How Greed Silenced an Era

[@TDTProductions]

His ass IS playing guitar hero. We live in twitch in a bit: www.twitch.tv/tdt_streams

[@Kenny-sama91]

Finally one of my favorite streamers still out there trying to keep my OG favorite game series besides Rock Band alive. You're my hero!

[@aidenbebbington4083]

@TDTProductions what about a video on the eyetoy games or those games with the flash guns like time crisis 2 for me 😅

[@roxyhoxy]

Rest in peace, guitar, hero, and rock band and we cannot forget the Lego variant of the game

[@hellblazer2296]

@roxyhoxy just play Clone Hero, it's better anyway lmao

[@roxyhoxy]

@ i do play it but it’s just there’s something about the originals

[@jasonknutson713]

There are a good number of songs that I know all the lyrics to purely because of Lego Rock Band (i was and still am terrible at the instruments, so i relegated myself so my buddy could do the guitar.)

[@shadowedwolfgaming7751]

i miss guitar hero every day of my life. And the worst part is that I know, even if I manage to get the games and the guitars again, it will never be the same as it was

[@Ima9ineBreak3r]

One of my greatest gaming achievements of all time was clearing Avenged Sevenfold's Afterlife on expert difficulty on the guitar on rock band two. I had never been a particularly mechanically skilled gamer, so it was quite difficult for me to do that. When I cleared the solo, I started screaming and celebrating so hard my family had to come check on me.

[@gabrielgoncalves3467]

@@Ima9ineBreak3r I wish I got to play those games But I do the next best thing, I'm trying to learn the solo on my real guitar (it's painful)

[@captindo]

It didn’t die fully. Back in 2008 me and my buddies played Guitar Hero after work. We would get our wives and girlfriends together and get drunk playing it having a great time. Some of us still get together and play it together from time to time and talk about the infantry and life and it’s like old times again, just, we’re in our 40s and arthritis sucks lol.

[@MaoTenshi]

Good news: Rhythm games have never died. They are still super popular overseas, and hold a fair bit of sway on mobile markets. It is worth noting that while the Guitar Hero and Rock Band and names may be gone, there are still lots of great games out there that do exist and are worth your attention. Never forget Dance Dance Revolution. Go try out Taiko no Tatsujin for new drumming action. Go try the Arcade Guitar Hero games that are still being made every so often.

[@AzamiXXIV]

True I still play osu! Which has these two and more gamemodes

[@snottytoe6957]

One thing that some other content creator (I think Jason Paradise?) mentioned is that with the decline of guitar hero, there was a decline in the guitar controller production. These days they are kind of hard to find good ones for cheap and they only serve a single purpose, though the Riffmaster did start getting produced thanks to Fortnite. However clone hero does also support the drum controllers, which can use a MIDI input directly from an electronic drum set, which not only can act as your controller but as an actual drum set. Basically while the guitar side of clone hero may die, the drum side of it will continue to grow since electronic drum sets aren't made solely for clone hero.

[@QuietDarkness27]

Couch co-op at its peak. So many good memories of jamming out with friends on some Rock Band 2. Those were the days.

[@PvtPounder]

Man, making me miss the shit out of living with my old roommates and jamming out on Rock Band.

[@aidenbebbington4083]

Honestly it would be incredible if they made a way back

[@bonesofeao3968]

That rock band 2 intro still HITS

[@Pattamatt1998]

Guitar Hero 3 was among my favorite games as a kid and teenager, and is the reason I started playing guitar. It kills me to think that this whole genre has all but died off.

[@lozangekitten-gamer7626]

I had played the final challenge of Rock Band 2 (The Wii version, so no achievements) playing ALL of the music tracks in 1 OMEGA concert (thank goodness I wasn't on the platforms that were gonna ask to do a pauseless run of it... I can imagine many's bladders and bowels might have burst and the mountain of snacks/drinks management so dehydration/hunger wouldn't disturb the players)

[@likwidflame]

I play rocksmith, but the reason I stopped playing it was because I wanted to make my own music. It was purely inspirational.

[@StoneyKenobi212]

Genres not gone. osu!, Thumper, Muse Dash, BIT.TRIP, Hatsune Miku, Beat saber, Pistol Whip, Metal Hellsinger, BPM, DJMAX Respect V, Crypt of the Necromancer, AudioSurf, Rocksmith, Incredibox.

[@TDTProductions]

Watch the rest of the vid! Although you def mentioned some other games in here I didn’t mention in my conclusion

[@onionsintrouble.gaming]

Fortnite festival

[@StoneyKenobi212]

@@TDTProductions I watched the whole thing. It was really good great job, got a sub from me. You made a lot of valid point, and I do agree the genres fallen off. But there has been a popular rhythm game almost every other year since guitar hero. So extinct is a little much imo. lol

[@TDTProductions]

@@StoneyKenobi212 I know I am asking alit, but can you list a popular rhythm game that came out each year post 2015?

[@StoneyKenobi212]

@@TDTProductions Audiosurf 2 (2015) Thumper (2016) DJMAX Respect (2017) Muse Dash (2018) Pistol Whip (2019) BPM (2020) Hextech Mayhem (2021) Metal: Hellsinger (2022) Spin Rhythm XD (2023) MASH VP! Re:VISION (2024) this last one is in early access so technically it will come out next year.

