Guitar Hero – Hair Rock

I’ve been sucked in by the Nintendo Wii.

Whether or not Guitar Hero pushes me to purchase a Wii of my own one day is still uncertain. All I know is that when my sister and brother-in-law invited us over to play a few days ago, that miniature plastic Gibson called to me. My excitement heightened when I saw certain songs the game had to offer. I was transported back to 1994, sitting in my room with my Fender, attempting to keep up with Smashing Pumpkins and the like.

For some reason it was a lot easier this time around. I guess it could be because I was only using three buttons instead of six strings, but maybe I’ve just gotten really good as I’ve aged. I way playing on easy, so that might be the reason.

My idea is for a Guitar Hero hair rock edition. I’d love to see Slaughter, Poison, Skid Row, etc. on an upcoming version of the game. My favorites on the version I played were older ones. Hair rock can’t really be called old, but compared to songs made in the last few years, I’ll call them the classics. The classics were the most enjoyable by far.

And if you’ve ever wondered if you could keep up with the likes of White Zombie or Slayer, you can’t. Unless you are really, really good that is. I couldn’t keep up with Slayer on easy, so I can’t even imagine it on hard. And that’s just five buttons.
