Panic Attack by Dream Theater RB2 Expert Bass FC

[beepyou34]

@ZACKnirvana

This is NOT easy on bass.

[sumbooodeeee]

am i the only one that at the beginning strums all the notes. lol

[Kreeseen]

@sumbooodeeee no your not lol i do it too.

[LaNinjette]

The drums hurt on this e___e

I can't play it on expert bc I can't get the double/triple/quadruple kicks.

I think it's pretty much impossible to get 100% without hooking up another bass pedal.

[sumbooodeeee]

@LaNinjette not true look up Vdog he did it with stock drums and one pedal

[jordanandcody126]

@LaNinjette l0l plentiful ppl have

[DotirosBolsaBlanca]

Respect!

[theroflcoptergoeswha]

@mephistojak i bought this song on itunes be4 rcband even was thought of, its a kick ass song. try octavarium. 28 miniutes of pure guitar wesomeness (some bad parts tho)

[gangsterthomas1000]

@theroflcoptergoeswha 24 minutes :D awesome song idd

[swinglifeaway1000]

you think its hard to play on Rock Band? try learning the actual instrument. then say its hard.

p.s. it is very hard. lol

[mitalca35]

John Myung of Dream Theater - The Greatest Bass Player ALIVE!!!

[xXBmWGtR3Xx]

i wish rockband had stream of consciness it would really fuck up all of these "great" rockband players

[NewTomorrowMetal]

I can get through the song but not fc it lol

[TheJrpenguin]

how the fuck do u do the backwards part? the one on my channel is a fail

[Redon26]

@TheJrpenguin Basically just how you would do the intro without holding down the red/green button, but reverse - keep your pinky on the orange all the time, and switch to the other buttons for a short moment when necessary

[Arror69]

@Redon26 yeah you can't hold down the orange button at the reverse part because they aren't hammer-ons they are pull-offs

[nnifie]

how do you pass the part between 4:42 and 4:49

[zezzez13]

The almighty bass master

It took me 3 times to beat this on expert

[zezzez13]

The almighty bass master

[LordMerric]

lol bass isnt even that hard for this song

[pangavon]

Wow, I thought guitar was hard. Amazing job!

[ckellyhoyle]

I think visions is a lot harder

[jayfatha]

I suck at the parts after and before the solo. I could FC this on a lucky run. Awesome job, man

[MRB2456]

I cant get past 4% of this song on bass lol same with drums how do you hit those notes in the beginning?i cant seem to hit the red ones i hit most of them but i cant get all of them,the other notes are okay though

[AGENT2seven]

@MRB2456 its pretty east.Try holding down red the entire time and strum slowly.You'll know what im talking about when you practice

[TheGamerkid01]

I am a bass player and can do this 80%. I'm working on the refrain

[Dalxien]

My brother is a bass master but he only just got RB2

He knows dream theater but he was half asleep when we did this song on expert.

The dialogue was as follows

Me: so what's the next song?

Bro: hmmmm... Dream theate- DREAM THEATER! OH SHIT! *fail*

Me: XD

[natzkee2k8]

since this is RB, do you have to press the notes together with strumming?

-sorry for the nab question, i've never played RB before, only the psp version.. which sucks btw..-

[Dmac5731]

FUUUUUUUUUUUUNNNEST SONG EVER

[TheDrummerNamedTony]

i can do this on drums AND THATS HARD im a pro-drummer though so.. that makes it easier :D

[WidowMaker9669]

you already beat my highest score by 5:30... damn...

[yogos87]

this oughtta take awhile to load.

[jayjaxt]

i can play it on guitar does this count xDxDxD oh and you can ask my friend i played it 5 times on expert in a row =DDD

[WidowMaker9669]

This is my favorite song to play on bass. on drums i mostly just play it to get a work out.

[nano905]

i die around 70%, i cant get that organ solo., mostly because its so confusing whats happening

[CintaVHS]

estas enfermo hermano

yo no puedo hacer eso :S

[kain4489]

Great job in doing this song its looks insane

[dirtbikesbiker]

Pretty sure visions is harder then this..

[this1neguy]

He said hardest FC'able; he's on NTSC, so FCing Visions is nigh on impossible. Were he on PAL, he probably would not have said that.

[AQganon]

@dirtbikesbiker yeah but he means the hardest FCABLE song. visions bass is pretty fucking hard to fc. not impossible, but VERYYYYYY unlikely to be fc'd

[mth17dc]

BEAST!!! I can play this until the solo and the bass goes all over the place. gotta practice it more. Nice job.

