Dream Theater - Panic Attack (Expert+)

Couple of friends and I put this together, well, it was mainly them, lol, but I made teh fricken CD Label for FoFiX so that counts
~READ THIS BEFORE COMMENTING~
So, since I keep receiving an extremely high amount of unintelligent comments and questions, allow me to clarify some things:
1.) Rock Band released a free trial of "Audition Mode", Audition Mode is basically what song writers would use to review their charted songs before releasing them onto the "Rock Band Network", the Rock Band Network, is basically where artists can sign up for 100 dollars a year, and be able to chart out their own songs for Rock Band and release them to the world if Rock Band has not already asked for permission
2.) With this free 1 year trial, most people used this as a way to be able to play Custom Songs on Rock Band 2, instead of really signing up to get songs up on Rock Band. Audition Mode has a built in "Autoplay" feature, meaning every note will be hit automatically, it's much different than the "Bot" system in Guitar Hero 3, "Bots" can miss notes if they're too much for it to handle, but normally, it'd have to be extremely ridiculous for it to miss, "Autoplay" will never miss a note, no matter how fast it is
3.) This video presents the Rock Band 2 chart of Panic Attack by Dream Theater with a little twist from my friends and I, for those of you who are n00bs and are not aware, all of the Rock Band on disk songs have been ripped from the game, and the .mid files were leaked along with their song file. A .mid file is a file that contains the notes you see you have to hit in the game
4.) After obtaining these ripped files, I opened the isolated drum master track, meaning I was able to hear the drum line of the song all by itself with nothing else to interfere
5.) I then proceeded to make the Expert chart of the song an Expert+ chart of the song, for those n00bs who don't realize this, Rock Band undercharts everything so it's playable with one pedal, so if you're a righty, all of the left pedal hits in a song are gone, if you're a lefty, all of the right pedal hits in a song are gone
6.) The program used to edit/make charts is called Feedback, there are other programs out there such as Editor on Fire, Reaper, chartEdit, etc...
7.) We simply added the left base pedal (or right base pedal if you're a lefty) into the spots they undercharted for the Expert chart
8.) After finishing that, we released it for everyone who has two pedals to enjoy the Expert+ version of Panic Attack by Dream Theater
I hope this answers every ones questions/curiosity, no more stupid questions please, I've explained about everything you need to know, thank you

[@zacheryhull4692]

Heal toe technique for days!

[@XxAngiexXRPI]

yesh Drumming is extremely difficult and tiring. It works out the entire body making drummers use crap loads of stamina, which is why often times drummers are exhausted after playing and get sweaty. It's pretty much a work out.

[@joshuahart153]

This is also one of the hardest drum songs in the game. Portnoy's a beast.

No you didn’t.

Long time no talk buddy! Had to stop by this video and other customs because i love the drum tracks.

[@austiniscoolduh]

this song is impossible to 100% without a double bass. prove me wrong.

[@guillie]

There's something called "Practice Mode"

[@austiniscoolduh]

FugalFive 4798 well you still need a double bass pedal to do it in practice mode... haha

[@jacobm92]

if you dont suck at footwork you can do some "double bass" parts with just one foot, the parts with constant double bass you cant though. plus this is expert+, you can 100 on expert with only one foot

[@TheBfutgreg]

5:44 favorite part of the actual song....just killing that chromatic Bond-esque melody with the full band Imagine if the Rock Band games with keyboards did a DT song....peak difficulty there with Rudess involved

[@stephenpeterson7366]

on the backs of angels

[@uncommon_shadow2742]

The more I realize we don't need Visions by Abnormality into the game because Panic Attack by Dream Theater is just as rewarding as Visions by Abnormality

[@uncommon_shadow2742]

People with ankle problems trying to FC this song on drums are gonna have a hard time with this version of the song. The arthritis is real right now.

[@benpark69]

i love watching these kinds of vids, especially the drummer, n wonder, ho... wha..... uh.... HOW DA HERR?!?!

[@tw1st3dgames]

If there is someone singing this (and it sounds like there is) they've got quite a voice. Also, nice job on the track.

[@AllHopesLost123]

awesome dude i love this song

[@AmsterdamHCH]

this is sick!

