The best part is that there's no way to reproduce the Official Studio version. The "guitar scratch" at the very end was Herman's E-string snapping mid-note! The producer liked the effect so much they kept it.
The Devil went down to Georgia was the actual final boss battle in GH3. A guitarist by the name of Steve Ouimette made a hard rock/heavy metal version of the song in which the the fiddle parts of the song or played using an electric guitar. Y’all should look up the GH3 final boss battle. DragonForce Through the Fire and Flames was DLC but was indeed the hardest song to beat and Xbox 360 had an achievement for beating it on expert called The Inhuman Achievement.
not only was it a DLC song but you got to sample it for yourself in the end credits after defeating the final boss. all in all I miss the golden age of Guitar Hero games where when you beat the game you were given the option to play along with the end credits song while the end credits were rolling.
There were no DLCs back in the day it was the "encore" song, it was the song after the boss battle, the guitarist played atop of a mountain of amps and stuff.
Def not dlc, neither of those songs are in the dlc list, it was always at the bottom of the main song list, Trust me I spent countless hours trying to beat that song, good times.. good times
They're still pretty great live. It's just the singing that might seem off at times at this point, but even then, Marc is still fine. I never witnessed them back then, but the Horrors of Grasspop '09 are long gone
If they want a live reaction they should do Fury of the storm cause the pan the camera away in the solos in fire and flames live, but fury of the storm you see it all and it’s epic
Just getting ready to say this. Just remember, no matter how good you are at something, somewhere there's a 12-year-old Japanese kid that can do it better. lol
I'd love to see you guys react to Nightwish - Ghost Love Score live at Wacken. They are a symphonic metal band and is definitely something different than other metal you reacted to. Also, I love that you guys threw in the Guitar Hero version as well.
Yes!!! Nightwish is my absolute favorite! I have asked them a few times to check out Nightwish... maybe they will soon since I see several people mentioning them. 🤩🤩🤩
Playing in Guitar Hero hurt me fucking fingers to hell and back and I still never finished the whole track. But the lyrics to this song is still so dear to my heart, whenever I feel like I’m up against a hard thing in life I start humming this song.
Thing is, guys, the "official video" doesn't even have the whole studio solo! If I recall, there was a second part of the solo that wasn't included -- making the whole song at least 7:30 long. And guys, check out Tina S playing this on guitar! She's a freakin' monster on lead! Edit: In case y'all were wondering, how someone gets that good is hundreds, if not thousands of hours of practice, as well as insane pattern recognition. Trust and believe, someone that good? They ain't just gonna pick up GH III and make no mistakes. That dude spent _a lot_ of time playing that game.
Exactly. Me and my friends could all do it on expert, but it was only because we were competitive with eachother and as soon as one could do it on hard, another had to try outdo them by doing it on expert, then another had to get a higher score, etc. ALLL summer long playing the same song over and over just to get better at it than our friends. And if you couldn't beat them at one song you just mastered another and challenged them on that lol.
Definitely one of the best tracks to review for reaction to insane guitar skills.. I'm looking forward to the day you guys discover Nightwish and see Floor's completely INSANE vocal range. . . "Ghost Love Score" is one of the best with a killer ending. 🤘🎸😁
Guitar Hero was my shit, I had them all. Then it died and I hadn't played it for like 8+ years, had a conversation about old games and trends, remembered Guitar Hero and got nostalgic, learned that Clone Hero was a thing and it was popular and growing right now (about 3-4 years ago) and still going strong today. Discovered channels like Acai, UKOGmonkey, JasonParadise, randyladyman. "Through The Fire And Flames" is warmup compare to how insanely difficult songs exists now. Add overcharts, mod charts and so on. They havn't seen anything yet 😈 I play Clone Hero everyday now at 31, and I'm better now than I ever was when I was like 16 and played Guitar Hero religiously. Like I went from struggling hitting 3-5 notes consecutively to comfortable at expert over summer break (ca 9 weeks here) :P
I played drums recreationally and had a dumb little band in middle/high school… I’m now 21 and play drums on Clone Hero and this on drums is still hellacious
Herman Li, the lead guitarist for DragonForce, is a GOD. He's also a good content creator, in the online space. He streams, and uploads a bunch of stuff here on UA-cam, usually on the official DragonForce channel. Edit: also for the Guitar Hero parts, the fast notes are really impressive, of course. But as someone that played a ton back in the day, the most impressive part is being able to hit the slow notes. You can muscle memory and zone in on the fast stuff, it's hard to lock on the slow stuff.
