| Scored 100% notes hit as a guitarist on Expert | ||||||
Ok for this trophy you need to get 100% on a song as a guitarist on expert. My suggestion for this trophy is to do the song Charlene (I'm right behind you). This song is easy and very short. This song is not on the main game you will need to download it from the Music Store but the best part is its free. Here's a video of the song (thanks to Sora2500). Another easy song is Hungry Like The Wolf by Duran Duran. Just watch out for the triple notes they can be tricky sometimes. Here's what the song looks like (thanks to GearsFan4Life). Remember practice makes perfect. | ||||||
![]() | Flawless Drumming | |||||
| Scored 100% notes hit as a drummer on Expert | ||||||
Alright, for this one you have to get 100% of the notes hit in a song as a drummer. Like I said in my tips, learn the footpedals first, then start to hit the other notes it makes it much easier. Most songs have the same pattern so if you get the pattern down you'll be good to go. Here are some easy drum songs you should be able to get 100% on. If your footpedal challenged or just cant seem to get this and you don't mind paying $2.00 for it then Polly by Nirvana is easily the easiest drum song in the game. It has about 4 notes in the entire song and no footpedals. If you really cant get this trophy then here you go, they basically give it to you. Here's a video of how easy it is (thanks to VendettasTruth). Practice, practice, practice and more practice and you'll get this trophy. | ||||||
![]() | Flawless Singing | |||||
| Scored a 100% rating as a vocalist on Expert | ||||||
Like the others you'll need to get 100% notes hit but this time as a vocalist. There are some easy talk songs that do not require you to hit a pitch just to simply hum when there is a word. Here are two very easy vocal songs you can get it on. Another easy talk song is So What'cha by The Beastie Boys. I found it harder than Visions but still a very easy song you can get this trophy with. You can hold your microphone up to the video as this song is playing and it will hit the notes for you as long as you've timed it right. I wouldn't suggest doing this for every vocal song though as it doesn't work for all songs. Thanks Woody for this tip. Here's the video (thanks to QunicySchumann). This is also a perfect example of how you don't need to say the words, in this video you can tell he doesn't know all the words but it doesn't matter. | ||||||
![]() | Flawless Groove | |||||
| Scored 100% notes hit as a bassist, up-strums only, on Expert | ||||||
You'll need to get 100% notes hit as a bassist, but you MUST UPSTRUM ONLY. That means on the strum bar strum towards you not away from you. The easiest song to do this on by far is So What'cha Want by The Beastie Boys. The whole song for bass is green notes. Alternatively if you play righty you can turn on lefty flip and you will be allowed to downstrum, Or if you play lefty just turn left flip off and you can downstrum, Thanks jamkor for that tip. Here's a video (thanks to S1ckH4ndsBass). | ||||||
![]() | Flawless Guitar Solo | |||||
| 100% on a guitar solo on Expert, using only the solo buttons | ||||||
While playing as the guitarist you will notice on most songs you play a solo. The solo turns the note background blue and you get a percentage of how many notes you hit in the solo. You need to play on expert and get a solo 100% while using the solo buttons which are the small buttons on the bottom of the neck of the guitar and close to the strum bar. When using these buttons during a solo you don't have to strum no matter what. It doesn't matter if its a hammer on or regular note during a solo while using these buttons you don't have to strum. For this trophy you must use the buttons and you CANNOT strum. The easiest solo to do it on is Give it Away by the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Here's a video (thanks to 9guitarkid4). The solo starts on 1:50 btw if your in a rush. Another easy song is Kids in America by The Muffs. Solos at 1:30. Here's a video (thanks to kitozeo). Just another general tip for this trophy try to get your fingers set on the solo buttons before the solo actually starts its alright if you miss some notes before the solo just hit all of them in the solo. | ||||||
![]() | The Bachman-Turner Award | |||||
| Maintained deployed Overdrive for 90 seconds. | ||||||
