''Rock Band'' was the original release, a [[Spiritual Successor]] to Guitar Hero 2. Differences from Guitar Hero 2 include all-black highway backgrounds, rectangular gems instead of round ones, the extensive use of original masters instead of covers; perhaps most important is the addition of vocals (with Harmonix using their experience developing [[Karaoke Revolution]] to good use) and drums, which join the pre-existing guitar and bass modes, allowing for a total of 4 players (bandmates) at once and expanding the number of ways to play from 1 to 3 (as the guitar and bass modes share similar gameplay).
''Rock Band 2'' was released a year later (2008), with significant upgrades to the often-criticized instruments - including the $300 Ion Drum Kit, which can also be used as a regular MIDI drumkit. Not to mention drum tutorials, a World Tour playable alone (or without needing to sing while you do), the ability to port over songs from Rock Band 1 for a small fee (on the 360 and [[

An expansion disc featuring the set-list from the ''AC/DC - Live at Donington'' concert DVD was also released (a must because AC/DC didn't want their songs online, or available outside of Wal-Mart, one of their sponsors). Track Packs containing otherwise downloadable songs alongside, more recently, timed exclusive songs included as an incentive to purchase are also available.
Line 42 ⟶ 41:
Between all of the games (all of which besides the Beatles can be exported to the latest game) and the $2 a la carte downloads (and slightly discounted packs), there are '''[[wikipedia:Complete list of downloadable songs for the Rock Band series|over 3500]]''' songs available to be played in Rock Band 3. Since most songs can be played on at least 4 instruments, there are [[Memetic Mutation|over 9000]] "levels" in this game (each of which can be played in any of four different difficulties), and while a few of them are repetitive (drums and bass mostly) and\or have long rests (keyboard and vocals mostly), the vast majority are a lot of fun to play and listen to. While the cost of DLC makes buying all of them prohibitive in practice, there are certainly a lot of options available when it comes to purchasing songs, with new ones hitting the store every Tuesday.
{{tropenamer}}
* [[Big Rock Ending]]: Charted as a [[Button Mashing]] part. The first game got a little carried away with these, placing them on every song that could even remotely qualify, and musically ''adding'' them into many of the covers that didn't (and even a few master tracks!). Also, the AC/DC pack has some ridiculously long "BRE"s, but those ones are justified.
* [[Bladder of Steel]]: This what has to be the biggest modern example this side of MMOs. We're talking over ''six hours'' without failing or pausing. The songs go in ascending order of difficulty as well, so you're probably already tired out by the time you get to [[That One Boss|Visions, Panic Attack, Painkiller, etc.]], making failure even more likely.
{{tropelist}}
* [[And Your Reward Is Clothes]]: And instruments, and vehicles. In the earlier RB games, you earned cash per song with which you could buy stuff; in RB3, you earn clothes and instruments from passing "goals" listed in the shops and detailed in the "My Goals" menu. Annoyingly, a few of the clothes in RB2 are only unlockable in 3 through much more difficult (and\or controller-requiring) means.
* [[A Good Name for a Rock Band]]: Just take a look at the leader boards on-line, you'll find scads of them. Or if you want silly names, there's always the random ones the game generates.
Line 67 ⟶ 64:
*** Similarly, any song you're playing will rewind itself a bit after you exit the Pause menu, which means you can continue without [[Serious Business|disrupting your score]] and [[Rage Quit|flipping out]].
* [[April Fools' Day]]: In 2012, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ueS7rbHqo_k&feature=player_embedded Rock Band Board Game].
** If one wants to try and play it, the game board can be found [https://web.archive.org/web/20120906140923/http://www.rockband.com/content-assets/2012/03/boardgamePrintable.jpg here].
* [[Artifact Title]]: Arguably, now that the series is focusing on so many different genres of music, although the devs have claimed the title refers to the common lead-bass-drums-vocals ensemble that most rock bands use and not rock music in particular. And, for what it's worth, the vast majority of the series' music library is made up of rock songs.
* [[Audience Participation Song]]: On most of the on-disc songs, as well as a few DLC (such as the Best of The Who pack, George Thorogood's seminal Bad to the Bone, and The Cult's She Sells Sanctuary, as well as others), there's an additional audio track of a crowd singing along with key parts of the song.
Line 118 ⟶ 115:
*** [[Funny Moments|And it's got]] [[My Real Daddy|a higher rating]].
** Special mention to the original game's "Train Kept a Rollin'" which is specifically noted as a cover of Aerosmith's cover of the song.