I don't listen to much Dragonforce anymore, but I still listen to "Soldiers of a Wasteland." The Bridge/Solo is one of the best guitar pieces I've ever listened to.
Also agree with you about that bridge! I've always wondered how many other people loved it as much as I did. Just something about it that makes me feel like I'm powering up or something like that lol. And I don't know why, but for some reason the very first time (and every following time) I heard that guitar part, I created this whole epic scene in my head of a marshal/cowboy on horseback riding all alone through the dry desert wasteland on a mission to seek revenge or something lol. Also, it was like an epic 80's/90's movie style montage scene 😂🤷🏻♂
I went to two of their concerts with this lineup on their Fire and the Flames tour. It was the most insane concert, spent the entire time in the wildest mosh pit I have ever experienced - especially with this song. Also the Guitar hero version is the full song- the actual clip (for some weird reason) was cut right back.
You have to react to the GOAT now: Tina S. She has a cover of this that even blew away the lead guitarist Herman Li. Her cover of Beethoven Moonlight Sonata is her best. Her version of For the Love of God is also amazing.
I think what's crazy about Tina S cover is that the guitar solo in this song was DUELING guitars, both Herman Li and Sam Totman, but the track she got had both guitar solos going simultaneously, so she sort of did both parts of the solo BY HERSELF on her one guitar.
HOW DID I MISS THIS VIDEO!!!!!! This was great. My buddy played this on Guitar Hero in college and nailed the 100%. We all got together with some beers and watched him for like 3 hours until he hit it hahahaha
You guys adopt our stuff, well adopt yours, there is no appropriation, we already appreciate each other. This channel has done more to fight racism than any politician in our generation. Rock on cartier Family
Your reactions had me laughing so hard. Starting out headbanging and by the time you were halfway through the song, everyone was just still, staring at the screen with that "wtf is happenning" look lol.
Dragonforce is crazy good.....but if you liked the speed "Power Metal" type of music like this then I can highly recommend checking out Unleash the Archers. A couple good songs to look into are Awakening and Tonight We Ride. Love the reaction guys! Keep it up!
you guys have to experience Babymeta - Road of Resistance (Live in Japan) ... guitar parts are created by Herman Li from Dragon Force. Incredible live perfomance by the japanese band called BabyMetal. Babymetal is composed by 3 young japanese girls and a freaking band called "Kami band" who is mixing power metal and j-pop music. i'm sure that you are not ready for what you're about to see. Clearly one of the best experience in my entire life is watching this video. you have to react on this one
Yes!!! You guys are tasting metal! \m/ I saw Dragonforce years ago in Fort Worth: they play just as fast while deeply imbibing. It was impressive! Metal!!
You guys gotta check out Pantera again. Mouth for War is a good representation of their style (groove metal). Its mid-tempo metal with some swing to it but its still heavy
Groove metal these days is 1000x better than Pantera and Pantera doesn't even sound groovy relative to the current genre. Nor are they heavy like at all in the current day.
My favorite Wii game will always be Starwars the Force Unleashed games. You swung the controller to swing the lightsaber, punched with the nunchuk to force push, had lightning and choke abilities, it was incredible
It always made me smile when rapping FAST started to be one of the ways you measured someone's talent, because we did the same thing with guitar, bass, and drums in the 80s with heavy metal. It was understood that this stuff was hard to play really well, with so many roots in classical music, and if you wanted to really show off, you got yourself able to play really difficult stuff faster than anyone else. Game recognize game, it was the same back then.
Yes the drumming in this song is nuts as well if you wanna see how nuts I'd suggest checking out Junna and her drumming cover of the song legitimately certified as the drummer from dragon force's favourite drum cover of the song
Bros, let me tell you what the difference between every other video and this one was. Y’all had so much respect for the level of musical talent that you didn’t dare pause the utter chaos coming through your ears. I literally aced this ONE TIME on Guitar Hero 2 and it took me about four months and three guitar controllers. It is absolutely nuts.
Lemme tell u a true story about DF. They played in a club in germany , like 15 years ago . I worked in this club that time. The asian guitareplayer (Hermann Li) was so drunk , he couldnt even walk alone. Me and another guy from the club helped him to walk on stage. His bandmembers helped him to get his guitar around his neck. But as soon as he has to play , he did it like he never drink a drop of alcohol. We stood there , our mouth wide open and couldnt believe what we saw.
