I know some of you have it but I've only seen a few scant conversations here or there about it. I figured we can discuss it more in detail because I'm interested. I required it not too long ago from K-Man, I traded with him and got both Guitar Hero games and 2 guitar controllers for the PS2. Anyway I wanted to know how good have you guys gotten. I'm working my way slowly into it. I managed to get pretty decent at medium difficulty, actually I can play through all songs pretty easily on medium, theres like 1 or 2 I can't five star yet on the last tier. Now I'm finally stepping up to hard. Man the learning curve on this difficulty is much more steep. On GH2, I can't even finish but one song on the first tier, however on GH1 I managed to beat it. Its just shifting down to that last fret button fucks my bearings up on my fingers. Sometimes I can nail some more complex stuff, but then it'll get simple again and I'll start fucking up because I'll think my first finger is on the green fret button. Gah, is mind twisting!
-
Pretty sure I've sort of talked about my experiences before, but they're brief, so I'll reiterate.
I don't own them, but they're lots of good quality fun. Played them a good bit at my friend's house. He and I are both guitarists, so the only thing we ever play on is expert. I haven't actually tried any of the other settings. Usually I get like halfway through a song and lose, but a few of the ones I know a little better that don't have outrageous solos I can get through nearly all the way. I managed to complete like one or two, but I can't remember which ones.
I'd love to get it and play more, but... money. Plus I have a real guitar that calls to me and kicks my ass for not playing enough.
-
I own both for the PS2 and love them. I've gotten the first game 100% 5 starred on all difficulties except for the last 6 or 7 songs. The second one I'm still having difficulty on Expert, I'm just stuck on Psychobilly Freakout, but I've only tried like 4 or 5 times, I should go back to it soon. It really pisses me off because I know I can do YYZ, Hangar 18, and Misirlou on Expert. I think its just because I don't know the song well enough or something. I'll probably go back to it after I finish Prey unless I get Odin Sphere later this week. Also, Pyro on the 2nd game, hammer ons and pull offs are your friends.
-
Yea, I'm cruising through GH1 on hard. When it started to get tough, I retried the first tier on GH2... and its fucking hard as hell. Damnit, it's like GH2 tier 1 is equal to GH1 tier 5.
-
Apparently Activision announced some songs for GHIII, here they are:
"Barracuda" - Heart
"Cherub Rock" - Smashing Pumpkins
"Cult of Personality" - Living Colour
"Knights of Cydonia" - Muse
"My Name is Jonas" - Weezer
"Paint It, Black" - The Rolling Stones
"Rock and Roll All Nite" - Kiss
"Sabotage" - Beastie Boys
"School's Out" - Alice Cooper
"Slow Ride" - Foghat
"The Metal" - Tenacious D
Some of those songs are cool, but god damn do I hate Tenacious D. That Beastie Boys song will be interesting to play though. They could have picked a better Smashing Pumpkins song too. Here's the whole article for anyone interested (http://www.kotaku.com/gaming/breaking/tenacious-d-wireless-hits-next-guitar-hero-262809.php)
-
Yeah, I gotta' say that list would make me pretty unhappy. The Heart tune and the Stones tune are all right, and it's hard to hate Foghat even if that song is overplayed, but... I'll be damned if I'm ever going to support KISS being involved in anything. Fucking worst band to ever walk the face of the earth. The other stuff I don't like that much, don't think is appropriate, or in the case of the Muse tune, I don't know.
-
I keep hoping, that they will make a strictly metal version of Guitar Hero, since they are making a strictly 80's version for the PS2. I don't see that happening though since Activision and MTV own the franchise now, the 80's version is probably just being made because of all the retarded 80's nostalgia going on right now.
-
Yeah. I'd give anything for a straight death metal GH. I'd find the money for that if it happened... but it won't. It just won't.
-
What the heck are hammer-ons and pull-offs?
-
To hammer-on you're basically playing a string without picking it. You're just coming down hard on it with your finger so that the note rings out. To pull off, it's the opposite. You're just pulling your finger off the string in such a way that the string plays without you picking it.
-
I'm slowly working my way through Expert...
right now I suck though. My strategy is pretty much to save up star power until the inevitable fast solo, at which point I activate it and hope it lasts long enough to get me through, all while blindly stabbing at some of the notes and hoping to get out of the red.