** Mostly averted by the Rock Band Network, where covers of public domain songs are allowed, but only if it's not a cover of an existing arrangement. This allows for classical pieces [https://web.archive.org/web/20100612143250/http://www.rockband.com/music/artists/Paul_Henry_Smith_%26_The_Fauxharmonic_Orchestra as done by Paul Henry Smith & The Fauxharmonic Orchestra], [https://web.archive.org/web/20121021090651/http://www.rockband.com/songs/UGC_5002361 The Itsy-Bitsy Spider], and more. One exception to this arrangement--sort of--is Jerry Naylor, who covered Buddy Holly & The Crickets' [https://web.archive.org/web/20121020165943/http://www.rockband.com/songs/UGC_5009067 Not Fade Away], since Jerry Naylor was a vocalist for The Crickets. His cover of [https://web.archive.org/web/20121020151235/http://www.rockband.com/songs/UGC_5008456 Real Wild Child] is also available, although technically the Crickets' version was also a cover. (Further adding to the confusion: Everlife's cover of Real Wild Child is also available on Lego Rock Band.)
* [[Damn You, Muscle Memory!]]: Sight-reading [[Megadeth]]'s ''Peace Sells... But Who's Buying?'' album on Rock Band 2 on Guitar-Expert. You will end up conditioning yourself to use overdrive the second blue comes down the highway. Then you'll hit "Bad Omen"'s second solo and full-combo it. And then you'll hit "Bad Omen"'s ''[[That One Attack|Third Solo]]'' and fail because you wasted your overdrive on the laughably easy second solo.
** This also screwed up a lot of Guitar Hero 2 players when "Hangar 18" came out for Rock Band; the RB chart is quite different from the [[GH 2]] version.
Line 148 ⟶ 145:
** At least one person has [[Flawless Victory|Full Comboed]] Rock Band 2 (considered the hardest game in the series) playing guitar and singing at the same time.
* [[Downloadable Content]]: If each song is a pound, there's over a ton of it.
** Just to provide perspective, Harmonix fully expected there to be well over '''one thousand''' songs playable in the ''Rock Band'' franchise by 2009's end, and [https://web.archive.org/web/20100211164455/http://www.rockband.com/forums/showthread.php?t=174116 they met that goal on Nov. 25.] ''The Beatles'' has its own store, too, making it the first band-centric game with DLC.
*** With Rock Band 3's release, combined with all previous games and DLC and the RB Network, Harmonix expects 2000 songs by the end of 2010 to be available. They're meeting '''that''' goal on October 12th!
** Not to mention with Rock Band Network, more and more [[Downloadable Content]] is available on a daily basis. Day One of RBN provided over a hundred new songs for people to download. And the RBN has updated with more songs ''every day since''.
Line 155 ⟶ 152:
*** [[Serial Escalation|And it's incomplete]], considering the songs that came out after this photo was taken.
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jil7OnrpRmc Here we go again].
* [[Drop
* [[Dueling Games]]: with ''[[Guitar Hero]]''. ''RB3'''s "realistic instruments" implementation is dueling with ''[[Power Gig]]''.
** And winning ''handily'', thanks to how [[They Just Didn't Care|painfully]] [[So Okay It's Average|mediocre]] ''[[Power Gig]]'' is.
Line 194 ⟶ 191:
*** Songs with reversed red and yellow are actually charted like that to AVERT [[Fake Difficulty]]. A real kit has the hi-hat to the left (if you're right handed) of the snare, and doing a pattern like Run to the Hills or Everlong with a constant roll on the hi-hat means that both hands are usually to the left of the snare, with one going to the right to hit the snare. If the red and yellow weren't reversed, you'd have to lead with your weak hand, making any song with that kind of pattern stupidly difficult and awkward.
**** And yet this makes it much more evident on songs that place similar hi-hat runs on the yellow pad. Additionally, anyone with an ION Rocker more likely than not has the yellow cymbal positioned to the left or above the red snare pad so that they can do such patterns on a whim. Rock Band 3's Pro Mode ignores the so-called "Disco Flip" if a yellow cymbal is present, keeping the hi-hat (and hi tom) on yellow instead of allowing it to be on red.
** You are penalized more for missing a Kick Bass note or a snare note than any other note (including when the hi-hat and snare are flipped like Run to the Hills and Everlong). "Miss" includes [[Captain Obvious|actually missing the note]] in addition to playing a non-existent note. (incidentally enough, knowledge of this actually makes [[That One Boss/Rhythm Game|Visions]] [[Subverted Trope|a lot easier to manage]].)
