Tangled Up In Blue [Rock Band 2] 100% Expert Vocals

100% Gold Star Expert Vocals performance on Tangled Up In Blue by Bob Dylan, as it appears in Rock Band 2 for PlayStation 3.

As is typical for my videos, the original vocals by Bob Dylan are minimized so you can hear what I'm singing.

This song has been requested by many, MANY people over the past many months. I finally found a good reason to post an FC run on it, as a response to the ScoreHero Tangled Up In Blue Challenge, where the idea is to try and mimic Dylan's singing style (boy do I ever use that term loosely) as much as possible while playing Tangled Up in Blue on Expert Vocals.

This song is a pain in the butt. Period. There are a half dozen phrases that are just really finicky and annoying, and on top of that the optimal overdrive path (which I'm not using here in the interests of preserving my own sanity) has a nearly-broken overdrive window.

Dude, thank you SO much for this video. I finally got this song just now after five final verse chokes, and it's all down to you. I owe you, seriously. I love you so, so much.

Will you... will you be my husband?

[IcemageJT]

@YewbSH Excellent! Glad to hear the video helped! (Will have to pass on the marriage offer though... ) :-)

I really dunno whats so hard about this song, i say painkiller is TONS more harder, I got 87% on this last time i tried expert and i FAILED on painkiller!

[IcemageJT]

Painkiller is definitely harder to /pass/ than Tangled Up in Blue, but Tangled Up in Blue is far, far harder to get 100% on. Once you learn the little quirks you can get a perfect run on Painkiller every single time. I don't know anyone who can FC Tangled Up in Blue on demand (myself included).

@IcemageJT I suck at vocals, but I also don't really see the imba in this. It's not easy, but it ain't that hard imo. Spoonman is 1000 times harder.

[IcemageJT]

Spoonman isn't nearly as hard to get 100% on as Tangled Up in Blue on Expert vocals. There's weird notes in both songs, but Tangled is much longer, has a lot more strange things going on in the melody. I can FC Spoonman on demand, but Tangled is a dice roll - I might FC it one time in three because it's hard to remember all the weird little variations and perform them correctly.

Dude, if you have the ability to 100% this song on Expert Vocals...the rest of the disk songs would be a cake walk..

never laughed so hard

[freqrexy]

Very informative reference there; Tangled Up in Blue was even a pain for me to try and get, so some of the tips you provided throughout were a great help in keeping some of the weirder phrases to memory.

Keep up the great work for the blue side :D

[Carthsting]

Okay, now im scared.

[GShouse8]

Hey guys, I just got RB2, where can I find TUIB quickly?

[ivanha1]

Icemage...thanks alot man...i just got the fc 19 november 2010....all thanks to you...you dont realize how thankful i am of you...again...thank you

[psizovrak282]

@IcemageJT This. Spoonman was 99% for my first 5 or 6 runs, and then 100% consistently.

Tangled up in blue was 94% my first time, and after a couple hours I haven't FC'd it yet. Going to just leave it for another day :p

[kevinlegoking]

nice

[bruthaflo]

Man, I can 100% painkiller, spoonman, master exploder...all those screamers but I tremble when this song comes up in the set list. 40 versus of erratic mummbling. The phrases are so weird to me and have all these quirky parts in them. I hate this song more than anything else in the game. I hate you Bob. You dont know how to sing. This isnt rock music. You should be on folk hero.

[chaoscontrolASH]

at 1:25 you weren't lying about that being a tricky phrase. i've nailed that phrase down like twice out of the dozens of times doing this song

[cheyOATH]

i actually can sing this 100% On expert too (: Only girl I know that can do that XD