Since there are no strings on the GH2 controller, how does one perform this as TheOtherBelmont suggests? This is a serious question. I suck at hard mode. I can't beat "Mother" for the life of me. I get 95% of the way through and then the end toasts me.

On the 2nd game there is a tutorial on both hammer ons and pull offs. Its a weird thing to get used to but it helps out a lot on the later songs on Hard and Expert difficulty and just solos in general.

This is how most people first get through some of the songs on Expert, I know I sure as hell did. Like I said earlier, do the hammer ons and pull offs tutorial (on the 2nd game) and get used to doing it and it makes the crazy solos a little more bearable.
-
It's basically just pressing or letting off of the button at the right moment without flicking the switch.
-
Pretty much what Que said.
If you look carefully you'll see that some of the notes have a black outline, whereas some of them don't.
The ones that don't have the black outline you don't have to strum for, you can just press the fret (coloured) button at the right time.
-
Oh yeah I never did the tutorial. But I've never noticed the black outline before.
-
Mother is such an out of place song. It shouldn't be a first tier song at all.
Also, I challenge any of you at this game.
-
I am trying to get a hold of the 360 version but have had no luck finding it yet.
-
You know the most hardest thing about Guitar Hero is? If you get really frustrated at a song, you pretty much have to give up, because the game is practically impossible when you play pissed off. At least I can't do it. If a song starts to really get to me, I have to stop playing it move on to a different song. I found out when I'm relaxed is when I'm at my best. I've even discovered that not playing for a little while and coming back to the game, I'm like twice as good. I stopped playing the game for a couple weeks and found the medium difficulty mostly a cakewalk, so I stepped up to hard and I'm actually doing really well on GH1.
Also, playing the game while drunk is super awesome. :D
-

Hah, yup, no doubt. I'm a lot mellower and less likely to get frustrated, which is no good.
I'm still pretty crappy at this game, but it's a hell of a lot of fun. I beat it on medium, but I'm working towards five stars on easy and medium before I start on hard. I'm sort of dreading that fifth fret.
-
Yes!!! I beat the first tier on GH2!! The song that was killing me was Woman, its insane. But with a little luck at randomly pressing buttons in a sloppy skillful manner I did it.

Yeah, I'm the same way. I'll probably get through Psychobilly Freakout on Expert if I go back to it and try a few more times.
-
I don't think "Woman" is that bad. It's so repetitive.
-
It's just all those runs that make it hard. I can only 3 star it since it's hard to play them all on a single streak. But pretty much every song in the next few tiers is easy to 4 or 5 star.
-
Have you ever came up to a hard ass solo, and somehow, you magically hit a good portion of it right? Almost like you let your fingers take control and they somehow hit the buttons accordingly for a few seconds? Then you get the most badass feeling ever. Yea... that just happened.
-
Yeah, definitely. I don't even realize how I'm doing it.
-
Jordan on Expert can kiss my ass
-
Jordan on Expert can kiss my ass
Hahaha yeah, that song is brutal, probably one of the hardest if not the hardest song on the whole damn game.
-
It's so much fun to play though! (until 51%)

Wow...Makers of Guitar Hero donate $2000 to help fansite. (http://74.208.9.140/forum/viewtopic.php?t=11046&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=165)
edit: Post #3,200 for me :P
-
Sweet news -- for the fansite, of course...
...Oh, And for Pug's post count.
-
Just beat Psychobilly Freakout on Expert... and surprisingly, it wasn't as hard as I thought it'd be. There are a lot of easier segments in the middle where you can get the rock meter back in the green, and Star Power helps you get through many of the crazy bits.
I can't seem to beat any of the songs in the final tier, though. Beast and the Harlot is pretty easy until around 75%, where it all goes to hell, every time. Even with Star Power. The annoying thing is that I always die one note away from the long slow notes. It's happened like four times in a row now.
-
So I traded in that faulty MP3 player I mentioned in the podcast (Some reviews of the stuff on it still coming) and, for only £20 more, managed to get a PS2 with GH2. I played through medium in one sitting, but damn am I not ready to go up to hard yet. I'm a wuss compared to you guys.
I must say that the little dialogues before the final encore amused me greatly.
-
You're gonna' love that thing, Dan. It really won't help with your guitar playing, but it does help with timing to some extent. Also, now you have a PS2, so the next podcast will be relevant to you!
-
True! Though I can't afford any more games. XD
HAving said that, if I see KAtamari...
-
I finally picked this game up today for the 360. Pretty damn fun. I'm currently playing on easy though since I'm just trying to get used to the controls.
-
While I do feel retarded next to you guys playing on hard and expert, I'm currently sitting at 29 5-stars (Including YYZ and Psychobilly Freakout) and 3 bonus 5-stars (Including Jordan, whoo!) on medium. I have 2 100%s, too.
And man, I hate that Avenged Sevenfold song so hard. The start sounds like a Spinal Tap outtake and the choruses sound like a boyband. The drums sound worse that Que's machine, too, though for all I know it's a soundalike and not AS themselves, so that's by the by.
EDIT:
Make that 34 with 3 100s.