For this trophy get 3 people to play with you (its possible with two but MUCH easier with 3). Get a guitarist, bassist and drummer. You can do this on virtually any song if you use overdrive right but when I help people get this trophy I play the song Today by The Smashing Pumpkins with them. Here's the strategy, wait for the drummer to get full overdrive then have him use it. Right before he's about to run out of overdrive have either the Guitarist/Bassist use it (talk to each other and see who is going to use it first). Then when that person is just about to run out of overdrive have the other person (the only guy who didnt use it yet) use his. When he is running low the drummer by now should have full overdrive or close. He should then use his. You see the cycle here? Remember guitarists and bassists, whammy on long overdrive notes. You can get this trophy on any difficulty level so go on easy or medium to be on the safe side because if you miss one overdrive you mine as well restart the song. Here's the other video with just a guitarist and bassist (thanks to Groudon0199). So you can do it my way or if you dont mind paying $2.00 at the Music Store you can use the song The Kill. | ||||||
![]() | Million Point Club | |||||
| Earned more than 1,000,000 points in a single song | ||||||
You don't need a 4 person band in this song but it is MUCH easier with 4 people. If you have people that are good playing with you you can get this on many different songs. The easiest is So What'cha Want by The Beastie Boys as its one of the easiest songs in the game and you can get well near 1.5 million points. Remember to use your bands overdrive at the same time so that you get a x8 multiplier instead of a x6 or x4 multiplier. This trophy takes some teamwork. Guitarist and bassist shouldn't use their overdrive until the drummer does and the vocalist should use it when everyone else has it deployed. Here's a video of the song and it also demonstrates how to use your overdrive correctly (thanks to rykuzeath). | ||||||
![]() | Victory! | |||||
| Defeated a player in either Score Duel or Tug of War | ||||||
This can be done by yourself if you have 2 guitars or can be done online against an opponent. If you want to do it by yourself just go into QUICKPLAY then TUG OF WAR or SCORE DUEL then LOCAL MULTIPLAYER. Play as one of the guitars and finish the song and you'll get the trophy. If you are going to do it online you'll need to beat an opponent who will actually be playing and most likely trying to beat you. You can use any instrument to do this so pick your best one. When in this you take turns picking songs to play each other with so pick your best song and your best instrument. If you still can't manage to beat someone this trophy can be easily boosted. | ||||||
![]() | Comeback Kid | |||||
| Defeated the last player that defeated you in either Score Duel or Tug of War | ||||||
Go into QUICKPLAY then TUG OF WAR or SCORE DUEL and the ONLINE MULTIPLAYER. Yes this one MUST to be done online. When you get an opponent lose to him and don't even hit a note. Sometimes people will understand why you did that and let you win the next time. Sometimes they wont you could just send him a quick message telling him your going for this trophy, or you could easily just boost with someone from this site. | ||||||
![]() | Band Savior | |||||
| Was a savior 3 times during a single song | ||||||
You can use 3 people for this trophy or you can do it by yourself. When doing it with 3 people have one guy fail out when you have your overdrive half full. Then when you get your overdrive half full again have that same guy fail out again and save him again. Once you get your overdrive half full for the third time have the other player in your band (the one who hasn't failed) to fail and save him and you got it. Alternatively you can do it by yourself if put in drums and vocals on easy and you play hard guitar and play the song Hello There by Cheap Trick. Just play your guitar and get the overdrive and the drums and vocals should start failing. Just keep saving them and you will beat the song and get the trophy without even touching the drums and vocals. Make sure you get all the overdrive while your playing your guitar though if you miss an overdrive just restart. | ||||||
![]() | Hello Cleveland! | |||||
| Deployed Vocal Overdrive 4 times in a single song | ||||||
