History Awesome / GuitarHero

** How about [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=VtEeDUeBrMg beating it]] at ''1.65 times the original speed''?
** On June 3rd, 2021, Borealis fc'd the Smash Hits chart of "Through the Fire and Flames" at 150% of the original speed https://youtu.be/s4bO0JEUZto. This particular chart is said to be even harder than the Guitar Hero III chart due to the way [[ScrappyMechanic slider notes]] work.

* A meta example, but DummiedOut content from the Wii version of ''Guitar Hero 5'' revealed a group of songs that did not make the cut, including a live version of "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gC0nAKosqgA Black Dog]]" by none other than '''Music/LedZeppelin'''[[note]]It's the version that wound up in the album version of ''Film/TheSongRemainsTheSame''[[/note]]. Which meant that Activision and Neversoft ''nearly'' got a Led Zeppelin song into a ''Guitar Hero'' game, which is impressive considering how notoriously litigious the band members are.
* The fact that nearly half of the first game's main songs were available as DLC for the Xbox 360 version of ''Guitar Hero II'' (itself already beefed up from the conversion from the [=PS2=]). It inverts OneGameForThePriceOfTwo and stuffs even more classics - some of which even Neversoft couldn't or didn't want to rescue for ''Smash Hits'' - into an already epic tracklist.

* TheStinger for ''Legends of Rock.'' Say goodbye to your fingers and at least one guitar trying to nail Music/DragonForce's ''Through the Fire and Flames'' on [[ThatOneBoss Expert]] (assuming at least that [[NintendoHard you managed to beat it in the first place]], which in itself is pretty damn awesome).

* The real guitarists coming out on stage to play. ''World Tour'' had Zakk Wylde coming out from the crowd for a guitar battle, Music/OzzyOsbourne rises out from the stage, [[{{Music/Paramore}} Hayley Williams]] jumps out from a shower of fireworks to play with you and Music/TedNugent rides by on a buffalo. And after you play with them few things are more heart pumping than [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming these rock legends singing your praises. ]]

** ''5'' tones it down, but it's still a thrill to see a song load up with someone walking out on stage, to be revealed as KurtCobain or JohnnyCash.

* The character's transformations in Warrior's of Rock count as well:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AdbGWHAsXQ4&NR=1

** Hendrix's appearance is toned down by comparison, but still awesome - he simply walks onto the stage, and the guitarist takes one look at him and jumps out of the way.

* The Transformations? They don't have ANYTHING on the Final Battle! Lemme tell you about what happens... actually, I'd better not. The Final Battle of this game contains weapons-grade awesomeness that you can only experience the full brunt of if you've experienced it. No, not watching it on Youtube, actually PLAYING THE GAME and EXPERIENCING it. Go get this game. Play the Quest mode. EXPERIENCE THIS FOR YOURSELF.