Nice to find a channel that has variety of quality content, keep it up bros! Also if you want to be mindblown look out for band called Nightwish and floor jansen , you wont regret it!
This song is amazing. The instrumental skill is undeniable but the lyrics are incredible. A true poem brought to song. Read them on their own, sometime.
oh i loved playing this song on guitar hero back in middle school in like 2006, i'm 31 now damn. this song was the last one to play on the game like a final boss.
I remember the first night I played Guitar Hero back in college at a party. I literally didn't care about the beer or girls. I was sold on Guitar Hero because I played guitar. I made my damn fingers bleed that night lol. I bought it the next day and played it for days until I finished the game on expert. My 3 roommates were all going for it as well. I remember 2 of my roommates got stuck on "Cowboys From Hell" while my other roommate and I were stuck on "Bark at the Moon." I finally beat it and screamed through our apartment "BREAK OUT THE BEER! I DID IT!" That game was so addictive.
This is the condensed radio version. The actual song is about 7 and a half minutes long. So yall may want to just watch the lyric video so you can get the full version.
Search for Tina S, if you want to see a 15 year old French girl completely shred both guitar parts of this. It has 30 million views so....yeah it's that good.
Man i remember when this game came out EVERYONE was like "have you unlocked through the fire and flames yet?" "Have you beaten through the fire and flames on x difficulty yet?"
Congrats, you have unlocked Level 2. You're now ready for Tina S.'s cover. Can't wait to watch you leaving the room and coming back in sheer disbelief...
If you guys like hearing AMAZING guitar skills, I seriously reccomend reacting to "TheDoo", he is self taught and been making videos for YEARS, he has an unhinged sense of humor so ill warn you ahead of time. TheDoo had a clip of him playing this song and the guitarist in dragonforce reacted to it, and in his own words said, "that was the best performance of that song ive ever heard". One of the biggest compliments you can get as a guitarist is that one right there
A 20 year old Japanese girl drums to this. She's entertaining as hell. Check out JUNNA drumming to , Through Fire And Flames. She kills it guys. You won't be disappointed.
Having played Guitar Hero 3, I'd say that if you're counting across all difficulty levels (and most people wouldn't), "Raining Blood" actually beats out "Through the Fire and Flames" due to having a less dense but also less predictable pattern. (Also, the first time I played the latter was over the ending credit sequence, where you aren't scored and can't lose, so it just feels epic no matter how bad you are and that feeling kind of carried over to when you can play it normally.)
Lmao im not ready for raining blood when i eventually make it there on my expert run, i had enough of a shit time with on hard, but that probably wont be for a while, Before I Forget is walling me for some reason
Yes, Dragonforce really do play that fast, especially live🔥🔥🤘🤘... and drink a lot of beers in between! The band was formed in the late 90's and debuted in 2003 w/ the album 'Valley of the damned'. Their sound embodies the 'power metal' genre - blazing guitars, fast leads, double bass drumming, high vocals and lyrics about fictional fantasy... The main members of Dragonforce are Herman Li and Sam Totman (guitars)... Z.P. Theart was the original singer... Vadim Pruzhanov was the keyboardist... Dave Mackintosh played drums on this record... This song was from the 3rd Dragonforce album 'Inhuman Rampage' (2005), which sold a half million copies in the US... The band was featured on 'Guitar Hero' video game and that gave Dragonforce a huge profile worldwide... that was followed by the 4th album 'Ultra beatdown' which featured Frederic Leclerqc (bass) joining the band. In 2010, Dragonforce parted ways w/ singer Z.P. Theart and the 'Guitar Hero' game was discontinued. With new vocalist Marc Hudson joining Dragonforce in 2012, the band released the album 'The Power within'... Over the next few years, Gee Anzalone (drums) replaced Dave Mackintosh... keyboardist Vadim Pruzahanov left the band (he was never replaced) and Alicia Vigil (bass) joined recently to replace bassist Frederic Leclercq... Their latest album was the arcade video game themed album 'Extreme power metal' (2019) and Dragonforce are working on a new record. More Dragonforce - 'Valley of the damned'... 'Operation Ground & Pound'... 'Cry Thunder'... 'Three hammers'... 'My spirit will go on'... 'Highway to oblivion' 🤘🤘🔥🔥
Check out Valley Of The Damned, Fields Of Despair, & Once In A Lifetime by them too. DragonForce is considered Power Metal. A lot of the subjects are about different mythologies, vikings, wars, etc. it’s usually uplifting though. You always want to just kick ass after listening to it. Early influences were Dio, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Rainbow, Yngwie Malmsteen, etc. You guys should also check out bands like Gamma Ray, HammerFall, Helloween, Iced Earth, Manowar, Powerwolf, Sabaton, Seven Kingdoms, Unleash The Archers, etc.
