    Making around 70 great covers of real songs including all instruments and diferents voices is a very big achivement. You guys did a great job with that game.

    2:22 Literally the only reason i SEARCHED for this video. My favorite song on that game. And it took me 15 years to realize that I only love it so much because the cover singer's voice is literally amazing. I love this version even more than the original. It's what made me fall in love with this song and ultimately rock and metal over the years. And this is coming from a complete 90s Hip-Hop head.

      Some songs were originals, but most were covers (at least in later games). It wasn't until Guitar Hero III: Legends Of Rock where there were original songs rather than the whole soundtrack being covers. With the original Guitar Hero and Guitar Hero II, the entire playlist are covers.

    If I can play Malmsteen on real guitar today it's because of these guys. I didn't even know what rock was until I played Guitar Hero II in a friends house. I felt amazing. Their work is awesome. Most cases I still prefer these GH covers to the master records. The guitar lines in Mother, Message In A Bottle, Woman, Free Bird, Hangar 18, etc are perfect.

  • @SquibLmao
    @SquibLmao 5 років тому +13

    I’ve seen many people get mad at the fact that the gh1 and 2 setlists we’re covers. That’s the point of the game, you play as a guitarist in a cover band. They made the covers because it’s more genuine for a cover band in a game to play actual song covers.

    • @the_evil_bread6317
      @the_evil_bread6317 11 місяців тому

      They did covers because licensing is expensive. You jokers will make up any delusional explanation just to feel better. The covers are great so it doesn’t matter.

    • @fluxie31_old
      @fluxie31_old 8 місяців тому +2

    @TUSMROX This was the standard practice for music games in the industry - everything from Donkey Konga to Karaoke Revolution used covers, and many of them were by WaveGroup. Nobody thought the Guitar Hero games would take off like they did, and that it would be beneficial (or profitable) to license master recordings. I think somebody at some record label realised what a marketing boost the GH games were giving their artists... :)

      tunico191 I would rather have either a GCB95 (which I do) or especially the JC95 which I really want.
      I used to own a DigiTech wah pedal (forget which) and the button was in the heel which was annoying and I thought it sounded like shit.