Pick vocals and play a song and use your overdrive 4 times in that one song. You DO NOT have to do it on expert you can do it on easy if you want. There are a couple easy songs you can do it on. I got mine on the song Visions while going for the Flawless Singing trophy. Here's a video of someone getting it on Nine in the Afternoon by Panic at the Disco. He's playing on expert but you don't have to. | ||||||
![]() | Overdrive Overdose | |||||
| Achieved an 8x Band Multiplier | ||||||
You need 4 band members for this trophy. You can achieve this on any song and you can easily achieve this when going for the Million Point Club trophy. Have the drummer deploy his overdrive first with the vocals, guitarist and bassist soon after. Its easiest when the drummer deploys his overdrive first because he is the most restricted on when he can use it. | ||||||
![]() | Clothes to the Edge | |||||
| Bought over $100,000 worth of items from the Rock Shop | ||||||
You earn money at the end of every setlist you do and depending on how many stars you earned and what difficulty you were on it will affect the amount of money you earn. Buying instruments DO NOT COUNT I repeat BUYING INSTRUMENTS FROM THE ROCK SHOP DO NOT COUNT TOWARDS THE MONEY TOTAL. Hairstyles and clothes are the only things that count towards the $100,000. When your playing in your career you will be asked randomly but often if you would like to go double or nothing or quadruple or nothing. They will ask you thinks like "get 5 stars on every song in this set and you will be payed double the cash but if you don't you get nothing". You get those a lot and just accept them and you'll get there don't worry. By the time your done some of the other trophies you will EASILY have enough. | ||||||

Some are solo only some you need a certain instrument and some you need certain DLC for the game. Compete in the battle by just starting it up and finishing the battle. Soon after your done the battle you'll get the trophy. | ||||||
![]() | You're Hired! | |||||
| Hired a staff member | ||||||
While you are progressing through your tour career you will unlock staff members that you can hire. You can hire anything from an accountant to a tattoo artist and they come with special bonuses when you hire them. Some get you into venues easier, some earn you more money and some make random events like double or nothings appear more. You start out with your mom as your staff member but she doesn't count so you will have to beat songs in your tour mode to unlock new staff members. The first two you unlock are the unpaid intern and the street team. You can hire them by pressing the yellow note and the buy pushing the green note over the one you want to hire. | ||||||
![]() | You Killed the Radio Star | |||||
| Made a music video in World Tour | ||||||
This is one of those random events you are offered. You will definitely get this by the time you beat the game. I always seemed to get it in Chicago the first time iIplay White Wedding (Part 1) by Billy Idol. Don't worry about this one though it will come eventually. | ||||||

![]() | Along for the Ride | |||||
| Beat an instrument-specific challenge while playing another instrument | ||||||
This can be done on any difficulty on any challenge tier. Go to the challenge screen and go to LOCAL STARTUPS as they have the easiest challenges but it can be done on any challenge tier. You'll notice there is "Fender Warmups", "Drum Warmups" and "Vocal Warmups". You'll need 2 people for this trophy. Just go into one of those three (or any higher version of the challenge) and have the instrument you need and another instrument that you don't need. For example for the "Drum Warmups" challenge you need to have at least a drummer in your band playing with you. But if your friend is the drummer and you join the challenge with him as the guitar, bass or vocals and you win the challenge you'll get the trophy. | ||||||
![]() | Challenge Novice | |||||
| Completed either 25 Challenges on Medium, 10 Challenges on Hard, or 5 Challenges on Expert | ||||||
Just do exactly what it says. Go to the challenge screen and pick some challenges to do. You can do this solo or with some friends but be warned if your on expert and your friends on medium for example it will count the challenge beaten on medium difficulty. To see how many of the challenges you have completed look on the top of each challenge and you will see letters. The E is for easy the M for medium the H for hard and the X for expert. | ||||||
![]() | Challenge Master | |||||
| Completed either 25 Challenges on Hard, or 10 Challenges on Expert | ||||||
