EPIC GUITAR/KEYS DUEL - Rock Band 3 - "Another Step" Andromeda (Expert Pro Keys & Guitar)

Disclaimer: I work for Rhythm Authors, who authored this song for the Rock Band Network.

The last Andromeda song out of the batch is here! The keys part is nearly as insane as it is in Veil of Illumination, and I'm showing it off here with guitar because there's an epic guitar/keys duel and it is the best thing that has ever happened.

As you can probably tell, I've spliced in the actual song, so you don't hear just a bunch of nothing. I would have been trying out the guitar part but I have carpal tunnel right now, so no Rock Band for me for a few days.

Wait... if you work for Rhythm Authors, then you have access to RBN playtesting, so you should be able to used autoplay...

[SoundDefenseRB]

@SatansBestBuddy1 Harmonix doesn't like people making videos of raw RBN materials in Audition Mode. Doesn't seem to deter most people but this is fine for me.

[ProffessorJoe]

does anyone even playtest the keys part? I can't see why these key parts are ok. That part is obviously humanly impossible to play with one hand, and it sounds like the whole part is created by a computer. *shrugs* guess i'll continue to stay away from RBN *sigh

[SoundDefenseRB]

@ProffessorJoe Harmonix looked at the song and they gave the keys solo the okay. And the part was played by a human, if you can call him that.

*guitar solo comes in*

Ok, shit gets serious now

*keyboard chart shows solo start*

Ok, shit gets REAL serious now

*keyboard solo actually starts*

...WHAT? THE? HELL? WAS? THAT?!

[Then3verend]

you came for 4:47, you're welcome

One day, maybe a year from now, I will FC this keyboard solo. I've always wanted to find the RB3 equivalent of Solfeggietto.  I may have to use two hands for it.

@SyzzleSH Also to make it clear what I mean by stale. Yes their technical playing is the best it's ever been, but their songwriting has essentially just been rehashing their past works, or other bands past works ever since Octavarium.

Compare that to bands/writers like Steven Wilson of Porcupine Tree, Daniel Gildenlow of Pain of Salvation, and Mikael Akerfeldt of Opeth who are actually trying new things. There's a reason why most older prog fans have gone away from DT.

[Nubnut]

@SyzzleSH "Any prog metal fan that says their music is stale doesn't know shit about music" Do you have a degree in Music Theory? Music Composition? No? Well as someone who's a music teacher and has a music theory degree I can say it's severely stale.

Not to mention most music majors on the Portnoy and Petrucci forums have felt the same way for the past 6 years. Hell the majority of those boards haven't even largely been DT fans since Systematic Chaos when everything hit the shitter.

[shoez290]

well ill take dream theaters mediocre vocals over a band that uses the same vocals for every song with different words. Besides there other prog bands....with the notes that herman li makes on his guitar its safe to say he can do his own solo prog band lol

[Tunaan360]

@SyzzleSH "Petrucci is obviously the best it's not even a competition anymore"

Well that sums it up. You're too closed minded. And their music has been the same progression adding more technical wankery over it.

[SyzzleSH]

@Tunaan360 Any prog metal fan that says their music is stale doesn't know shit about music. Again Moore's solo's don't even come close to Rudess's if you think that you have no idea what you're talking about. And Petrucci is obviously the best it's not even a competition anymore.

[Tunaan360]

@SyzzleSH yeah right dickhead. Ask any prog metal fan they would argue that DT's music has gone shite the last few albums. Moore's solo have more melodic soul to it then rudess doing arppegios at 100mph. And any professional classical pianist would destroy rudess in technique, I would know because I'm a pianist. And you're saying no one in the 6 billion population of the earth could give face petrucci? you're just deluded rudess/petrucci cocksucker who is a disgrace amongst DT fans.

[SyzzleSH]

@Tunaan360 DT's music stale? Nice joke you're just another idiot who thinks he knows music when he doesn't. Kevin Moore's solos don't even come close to being as good as Jordan's which is why he is currently the best keyboardist alive. There is no guitarist out there that can give Petrucci a run for his money. He is one of the very few guitarists in the world who has all 3 aspects of what it takes to be a great guitarist and I can already tell this guitarist isn't one of them.

[Tunaan360]

@SyzzleSH Oh geez not another DT fanboy who thinks Prog metal revolves only around DT. DT's music has lately gone stale since the early 2000s. Andromeda has a more atmospheric sound to them, and as for rudess it's not about "playing faster". Martin here and even Kevin Moore had tastier solos and composing skills then Rudess. So I dunno who is "shit" here. And as for Petrucci, Johan here could EASILY give Petrucci a run for his money.
