I myself, haven’t had many bad chokes before, but I can recall trying to FC Heathens on Drums, but I missed one note near the end, and I didn’t even get GS. It didn’t matter though, because I already FC’d it.
A few years ago, I was browsing the music store and one of my brothers saw “I Will Not Bow” by Breaking Benjamin, and asked me to buy it. So I went ahead and did so, and decided to try playing it. I almost sightread FC’d it, but missed the very last note. After that, it took two years of casual playing of the song to finally actually FC the thing (at the time I didn’t care one bit about FC’s, though recognized how awesome it would have been to sightread FC that song).
Attempted the endless setlist on Rock Band 2 (Expert Guitar) and also went for an achievement where you don’t pause, disconnect or fail a song through the entire 6 hours of gameplay
Ended up failing the third last song in the setlist (freaking Visions) blowing the achievement away. I could probably do it now since that was years ago and i’m better at the game but still.
was about to fc one big holiday after choking the intro 12 times, when i missed the outro cymbal roll, right before the slow down. i never played the song again
Going for the 5 star roundabout goal. was going so well then when it went into a long empty section, I twitched my knee and it set off my overdrive. I missed the 5th star by a few points. I was so mad and have never come that close since
Choked on Roundabout (expert pro drums) THREE times in the yellow roll after the bridge. I stopped playing that song.
Missed only one note on Llama expert guitar too because I was too nervous… it happened twice.

Same damn thing here. Damn Visions.
Countless sightread guitar FCs on songs where there’s a break before the last note because I had already dropped my guitar before it.
My worst chokes:
Custom: Cattle Decapitation – Lifestalker (D): Choked outro blast
RBN: A t o m – Shake (D): Missed terrible roll at the end by one note
RBN: Not Above Evil – The Duel (D): Missed before the outro
RBN: Ultra Vomit – Mountains of Maths (D): Missed the second after the outro
RB4: Avenged Sevenfold – The Stage (D): Overhit after the giant break
RBN: Nothing More – Fat Kid (V): Pixel missed the second to last phrase
RB4: Red Chord – Hour of Rats (Brutal D): Missed outro
RBN: The Faceless – XenoChrist (D): Missed right after the trippy break
RBN: Veil of Maya – Namaste (D): Made it past “Trippy Part 2A” and choked after
Custom: Dethklok – Bloodlines (D): Somehow missed after the giant blast
RB3: Queen – Bohemian Rhapsody (V): Missed the third to last phrase
RB4: Soul Remnants – Dead Black (Heart of Ice) (D): Missed seconds before the outro riff
Custom: Juulan by Devin Townsend (V): Missed around the outro
RB2: Jethro Tull – Aqualung (D): Stupidly overhit the ending
RB3: Opeth – Ghost of Perdition (D): Reversed choked the beginning and FC’ed the rest
RBN: Chaotrope – Dystopia (D): Missed the second trippy kicks before the outro.
RBN: Chaotrope – XIV (D): Missed somewhere at the end of the drum solo
Custom: The Mars Volta – Cassandra Gemini (V): Missed before the long break
Custom: Gojira – The Gift of Guilt (D): Overhit during the fadeout
RB3: The Jimi Hendrix Experience – If 6 Was 9 (Drum Solo) (D): Didn’t double stroke properly and missed two notes on Drum Solo C
I could name a lot more if I can remember anymore but these are my worst (imo).
Not a choke* per se…
Back in Rock Band 2 I was doing the Expert Drums Endless Setlist (for the Platinum Icon) while also going for the Iron Bladder achievement (beat the endless setlist without pausing or failing a song). I was on the second to last song I believe (Panic Attack is last I think; I was on Peace Sells).
During the poly-rhythmic section at the end of the song….. my kick pedal broke. I had Ions so it was that stock metal petal things they ship with. The bar that clicks down the trigger inside just snapped. Broke right off. Hitting the pedal did nothing. Kicks were worth WAYYYYY to much Crowd meter to manage without, and I failed seconds from the end of the song. I had the stock RB kit pedal on the ready (since I was in the process of getting a double bass box) and if I could have only beat that song I would have had enough time in between that and Panic Attack starting to swap them out real quick.
I believe in frustration I got up and just turn my console off. Stopped playing for a month or so. I never ended up going back for either of those (icon or achievement). 6.5 hours was just too long to do again.

Dang Synth, you choked on Cassandra Gemini? That must’ve been very painful.