[@AnonymityIx]

Holy shit I main guitar but that drummer gets all the respect here. That looks intense

[@KkahluaHero]

@Kazamuru this is a feature on Rock Band called Audition Mode, it is not normal game play and every instrument in this video is being autoplayed, or a bot is another term, in Audition Mode you can disable Drum Fills which also disables Overdrive, this is just a preview of my Expert+ chart for Panic Attack, this is not a run or anything, just a preview video

[@ggrant4569]

1:37 HOW

[@jasonubalde]

you are very awesome dude! i can even survive the first 3 minutes! lol

[@KkahluaHero]

omg, I was about to burst until I saw you were just joking, wooooooooo, god, yeah thanks, was like just updated the description, I was seriously about to blow up lol

[@chrisgreen8256]

killed it.

[@RHCPFL3A]

Amazing. Thanks for the PM ;)

[@KkahluaHero]

LOL! finally something good came out of this argument xD

[@KkahluaHero]

idk why you would comment on that, because if you read the title, I only charted Expert+, if you knew what Expert+ was, you'd know that means "double bass" instead of just one pedal, meaning I did not look over anything else BUT the double bass ... if there's a missing snare go blame Harmonix, not me

[@KkahluaHero]

I'd relax if society wasn't so stupid, I hate it when people post comments without any assumptions or reading of the description that I typed out specifically for the purpose of reading which will inform people which will prevent stupid questions, but it doesn't work

[@sk84uhlivin1]

How I would KILL to play this chart.

[@KkahluaHero]

well they're bots, and bots can't activate overdrive

[@Thegreatphreys]

You know, I actually thought they were, but I don't care it's cool.

[@KkahluaHero]

read the description now please, I just updated it and it should answer everything for you

[@JDSDaGR81]

@tmb5293 The lack of the use of star power by the bot eliminates any ability to get a band multiplier, which is essential for getting 5*/5G* in Rock Band.

omg🤯

[@KkahluaHero]

@Kazamuru lol nothing's off, I just edited in the audio track and took out the game track then uploaded :P you can't unlock this cause it's custom, you can download it, there's download links in the description, but Audition Mode costs 100 bucks a year, but you can always play it on Frets on Fire :)

[@KkahluaHero]

if you didn't already know, there's a messed up bass pedal in the song as well, not my doing, Harmonix fucked that up, it's supposed to be a Blue note and a Kick put together, but you have to hit the Blue first and the Kick right after to hit it, Harmonix fucks up more than you'd know, they're just humans like you and I

[@SailorNatsu10]

Guitar: Duke Drums: Quentin Vocals: Sir Thomas Bass: Penelope

[@MW2zeppelinfan331]

That fucking bass though.

[@XxAngiexXRPI]

I know, this is one of my favorite songs because of that! I LOVE it when the BASS gets to go crazy and really be one of the main parts of the song.

[@bungiejumper765]

You'd think that if they took the time to add in all the extra bass pedals left out normally, they'd also fix all the missed notes that Harmonix didn't put in. Well, I would. :) either way, kind of fun to watch to see what Portnoy does in the song, really shows how crazy it is.

[@suffhunter23]

AAAAAAAAAAA OK. it's perfect, ty :)

[@austinlincoln3414]

dream theater and expert + is redundant Lol

[@advancedpwng]

@KkahluaHero actually yes, Harmonix want all songs to be FCable with one foot. there are 16th and even 32th bass kicks in Rock Band, which can count as double bass kicks. even so, its still possible to hit them with one pedal cuz of the hit window, although its very tough to pull off...

[@wolfstars20]

My Rock Band 2 Panic Attack video took me 7 minutes, 36 seconds, That's how long it took me to record

[@Testify087]

This is definitely the hardest song In the game

[@jonathanvaknin8760]

This should be a boss battle song..

[@XxAngiexXRPI]

I know right? especially since it'd fit into almost any badass Boss Battle since the whole point is them trying to kill you, that's bound to make the person fighting the boss feel scared/ terrified on the inside. Making this fit perfectly.

[@Forbeszy1]

how would you do the drum part? i can't even get the kick pedal part on hard... is there like a pedal that you can get that has the double kick or something? be a little easier.

[@pathogenX69]

Yes i have made many typo's before all the time actually I am just sick of people boasting bullshit over the internet.

[@bleh151]

Gosh, I didn't know dream theater can play rock band too

[@ducklingducks5902]

in this song, the only badass instrument is the BASS

[@godkinghell15]

Yea ik right it's kinda satisfying to hear a bass guitar gets a spotlight

[@KkahluaHero]

LOL thanks, you saw? Ya, thanks, making labels is fun and I want Megalight users to have a nice label :P

[@RainbowNoms]

Hey look, it's a song about me.