This is the same as Challenge Novice except beat 25 challenges on hard or 10 challenges on expert. | ||||||
![]() | The Final Countdown | |||||
| Unlock an Impossible Challenge | ||||||
Make your way from the bottom of the challenge tier to the top. Just keep playing until you unlock and impossible challenge. You dont have to unlock it on expert you can unlock it on any difficulty you want to. | ||||||
![]() | Groove Assassin | |||||
| Beat the Impossible Bass Challenge | ||||||
This setlist has all the hardest bass songs in the game in one setlist. It sounds pretty tough but the catch is it doesn't have to be done on expert. Do it on easy if you'd like. That goes for all the Impossible challenges. First you have to play the "Fender Warmup" challenge. Then after thats beaten you will unlock two new challenges the Bass and Guitar Apprentice. Beat the Bass Apprentice and you will unlock the next tier of bass challenges. Beat that to unlock the next one etc. etc. You will eventually unlock the Impossible Bass challenge beat it on whatever difficulty you want and you will get the trophy and Punk Ultimate Outfit for your character. | ||||||
![]() | Beat It! | |||||
| Completed all beats at 60BPM or higher, or half of the beats at 140BPM or higher | ||||||
Go into TRAINING then DRUM TRAINER and you will see BEAT TRAINER go into it. You should be able to get this pretty easily even if you aren't good at the drums getting all the beats at 60 BPM or higher isn't hard at all. You need to get 100% on the beat for it to be counted as completed. The Beat Goes On is the one you should worry about. | ||||||
![]() | The Beat Goes On | |||||
| Completed all beats at 100BPM or higher, or half of the beats at 180BPM or higher | ||||||
If your not good at the drums this will be a tough one. Go to DRUM TRAINER just like the Beat It! trophy but now you have to do everything faster. I found it much easier to do half at 180BPM rather than all at 100BPM. If your really struggling on this one you should get a friend to come over and do the footpedals while you focus on the notes or vice-versa. You need to get 100% on the beat to have it count as completed. You know its completed when on the bar on the side the drum for 180BPM is highlighted green. If you get this trophy you get Beat It! as well, they are stackable. | ||||||
![]() | Fill Me In | |||||
| Completed all fills at 60BPM or higher, or half of the fills at 140BPM or higher | ||||||
Alright go in TRAINING then DRUM TRAINER then finally into FILL TRAINER. These in my opinion are much easier than the beats. You do not need to do the beats beforehand just the drum fill section. Same as before you need to get 100% on these for them to count as completed. | ||||||
![]() | Fill Legend | |||||
| Completed all fills at 100BPM or higher, or half of the fills at 180BPM or higher | ||||||
Same as before doing half at the higher speed is easier. If you beat The Beat Goes On you shouldnt have too much trouble with this one. Just beat half of them at 180BPM or all of them at 100BPM whichever tickles your fancy. | ||||||
![]() | Solid Gold, Baby! | |||||
| Gold Starred a song | ||||||
You will get this while going for the Flawless Groove, Flawless Fretwork, Flawless Drumming, and Flawless Singing trophies. Gold starring a song is the best rating you can earn on a song and it feels great when you get one on a hard song. | ||||||
![]() | One Million Fans | |||||
| Reached 1,000,000 fans in World Tour | ||||||
In your tour you will earn fans after every setlist and the difficulty you did the setlist on will determine how many fans you get. Once you get too many fans the game will force you to play on a higer difficulty to get fans. Your going to need to learn how to play expert on an instrument to get this. By the time you beat the game you will get this trophy if you changed difficulty when the game prompted you to do so. | ||||||
![]() | Challenge Savant | |||||
| Completed 25 Challenges on Expert | ||||||
Same as Challenge Novice except beat 25 challenges on expert. This is easiest done on the lowest tiers of the challenge screen so beat your way from the bottom of the challenge screen to the top until you get the trophy. | ||||||
![]() | Stage Igniters | |||||
| Beat the Impossible Band Challenge | ||||||
Same as Groove Assassin but beat the band challenges starting with "Band Warmups" and working your way up to the impossible band challenge. When you beat it you unlock the trophy and gold instruments. | ||||||
![]() | Lord of the Strings | |||||
