Line 240:
*** Actually, some guitar parts are easier on the keyboard than guitar, because some things are easier to do with your fingers pointing down than pointing up (like the crazy solo part in Freebird). Other songs that have a lot of strumming on the same note are significantly harder, though, like Beast and the Harlot (still doable though).
*** Speaking of keyboards... Bass on the keyboard is easy enough. Try [[Evile|Thrasher]], or BYOB, or any song with fast strumming. Have fun trying to keep combo!
* [[Hundred-Percent100% Completion]]: Aside from getting all achievements/trophies (for 360/PS3) or all stars in Tour Mode (the closest to an official 100% completion in the game), many players strive to pass, 4-star, 5-star, gold star, or full combo an entire game (meaning all the on-disc songs for that game) on one instrument. Rock Band 2, being the most difficult, seems to get the most of this, with at least one person having Full Comboed the entire game [[Double Play|playing two instruments at once]]. No one person has yet Full Comboed the game on all instruments, though at least one person has managed 3 out of 4.
** And in RB3, there is a new band goal to hit every note in the 83 on-disc songs in the game. All of them. Thankfully, it only actually requires it be done on one chart per song.
* [[I Don't Know Mortal Kombat]]: Real life guitarists can still suck at the game on guitar. Here: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=btcvSWoQWV0 Rush bombs "Tom Sawyer" at 31%], while [[Jonathan Coulton]] And His Backing Band [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cAgutrkFjBQ struggle through "Still Alive"].

* [[Lighter and Softer]]: The whole point of a Lego spinoff is to let the kids play without exposing them to [[Sex, Drugs and Rock and Roll]].
** Though many of the Rock Band characters (plus, [[Iggy Pop]]) appear in the game in Lego form.
* [[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 [[PlayStation 3]] only), as well as a [[Vanilla Edition|Value Bundle]] with original [[Rock Band]] controllers.
