Here's why the drummer doesn't do anything in many of the fills: You get more points if Guitar, Bass, and Drums all use their overdrive at the same time. ALSO, it is sometimes better to not activate your overdrive immediately: you get more points sometimes by waiting to activate later. This is how the drummer communicates to the guitarist and the bassist whether he is going to activate there or not. By doing this the guitarist and the bassist know whether or not to use their overdrive. If the drummer plays notes during a fill, the drummer is saying "let's use our overdrive here." If the drummer does nothing during a fill, the drummer is saying "let's wait and use our overdrive later." It's interesting, but useful! And I'm the guitarist in this video, so you can trust what I'm saying.
Or, better, switch to static fills, and communicate over Skype. I say Skype because Discord wasn't widely used back then. It probably didn't even exist.
See, I'd give this a 4 or 5, but not the 6/5 rating it has. I'd say there's, like, one part that you're likely to fail on in the guitar chart (6:43), and it's short enough to just save up your star power* for. Meanwhile, drums have a much longer part that gets kind of hard to keep up with toward the end (7:34), and that's only 3/5. *yes, I know it's called overdrive / energy in the RB series, and I do _not_ care
+TheLightArcadeZ I didn't say anything about the hardest song. In my opinion this is the best song. But my opinion as well I don't like TTFAF the song itself
If my calculations and a related theory are correct, the guitar solo contains a whopping 1501 notes, based on the theory of 100 points for each note hit in a solo
Ah. The only role in this one where i'd be able to handle expert difficulty is the vocalist, i'd be more all over the place than the Black Star Dragon Balls if i attempted that solo as one of the other three
Lol yeah. Even the vocals are harder than you think. You have to be ON POINT to FC on vocals. I went into vocals underestimating the difficulty. Needless to say, I didn't do very well.
I understand the guitar solo being extremely difficult on Expert, Free Bird is the last main encore of Guitar Hero II and on MEDIUM that solo kicked my butt so badly i had to have made at least seventeen trips to multiple video game worlds with how many notes i kept missing
In older Guitar Heroes it would auto set the singer char for a girl/boy depending on the song In rock band you can choose what your band consists off of So you can make a girl sing heavy metal and a guy sing fucking pink fluffy unicorn if you have the balls to download it
U get the most points if everyone has their star power going so not doing anything in the fill signifies “don’t use ur star power yet” and when he does do something that saying “ok let’s use our star power here” it’s just a way for the whole band to communicate.
I don't blame the drummer for stopping. I just wish the game didn't throw those sections in because I feel like those fill sections break the flow, at least for the drums. Maybe not for the drummer, but as a listener, it's extremely jarring.
This was okay but im not even 3 minutes into this and I can barely watch. The drummer not doing anything for like 90% of the drum fills then plays nothing but the snare when one pops and they choose to play it up really ruins it.

+Matt L You are one amazing guitarist!!
Desire Thanks!
no, it doesn't ruin the flow, the other players still hear it normally.
that thing regularly kicked my butt in GH2 on MEDIUM! If i were trying on expert i'd be missing notes in the solo all over the planet

First half: this song is easy, why is this on Impossible difficulty?
Second half: Oh

When the singer is so good that she can do a deep manly voice
Why is everyone flaming the drummer for not playing the drum solos?
He waits for the other's star power for more points
5 mins of solos.
God I love this somg.
This song is the best guitar hero/rockband song alive!
Not really. But the HARDEST is Through the fire and flames by Dragonforce. (It's a DLC song)
+TheLightArcadeZ I didn't say anything about the hardest song. In my opinion this is the best song. But my opinion as well I don't like TTFAF the song itself
TheLightArcade That song is no where near close to the hardest song on rock band or guitar hero
This is definitely very memorable. So is TTFAF. But to me, the most memorable is GGAHT.
Hardest on disc songs
Holy shit! Imagine the feeling you get when you're able to fully play that solo without mistakes O.o My god that was sick! Sick job from everyone!
This song took me and my bro off guard when we where playing guitar hero...
I know..
If my calculations and a related theory are correct, the guitar solo contains a whopping 1501 notes, based on the theory of 100 points for each note hit in a solo
Some notes are doubled and are worth more than others

