Welcome to rock gamer and it’s Music Monday where I profile some of my favourite rock band  customs that have come out over the past couple of years so lets get started with our first song of the week. It’s from the bad Green Day we’ve seen of course a full disc release from but this is a song that never made it on the disc. This is their version of the Simpsons theme song. It’s a really short song probably about a minute or minute thirty long. This song on drums for the most part is a pretty standard rock beat on the crash snare hi-hat  snare but there’s a really fun part where you’re playing on the toms you’ll be playing on the floor toms and alternating between the different rack toms. That’s probably the best part of the song on drums. The guitar you’ll be playing the lead part so you’ll be playing the main riff in the Simpsons song over and over again in different variations. . The end part is pretty tricky there’s some pretty fast alt strumming in that part of the song.  The bass is probably more challenging than the guitar. The bass has some really tricky parts where you’re playing like between red and blue like two notes on blue and one note on red back and forth.  And vocals there’s not a whole lot on vocals. There’s a lot of harmonies on this song but even with that they are pretty sparse. This is just a fun jam song to just jam too you know if you want to do a quick song instead of playing a 4 minute long song. Let’s go onto our second song of the week. 

This song is from a band we’ve seen some songs in rock band.  I think we’ve seen about three or four releases from Harmonix. This is a fantastic cover of the Presidents of the United States of America. It’s their cover of the song Video Killed The Radio Star.  I had never really heard this cover until this got released by C3. This is an official C3 release so you can go find it on the spreadsheet on the main page, so this song is fantastic on drums. It is so much fun and so much variety and so many fun little fills thrown in. This is a really great song for drummers. The keys there’s really not a whole lot in the way of keys. They are pretty sparse and you’ll basically be standing for a lot of the song. The vocals are really fun, really fun harmonies in the song. Some of the harmonies are pretty high pitched and they are pretty difficult to hit I found when I was playing. I found that the bass was the least enjoyable out of all the instruments. It’s pretty much the same riff you’re playing over and over again. The guitar is pretty decent, it’s pretty chord heavy and there’s a decent number of sustains. There is a guitar solo which is pretty easy and the later part of the song gets a little more difficult on guitar. Let’s move onto our last song of the week. 
Our last song of the week is an anthemic rock song that is by a band who we all love and know from the 80’s Journey.   I am talking about. This song is Separate Ways (Worlds Apart)  This song is a great song on drums, piano, on keys it is insanely difficult at times. The vocals are absolutely fantastic. This is like arena rock at its best at least 80’s arena rock at its best. On drums you’ll be playing a variety of different beats. You’ll start out playing this little pattern playing on the toms going to the hi-hat and snare and playing a cool little variation on the ride and snare. The crazy part is that the song has some really difficult fills on the toms like you’ll be all over the place on the toms on certain parts of it and it will probably screw your full combo up. The guitar is pretty chord heavy a lot of sustains on the song. The guitar is pretty easy. I  feel like it’s tiered maybe a little too high. I’d probably tier it a level  1 or level 2. There is a really hard guitar