*** Additionally, if you accidentally hit one note out of order in a pair of quick non-simultaneous notes on different surfaces, you get penalized for missing the first of the two. This does get carried over to [[Guitar Hero]] when they implement drums, too.
*** On this tangent, Solo Tapping on Guitar also has this bit of fake difficulty. It's probably easier to illustrate the point than to explain it, so let's assume you have a yellow note in a solo. If you tap blue or orange on the shredboard (or have a shredboard fret held down when you press blue or orange on the lower frets), it counts as a miss and combo break. Fair enough. If you tap Green or Red, which are BELOW Yellow, it ALSO counts as a miss and combo break, even if there is a smaller (HOPO) green or red note immediately after the yellow note. Upside? you don't HAVE to release higher frets for single-fret notes during solos when tapping them. [[Guide Dang It|Oh, and neither the game nor the manual ever tells you any of this]], making some songs much harder than they should be (Especially those with fast multi-fret solos - Constant Motion and Satch Boogie stand out in this respect, as neither one's fast solo runs can be Overdrive-bluffed)
Line 220 ⟶ 217:
*** However, the Limited Edition of The Beatles: Rock Band included a metal kick pedal for the drums.
*** The Rock Band 2 drums also put a metal plate on the pedal.
** [[
** The last two DLC released for ''Unplugged'', Sex Type Thing and Constant Motion, have the potential to delete the rest of your DLC if you download them. Buyer beware, indeed.
* [[Game Mod]]: Mostly hardware adjustments for the drums. Less necessary now that better instrument controllers are available, but sites like [https://web.archive.org/web/20111113211817/http://www.area51moto.com/mega/ MegaPedal] offer aluminum replacements, and then there is the more luxurious designs, like an actual kick pedal augmented with magnetic contacts...
** In a somewhat more traditional example, the Rock Band Network will allow users to submit their own songs for review to be made available for downloadable purchase. This requires a multitrack master of the recording and for the user to chart the song's notes himself. Oh, and the rights to do so, which can be harder than actually charting the song...
** "Jukebox" mode. Turn off the crowd sounds, enable no-fail and performance modes, and select vocals. Then just pick any song that you would like to listen to without fear of the game punting you out for losing.
Line 249 ⟶ 246:
* [[I Know Mortal Kombat]]: The game guitar won't help much for real guitar. Also, even on Expert, one can be partially off-key with their vocals, and the octave doesn't matter at all.
** Quite possibly [[Averted]] with the drums, especially if you can play on expert. Don't expect it to help much beyond a primer for actual drums, but that's a start.
*** In a bizarre mix of real and fake, the game can be played [https://web.archive.org/web/20110408131953/http://www.rockband.com/forums/showthread.php?t=56287
** Interestingly, the Rock Band website is starting a [https://web.archive.org/web/20100125164442/http://www.rockband.com/zine/category/berklee series of articles] intended to teach people how to play real life instruments. As well as [https://web.archive.org/web/20100211103010/http://www.rockband.com/zine/berklee a section] full of links to online music courses at the Berklee College of Music.
** What with the Pro mode to be introduced with RB3...
*** The biggest difference between playing Rock Band and a real instrument, is that while Pro Mode can help to teach you how to sightread like a boss, it won't teach you actual musical theory. It's the difference between being able to read and pronounce a word, and knowing what that word ''means.''
Line 280 ⟶ 277:
* [[Limited Special Collectors' Ultimate Edition]]: So far:
** ''[[Rock Band]] 2'' shipped with a special edition bundle with enhanced instrument controllers, including a guitar controller with much more quiet fret buttons and a camera and microphone to make calibration easier, and a drum kit with a sturdier kick pedal.
** ''[[The Beatles]]: [[Rock Band]]'' had a special edition bundle with Beatle-themed instruments, including a guitar shaped like Paul McCartney's Höfner_500/1 bass, with instrument peripherals modelled after John Lennon's Rickenbacker 325 and George Harrison's Gretsch Duo Jet sold separately. The game is also sold as a Singstar bundle with two microphones (for the [[
** ''[[Green Day]]: [[Rock Band]]'' was released in the States as both a standard edition as well as a 'Plus' edition at $10 extra, which allows players to transfer all the songs in the game to other [[Rock Band]] titles for free, and comes with all previously released [[Green Day]] [[Downloadable Content]].