@@corbinselanne7990 I remember about 2 years ago how much a pain hammer ons were for me, but now I am here getting at least 80% on expert.
Why am I so happy that the guitarist is the Duke of gravity?
I'm so glad Harmonix added the option to not do the drum fills and just added the crash as a way to hit overdrive.
My cousin told me this was the hardest solo in the whole game. They made it look easy
Tell your cousin to either play highway star by deep purple🤣🤣
Harry do you copy? Harry what the heck is going on in there?
Loved that scene. Like if you know what I mean.
(for the drummer at the end)
3455 more to beat Hunnybee2's score!
...wow
Geometry Dash Freme omg a GD player here
*im so late*
TriHard
This song is just great..
amazing job getting this everyone.. and wth 1st try O_o
i love the bass
The BIRD.... it must be FREE!!!
I bet the guitarist' left hand is merked. Great job of you all!
You should see Green Grass on High Tides then, lmao
Really hard solo still though
Lucas Bent Andreassen Olse
That woman has got quite the voice
nice job no faults in this band :)
First half: Clayton Kershaw's regular season
Second half: Kershaw's postseason
old but gold
i heard this from kingsman
simply amazing
Play the GH2 version, it's the most fun to play. You'd guys probably FBFC that too but you can't, only bad thing about the old GHs
its about 2000% less accurate than any free bird chart I have ever played
i can play guitar on medium with 91% and 4 stars
***** do you have xbox360 and what is your gamertag
***** and have you got xboxlivegold yet or not
ok
***** i have changeed my gamertag to rb3 bass lover
lol the girl is singing so deep for some reason
+Manicmod
This song was originally using a guy as the singer, I don't understand why they switched it around.
i know i was just making a joke lol
In older Guitar Heroes it would auto set the singer char for a girl/boy depending on the song
In rock band you can choose what your band consists off of
So you can make a girl sing heavy metal and a guy sing fucking pink fluffy unicorn if you have the balls to download it
+Manicmod the same player did the vocals for Don't Fear the Reaper. Also had Bear in the group, but he was on guitar in that one.
sweetness
The scary part, only 19th.
Is... is that ninja Brian?
which other fbfcs u guys gonna go for now? or did u guys do it all? oh and whos all part of ERG?
wow
't was a simpler time.
@n00bhxX0r Beast and the Harlot, or perhaps Caught in a Mosh
In my opinion, it is rainbow in the dark or caught in a mosh
your all too good when this comes easy!
FREE BIRD!
Them MLG drum fills though..
And that was on your first try!
You'll do better next time. ^__^
i swear ERG (maybe KOX) did this before with bear on guitar...
Expert stream
so fucking fun
OH HOT DAMN
This, children, is why you always put the original song audio over the game audio
You forgot keys in your “full band”.
You can't play all 5 instruments in online
I remember this song of GTA San Andreas!
FGFBFC soon? which song will be hardest?
Damn harmonix made it too easy at the end with that long ass overdrive, that shit is difficult on GH
What rockband is this?
+Sergy Duran Rock Band 3
+MEXIPARROT thanks man
I think it's about 100x more impressive if you can do this in real life on guitar than if you can do it on Rock Band. I'd love to hear this live
whats a path?
DAT SCORE. LIKE 200K UNDER OPTIMAL.
1st try tho
Is this Rockband 3 or what game is it?
Bryan Brown Yes this is Rock Band 3
Bryan Brown no this is cod ww2
wheeeeeeeeeeeeee!
somewhat decent!
Le French canadien est la tabarnak !
Aww... this garbage is because of me. Really sorry guys. =(
Sesame Street Theme Song
Here's a case of "Great Song, made Boring to Play"
Seems unfortunately boring to play, which suck, cause Free Bird is a great song.
Birds of Prey week Big Bird from Sesame Street
Christmas
September
y dare a grl singin' dis
Simple Man
5:11 starts the longest solo ever
Have you seen Green Grass on High Tides? Its probably equally as long as that.
no have you ever heard of inna gada laveda (however you spell it) the whole song is a solo on top of another solo and the song is about 17 mins
HBO style
BOP SS edition
Big Bird
I hate when the drummer stops playing in the middle of the solo. It ruins it
i mean, you could mute the audio, play the original song and sync them up lol
Yes, it's stupid too. Leave The Overdrive for other songs, this is free bird!
Satat Maybe so, but it’s straight up FC suicide if he were to play in the fills, it’d ruin the flow even more.
U get the most points if everyone has their star power going so not doing anything in the fill signifies “don’t use ur star power yet” and when he does do something that saying “ok let’s use our star power here” it’s just a way for the whole band to communicate.

K
He does it to communicate when to tell the others to activate overdrive.
Female singer haha
Drummer is definately not a drummer in real life. Just rock band.
The Drummer is like a camper at Counterstrike - no risk at all at the drumm fills....... just mechanic... not like a musician
He does it to communicate when to tell the others to activate overdrive.
Yeah the drummer made it sound weird.
Way to ruin a solo
