MAKES ME SAD I DON’T OWN GUITAR HERO WORLD TOUR
Monday, May 11th, 2009 at 2:00pm by Axl RosenbergAbout a dozen of you have e-mailed me to ask why we haven’t mentioned that Chimaira’s “On Broken Glass” (from The Infection, natch) is now avail as a free download for Guitar Hero World Tour.
So. Did you know that Chimaira’s “On Broken Glass” is now avail as a free download for Guitar Hero World Tour?
Above is a video of the song being played on “expert,” which looks pretty friggin’ hard to me. Since I don’t actually own Guitar Hero World Tour, I’m gonna hafta wait ’til a friend buys it to try it out for myself.
In the meantime, the official Xbox 360 website has an interview with Chimaira keyboardist/electronics magician Chris Spicuzza. Spicuzza is apparently the member of the band all the other members of the band call when they’re having computer issues. I think we all a friend we call when we’re having computer issues (unless you are that friend), and most of the time that friend has some crazy-sick Xbox set-up… which Spicuzza does, indeed, hav such a set-up:
Now we understand you’re a bit of a serious gamer as well, and because you’re on the road a lot, you’ve had a custom rig created for your gaming needs. Can you tell us a little about it? Was it expensive? Is it as heavy as it looks?
For a while gaming pretty much consumed my spare time. I always wanted to game but the guys in my band don’t want to sit there and watch me play. My solution was building my own rig so I can game wherever and whenever. I didn’t want to spend much so I used a 15” HDTV from home and mounted it on a metal arm that swivelled vertically. Mike Pierce from Scorpion Case built the rig. It’s quite heavy and takes up a good portion of the back lounge couch. I’m still very happy with the result. I’m debating making a more practical Xbox travel rig. If only I was best friends with Ben Heck who built that pelican case Xbox …

i hate how rock band has sooo many good downloadable songs but totally lame ones on disk. i hate how i dont have the money to buy them on either game
having a modded 360 is pretty much the only excuse to have guitar hero expansions/sequels
The newest editions of Rock Band and Guitar Hero have the weakest setlists
You’re saying Guitar Hero: Metallica has the weakest setlist? :D
Haha I didn’t include the band-themed versions
I’ve always thought that any kid (or adult for that matter) that has enough spare time to learn how to play a song like that or DRagonforce or Slayer or DReam Theater on expert on Guitar Hero may as well have put his or her time into actually learning how to play a guitar, no? I mean I like guitar hero as much as the next guy from time to time but I’ll never be able to play any more than medium at best. Sure playing hard songs on expert looks impressive on video but the enveloping reality is that it’s kind of pathetic.
It’s a game. You play it because it’s fun.
yeah…It doesn’t take as much time for a lot of people to learn how to play a GH song on Hard or Expert. People blow that whole thing out of proportion with “Why don’t you just learn it on real guitar whine whine whine” and it’s because video games are more fun. plain and simple. Why don’t you tell every person who plays Madden 09 to go play real football outside?
Wow there are blind people with no hands that play on higher levels than you
sounds like mike wishes he was better…. keep on practising dude, one day you’ll also be able to hit the orange too!!!!
Good song choice, my favourite from The Infection.