| Beat the Impossible Guitar Challenge | ||||||
Same as Groove Assassin but instead of doing Bass Apprentice do Guitar Apprentice and work your way up. When you beat the challenge you get the ultimate Rock Outfit and the trophy. | ||||||
![]() | AN-I-MAL!!! | |||||
| Beat the Impossible Drum Challenge | ||||||
Same as Groove Assassin but start off with "Drum Warmups" and work your way up. After beating this you will unlock the Goth Ultimate Outfit and the trophy. | ||||||
![]() | Virtuoso | |||||
| Beat the Impossible Vocal Challenge | ||||||
Same as Groove Assassin but start off with "Vocal Warmups" and work your way up to the impossible vocal challenge. After you beat it you get your beloved trophy and the Metal Ultimate Outfit. | ||||||
![]() | Buy a Real Instrument Already! | |||||
| Beat any Impossible Challenge on Expert | ||||||
Go to the challenge screen and go to the highest tier that says The Impossible Challenge. Beat any challenge inside of there on expert difficulty and you get the trophy. Use your best instrument and you can have a friend join you and help you out with saviors if you need it but he has to be playing on expert as well. | ||||||
Secret Trophies | ||||||
![]() | Vinyl Artist | |||||
| Finished the Endless Setlist 2 in World Tour on Medium | ||||||
After you've beaten the Rock Immortal Setlist and you earn a few more stars you will be able to play the Endless Setlist 2. This setlist has all 84 songs that are on the disc (no DLC or Rockband 1 songs are in it). This setlist takes about 6-7 hours to complete, but don't worry you can pause it to take a break if you'd like. My suggestion is call some friends over and make it into a little party and have some fun times playing Rockband so you don't feel like its a total grind to get this done. You can play with band members but its less risky not too because if your playing with online band members and one of you lose connection it kicks you out of the setlist. | ||||||
![]() | Rock Immortal Inductee | |||||
| Joined the Rolling Stone Rock Immortals list | ||||||
This will be the last story related trophy you get. The last event they tell you to do in your tour career. It has the 8 hardest songs in the game in one setlist and you need to beat it. You can beat it on any difficulty you want you just have to beat it. You'll find this event in Shanghai. | ||||||
![]() | Gold Artist | |||||
| Finished the Endless Setlist 2 in World Tour on Hard | ||||||
Same as Vinyl Artist but now you have to beat it on hard. Play your best instrument and make sure you can play every song on hard. Maybe practice your oranges a bit if your not too comfortable with them. You can fail a song and pause the only requirement is you beat the setlist on hard mode. | ||||||
![]() | The Bladder of Steel Award | |||||
| Completed the Endless Setlist 2 without pausing or failing | ||||||
Alright here's what I suggest you do. Wake up early on a weekend or day off, eat a nice breakfast, GO TO THE BATHROOM and get ready to play Rockband for 7 straight hours no pausing and no failing. PRESSING THE PS BUTTON COUNTS AS PAUSING SO DON'T DO IT! Also another note if your controller runs out of batteries it brings up the pause menu making you miss out on this trophy, so I suggest changing the batteries before playing. This does not have to be done on expert so you can do it on medium. ALL THE ENDLESS SETLIST TROPHIES ARE STACKABLE Meaning if you beat the endless setlist on expert without pausing or failing then you have 4 trophies right there. If you plan on doing this method then make sure you can play Visions if your a drummer, guitarist or bassist. This is arguably the hardest song in the game. If your a vocalist get ready for Tangled Up in Blue its a tough song. PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE. | ||||||
![]() | Platinum Artist | |||||
| Finished the Endless Setlist 2 in World Tour on Expert | ||||||
Alright now this makes you have to master an instrument and be able to beat every song with that particular instrument. Definitely practice the hardest songs for the instrument your using. Drummers, Guitarists and Bassists PRACTICE VISIONS!!!! Make sure you can beat this song this is a hard song and can cause a lot of trouble and guess what its the third to last song so if you cant beat it you just wasted about 7 hours right there. Vocalists practice songs like Tangled Up In Blue and Psycho Killer as they have some pretty tricky vocal parts. | ||||||
