Rock Band 2 – The Bachman-Turner Award (achievement unlocking)


This achievement troubles some people. Here’s a surefire way to get it. The unlock method is to keep Overdrive deployed for at least 90 seconds. The best song I found to try this on is The Kill, which is a downloadable song. Use it roughly where I use it, then have your partner use it when you’re about to run out (which might be a while if you both keep getting unison bonuses). Any combination of difficulties can be used, but the lower the difficulty, the easier it will be to hit the OD phrases. This song is the easiest for those with only one other person that knows how to play. If you can get a 3- or 4-person band, almost any song can be used. One song (“Sorry”, by Guns n’ Roses) can be used in single player. One other note is that this cannot be done in Score Duel or Tug of War. It must be in a band or single player. This song is downloadable content. One other note. My icon is silver because I completed the Endless Setlist 2 on Expert (in addition, I got the Bladder of Steel achievement in the same run). 08/31/10 update: To be honest, I’m surprised this has over 24k views.

    @ChodeZilla33Overdrive drains too quickly in most of those bands’ songs. This song is one of the easiest ones to get the achievement on with two people due to how slowly OD drains. Besides, people might download this song if they like it.

  2. ChodeZilla33 says:

    why would anyone download this song cant you get it in a maiden or megadeth or ATR song

  3. Groudon0199 says:

    @0LD5CHOOL1) I point out “Sorry” in the description. 2) . . . of course Expert isn’t too much for me. I have a platinum guitar icon, which I wouldn’t have if Expert was “too much” for me.

  4. 0LD5CHOOL says:

    wrong best song for it would be “im sorry” from. . . . i forgot, doesnt matter, cuz ur able to do it by urself. . . of course you gotta play on expert. . . i hope grouden, expert isnt to much for you, since you play the kill on middle

  9. Geno2004 says:

    boshman. . . nice

  10. Groudon0199 says:

    Except for one song (listed in the description), you need at least one other person.

  11. epic2515 says:

    Do you have to get this playing with someone or can you do it by yourself?

  12. cargodudeMT says:

    wow, this is the last achievement i need in the game. I just finished The ESL2 on Expert, and ive tried this many times with 3 and 4-player bands. I don’t think I can get this without buying The Kill.

  13. Groudon0199 says:

    This video was made before the NXE update, which is why you see the old interface.

  14. hiPlasma says:

    your xbox graphical user interface. it’s not green and lame. it’s the old system reffered to as the ‘blades’. There was a forced update quite a while ago. I was wondering how you had the old system still

  15. Groudon0199 says:

    Um. . what?

  16. hiPlasma says:

    how did you still have the blades GUI?

  17. runefreak623 says:

    TY soooooo MUCH

  18. RBDLCAnnouncements says:

    Bachman-Turner OVERDRIVE :D

  19. Groudon0199 says:

    It’s possible on Dani California, though I’m pretty sure you need at least 3 people.

  20. YouHaveMetYourMaker says:

    i swear on dani california and livin on prayer ive gotten over 1 minute, idk 90 seconds

  21. Groudon0199 says:

    You can if you want to. However, you can’t if you’re going for the Bladder of Steel achievement. No pausing of any kind for that one.

  22. ewhatts says:

    Ostend’s in the set list 2 Can you disconect the controller to pause??

  23. twinblade63 says:

    oh ya. . . we paused quite a bit. . . k thanks for replying so quickly lol

  24. Groudon0199 says:

    You need to complete the Endless Setlist 2 without pausing or failing.

  25. twinblade63 says:

    hey i did the endless setlist 2 about a week ago but i didnt get the achievement you mentioned “Bladder of Steel”. can u tell me what that achievement requires?