I think you are ready for Hard. Also make sure to unlock the bonus songs Thunderhorse, Trogdor, and The Light That Blinds, those are fun and awesome songs.
-
Man, I did start hard, but that extra fret gives me trouble like you would not believe. I bought all the bonus songs, also - I was more interested in those than a new finish for a guitar, you know?
-

Yeah I did the same thing, I bought all the songs first. I remember the jump from Medium to Hard giving me some trouble too on the first game. You could always try the song that's giving you problems at a slower speed in Practice mode until you get used to using the orange fret.
-
i completed medium ages ago, but only really started to attack hard today. i'd tried before, but yeah, the extra fret really kicked my ass. i stuck at it today though and i think i've broken the back of the learning curve. it's still insanely hard, i'm barely scraping through the songs - but it's satisfying to of hopped up to the next difficulty.
the way i did it was to repeat one song over and over (mother) until i finally scraped through. i found it necessary to save star power for the solos too. once i'd managed one song, i got through the next bunch without nearly as much trouble.
-
What he said. I moved up to hard properly today. I'm finding it tough, but possible, so far. My breaking song was Surrender.
-
I've been stuck on Hangar 18 for a week and a half now. It's the only song I have left in Expert (except for Free Bird, of course), and it kills me every time at the exact same spot (84%). I've probably tried it at least 40 times by now. The first "hard" solo I can scrape by using Star Power, but then I've got nothing for the second hard solo which comes a few seconds later.
The song is terrible, too. Once I beat it I'm never playing it again!!
-
The song is terrible, too.
You are dead to me.
-
Hangar 18 is basically a stamina song. If you can learn to play one of those solos without star power then you'll pass it no problem, as long as you don't get tired. Freebird is basically the same way. The song itself is pretty easy, but it's hard not to get a bit tired playing it.
Have any of you played the original Guitar Hero? Hammer-ons/Pull-offs are basically impossible on it, but the songs are much, much better; way more fun to play. Guitar Hero songs with Guitar Hero 2 rules would be perfect
-
You are dead to me.
Honestly, Que, it sounds like somebody is slaughtering a horse with an assortment of power tools :P
If you can learn to play one of those solos without star power then you'll pass it no problem
Maybe true, but that's a rather difficult "if"... Right now I'm having trouble hitting half of the solo notes in practice mode, using the "Slower" speed!

They could easily do it too, if they just released more downloadable song packs...
-
Hangar 18, terrible? That hurts my brain reading that.
Also, I pulled myself away from Odin Sphere for a little bit last night and got past Psychobilly Freakout on Expert on my 2nd try. Now I just have Free Bird, Hangar 18, Misirlou, and Institutionalized left.
-
Sorry, but I hate Hangar 18 too.
-
Sorry, but I hate Hangar 18 too.
Have either you or DrSbiatso heard the original version of the song? The one on Guitar Hero II is a cover so its not quite up to the quality of the original. Rust In Peace is probably Megadeth's best album and my favorite.
-
This may seem ironic, being that I came here due to following Que on FAWM, but I'm really not a fan of metal much at all.
-
Yeah, Natch and I seem to share a good bit of musical stuff in common, but our focuses are different.
I guess it'll just be me, Pyro, and Tet who buy the all death metal guitar hero that will surely come to pass someday.
-
Guitar Hero 80s, though, if that had shit like the Cure? I'd be all over that.
-
I honestly haven't followed that one at all. I'm very much not into the 80s music scene, at least when it comes to what people usually associate with the 80s. I mean, there was plenty of good thrash back then, some interesting indie stuff, and all kinds of burgeoning little genres that blew up later, but I have no idea what's coming to the 80s GH game. Harmonix isn't even doing that one, right? Aren't they like done with the series?
-
No Harmonix, but Activision and Red Octane. It looks bad to me, though, all hair metal bands.
-
I'm generally not into that. I mean, there are a few exceptions, but unless it's good heavy thrash, most of the 80s metal stuff is kinda' meh to me.
-