* [[Lost Forever]]:
Line 307 ⟶ 304:
* [[Milking the Giant Cow]]: Any character acting as the lead singer while using the Metal-attitude responses tends to do this fairly frequently.
* [[Mood Whiplash]]: Likely in any Party Shuffle if the player(s) have given high reviews to a wide varity of music. For example, you can get a setlist starting with [[Neil Cicierega|The Ultimate Showdown (of Ultimate Destiny)]], followed up by [[Fleetwood Mac|Landslide]], then topped off with [[Megadeth|Hangar 18]].
* [[Multi Platform]]: For the best results you'd better own an Xbox 360 or [[
** Solely Xbox 360 if you want to take full advantage of the Rock Band Network, though. It's obvious which platform Harmonix prefers (or maybe it's just obvious which platform doesn't have an equivalent to XNA, the system that allows Xbox users to submit songs in the first place), even if people don't like to admit it.
*** Due to license agreements with Sony, the [[
* [[Mission Pack Sequel]]: Just about every disc release for the series can be considered one, especially in light of all the improvements [[Rock Band]] 3 adds to the platform. In fact, Harmonix deliberately chose to break their annual release cycle so they could perfect everything for [[Rock Band]] 3.
** As far as the numbered games go, [[Rock Band]] 2 can be considered a particularly blatant [[Mission Pack Sequel]], for including almost all the content from the original game (specifically the custom clothes and stages, and even some of the events are copy-pasted with a small alteration), with a modest interface change to make browsing through song menus easier. The only noticeable changes in actual gameplay are the drummers being able to have 8 velocity-sensitive surfaces instead of 5 surfaces, the drummers can get solos now, and the bassist has a unique effect ("Distortion" which replaces "Echo")
Line 322 ⟶ 319:
** "Photograph" by [[Nickelback]] and "Photograph" by [[Def Leppard]] are both available as DLC.
* [[Nintendo Hard]]: Getting all the achievements\trophies in Lego Rock Band requires a great deal of skill, thanks mostly to The Final Countdown solo. The Beatles game has a few challenges to get [[Flawless Victory|100%]], on [[Harder Than Hard|Expert]], on ''some of the hardest charts of the game''. In the case of guitar, you also need to do the hammer-ons\pull-offs properly; one strum where you don't need to and it's all a waste. The Green Day game is also like this.
** [https://web.archive.org/web/20100815050203/http://ps3.ign.com/dor/objects/28566/rock-band-3/videos/e310_rb3_inv_061610.html Pro Guitar]. Hope you like numbers!
*** The "Obsessive Compulsive" goal in 3, which requires you to full-combo ''every song in the game on Expert''. Good luck.
** Beatles Rock Band has an achievement for a perfect playing of Ringo's only drum solo in the band's career, just after the beginning of "The End". As if that's not bad enough, there's one for finishing all the Beatle Beats training tracks, the last of which is... THE DRUM SOLO FROM "THE END".
* [[No Export for You]]: The huge DLC sale for [[
** Rock Band 2 never got released in Australia. RB1 only came out in Australia and New Zealand more than a year after its original release. And given that you need an original copy of RB2 to export the tracks from that game to RB3... Aussies can only access the nine bonus tracks from that game. Let's just say the importers are doing a roaring trade on that game with those down under. And that was the one game with studio AC/DC track...
*** There's still the ''AC/DC Live'' Track Pack though.
Line 387 ⟶ 384:
** Players also have the option to turn off the note track that tells them what to do (meaning you must play from memory). You also can turn off the master track's vocals (so your voice is the only one you hear), and you have to play ''entirely'' from memory.
**** If you can do this as a band, go on tour as a real gig, and pick up your crowning moment of awesome on the way.
* [[Sensory Abuse]]: The thankfully patched glitch on ''Rock Band 3'' for the [[
** On the other hand, ''RB3'''s music video venues can be unforgivingly blinding at times, even if you have the lights on in the room.
* [[Sequel Difficulty Drop]]: ''2'' added No Fail mode, but nothing can be saved while it's on. ''3'' has a stricter crowd meter, but almost everything can be done with No Fail off (most goals now revolve around getting a certain number of stars instead of survival).
Line 418 ⟶ 415:
*** The filter seems to be a bit hit-and-miss, though - "Uncle John's Band" by [[The Grateful Dead]] was playable in LEGO Rock Band, lyrics with the word Goddamn in them and all.