[kingoflightness]

same here only in the middle of the solo i need overdrive to pass it but when i run out i get screwed

[wafetr]

i would luv to see a vid of u actually playing that instead of just the screen......i hav no idea how to play this song ITS SO HARD!!!

[ZACKnirvana]

personally i found this one easy on bass. this on drums however is a pain in the ass

[japanneko]

AHMEN! take it from a drummer

[ZACKnirvana]

yeah i play bass. the drums in this is absolutely insane. also visons and embedded

[The1Dum1Ass]

@ZACKnirvana i choked on it got 42 percent on expert then just failed

[ZACKnirvana]

@The1Dum1Ass it takes practice man, i play the song numerous times on hard and expert seems to come naturally to me

[DuxLikeCheese]

@ZACKnirvana EASY?!? WTF?!?

[ZACKnirvana]

@DuxLikeCheese well, for me anyways. i just happen to be good at guitar on these games

[steven957310]

@ZACKnirvana what many people generally completely underestimate in metal bands (if the drums are died down or theres a solo) is the intenssity of the drummer and all the work hes gotta go through to

i hate honestly hate Dragonforce, but on the rare occasion i will listen to some songs to just listen to the drumer

I want all of you reading this to listen to Through the Fire and Flames, but listen to the intensity of the drummer behind the diddly-doo of guitars

[ZACKnirvana]

@steven957310 oh yes the drummers themselves in metal bands, even the ones in bands i absolutely hate are talented most of the time nonetheless

[BlackFireShinigami]

@ZACKnirvana i played this on expert drums with this song before. yer right, it is a pain in the ass lol

[ZACKnirvana]

@BlackFireShinigami haha see! i knew i wasn't alone :)

[DetoxRogue]

@ZACKnirvana i agree. i love this song on bass. drums mess me up. i made it past the intro a few times but i always seem to get stumped

[Beast6Of6Bass6]

@ZACKnirvana cause its not in sync with the song it seems.

[CarlosTevezNR1Fan]

@ZACKnirvana have you tried Painkiller drums? that kills you, not the pain

[RandomGuyBlake54]

@ZACKnirvana I think most drum parts made by Mike Portnoy are a pain in the ass

[AsianRuler109]

@ZACKnirvana i can actually do this on drums easier

[dontsuepplpanda]

@ZACKnirvana Wanker! WANKER!!!!!!!

[nickdawg13]

@ZACKnirvana the drums are insane

[LocustAnarchy]

did you squeeze your activations?

[cheesedefender002]

if u can do visions can u give tips plz its the only song i need in the game to beat 4 tour

[cheesedefender002]

i cant do visions but i can do this 1 if i save a overdrive at that one backwards part

[DetoxRogue]

lol you cant get 2%? you sound like me now... i got 98% on this song!! FML i was pissed :P but im trying for 100

[Soccer1296]

i love this song. i got the fc too, its a pain to get lol

[theskater5844]

visions is harder. its the song that stops my from fgfc<3

[cheesedefender002]

can u help me with visions

[theskater5844]

get your hammer on'ing down and get your strums steady

[Browncurse]

I love it when people who play bass because it is generally easier than guitar play this song not expecting its difficulty fail on it.

[Tristin471]

i can 4 star this song on hard

[MusicalXSnowxBunny]

How did your fingers not fall off?

[4thwatcher777]

@MusicalXSnowxBunny Actually, with the right techniques, this is easy. It's just hard to FC

[MusicalXSnowxBunny]

@4thwatcher777 You must teach me the way! I'm horrible with guitar, and everytime this song comes on my band and I die a little.

[4thwatcher777]

@MusicalXSnowxBunny Here is one

For the main riff (like the bass intro) hold down the green fret the whole riff with your index, and do the hammer-ons if you can with your other 3 fingers(I do Red with my middle,Yellow with my ring finger and Blue and stretch to orange with my pinky) , and do the up-down kind of strumming.and do the same with the intro on the Red fret (Use the the 3 fingers) and also, it takes a lot of practice. It took me some time to master that part. Hope this helps a bit :)

[MusicalXSnowxBunny]

@4thwatcher777 lol thanks. I'll have to practice a lot more and take your advice the next time we come across Panic Attack. I do love this song though.

[mcmatanmc]

@MusicalXSnowxBunny Because it's a plastic guitar and not a real 1

[MusicalXSnowxBunny]

@mcmatanmc I know. I can't play the guitar/bass at all in Rock Band 2. Even on the easiest setting on the easiest song my fingers rebel.

