Sample: Played on Medium: Success<\/a> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/liam portions for foxes easy.mp3\">Rilo Kiley: Portions for Foxes: Liam’s Sample: Success<\/a> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/clement it's my life expert vocals.mp3\">Bon Jovi: It’s My Life: Clement’s sample sung on expert: Success<\/a> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/bohemian rapsody expert vocals again with harmonies.mp3\">Queen: Bohemian Rapsody: Clement’s Sample: Playing on Expert and using harmonies: Success<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Note: Only one note is required for this sample. It’s waaaaaaay better than the first one. It’s also less funny, which actually makes me question whether it’s better at all. Uh-oh…<\/p>\n<h1>Voxtar Samples<\/h1>\n<p> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/voxtar dune buggy easy.mp3\">The Presidents of the United States: Dune Buggy: Playing on Easy: Liam’s Sample: Success<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Note: Introducing Voxtar, the awesome concept of playing the Rock Band guitar, and doing vocals at the same time. This one comes from Liam, and he does a pretty decent job, though there are a couple of stumbling moments in there. Enjoy!<\/p>\n<h1>Multiplayer Samples<\/h1>\n<p> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/all the small things full band.mp3\">Blink 182: All the Small Things: Full Online Band: Ben’s Sample: Success<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Note: Introducing the multiplayer section! What better way to kick it off than with a sample of a full band? I sure can’t think of one. Ben’s on vocals as this online band rocks out. Check it!<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"samples\/rockband\/Orin Yohandy Green day murder city.mp3\">Green Day: Murder City: Orin and Yohandy Multiplayer Sample: Success<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Note: Like woe! It’s one of them multiplayer sample things. Two dudes from the blind community, Orin and Yohandy, get together on this one, and rock the guitar and bass. In fact, you could say they murder them. It’s not perfect, but it sure is good.<\/p>\n<p>And that’s it for now. Check back every now and then, as more songs may pop up.
