Bobby Kotick happened

I LOVE how long you show footage of Definitive Edition with Goku and shit and say nothing about it lmao

There are truly no other games like these.

Man, we're all starting to get nostalgic about these games! I've been working on starting to make a script for a music games video myself. Good job on this one!

This is the most dumbest video I have ever watched. Literally no one else thinks likes this

This game was wonderful to play through!

GH and RB are simply two of the most fun games series ever. They are so damn rewarding. Going from easy in 07 to hard/some expert in 13 is a great journey

I never got to finish this game cause I got really bad motion sickness from all the puzzles

Yukiko best girl. When i finished Persona 4, i felt very empty for 2 weeks. I couldn't stop thinking about it. It was one of the first jrpgs i bought in my life, maybe that's why.

I'm glad you agree with the sentiment of "what if full albums could be used as a narrative in future Guitar Hero games." I would like that too. Or at least songs that are 15 or more minutes in length. *cough* Tarkus. I would really like to see Tarkus have its own event in Guitar Hero.

I got Mario 64 for Christmas with an N64 when it first came out. I remember the first time I fought King Bob-omb. He instantly threw me off the cliff and I had to climb all the way back up! Because he did that, I thought I was expected to do the same, so I threw him off the cliff. Then he jumped back up. Then I thought, ok most bosses need 3 hits, so I did it twice more. Then I thought, wow dude has serious health for a Mario game, and I proceeded to do it 6 more times, before giving up, assuming I was missing a secret elsewhere in the level. After revisiting all the currently accessible areas of the level, I eventually fought him again. I began throwing him off the edge again and again until once I misjudged my distance and he didn't fall off the edge. I saw white smoke and hear a sound. It was then I finally noticed that I was supposed to throw him within the bounds of the arena and not off the cliff! My first King Bob-omb clear took about 2 hours as a kid 🤣😂

I'm.gomnq bye new headlines headphones and

I would have had rock band but I remember it not being compatible with guitar hero controllers and that’s all I had. For Wii anyway. So I just went to my friends place and played it there.

such an american point of view its clear u dont know what ur talking about.

I never expect OoT to be beat with its incredibly thought-provoking themes, but I do hope Nintendo will go back to making Zelda games with mature messages and music front and center conveying feelings. BotW and TotK have their own sense of limitless adventure and freedom, but their stories focus on deceased characters you never really got to bond with. It's all a subtle ambience and gives you a feeling that everything important already happened. I miss the nostalgic, personal stories.

Guitar Hero Warriors of Rock is my favorite game in the series, especially cause you can import GH Metallica track into the game.

This video is so ahrd to watch because everything in this show puts me so close to crying. LMao

You got some info wrong. While yes the American music games died get over saturated and faded out for a while. Rhythm games such as Hatsune Miku Project diva started on the psp and continues to get new games even on pc. While the American music gam e market died out. The Japanese music games continue to live on. Meanwhile, you have great composers from the vocaloid and utau community working on friday night funkin mods as well other talented composers. The music game genre didnt particullay die out. Sure the economics situation and over saturation didnt help. But, if you look up the android Japanese store. Sega has been doing alot of Japanese pop idol games. I think if you consider the skill required to master project diva vs guitar hero. rock band. It's kinda obvious where both guitar hero and rock band fail to recapture their fans when the games made a weak come back.

You done a outstanding job making this

The beige color is meant to represent a maple neck which is actually more common on Fender Stratocasters than the rosewood neck on the updated RB guitar

When I started playing Rock Band drums on expert, I figured I’d try the real thing. 15 years later and I’ve been playing in bands ever since.

Your videos are always straight bangers brother. Appreciate you and all the hard work you do! 🤘

I remember playing thps with my dad and seeing if we could get 1 million points before the time ran out.

I wanna be positive due to all these comments talking about what fond memories it brings up but I can't harbor anything but hate in my heart for this series over it's hand in killing any chance Beatmania had in the West and killing rhythm games in general for many years. That one X-Play review where they called beatmania a "Guitar Hero" ripoff (despite beatmania both having already existed for almost 10 years at that point) lives fresh in my mind. Woulda been nice if we could have seen GITADORA over here so we could have a band-focused rhythm game without having to dress it up in a bunch of boomer cock rock.

