With the death of Guitar Hero, the song that launched a thousand YouTube videos makes the leap to Rock Band 3. DragonForce’s “Through the Fire and Flames” hits on March 29, with Pro Guitar and Pro Bass support. Ouch.
Danny Johnson, Wednesday, set a new world record in Guitar Hero III, not only toppling the previous record set last August in Minnesota, but also landing a story in the New York Times.
Bear witness, ladies and gentlemen, to one man’s triumph over Dragonforce’s Through The Fire and Flames on expert, hitting every single note to achieve a score of 987,786 and 100%. Youtube user iamchris4life has been uploading videos of his performances for quite some time now, to the point where people were faking videos of him completing TTFAF, but this one is for real. Watching this makes my hands ache.
Be warned, Chris uses some strong language at the end of the run, but he damn well earned it. Thanks everyone for sending in the tip!
