Who says you have to use the plastic controllers that come with the game, anyway?
I have never played Rock Band for fear that I will be forced to sing. Whether or not this woman shares my timorous thoughts on the game remains to be seen, however she has found a pretty nifty way out of having to sing or practice flute.
The musical maiden (who goes by the name of MsFrizzyHair) figured out that you can play musical instruments into the Rock Band microphone and it would pick it up. Switched reports the girl scoring a 98-percent with a 22-phrase streak and four gold stars by using her flute in lieu of the vocals for Avenged Sevenfold's Afterlife.

Ian Anderson would be proud

Jesus Christ man, she's like 14. Pedo.
One time in band camp...

Fukkin scum bag, die slow!
Imagine if there were NO fake plastic instruments for the game and EVERYTHING had to be mic'ed like this. Or imagine if there was at least an option for such a thing.
this one time at band camp.....
I loved this, i also saw her smashing pumpkins one and it sounds sweet.
what i want to know is can she play the skin flute also?...
hahahahaha OWNED
Calm down guys! Just a story pointing out that other instruments can be used in the game. If I could play an instrument good enough to try, I'd go for it. Wonder if a real guitar would work?
Jesus Christ man, she's like 14. Pedo.
Her youtube profile says she is 22, so while he is not a pedo, the comment is still inappropriate.
I do think she is very beautiful though.
Her youtube profile says she is 22
Whew, well in that case hummers all around!
She doesn't know how she discovered it? Is this marketing viral tosh then???
I can't say I'm into classical music all that much but this must be so easy for her compared to the complexity and skill needed for that music. Next up classical band on the 360!
what i want to know is can she play the skin flute also?...
What I want to know is can you be more mature than a freaking 12 year old?
Nerd chicks ROCK!
So.... Slow day in the news?
That was beautiful, honestly. When she was hitting the chorus of the song, I was left in awe. Way to go, girl!
But can she play Crysis?
(I think I've got that catchphrase out of my system now)
That's cool, the system has no way of check for correct singing lyric anyway. I bet you can just hum properly.
I would assume you could do the same thing with guitar, however it would only be for the vocal track. That's too bad, I can easily play a real guitar better than the controllers. I'd like to see that option available someday.
Should be no problem since they put out about 3-4 guitar hero games a year now.
yeah thats actually five gold stars.
shes quite good at playing the flute, considering that the vocal section is really only based on tone and pitch, this makes perfect sense.
such a quality song by the way, sounds good on the flute too.
Well this isnt the first time real instruments have been used in rock band checkout this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0JwwQNZdT_A
He has hooked up his drumkit to his pc and made a program to convert the beats he plays into controller signals which he then sends to his xbox. Skip to halfway through to see him in action
That was entertaining, thank you Jane.
Now, how about some dragonforce on a flute? =D
I've always said that playing real instruments was better than those crappy controllers. Maybe in a generation or two we'll have the option to use real instruments officially supported by the developers. I'd totally buy that!
Wow! flute-hero after this LoL
That is.... very awesome.
lol wow, this is awesome. Great find, and she's really talented with the flute.
the next innovation in beat games will be to support this for all instruments while supporting the simpler music.

I find this more imressive but she's a cute band geek so she ultimately wins...
I agree that using a real guitar or bass would be much cooler than the lame controllers. I played that game one time and when I figured out it in no way resembled actually playing an instrument, I was out. The drum part and vocal part are at least realistic but it would be awesome if you had to actually use a real guitar and bass for those parts. I would just punish my friends who don't actually know how to play real instruments, plus it would make for some fun practice.
what song is this?
