Guitar Hero/Rock Band tunes that resonate with you?

Post Reply New Topic

I'm an avid Guitar Hero player, have many but not all the games in the series (some for multiple platforms), and I can think of several:

Hier Kommt Alex (Guitar Hero 3 + downloadable chart for GH5/Warriors of Rock)
My #1 favorite song. I've gotten at least 430,000 in GH3 on Expert and have full comboed the newer, downloadable chart MANY times. Pretty much describes, in German, what's wrong with most societies today. The first few lyrics roughly translate as:

In a world designed by the men in gray
Who decide how we live and breathe,
There's a master plan, by the company man
From the cradle to the company grave

They thought that you'd be happy
With your place in the national scheme
And your carefully measured freedom
To conform to the corporate dream

The bolded lyric is pretty much what we as a human species have right now.

Rockin' In The Free World (Warriors of Rock)
Basically the American version of 1000 Gute Grunde, the second song in Ein Kleines Bisschen Horrorschau, following Hier Kommt Alex. Sarcastically praises the "freedom" we have in America while talking about all the unnecessary poverty we see.

Bring Me To Life (Band Hero)
I'm trying to "awaken" my soul after it was put to sleep in childhood by clueless NT's forcing me to conform to THEIR ways, or else.

L.E.S. Artistes (Band Hero)
As I'm also an introvert with a severe dislike of small talk and groupthink, I'm pretty much the equivalent of Santigold with this song. It's a foregone full combo on Expert, and I've recently learned to squeeze (exploit note timing windows to get extra notes under star power) on this chart. Definitely my most "beyond-100% played" chart.

Mr. Roboto (Band Hero)
I think a lot of us can relate here.

I should probably get to know all the songs in the Damaged Justice Tour in Metallica... they're a step up in difficulty from the above as well... the sort of difficulty where I'd drop a lot of 8x multipliers...
