Rock Band Custom - Nine Inch Nails "The Beginning of the End" Full Band

This is an unofficial song and is not available in any Rock Band store.

Granted this song isn't as epic as Closer, but it's a pretty good opener to a great album, and I've always loved the noise solo (if you think this is boring, watch the guitar chart near the end of the song). The vocals chart in this song is actually decent, I think someone besides me could successfully sing it. As usual, I made custom venue animations for this, so you can enjoy it for more than just the chart.

Interesting side note, I made this using the multitracks that Trent Reznor released for this song, so if you miss a note it actually cuts out. This also made it way easier for me to chart vocals.

The RBA file will (most likely) be posted soon over at: http://youtube.com/RockBandNetwork
So subscribe to them if you want an update on that.


FAQ
Q: How do you get your drums (or bass) audio higher than the other instruments?

A: In the main menu, go to Options, then Audio/Video Settings, then Adjust Audio. Then move the slider for all the categories except "Instruments" to the left. This will make whatever instrument you're playing louder than everything else.

Q. How can I play customs?
There's a long answer to this. The short version is:
1. You need the RBA file for the song you want to play.
2. You need to get a trial XNA Membership.
3. Then you need to go to http://creators.rockband.com, sign up, then install Magma.
4. Open the RBA file with Magma, stream the song to Rock Band's Audition Mode under the Extras menu.

I wondered when you'd get to Year Zero or The Slip-era material, what with the available multitracks and all.

I have a feeling, were this actually available, I'd buy it but hardly ever play it. Suffers from Icky Thump Syndrome: I love the song, but fuck those weirdass solos, man.

[nonzz3ro]

Yeah, I know what you mean. But it is a spectacle to behold. If nothing else this is a pretty fun vocals song.

I'll probably do a few more from what he released multitracks for, but there are so many other great songs he didn't release anything for.

I enjoy doing NIN songs because I love the songs, it's perfect for my skill level at the moment, and there's a very theatrical element in them so I can get creative with the animations.

I can haz "The Big Come Down"??

[nonzz3ro]

It's on my to-do list. ;)

I thought it was a nice random character to sing the line "I got my mark, see it in my eyes"

whoo votes for a NIN rock band enhancing a new keyboardish instrument (raises hand)

[gordofredito]

I LOVE this song

[bullsfan93]

is there any way i can get this on my xbox and play it?

[Packers909]

I always wanted 1,000,000 in Rock band. Looks like it won't happen though =(

[KampfVerein]

I agree. You've done a great job thus far with the material - the whole time I was watching the noise solo, I thought, "Well, that's actually a pretty good chart interpretation. Sure, I'll buy that." - and you can certainly play with the drama of it all, especially on Year Zero.

I'd be interested to see how you'd handle "My Violent Heart" or "Vessel" or the Pigface version of "Suck" with Reznor vocals, all of which have multitracks floating around.

=D

Also, WTF @ that solo. Wow.. I kinda feel like listening to Year Zero, now.