I got GH Aerosmith for Christmas one year and I loved that game so much I would wake up at like 6:30 on Saturdays to play it. Fast forward a couple years and I’m entering middle school with the option to take some extra curricular classes. My parents suggest I join band. I was reluctant but still did it my 6th grade year anecdotes the rest was history. I did band for nearly 12 years including 5 while in college. I was consistently one of or the best players in my instrument at every level I played, including making All-State in high school. I think my parents saw how much I enjoyed playing GH and saw a passion for music and saw it as a spring board to learning a real instrument. I’m definitely not the only one who became passionate for music because of this game. I can’t imagine what my life would have been like if I didn’t get that plastic guitar

The Rock Band games solidified my taste in music. Growing up I would listen to my brother master the drums (eventually connecting a real electronic drum set, so yes, you can learn to play drums for real on it), and to this day the songs on those playlists are my favorites

I appreciate your perspective on Rush. A truly incredible band and I’m glad they helped you the way they helped so many others.

After listening to the ending before the conclusion, I honestly shed a tear. I have only discovered your channel in the past few months but man, your way of telling stories about games and the impacts they had in your life are so catching and sometimes even greatly inspiring. Without rambling on even more I just wanted to say: You are a real one, thank you for posting Videos! ❤

As soon I heard the lyrics for the airport level, I knew if it was endgame for Max payne 3, we need more games like this!

I just had a crazy idea that I wish the genre were still around for. Imagine this game - Rock Band: Live Aid. Imagining the Queen set alone makes me misty-eyed. Someone needs to make this happen.

Thank you for this video, Liam. To say I spent a great portion of my childhood playing these games would be an understatement. I still play Rock Band 4 with friends sometimes at parties. I learned to play every instrument on Expert pretty well except the eventual keyboard. I even used to upload KZbin videos with my terrible Dazzle capture device back in the day 😂 some were FC videos, some just good rankings of gold stars. It's probably the video game I'm overall the best at to this day. So many great memories with these games!

I was in a band and played drums and used to destroy people on expert all the time after telling them it was my first time playing haha. They would be so pissed.

I thought this was gonna be an old vid. This is the perfect time to release this tho, fortnite festival is blowing up right now. PDP has released the first, first party controller in 9? years! I think, maybe not as big as before, but i think rock band is coming back through fortnite festival, which harmonix is behind.

What song is playing at 26:26

Play this game always takes me to my happy place. For 1998 this game was pretty inventive with its ideas like the webs in the Deku Tree, the hookshot, Link's entire swordfighting arsenal of moves, the cinematic cutscenes, the Ocarina and it's songs, and finally the mood. Perfection on the system. No wonder it won Game of the Year despite coming out the same year as Pokemon Red and Blue, Metal Gear Solid, and Resident fucking Evil 2.

Ive been playing drums for 14 years and i started by playong Rock Band and Guitar hero on drums. I still use it to this day with Clone Hero. The drums do translate so well when you get the feel for it all

Even though I only played LEGO Rock Band on the DS, I get why are those two series so beloved. I love rhythm games and I had a blast playing LEGO Rock Band. So many amazing songs (compressed by the DS lmao) and I was surprised how good I was getting at those harder difficulties by playing more and more. The DS version only uses LEFT, UP, X and A buttons to hit notes and L, R for changing instruments. And if you change to drums for example, the music focuses more on the percussion, making other instruments and vocals quieter. Also it contains the theme song from my most favourite film The Devil Wears Prada - Suddenly I See by KT Tunstall <3

Grew up playing these games and now I'm in a real band playing real shows!!

I was 30 minutes into this video when all the sudden I felt a very sharp pain in my stomach that ended up me being in the toilet, straight up shitting so much I got scared.

GOON ON THE DRUMS????

You’re a hater mook😒

Still play GH 1-5 on the PS2. Earlier today even. GH3 is near and dear to my heart.

That discussion of your experience with leukemia hit pretty hard for me. I lost my mom last year to an accident related to her AML. The platelets was a constant thing. We went to the hospital every week for a transfusion. I’m glad you made it through.

It blows my mind rock band 4 was taken off shelves within weeks of releasing, but support for it continued for like a decade! I WOULD play it but hardware was discontinued and goes for $1,000 ebay. Im still so salty

@37:03 no way bro is using splatoon music during a rock band retrospective! I love it! Music in splatoon is important too!

My first experience with Guitar hero was GH1. My best friend at the time had GH1 for his PS2 and we played it some but I thought it was kind of hard to play. About a year or so later, my brother had friends who had GH2 on PS2 and we got really into the game. We didn't have a PS2 at the time, so we would go to Best Buy and play the demo a lot. My mom got us a PS2 so we could play it at home. I was really into the game growing up in high school and played a lot of Rock Band/GH in college.

i had the DS and the DSi but i was always wishing for a gameboy advance 2... the DS was nothing compared to the GB Advance for me.. and so ugly btw

Sonic isn't a good game.

Maybe the real guitar heroes were the friends we made along the way

LOVE to see Trogdor getting some love in this. :D