Same here, most of the 80's shit that's going to be on there is going to be hair bands like Whitesnake, Poison, and some pop rock one hit wonder garbage. I highly doubt there is going to be any good heavy thrash. If anything the 80's Guitar Hero is going to be like an expansion, not a true sequel. The only good that might come out of doing a specific genre is the hope that they will do a strictly metal Guitar Hero in the future.
-
the cure = best. 80's. band. evar. but yeah, they aren't exactly prime candidates for guitar hero. more about the bass lines than the solos.
i've just got past carry on my wayward son. fuck, that song was hard. took me more attempts than any other song so far.
-
carry on my wayward son is awesome, love that song.
and if you look at the tracklist, theres plenty in 80s that isn't hair metal, but I haven't seen any pure metal either. mostly songs with cool riffs, which is all you need in a guitar hero game.
-

The Kiss, man. The Kiss.
Maybe Bloodflowers.
-
I've only started Medium.
-
Does anybody know if there's a wireless guitar controller for the 360 version of this? I really want to buy it, but a wired guitar just isn't happening.
I'm thinking of waiting for GH III
-
Guitar Hero III isn'y made by Harmonix. Theres some videos out showing some features that are absolute shit. I'm not sure how they could mess up a Guitar Hero game, but they've certainly found a few paths.
Anyways, theres wireless guitars for PS2 so there might be some for 360
-
Upon day of release, GH3 for the X360 will get a patch to add a Co-Op Offline Mode to the game. (http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3164008)
Guitar Hero III Patch Adding New Offline Mode
Launch day update includes offline co-op quickplay.
By Patrick Klepek, 10/26/2007
When Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock launches next Tuesday, Activision, Red Octane and Neversoft will also deliver a patch via Xbox Live. The patch apparently enables offline co-op quickplay on the Xbox 360 version, reads a fact sheet delivered to 1UP alongside a review build of the game.
There's no mention of an impending patch for the PlayStation 3 and Wii versions, but we assume they're in the works or already part of the game that will be on shelves next week. We'll be checking with the companies involved and pass on the complete answer Monday.
We've already seen this in the PC world, but patches on the day of launch are a new concept to consoles. Hopefully, this is just a one-time oversight.
-
I've been playing this for PS2 since last night and I'm having a blast, the new features and style to the game are a great addition. The animated cut scenes were a nice surprise that I had no idea about. I finished it on Normal on Career and now I'm playing Co-op Career with my roommate and were having a blast.
-
Knights of Cydonia on Hard totally ruins my ass. Damn. Fun though. I got it for the Wii. And the twangs when you mess up coming from the Wiimote and the vibrating when you use Star Power is a nice little touch. Very fun.
-

That song is so fun on co-op, my roommate and I got through it and 4 starred it on hard, now we are stuck on "One", we got to 99% complete twice and failed. We shall try again tomorrow.
-
The last tier on expert is crazy.
-
A buddy of mine just picked up GH3 yesterday and we ran through co-op on medium to give it all a whirl. It's pretty sweet, and some of those songs are ones you can tell they've been dying to use. I like the increased amount of original recordings, too - also that there are nicely established bands in the bonus songs. Kaiser Chiefs, ferchrissakes.
-
I tried the GH3 demo on the 360. That's my 1st experience ever with GH. It's OK, but I imagine the guitar controller would make it better. The middle difficulty was plenty hard enough for me with the normal controller.
-
It's just not fun at all without a controller. There's no point in playing unless you have one.

8.0 from GameSpot for PS3, X360.
7.5 for PS2 (http://www.gamespot.com/video/939092/6181922/guitar-hero-iii-legends-of-rock-video-review-1)

