Guitar Hero

[jnak00]

I was thinking about this while driving home today. Are there any guitar hero or rock band players out there? What Matthew Good (Band) songs would you want to play on Guitar Hero?

 

Everything is Automatic

Load me up

Near Fantastica

 

would be my picks.

[AnOceanPearl]

Man of Action

The Fall of Man

I Miss New Wave

[sodamntired]

I never got Guitar Hero. Amplitude does it better, and it uses the real songs.

[Crusader]

i am a guitar hero. i can play any song in the world ;)

Can you play the guitar solo on Prices of the Universe by Queen?

[Shiri]

I'm new to the guitar hero business and I absolutely love it. I'd love to play Everything Is Automatic, Anti-Pop, The Fall Of Man, Man Of Action and probably a bunch more.

[kbernardp]

I would want to play Deep Six, Weapon, and Flashdance II.

Hell, I'd probably love to play any of his songs in Guitar Hero or Rock Band, I'm not too picky. It'd be cool to see his tracks in RB, so I could handily dominate the vocals.

[Audio of Being]

Change of Seasons, the solo at the end is rather amazing.

 

Man of Action, Weapon, Alert Status Red, Ex-Pats ect....

[jnak00]

Silent Army In the trees, with the solo at the end.

[skysosmrt]

I'd love it if there was North American for Life, Everything is Automatic and Weapon. Also, even though it's a cover but Enjoy the Silence

[finboy]

carmelina by default, it has the best solo through all of matt's music

[matrix]

Born to Kill would be amazing. I'd also like to play Champions of Nothing. I like long songs.

[MissEmily]

I don't know if I'm the only one here who thinks this, but I adore the solo in Big City Life. I've always been able to picture it as a Guitar Hero song.

 

Having said that, I think Hello Time Bomb or Load Me Up would be the choice for the game makers.

 

I actually wish deep down inside they would do a Guitar Hero: Canada and make sure that a good portion of the game is dedicated to the rock stuff from the '90's, early 2000's.

Oh man, Ariel vs Lotus by Limblifter.

 

I should relearn the super slidy bass part in that.

On Guitar Hero II, people found a way to hack the PS2 version so you can load any song onto it. I don't know the specifics but it can be done, sounds like its a big process though and you need be pretty handy/tech saavy. I think it involves actually opening up the PS2 and modifying it. If you just do a google search it will come up with a bunch on info on how to do it. I looked into it a while back. thats why you can search youtube for almost any song on guitar hero and it will come up with someone playing it.

[jnak00]

Wouldn't you have to program the notes in somehow?

[Curtster]

yeah, there is software that does that apparently. From what I understand, the process involves...

 

loading the song into a program that maps out the notes and exports it into the proper format

 

somehow replacing the normal songs on the game with your custom songs, again using software of some sort.

 

burning a new copy of the game

 

and playing it on a PS2 that is modified to play burnt games

 

The whole things seems like a lot of work and frustration to me, I like to think I am a "techy" person but this seems over my head. If you want to check it out, this forum seems to have a lot of info on it: http://www.scorehero.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=16

 

I personally think Guitar Hero is really quite boring, although it fun when you first start playing it. I agree though, I wouldn't mind playing some Matt Good songs on there. I think my choices would be songs like Load Me Up, Everything is Automatic and Time Bomb.

Have you ever taken part in a Guitar Hero competition? That's where it gets fun. ;)

 

I came third the last one I was in, and that was without actually owning the game.

[jnak00]

Too bad I don't have a PS2, I might have actually tried that. Although I'd probably get through 1/2 a song and quit because it sounds like a lot of work.

For the more popular old tracks:

 

Automatic

Time Bomb

 

Newer:

 

Fantastica

Weapon

Alert Status Red

[a_single_spark]

man of action would be solid. i'd also really love to play load me up, i think that would translate really well to guitar hero.

[strangedays3]

I always thought there should have been Matthew Good songs on guitar hero, I am trying to think of what I was listening to the other day that I thought would make an awesome song.

 

But definitely.

 

Load Me Up

Rico ( I know, but it has awesome guitar )

aand

Everything is Automatic

[Hyphnip]

man of action WOULD be great

[bishopx]

Near Fantastica would be good too. The solo in the album version is badass.