* [[Take That/Video Games|Take That]]:
** When Harmonix was developing the Rock Band Network, they code-named it "Rock Band: [[Nickelback]]" specifically to divert press attention (both have the same acronym: RBN). [[Funny Aneurysm Moment|It became less funny]] when [https://web.archive.org/web/20120501054554/http://www.rockband.com/forums/showthread.php?t=194216 they actually put Nickelback in the DLC store].
** Not so much a Take That as much as simply a cheeky move, [http://blog.us.playstation.com/2010/09/17/psn-exclusive-rock-band-dlc-sale-next-week/ Harmonix announced a 50% off sale for the PS3] (hopefully to counter the arguments for their apparent 360 favoritism). Amusingly these were made-up entirely of albums and packs containing songs that had been announced for Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock along with several singles<ref>[[REM]]'s "''Losing My Religion''", [[Flyleaf]]'s "''Again''", [[Avenged Sevenfold]]'s "''Bat Country''", [[Anberlin]]'s "''Feel Good Drag''", [[Stone Temple Pilots]]' "''Interstate Love Song''", and a cover of [[The Runaways]]' "''Cherry Bomb''" (the version on WoR is a re-recording) to name only the singles</ref> as though to say "Look at the size of our library". Some of these packs were purely in response to Warriors of Rock's setlist:
{{quote|They have "[[Jane's Addiction|Been Caught Stealing]]?" Well, we have that on-disc, and the ''Nothing’s Shocking'' album, too.
They have three [[Megadeth]] songs, well we have ''Rust In Peace'' which contains one of them.
They have "[[Rush|2112]]"? We have ''Moving Pictures''. All of it.
They have "[[Pantera|I'm Broken]]", we got ''The Great Southern Trendkill.''
They have "[[Foo Fighters|No Way Back]]"? Well, WE have so many packs of theirs (and an entire album) that we're going to offer our latest one (at the time, it was Pack 03). }}
** Rock Band 3 ''and'' [[Guitar Hero]]: Warriors of Rock both have Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody. So what do the Harmonix devs put in to put highlight on the fact that they have Vocal Harmonies? A goal called "Bohemian ''As Intended''", unlocked by playing in a band of at least four of the game's capacity of seven players (exactly the sum capacity of players for GH:WoR), along with further special goals that can ''only'' be attained by ''all three'' parts being done 100% perfectly. Only a very few songs get special goals like this in RB3 (whereas they are extremely common in Guitar Hero), making the choice of this song getting them a fairly clear Take That.
Line 429 ⟶ 426:
* [[Terrible Interviewees Montage]]: The start of Lego Rock Band's tour mode.
* [[The Theme Park Version]]: ''Lego Rock Band'', though besides having an easier difficulty setting and the songs being a bit easier on average, the gameplay mechanics are all the same as ''Rock Band 2''.
* [[Took a Level
** However, Texas Flood (from the original ''[[Guitar Hero]]'') is now much easier (especially at the solo) due to the much better hammer-on/pull-off system, though still pretty difficult.
** Don't forget Kansas' Carry On Wayward Son, which was in the 2nd easiest tier in ''[[Guitar Hero]] II'', but the 2nd ''hardest'' tier in this.
** The addition of the drums in Science Genius Girl from Karaoke Revolution took a reasonably easy vocal song and turned it into [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_9Q5ii1-m0Y the most badass drum chart ever].
** Many of the Freezepop songs themselves [[Took a Level

* [[Trrrilling Rrrs]]: in Oye Mi Amor, there's one of these with no word attached to it, charted "rrr".
Line 453 ⟶ 450:
* [[Viewers Are Geniuses|Players Are Geniuses]]: Rock Band 3 has no tutorial except for pro guitar, probably because most people just dive in anyway. It does have trainers for drums, pro keys, and pro guitar, and practice mode for all instruments.
* [[Virtual Paper Doll]]
* [["Wake
* [[We Sell Everything]]: The Rock Band Store, to some people's annoyment about what a game called '''''Rock''' Band'' should entail. Seriously, if there's not even one song genre (or even just one SONG) listed that you like, you're just trying to be offended at that point.
** Their store on the web used to sell quite a lot of things you wouldn't expect to, including figurines of the characters you created, as well as tee-shirts, mousepads and coffeemugs of your bands. With the new site revamp, the ability to take new pictures of your Rock Band 2 band was removed, although existing pictures are still there. No word on a Rock Band 3 equivalent for this, though.