[@realdiamondplays]

RainbowNoms Me too but then you also have Metallica's Nothing Else Matters

[@KkahluaHero]

yes they did chart the keyboard solo to guitar on this song

[@shiningarmor2838]

I did this with a real drum kit after I broke my rock band one

[@MofoMan2000]

If this were on Rock Band Network... Shut the fuck up and take my money. lol

[@AJARyan-yn2uv]

It's in Rock Band 2.

[@MofoMan2000]

Andrew Ryan not a 2x bass pedal version

[@AJARyan-yn2uv]

Will Fowler No but it's still a fun song.

[@zilttsep6273]

This is not an accurate chart though. It is still missing a large amount of bass notes.

[@MofoMan2000]

By all means make a better one. Even so, this is a big improvement.

[@Opethfan79]

I want this game back. When are they going to make another??? So much fun. Love this song but I can't play it at expert :( haha

[@aguahero9]

+Riderdude25 came out tuesday lol

[@michaelellis2313]

Its a cool chart, I know it was a bot on autoplay because it doesn't activate the star power

[@reach17-CH]

4:47 Kills me every time...

[@thatguyfromaylmer]

@tmb5293 Despite his response, I believe the answer you were looking for is the fact that the bot can't use overdrive hence the reason why it only got 4 stars. It's all about the points and since there was no OD to boost the multipliers they didn't get enough points for 5 stars let alone 5 gold stars. Does that answer your question?

[@Yorushima]

Nevermind, after sifting through the comments briefly (and seeing some heated arguments) it appears overdrive is required to get 5 stars. I apologize for the time it took you to read this. Really, sorry, I mean it.

[@milin97]

Old & cool ROCK BAND 2 *¬*

[@MyCoolboy17]

@KkahluaHero me to I love them, and rock band is getting a new dream theater song either next week or the week after

[@Carroarmato0]

RSI ftw!

[@gamergoose4728]

They need some credit for this wtf bro! That's not an easy song to play and they have ×4 star power the whole time wtf this shit is crazy!!!

[@advancedpwng]

@bgg22bdrtyg rockband charted this song without extra bass kicks cuz i think they want to make every song fc'able with one foot. they have a seperate double bass extension just to make 16 bass notes easier to hit. but i agree, this is how u correctly chart a song.

[@andreperron8466]

wow great vidéo

[@wolfstars20]

I get kicked offstage on expert on panic attack, so I stick with Medium

other than the missing snare at 3:14, nice job

@4JohN7 Overdrive wasn't used so you can see the full chart

[@PennGoal]

Yep.

[@bigfootdrums]

I hope they make Rock Band 5 PC!

[@KkahluaHero]

lol the original is accurate for 1 pedal, all we did was add the double bass kicks that they intentionally took out to make the song possible for one foot, because not everyone who plays Rock Band owns a double bass pedal

[@stairfall12345678900]

How did they not get 5 stars

[@fatcontroller12]

Darrothan because the star power wasn’t activated throughout the entire song.

he may be overrated but he did get the award for best drummer ever, wait fuck did i just contradict myself?

[@pzych0p4th]

I dunno if its illegal to say, but I just played through this on my Xbox and it was freaking AWESOME. I dunno if this is charted correct on Pro Drums, I played Pro Drums, seemed fine though the blue note roll at 6:45 wasnt chatd as blue cymbal, the only error for pro drums I guess. Awesome job dudes :).

[@merlinpwnz1]

@KkahluaHero People don't know how audition mode works apparently.

[@ServantofGodMOSTHIGH]

How did you unlock the expert + mode on the original rock band 2? On the original I did not see an expert + only maximum of expert. I used to own this game. Good job btw!

[@LeroyAmos]

Same

[@JoeyCrick]

RB2 doesn't have an actual Expert+ difficulty. This is just a modified Drums chart where you play with two kick pedals, like in Guitar Hero's Expert+ difficulty.

[@Splax77]

Someone didn't read the description

[@KkahluaHero]

@advancedpwng they don't "want" that's just how it's supposed to be, they chart one pedal because not everyone will own double bass, they don't want to make the songs FCable because some stuff is hard as is, though This Calling was terribly charted for one pedal, but yeah

[@KkahluaHero]

@advancedpwng not to make the songs FCable, Rock Band only charts one pedal of any song with double bass, I took the liberty and charted out the double bass for the song
