The musicians do. Seems every single musician interviewed for being involved with GH did it because they knew a lot of young people were about to get exposed to a lot of rock music
Not only Guitar Hero, video games in general. Burnout, Need for Speed, Tony Hawk games etc, all had a huge impact on young people's tastes. I mean this is true for all kinds of media, but video games in particular had a lot of metal OSTs in the 2000s. It does continue even today with games like Doom Eternal and Devil May Cry 5, though they are their own thing even though bands tend to participate in the creation of these OSTs (like Suicide Silence and the drummer of Periphery for DMC5 and whole cast of death metal vocalists for Doom Eternal)
@@LesGaming511 he'd probably make the game worth getting. This is like metallica's best song and the first quater of any Megadeth songs are heavier than than this could ever be. In term you just a fuckboy that knows nothing of metal if you're going to compare them to actual bands, or the fucking god father of thrash metal.
It's interesting to see Lars playing mostly in line with the original song. I've become so accustomed to his live performances that watching him play more straight forwardly is a bit weird ahah
Yea he gets bored playing the record version, and uses live shows to try to exercise the ideas he cant record with the band lol He doesnt have another musical project outlet which is probably his biggest set back.
As a drummer myself, I hate trying to follow a record 1:1. Sometimes you're in a hyper mood and wanna do more, sometimes more tired and wanna do less. I'm a beginner but even still, besides major songs like caravan or smth, messing about a little keeps playing fun. Also much easier to change things slightly than play exactly to a record.
Awesome performance by James. He stays disciplined in maintaining his normal attitude and posture as if it were a real live performance, but adds in the quirky gestures occasionally to fit the style of guitar hero. Really cool.
Atleast they can still remember what they need to be fretting while not actually playing cause god knows when a guitar leaves my hand I can’t remember anything.
IDK if you've never heard but its 99 percent mental 1 percent talent, that goes for anything tbh, apply this method to whatever, its all in your head just focus and manifest greatness
The developers and animators went through all the trouble of using mocap with the actual band, only to forget to render the guitar straps. Floating guitars ftw!
They didn't forget tho, rendering straps would require real-time physics simulation otherwise it would look awful. Not making them was a decision, not a mistake. Guitar Hero games never had straps, and the devs know that
@@guitarplayer1495 then it would just be a stiff strap that floats/clips through the the other model. I’m sure they tried it and said “yeah that doesn’t look good, delete it”
I remember playing this and other Guitar Heroes every day after school as a kid, this was probably my favorite game out of the entire series. I always wished they had made a Guitar Hero Guns n Roses, but I doubt it would have been possible considering Axl and Slash at the time. Was cool to duel Slash in GH3 though.
@@paulgraves1392 IIRC Axl didn't want to let them use GnR music in the game (in his opinion he controlled everything GnR related) but Slash gave the OK anyway which led to a legal battle between them.

Jason isn't in the band, hadn't been since longer than he was IN the band for. Robert has been the bassist LONGER than Jason. Why will it take until ROB leaves, dies, or gets fired, before people respect HIM too?? It's always the same shit. People wait until it's too late. Robert is a legend too. All of them were/are. Also, cliff isn't in the band either, he died in 1986, on a bus. He ain't coming back. Got to deal with that one of these days.
I wish they released all of there main studio albums. Imagine playing damage Inc or blackened. Or eye of the beholder, through the never. So many badass songs to play
This doesn't count imo, since he technically isn't even holding a guitar. Just a guitar shaped prop with no electronics used to capture his performance. Also he uses Les Paul's a lot.
I know they had a lot of fun. The producers of the game probably had their music playing loud on some badass speakers as they pretend played for the making of the video game. Mustve been fun for them to just listen to their material and pretend play. Must’ve been a nice change of pace Loved the game
After stranger things the internet has been beating this song into us constantly, every other video is a Master of Puppets cover or live performance..I loved this song and now when I was younger and now I'm extremely sick of it and im sure im going to see it a thousand more times this month.
My hope is Guitar hero : Guns N' Roses Guitar hero : Queen Guitar hero : Iron Maiden Guitar hero : AC/DC They're also the rock bands and metal legends that ever existed
@@marcoszavala8898 I really don't see a guitar hero craze happening again. At most, they'll release a few new games but not side titles like iron maiden or motorhead.
Did anyone else feel actual rage at how stupid the character models looked? James looks like a hideous claymation monster from Evil Dead and Kirk looked like a bad Captain Hook cosplay? Rob is iffy too whilst Lars is inexplicably normal looking.
Guitar hero is stylized, not photorealism. that's just the cartoonish artstyle of the game, man. See the male lead singer's face proportions for the first couple games for a similar example.
This is fuc…. awesome!!!!, I didn't think it was done this way. But anyway, not even an animated James can ever match the real, manly and sexy James ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Yeah he did this solo so many people think this solo or nothing else matters solo is his best one but I think they dont come close to the suicide and redempition solo ot jamezz
Peak GH. I'd buy it again in a heart beat, but then i'd have to also get a system to play it on, a TV to see it, and a proper sound bar to hear it properly... then there's calibrating the lag... ahhh good times
The only thing missed on this game were some old members as characters to unlock. First set u unlock Ron Macgoovey, then Jason, Then Gary Holt (was him in Metallica and Kirk in Exodus, right?!) And, of course, Dave Mustaine as the final boss!!! And Cliff would gets "locked" after u unlock jason.
NO IMAGINE IF THEY HAD THE OPTION TO HAVE THE CHARACTER CHANGED TO EDDIE MUNSON. ALSO IVE BEEN LOVING METALLICA SINCE I WAS LITTLE. Love them so muchhhh
The best game developer ever made a game with the best band ever and it turned out to be the best game in the franchise? I'm not surprised, I knew this shit before I was born.
Guitar hero Metallica 2. But with a story line. You start in the garage, touring small gigs with KEA and Dave, you unlock Kirk and Jason, bob rock, and rob as time progresses and tour for slightly bigger places, earn money, create custom guitars etc. all with todays graphics. Add an add on pack where you can connect a real guitar or drums to play along. Take my money.
Jus so yall kno metallica been around since the 80s n is one of the most well known metal bands of all time n are in the rock n roll hall of fame. Stranger Things did not make them Famous you Bums lol.
Why does James actually look like my guitar teacher with glasses
he does tho

Best guitar hero by a mile. The attention to detail at the time was amazing.
was this the one on the Xbox 360 and the Wii?
They're clearly having fun and feeling the passion in their music. The music that connected to millions and made them ultra-successful.
Say what you will about these guys. Over the years they have fine tuned performing to the point that it translates from mocap to digital, wonderfully.
I was working in QA at neversoft at the time. We weren't informed Metallica would be doing mocap. I went to vegas for a few days and suddenly I'm getting pics of like, hetfield sitting in my chair sent to me.