[@GlitchedVision]

finally at the end of this vid and was very tempted to just drop "copyright and greed killed the rhythm game, but indie artists and free music brought it back" then walk away but this video said that in a very enjoyable 10 minute watch :)

[@Lon3Wolf65]

Rock Band is literally the reason I play bass. Without Rock Band, I wouldn't have gotten to do worship music in church for, like, seven years straight. Playing along with music is a core part of my enjoyment of it, and it wouldn't have happened without Guitar Hero and Rock Band.

[@HowdyHowdy_]

I grew up with Band Hero on my Wii, every now and then I dust my Wii, Guitar Drums and Mic kit out and play its campaign for nostalgia.

[@yol_n]

I don't necessarely care that the games are dead, I however do care that you can't buy the old ones anymore. And it's a shame because we had the beatles, the metallica and van hallen games and we can't buy those anymore.

[@fletcherparker6792]

One of the greatest games my friends and i enjoyed together! Kept some parents up late from the amateur singing! 😂

[@Slitheringpeanut]

But it's not dead. Sure, the peripherals are, because no one is buying them, but for example, Fortnite Festival IS a Guitar Hero style game with the toggles mapped to either the keyboard or a controller, but it's still going. It's a niche now.

[@callanyoung764]

Acai mentioned o.o

[@eddmario]

Wasn't expecting him to show show up on this channel, but I was expecting JasonParadise to show up later afterwards.

[@matthewreed5988]

I played guitar hero for the first time last week and I really should have sooner. It was such a good time even playing with people I didn't even know. Does anyone know how much it costs to get a guitar hero set and/or if it works on new consoles?

[@GUCFan]

CRKD literally came out with a modernized Guitar Grip for Fortnite Festival, they teased a brand new guitar controller! Have i mentioned that the team at CRKD behind those controllers are the SAME PEOPLE that worked at Red Octane and literally laid out the foundation for 5 frets guitar controllers???

[@FlushedRay]

mesome body reveal before gta 6 excellent video tho

[@maythomas4591]

I get clickbait is the name of the game but the people asking about Festival and Clone Hero etc. without watching the vid is gonna happen with a title like that. Good vid tho.

[@TDTProductions]

The thing is, the genre did “die”. It’s just came back. There was about a 5-10 year period where there was NOTHING from them. For games, that’s nuts. Imagine no major racing game releases for 5+ years

[@maythomas4591]

@@TDTProductions Yeah there was a period when not much was happening within it, the come back is interesting and I hope more "gimmicky" peripherals make a more main stream come back. I dont blame you for the title btw, you have honest clickbait its just some people do just react without watching sometimes lol, its a volatile internet.

[@abcdefJames]

If they made a “guitar hero X” or something right now and signed it to Xbox and PC, I’m telling you itd sell out

[@A-zaih]

this video is secretly about how much we all miss rock. . . even if you didn't live through it like me lol.

[@Double0Dark]

I came back to Clone Hero in 2021 and got me a wii guitar to play it now (Yes, these are the best guitars LOL) and I have had a blast. The work the community has put in to host tourneys, full combo absolute abomination charts (look up Acai's Prevail FC, thats a fun starting point) and keep making charts of songs has kept the community alive. Shoutout to the Clone Hero/YARG community

[@adrianl0l]

Yeah idek why bohemian rhapsody was put in the game theres literally like 5 separate genres within the song itself LMAO

[@seanp1315]

I laughed the game off as a fad. Ran into this guy I had known from high school, guy tells me he had a photo sensitive seizure from playing GH. Tells me he's still playing it, so I knew it had to be fun af to risk life and limb lol.

[@Albedo.Sauce.]

I still play rock band 4 to this day man

[@ProbablyCheddar]

Har- mon - ix like harmonics not har-minix

[@ReiReiFoxy]

I don't think it is fair to say the rhythm game genre died even slightly. There's plenty of them nowadays. The only difference to the past is they're almost exclusively from indie studios now.

[@Make_Pepe_Great_Again]

Yo, it's been 3 months since you quit Destiny 2. How are you holding up? What are your thoughts on the current state of things, if any? Is D2 dead in your eyes? Just got curious.

[@scoogs19]

Didnt a new guitar hero game just get announced at the VGAs?

[@eddmario]

Unfortunately, it didn't. Too bad, because it would have fit right in with the Okami and Onimusha sequel reveals.

[@hunterschleich5291]

good video

[@The_EveningSwan]

Let’s go new upload and it’s guitar hero themed!

[@Obunga-np5ic]

Look up Clone Hero, free version of guitar hero that is on PC with custom songs

[@Malaphor2501]

He actually talks about it at the end of the video.

[@Senorgato029]

I was quite young at the times of rock band 1/2/3 and more enjoyed watching my brother play than actually playing myself although I wish we did play together more, I played on drums briefly but never really got good at it, maybe one day I’ll whip the gutairs out if we can find them but I guess I’m just playing the Fortnite version for now

[@crow5386]

Fortnite festival literally came out like a year ago wich is the exact Genre

[@koolkaleb19]

Not exactly. Guitar Hero had its own controller which was a guitar which added something different and unique compared to Festival which uses a controller or a keyboard.

[@crow5386]

@koolkaleb19 those have been in the works and talked about being dropped since the game mode was announced first of all Secondly The exact same company that made one of those games made festival

Yall everybody who stayed Is smart. You don't like a youtuber or streamer for the game, you like them for who they are. And if you only like them for a game, then you don't really like them