A good place to see more great guitarists along with Herman Li is to check out the DragonForce UA-cam chanel. About 2 years ago, he did this big fundraiser for Jason Becker (another guitar virtuoso who can't play anymore due to having ALS). He had a bunch of awesome guest guitarists come on to help raise funds, like: Steve Vai, Tosin Abasi, Jason Richardson, Paul Gilbert, Nita Strauss, Stevie T, etc.
Guitar Hero 3 is actually one of the greatest games of all time. They made this absurd rock arrangement of Devil Went Down to Georgia for the final boss fight and then Through the Fire And Flames for the credits as a reward. It's so epic. There aren't many achievements in gaming as prestigious as beating Guitar Hero 3 on Expert. It's hard as shit. You have to beat every single song.
Devil Went Down to Georgia is on Guitar Hero 3 its the second-to-last song you play before Through the Fire and Flames (which is the credits) its a metal cover by Steve Ouimette, who did the covers for some songs in the GH games i really think you guys should check it out.
I don't know if they were ever on Guitar Hero, but a group you should definitely check out is Beast in Black. Their song "Blind and Frozen" is jaw-dropping.
I know a guy that can play that shit on guitar hero and i saw him do it once, that shit is crazy. It sounded like the guitar is going to break because he was going so hard on it. Impressive stuff.
Guys just to clear smth about "the devil went down to georgia" its in the same game you saw Through the Fire and Flames (Guitar Hero Legends of Rock aka nr3)...but you fight the endboss in the game matching to the song is a devil that you fight so you dont lose your soul.and its equally hard to play as through the fire and flames, there is also a version of the devil went down to georgia bossfight were you play YOUR part and the devils part (DLC)..and no its not the Fiddle Version its an amazing metal version you guys might wanna check that out too if you have the time to react to it, its from Steve Ouimette
The best part is that there's no way to reproduce the Official Studio version. The "guitar scratch" at the very end was Herman's E-string snapping mid-note! The producer liked the effect so much they kept it.
A pair of wire cutters should do the trick

I legitimately love how respectful you are of things you have never seen nor heard before. You guys are class acts
I saw them in concert when this song was current and they were better live. Watching their fingers move in person was unreal.
I wish I could have seen this live. My face would be melting from the cheap seats.
Check a band called Archspire if you have. They play just as fast or even faster. Love this band tho
Alestorm opened for them back in '06 in Amsterdam, that show was crazy good
They're still pretty great live. It's just the singing that might seem off at times at this point, but even then, Marc is still fine. I never witnessed them back then, but the Horrors of Grasspop '09 are long gone
Same here bro! They did Fury of the storm and Through the fire and flames when I went and it was unreal!
you should 100% listen to this live. the energy is insaneeee. most videos are with their new vocalist though not the original who sang in this song
If they want a live reaction they should do Fury of the storm cause the pan the camera away in the solos in fire and flames live, but fury of the storm you see it all and it’s epic
Junna does an amazing drum cover of this song. She's a Japanese drummer

I have been forged in the fires of Jordan on the ps2 version of gh2 since I was 4 (not an exaggeration) and yet i cant beat gh3 on expert. I'm 19 now.
The best guitar cover of this is from Tina S, and she was 16yr at the time. Your minds will be blown.
She was only 15 when it was recorded by her guitar instructor. She turned 16 a couple months later.
No cole rolland is. I get that she was young, but that doesn't mean she is better.

“It’s the solo, I’m sorry.” That had me laughing my ass off.
Misfits - Last Caress, Astro Zombies or Hybrid Moments 🤝🏻
Black people rocking out to metal is the healing energy the world needs right now.
Your faces while listening are fantastic - have no idea what you are thinking!
I love the right guy's constant expression of awe and "the fck is even happening here?" :D
My man in the grey hoodie smiling like he just fell in love. I should learn his name, he's my favourite of the bunch. Always good vibes.
I first heard them on “Regular Show” during the episode when Pops is training his superpowers during a montage “No Train, No Gain.” Very intense!
Bros, let me tell you what the difference between every other video and this one was. Y’all had so much respect for the level of musical talent that you didn’t dare pause the utter chaos coming through your ears. I literally aced this ONE TIME on Guitar Hero 2 and it took me about four months and three guitar controllers. It is absolutely nuts.