7.5 for PS2 (http://www.gamespot.com/video/939092/6181922/guitar-hero-iii-legends-of-rock-video-review-1)
I agree with the difficulty about new players picking this up, but not with his comments about the boss battles, I enjoyed the boss battles, they do need some fine tuning but they aren't as bad as he made them seem. 7.5 seems a bit too low and even 8 seems a bit harsh, but whatever, I'm enjoying the game.
-
Yea, 7.5 is a little low, but I can see how no online play can hit that back a little for the PS2. The no quickplay coop mode I could care less for. You have to unlock songs either way, theres really not much difference between quickplay and career in the first place, I barely do quickplay in the other 2 games anyway. Boss battles seems to be the big debate, I think they sound cool from what you told me Tet. Im still really wanting it.
-
Dragonlor and I FINALLY got through career co-op mode on hard, "One" is so god damn hard, I didn't feel too bad when I was reading that other people were hitting the same brick wall we were on that song, I don't even want to know how ridiculous it is going to be on Expert.
One of my main complaints about this game though, is that pretty much all of the bonus songs you have to buy in the shop suck ass, I only like maybe two of them, but nothing really special like on the first two games. The main set list more than makes up for that though.
-
Fuck "One" on guitar hero III. We had to actually pause the game two times during it just to rest. But other then that the game from what I have played is pretty awesome. Once I get the version I want for the Wii I be able to experience the boss battles and shit myself. I don't want to ruin that by playing Belmont's PS2 copy.
-
So I picked up GH3 today, gonna put some serious time into tonight. I really shouldnt have picked this up because I cant really afford it but I blame Belmont for all of it.
-
Went through my first boss battle. I thought it was going to be hard, but it really didnt take much to beat it. Kinda fun though since your just kinda free form rockin with Tom Morello. We'll see how the later challenges get.
-
The battle with Slash was tougher. And a little bit cheap. You've got to be a little more conservative with using your battle powerups when duelling him.
-
Alright, theres some good songs on here, but some absolute fucking awful ones. "Kool Thing" by Sonic Youth is just atrocious, I could barely get passed that trash, not because it was hard, but because I got so bored with it. And then next up is a Weezer song, fucking yay!
-
Well, so far yes, Im having a lot of fun with it as Im done for tonight. I do have an issue with it however. The Slash boss battle was sucky, it just got damn frustrating, actually Hoobs advice saved me in the end. I hate repeating songs too much, which is where I pretty much quit, but its different with boss battles. Its takes a little more luck than Id like with this. The powerups are random and some are just useless. Normally you feel accomplished after finishing a song, but with this, even if you do awesome, you can still lose. But probably the biggest issue I have with the game is its difficulty, well maybe not the difficulty, but the more forgiving song playing when hitting notes. Is it just me or can you get by when playing much more sloppier? Either I've gotten really fuckin good or its been more merciful on some solos I get by on. Im really not sure. Oh well, I still got the other half of the game to finish, so theres much harder shit to get through.
-
Is it just me or can you get by when playing much more sloppier? Either I've gotten really fuckin good or its been more merciful on some solos I get by on. Im really not sure.
No its not that you can play sloppy, the hammer ons and pull offs just work better, just wait until you get to the later tiers on hard and expert is beast all in its own. Also on the boss battles, you have to wait for the right moment to use at least 2, preferably 3 powerups kind of spaced apart on a harder part of the song where there is numerous notes, I beat the last boss that way on my first try. I think some people and reviewers are having so much difficulty with the boss battles because they are going balls to the wall and just using powerups when they first get them and trash the boss battles because they aren't a little more patient.
-
I am stuck on 3 songs on Hard Career: Number of the Beast by Iron Maiden, One by Metallica, and the Slayer song.
I'll probably get Number of the Beast here pretty soon. The Metallica and Slayer songs are seriously fucking impossible. I always fail Slayer at 36% and always fail Metallica at 85%. It's inevitable. Grrrr
-
To reiterate, Slash is an asshole.
And playing Through the Fire and the Flames made my fingers melt.
-
Number of the Beast has been downed.
I hate these other two songs, though.
-
Yeah Slayer and Metallica right now are the brick walls for a lot of people. Those two songs are just retarded.
-
I just lost One on expert two times at 98%. the last little bit is really easy too, my arm just got tired and my hand slipped. *disgruntled* I tihnk I can 4 star it, the song isn't that hard. All the other ones in the last tier are pretty much impossible though.
edit: beat it. 86% which is reasonable but only 3 stars :(
-
Well I believe tier 7 is my stopping point. Ive never seen such a bad line up of four shitty ass songs that arent worth my effort. They are hard as balls, and my sloppy playing can't win through this. I guess Ill just go through medium difficulty to unlock the rest.
-
For fun on face-off I played Through The Fire And Flames on expert. I got 55% notes hit which, while no passing score, I am proud of.
-
Confusion: How can you play cooperative (guitar and bass) with the whole track list? I've unlocked nearly everything in my single player game save, but even in the co-op game(where I have played through about half with 2 players, each playing hard) if anyone picks a different difficulty than the ones originally chosen and with which the songs were beaten, it goes back to 0 songs played and you only have the first 4 songs to choose from.
And in multiplayer, there is only Face Off, Pro Face Off, and Battle mode.
What gives? I want to be able to play coop when random people come over and have different abilities and play on different difficulty levels. It's going to be really fucking lame when they have 4 songs to chose from in cooperative mode.

