Talk about Guitar Hero has been swirling around me lately. It’s what happens when you work with gamers. Someone had a copy – I call it DDR for your fingers. I tried it out. I suck at it. And got my ass handed to me – payback after all those Halo 2 games, I reckon! After all, I don’t play guitar; I play bass. What worse, some of the songs in GH I’ve played on the bass. Like, for real. When I hear those songs, I’m listening for the bass line – it’s what I’m used to. Makes trying to play along with the lead guitar harder than it should.
Anyway, the latest rumor I’ve been told about GH is related to Guitar Hero II: the next release is supposed to let people play along with the bass line, rather than just the lead guitar. I was happy to hear that – might make me more competative. Either way, once you bring bass into the mix my first though goes to Rush, but I knew there was no way GH would be smart enough to get the rights for a Rush song… a million reasons why.
Enter Joystiq’s article on the music list for GH II… YYZ is listed.
Guess I sold my PS2 too early… although, I can always buy another one.