Lemme tell u a true story about DF.
They played in a club in germany , like 15 years ago .
I worked in this club that time.
The asian guitareplayer (Hermann Li) was so drunk , he couldnt even walk alone. Me and another guy from the club helped him to walk on stage.
His bandmembers helped him to get his guitar around his neck.
But as soon as he has to play , he did it like he never drink a drop of alcohol.
We stood there , our mouth wide open and couldnt believe what we saw.
Nice to find a channel that has variety of quality content, keep it up bros!
Also if you want to be mindblown look out for band called Nightwish and floor jansen , you wont regret it!
This song is amazing. The instrumental skill is undeniable but the lyrics are incredible. A true poem brought to song. Read them on their own, sometime.
This song and Killswitch Engage got me into metal. 🤘🏾🔥🔥🔥
oh i loved playing this song on guitar hero back in middle school in like 2006, i'm 31 now damn. this song was the last one to play on the game like a final boss.
I remember the first night I played Guitar Hero back in college at a party. I literally didn't care about the beer or girls. I was sold on Guitar Hero because I played guitar. I made my damn fingers bleed that night lol. I bought it the next day and played it for days until I finished the game on expert. My 3 roommates were all going for it as well. I remember 2 of my roommates got stuck on "Cowboys From Hell" while my other roommate and I were stuck on "Bark at the Moon." I finally beat it and screamed through our apartment "BREAK OUT THE BEER! I DID IT!" That game was so addictive.
This is the condensed radio version. The actual song is about 7 and a half minutes long. So yall may want to just watch the lyric video so you can get the full version.
Search for Tina S, if you want to see a 15 year old French girl completely shred both guitar parts of this. It has 30 million views so....yeah it's that good.
Now that you guys have become fairly well accustomed to rock music please react to : Jinjer Pisces
The Devil Went Down to Georgia was a metal cover and it's the final boss song at the end of Guitar Hero 3.
Take me back to the 5 yr old mw headbanging of this masterpiece🤘
Man i remember when this game came out EVERYONE was like "have you unlocked through the fire and flames yet?" "Have you beaten through the fire and flames on x difficulty yet?"
Congrats, you have unlocked Level 2. You're now ready for Tina S.'s cover. Can't wait to watch you leaving the room and coming back in sheer disbelief...
If you guys like hearing AMAZING guitar skills, I seriously reccomend reacting to "TheDoo", he is self taught and been making videos for YEARS, he has an unhinged sense of humor so ill warn you ahead of time. TheDoo had a clip of him playing this song and the guitarist in dragonforce reacted to it, and in his own words said, "that was the best performance of that song ive ever heard". One of the biggest compliments you can get as a guitarist is that one right there
5:35 Now that’s a true man of culture, not interrupting the solo
A 20 year old Japanese girl drums to this. She's entertaining as hell. Check out JUNNA drumming to , Through Fire And Flames. She kills it guys. You won't be disappointed.
Having played Guitar Hero 3, I'd say that if you're counting across all difficulty levels (and most people wouldn't), "Raining Blood" actually beats out "Through the Fire and Flames" due to having a less dense but also less predictable pattern. (Also, the first time I played the latter was over the ending credit sequence, where you aren't scored and can't lose, so it just feels epic no matter how bad you are and that feeling kind of carried over to when you can play it normally.)
Lmao im not ready for raining blood when i eventually make it there on my expert run, i had enough of a shit time with on hard, but that probably wont be for a while, Before I Forget is walling me for some reason
I watched my bro crush this on expert mode. He didn't miss a note.
This was my fav song to play on guitar heroes!! Ahh the nostalgia lol your guys reaction has be laughing hard
That's why we call it speed metal 🤘🏽
I requested this months ago I'm so glad you reacted to DF 🔥🤘
My brother saw Dragonforce live once. He's called them Dragonfarce ever since lmao! Turns out it's hard to play this speed consistently live
Yes, Dragonforce really do play that fast, especially live🔥🔥🤘🤘... and drink a lot of beers in between!
The band was formed in the late 90's and debuted in 2003 w/ the album 'Valley of the damned'. Their sound embodies the 'power metal' genre - blazing guitars, fast leads, double bass drumming, high vocals and lyrics about fictional fantasy... The main members of Dragonforce are Herman Li and Sam Totman (guitars)... Z.P. Theart was the original singer... Vadim Pruzhanov was the keyboardist... Dave Mackintosh played drums on this record...