That was some kind of oversight to the PS2 version, the Gamespot review covers it I think. You're going to have to go through Career Co-op for each difficulty set list you want to unlock. It's kind of lame, I've remedied it by going through Career Co-op with Dragonlor on Hard, we now can do all of the songs Co-op by going into our Co-op band profile and play any song we want on that difficulty, and we are going to cruise through Medium and Easy for other people that come over and want to play Co-op. If you got the 360 version and I think the PS3 version there's some kind of patch that fixes it, not sure about the Wii version, but yeah it was a dumb oversight.

God. That is so stupid. So, so fucking stupid.
Would doing the all songs cheat thing help? I didn't even know there were codes for Guitar Hero until I started looking around, but I guess there is one that unlocks all songs. I guess I'll try that after I finish One and the Slayer song (IE never. Hah).

I have no idea about the cheat thing. Out of curiosity, are you playing One on Hard or Expert?
Also, Pyro get through Tier 7 man, its worth it. The next tier has some great songs. Go into Practice mode if you have to, it helps.

Alright, I did what you said and managed to beat it. The Queens of the Stone Age and the Slipknot songs were killing me. I finally got to play "One", its a total asshole. You think your doing good in all in the beginning, which isnt too hard at all, but then the fuck fest comes. The major problem I hit is the same as the slayer song. They'll throw 3 frets at you in a fast succession and do it again and again, its so fast all I can do is hopelessly hit frets and strum. I wonder if I am better off not playing at all....

Remember - whether you think you can, or you think you can't - you're right.

I just got 99% on One. I got so excited that I was going to beat it that my hands started shaking like crazy and I couldn't strum. I seriously had maybe 5 seconds of song left.
Fuck that song.

Apparantly, the PC version rocks...
...as long as you got the hardware to run it.

I don't know if anyone saw this, but I saw the box at my local BB store this past weekend -- the PC version requires a GF 7600 as a bare minimum for a vid-card......

People play the PC version?

Not all of us own consoles around here, y'know...
Some are full-fledged PC gamers...

The Romantics are suing Activision over Guitar Hero Encore: Rock The 80's, since there's a song and band in the game that they feel are just like them. (http://www.gamespot.com/news/6183323.html?part=rss&tag=gs_news&subj=6183323)
The Romantics sue Activision
New wave band not happy about the inclusion of a songalike and bandalike in Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks the 80s.

Michigan band The Romantics, most famous for tunes What I Like About You, and Talking In Your Sleep has filed a federal lawsuit against Activision.
The group, which is still together and performing its hits today, was formed on Valentine's Day, 1977--hence the name The Romantics--and is objecting to its likeness and an "imitation" of one of its songs being used in Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks the 80s.
The lawsuit reads, "The imitation of the plaintiffs on the defendant's video game is virtually indistinguishable from the authentic version."
The legal paperwork alleges that permission was not sought to create a soundalike of the band's most famous song, and that many fans believe that the Guitar Hero version is the real deal. The Romantics are claiming unspecified damages.
According to the Detroit Free Press, the band's attorney has said that copyright is not the issue, since Activision secured permission for a cover version through the proper channels. Attorney William Horton said, "It's a very good imitation, and that's our objection. Even the guys in the band said, 'Wow, that's not us, but it sure sounds like us.'" He added, "The sales of this game are huge. We're all for good commerce. We just want to share in it."
If the case is successful, Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks the 80s could get pulled from store shelves.

Well its just down to One... I beat all the others on the last tier, yes, even the Slayer song. I just need to build endurance.
-
So I finally beat Hangar 18 on expert last night. Late to the party, perhaps. Happy, yes.
-
I love that song.
-
My current greatest accomplishment is beating Dragonforce's Through Fire and Flames on Hard.

I'm the opposite, One is the only song on the last tier I can beat. It also happens to be the only song in Guitar Hero 3 I enjoy playing.