[Nsider2composer]

@MusicalXSnowxBunny Play it twice in a row and your done for the day

[123476565656]

thats supposed to be a hard song but its not really even in comparison with guitar hero... try a guitar hero song like that! some songs I haven't even beaten before...

[Mooser1512]

nice fc. why didnt u whammy

[BalthaxZelda]

sorry for double post, but the trouble i have starts at 4:42 and ends at around 4:49

[BalthaxZelda]

kudos to you pal, i get so close to losing on the orange to green scale. bleh.

[iclone18476]

Good job! Now try it on a real bass!

[marco91042]

drmmr look more like Mario..lol

[nonofday]

Drummer looks like Freddie Mercury.

You and Sickhands are the best!

[Rizilo]

That intro reminds me of Malignant Narcissism by Rush.. This doesn't seem that hard to play on real bass..

[qqwwee1243]

The highest percentage I've gotten is 96% and the lowest I've gotten is a 77%

[Sokies51]

i love this song so much,,,i heard it 6 months ago and im like I NEED TO LEARN THAT BASS INTRO...so i got a real bass and started playing and i can pretty much master it now...SO FUN x)

[joerac911]

i saw my friend play it on rock band so i learned it on bass its sad people ge more respect for playing something on rock band then real instruments

[jrckr1]

Rock band is harder than the real thing IMO. I have been playing bass for about 3 years now and hadnt played RB since I started and tried to play rock band a couple weeks ago and failed this...bad. But if I were to play the real thing it'd be easy as hell

[Dennywantsacheezit]

I agree. Bassists for the win my friend.

[daddysbabygirl]

Dude, your like friggin BEAST! Kuddos

My aris can barely survive on hard hah! :p

[OCDavoh]

yarrr tis no man, tis a rockband playing machine, yarrrr harr harr

[mechamind90]

Wow. 522,179 points! I'm actually surprised since it's higher than Drums optimal score of 439,675 points. Bass gets the credit for this song by a long shot.

[Joziaac]

This is even harder on a real bass, I know from experience =(

[nekezajebancije]

No shit!! :)

[AlmostBeyond]

You said it X__X Learning it myself as well. Before half of the songs you got butterfingers already xD

[jmiester25]

Trying upstrumming every note then come talk to me hahaha

[NitroVortox]

Now do it without Alt strumming, AKA Finger play.

Then you'll be awesome.

[40kguy]

i love playing this song.

[itswout]

not even fc , somewhere near minute 2.30 u have x2 , but still nice xd

[Aeth666]

x12. Learn to read.

[PAINRULEZ]

it was 12x it was a perfect fc

[jmiester25]

no he didnt. watch it over

[PrivateMaster]

John Myung is a fuckin' bass god!

[0Eternalis0]

that part with the bass "Solo" the massive spams....it's fuckign ridiculous, I can barely manage 90 percent on this song on hard D:

[NurbeBaas]

visions is just plain retarded i mean just try to hear what is actually being sung, this song though is quite playable on bass finished it first try =) failed on guitar though i suck ;> only hard part starts about 4.40

[nicholasgregg]

yeah thats where i fail.lol at about 4 40

[BibiTheRatDog]

BASS LEGEND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Spiritl3reaker]

Hey Any1 out there able to give me a detailed pathing strat for panic attack ive recently been trying to master the song. I got the game about 3 months ago and am just being able to start expert on panic and hysteria etc. But i need a pathing strat in order to actualy ace the songs. So if sombdy could reply that would be awesome, ill be checking this song again so ill be here xD.

[Sokies51]

this song is actually easy if u think about it, the only hard part is the beginning

[braz1lsbestbet]

this song is so hard, looking at all the bass tracks on the game. its the hardest on the game, thats for sure.

[T3hJ3susFing3rs]

Visions is its only been FC'ed like once

[braz1lsbestbet]

yeah i agree with you there, i looked at a visions fc and wish i could have taken my comment back lol

[headshotsalot]

Could you please tell me how you hit the main riff? I epicly phail at it.

[wedge116]

visions is the hardest for everything except vox. imo.

[mariokartfan400]

it should be the hardest drum song but its pannicattack

[wedge116]

i don't care what the game designers say, i've seen visions and i've seen panic attack and i gotta say, visions is way harder. besides, more people have fc'd panic attack. but whatever...

[halfjaw77]

Visions is that stupid kind of difficulty.

[crazykillerpanda63]

now play that with a real intrument

[FAKEHUNTER33]

i cant pass the 98% the goddam solo its hard :S

[Thugnifisent]

is it possible that the bass makes more points then the guitar?!