This song was from the 3rd Dragonforce album 'Inhuman Rampage' (2005), which sold a half million copies in the US... The band was featured on 'Guitar Hero' video game and that gave Dragonforce a huge profile worldwide... that was followed by the 4th album 'Ultra beatdown' which featured Frederic Leclerqc (bass) joining the band. In 2010, Dragonforce parted ways w/ singer Z.P. Theart and the 'Guitar Hero' game was discontinued.
With new vocalist Marc Hudson joining Dragonforce in 2012, the band released the album 'The Power within'... Over the next few years, Gee Anzalone (drums) replaced Dave Mackintosh... keyboardist Vadim Pruzahanov left the band (he was never replaced) and Alicia Vigil (bass) joined recently to replace bassist Frederic Leclercq... Their latest album was the arcade video game themed album 'Extreme power metal' (2019) and Dragonforce are working on a new record.
More Dragonforce - 'Valley of the damned'... 'Operation Ground & Pound'... 'Cry Thunder'... 'Three hammers'... 'My spirit will go on'... 'Highway to oblivion' 🤘🤘🔥🔥
Ehm nah they CANT play this live, that’s the whole problem lol.
@@Pingkonk No, YOU can't play this live. And that's NOT a problem 😂😂
Check out Valley Of The Damned, Fields Of Despair, & Once In A Lifetime by them too. DragonForce is considered Power Metal. A lot of the subjects are about different mythologies, vikings, wars, etc. it’s usually uplifting though. You always want to just kick ass after listening to it. Early influences were Dio, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Rainbow, Yngwie Malmsteen, etc. You guys should also check out bands like Gamma Ray, HammerFall, Helloween, Iced Earth, Manowar, Powerwolf, Sabaton, Seven Kingdoms, Unleash The Archers, etc.
A good place to see more great guitarists along with Herman Li is to check out the DragonForce UA-cam chanel. About 2 years ago, he did this big fundraiser for Jason Becker (another guitar virtuoso who can't play anymore due to having ALS). He had a bunch of awesome guest guitarists come on to help raise funds, like: Steve Vai, Tosin Abasi, Jason Richardson, Paul Gilbert, Nita Strauss, Stevie T, etc.
The dive is always amazing in this song
This is my childhood in guitar hero 3 back in middle school great times.
Guitar Hero 3 is actually one of the greatest games of all time. They made this absurd rock arrangement of Devil Went Down to Georgia for the final boss fight and then Through the Fire And Flames for the credits as a reward. It's so epic. There aren't many achievements in gaming as prestigious as beating Guitar Hero 3 on Expert. It's hard as shit. You have to beat every single song.
Best comment I ever read about Through the Fire & Flames music video:
"The most intense shampoo commercial."
Can’t forget the video of Herman Li (the lead guitarist) attempting to play the Guitar Hero version
Devil Went Down to Georgia is on Guitar Hero 3
its the second-to-last song you play before Through the Fire and Flames (which is the credits)
its a metal cover by Steve Ouimette, who did the covers for some songs in the GH games
i really think you guys should check it out.
Yall should see them live xD
I've seen them 3 times live and they sound the exact same as there recording, amazing show.
I don't know if they were ever on Guitar Hero, but a group you should definitely check out is Beast in Black. Their song "Blind and Frozen" is jaw-dropping.
I was waiting for this song for so long.
Getting drunk with buddies and playing RockBand was awesome lol good times
Didn't pause during a solo! Men of culture 🤝
I know a guy that can play that shit on guitar hero and i saw him do it once, that shit is crazy. It sounded like the guitar is going to break because he was going so hard on it. Impressive stuff.
Guys just to clear smth about "the devil went down to georgia" its in the same game you saw Through the Fire and Flames (Guitar Hero Legends of Rock aka nr3)...but you fight the endboss in the game matching to the song is a devil that you fight so you dont lose your soul.and its equally hard to play as through the fire and flames, there is also a version of the devil went down to georgia bossfight were you play YOUR part and the devils part (DLC)..and no its not the Fiddle Version its an amazing metal version you guys might wanna check that out too if you have the time to react to it, its from Steve Ouimette
"heroes of our time" is my personal favorite song of theirs. check it out sometimes
I imagine the guitar players fingers are just 10 giant callouses.
And the Drummers joints are *dust*
Y’all’s faces are priceless haha combination of “what”, “ew”, ((shock)), (squinty), and disbelief. Lol love it do more song reactions!!! Do Elvis lol
