JRabes

JRabes (real name Jacob Rabin) started charting in 2007, in order to make his own custom Guitar Hero 2. His first public chart was released in April 2008, onto the original version of Chorus, Score Hero. His first chart was given a review of “my blind 12 year old son could chart better than you,” so he knew he was really good at it. In a different turn of events to most of the other charters at the time, around 2009 he moved from GH to Rock Band. After learning how to properly tempo map and place notes, Jacob moved to focusing on drum charting and the new fad and shiny introduction, RBN. After charting for RBN from 2010 until it’s closure, he moved to the Rock Band customs community. It was around this time that he changed his username from [REDACTED] to Jake. He officially moved to charting through C3, and making full band/full difficulty charts because he “hates himself.” After an incident involving one of his charts being shamelessly ctrl+x'd, he changed his username once again to JRabes, and came back to the GH community. JRabes marked his return with a bang. And when I write bang, I don’t mean a good one. I mean like that bang when you’re at a grocery store getting some Mountain Dew Baja Blast and outside you hear three cars collide and a child crying. That kind of bang. He made A Song for Acai. The world was never the same. Then he made a 26 minute medley and somehow the world got worse than worse.

Outside of charting, JRabes also has three degrees: a bachelor’s degree in Film Editing, an associates degree in US History, and an associates degree in Songwriting/Production which he’s working on turning into a bachelor’s degree. JRabes has been in the music industry since he was a child, and his first focused band, Crazy Generation, was signed to a record label when he was just 12 years old. During and after his senior year of high school, JRabes played drums and toured the US in the punk band, Dejected. Dejected were also signed to a record label based out of NJ.

Today, JRabes makes music under his own name and released his first full length solo album, Crimson Epoch, in 2020. An album which features the song Gone, from the critically acclaimed* Clone Hero. He also fronts punk/grunge band Coolridge, who are known for singing almost exclusively about love, partying, depression, and 90s teen sitcoms. JRabes has featured on music by Instant Reality, Aeon Bridge, Thousand Sun Sky, Shoobies, Calvary Crew, Collapse, Lost Reason, Heart-Ache, and has worked with musicians such as Joe Stump, Rasmus Bom Andersen, Fraser Edwards, Raff Sangiorgio, Tom Monda, Jamie Jordan, Nick Mendez, Nikki Simmons, Pat Erson, and Dustin and Jared Knapik. He also was previously a member of Forest Puppies and Peach Creek as their drummer. He currently performs live guitar with Necrogarden.

Outside of music, JRabes has done multiple roles in voice acting that includes work with Machinima, Rooster Teeth, The Backyardigans (yes he really did), and other lesser known productions. He also ventured out as a professional wrestler (under the name Jason Waves) when he started his training in 2012, and did some behind the scenes work with WWE NXT and other programs including Sportscenter. He also builds guitars in his spare time.

He also enjoys cooking, here’s a recipe for an easy homemade Italian Dressing:
1 cup mayonnaise
2/3 cup vinegar
5 tb. lemon juice
1 tb. water
2/3 cup parmesan cheese
2 teaspoons oil
1 teaspoon each of marjoram, oregano, parsley, thyme, basil, rosemary, garlic
Salt and pepper to taste