[tljeasta]

the bass has a6X multiplier and the guitar has 4 plus it starts sooner

[Wardude243]

when i played this on rock band, i got so pumped i got the bass tab and now i can play it in real life. so instead of wastn my life in front of a video game, im playn bass all the time. great job tho. that keyboard/guitar solo after the middle is incredibly hard inside and outside the game

[TheJackofIce]

You're in the exact same situation as me XD This song kicks ass >:O

[TheJackofIce]

I also mean that Dream Theater kicks ass too! >:O

[Megses]

The video is about the *Bass* part, not the guitar. Stop whining about the difference in difficulty.

[sprtrprs1134]

this song is only hard from 4:40 till 5:40 i got it fc'd until that point lol

[SCOOTAFORLIFE]

its real 100%...how could a bot hold down the red note in the intro the whole time?

[swordsilver]

No, its real. He holds down frets before/inbetween notes. No bot does that. :P

[tiff13246]

the next time i see him i'll tell him that i know he was lieing but i have a hunch that he knows LOL

[tiff13246]

did this kid named Marco do this? because he's right next to me in the Library and he said he did this

[FliipStudio]

no he didnt

[sprtrprs1134]

nah tell him i did this

[Gamerkid58]

this is very easy to fc on bass one of the easiest impossible tier bass fc's.

[lancerevoMD]

i wouldnt say that...carry on wayward pretty easy impossible tier bass compared to this

[RCDuke4]

WOW.

Amazing man. Nice job!

[Psytrin]

:[ I hope this comes onto the DLC List for RBU.

[legofandude]

please dont mark this down but what is dlc and rbu  i dont know

[Psytrin]

Rockband Unplugged

Downloadable Content

[cameronrox]

How do you get this song? Do you have to win some sorta battle of the bands thing? i duno someone explain please!

[sk8terbuk87]

cameorn..

Its on the impossible setlist .

[steriodz101407]

maybe u should beat the game in tour mode :D

[JeDeSoN2]

You cant spell bass without ass!

[TD1Celestial]

The main riff (the very first pattern) is a lot easier than I thought it was. I used to try strumming the entire thing when I realized it was so much easier only strumming the notes I had to and just keep green held down the entire time. The part where the main riff is reversed is hard as hell though...

[poppashotz]

i know right i always strummed back and forth but now i can fc the riff every time

[danman6000ify]

4:42-5:57 always stumps me and if not then i could get an average of maybe at least 95% but so far only 85% but thats not bad for having the game since the past May :D

[jason5126]

i always miss like 1-5 notes

[PontusPOWER]

bass is awesome! ^^

[drake987789]

I was a guitarist on RB for a long time but after somebody picked guitar on this song too and forced me to bass, I've been a bassist ever since. It made me realise how fun bass is.

Congrats on the FC.

[gary900]

daaaamn I've been trying to FC this song on bass and drums for a looong time. I am getting 98% on drums and 96% on bass. That STUPID STUPID part from 4:42 to 4:50 kicks the crap out of me in bass. Still, I think there a reharder songs on bass such as visions and shoulder to the plow (from my point of view

[lfcuruguay19]

for some reason the bass sounds harder but the guitar actually is :S

[lancerevoMD]

bass cant touch that guitar solo tho in this song

[FAKEHUNTER33]

if it werent for the solo i would FC this but i always fail in the solo! DAMN YOU SOLO!

[soultrader3]

dang i wish i was that good i can only get 73% on bass expert wow 5stars

[Blueberrycherries]

damn your good

[rcrcool9]

5:47 beat my score :(

[jayd120894]

lol 5:49 he beat mine :P

[rcrcool9]

The only reason pain killer is song 84 not 83 because at the end it has a drum solo and a really long vocal part. without those painkiller would be 83

[sherbertflavor]

yeah the bass on painkiller is suprisingly easy for me. and I'm not that good

[gangsterthomas1000]

John Myung is a really good bass player

[geralives]

wanna FBFC??

[geralives]

Dude you deserve more subscribers!!

[inflames503]

panic attack should be the hardest song in the game instead of painkiller

[halodude310]

its only the long drum solo at the end and the vocal breath taker at tyhe end tooo =]

[SasukeTheCursedOne]

This Songs Bad Ass Ima Get tHis Game xD

[Spideystwin]

this seems slow to me. when i play it, it goes faster than this.

[sonicandmariofan]

i think that can be becuz wen u play alone it looks slow u probably play it with a drummer and guitarist

[botchie24]

Good thing you said FC'able because visions is the hardest song to fc on bass or guitar. Its got some of the most random strumming for bass. Plus the wack fretting.
