Score Progression: Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks the 80s

Amidst the Guitar Hero 1 and 2 FC races, Guitar Hero 3 was only a matter of time to be released. With the unexpected release of an expansion game, however, players were faced with the most absurd charts by far in the entire series, and it was up to a select few to finish them off.

y'all already know which GH game is next

[@bug.]

omg i love ghLive

[@AMudkipAmongUs]

Band hero is great!

[@ashertheone8144]

Yo no way GH On Tour?

[@Jarran2R]

YOOOO guitar hero 2nd edition lcd handheld?

[@stanleysmooth]

Guitar Hero 2 again

[@PuppetMasterIX]

Fun fact: "I Want Candy" by Bow Wow Wow was playable in a pre-release demo for this game, but was cut from the final setlist. It's often speculated that "Because It's Midnite" was added into the final game in its place, due to its otherwise baffling tier 2 placement and the fact it's the only song in the setlist not actually from the '80's (as like "Trogdor", it originates from Homestar Runner).

[@The_Mister_E]

Well, at least we got a fun song. A song worth remembering. ...And another Homestar Runner song.

[@NunoVH]

And we didn't get to see I Want Candy FC'd on GH80s until just last year lol

[@CyanCrayonGH]

Pretty sure Because It's Midnight was gonn be the one bonus song in the game, but since I Want Candy was cut, BiM was put in tier 2 instead.

[@jimmy3people0]

@@CyanCrayonGH which makes sense, because really, how the fuck do you properly tier something like that

[@aWiseMoose]

Excellent video as always. I absolutely adore the nostalgia trips these GH score progression videos take me on!

[@stanleysmooth]

Also known as "Score Progression - Because It's Midnight and Ballroom Blitz"

[@CptFalcon]

Man, names like Strikebowler and JamesLikeCoulter are so nostalgic to me. I remember religiously reading Scorehero back in the day and loved to watch the score progression unfold live. Good old days

[@CarnyJared.]

That was awesome! I always loved GH 80’s

[@V0lt1j]

The one weird part is how the cover of ballroom blitz by Krokus was used instead of the original version by sweet

[@chambeet]

Same same. GH2’s engine will always be my favorite. Loved all the hair metal stuff, too.

[@VicalTheFox]

17:45 - 17:55 this part is now pretty sad, because we will never get to watch the score progession.... because he quit :(

[@DPGBehler]

Love the GH1-GH3 score progressions for sheer nostalgia. I remember the old names and the progress as it was being made. Takes me back. Much appreciated.

[@ninjapwnsatlyfe]

you know what makes me really sad. I was absolutely obsessed with gh in Highschool and played every day for hours on end. only near the time he stopped playing and caring as much did i learn that Kevin went to my school and by the time i tried to get him to play with me he wasnt into it. I dont know if i could ever explain the feeling of telling a 15 year old, who is addicted to a game, that one of if not the best player in the world was in my home town

[@plasmakitten4261]

Damn I did NOT know that Ballroom Blitz was the origin of Soulless strumming.

[@iceyroo]

Love these series for the Guitar Hero and Rock Band games, so dope!

[@chaosriders79]

Alex Rigopulos just had to get another Homestar Runner song in Guitar Hero and look what hell he brought upon us lmao

[@b387pp4]

I was really hoping you’d do a video on 80’s, and I’m not disappointed

[@droyal1994]

Gorgeous video about a truly lovely addition to the franchise and one of my top 3 favorites

[@itskmillz]

Loved rocks the 80s. Also man scorehero what nostalgia, still remember when I was top 200 on there after ~31 GH3 FCs. That was where I peaked though and quit for good.

[@The_Mister_E]

It's always the Homestar Runner songs that blindside everybody...

[@lotus79991]

Love to see you pumping out videos❤

[@cheetobambito9724]

Been watching since the rhythm game anomalies and I always look forward to your vids about these types of games and have been waiting for more guitar hero vids cant wait for the next

[@OfficialGlitchDoctor]

I recently bought the Dual Pack for GHI and II, as my original II copy was played so much that the PS2 won't read it anymore lmao. Just beat GHI on Expert today, I knew it felt off cause things that seemed piss easy on Clone Hero just seemed impossible on this game. Knew I wasn't going crazy lmao. Insane how many games have competitive communities battling it out for the top spots. Nice vid.

[@chambeet]

GH1 has a TOUGH engine. I love it, but yeah it’s a tough engine. Also, it was lagging so much when I tried playing it on my flatscreen TV.

[@suzu9404]

I really appreciate the time you put into documenting rhythm game history and meta. Great stuff!

[@sykilik101]

9:04 "OH MY FUCKING GOD!" Before you even said a word, I already knew that scream and that voice anywhere. LOL

[@blockrocka225]

This is my favorite GH setlist. Nothing rocks quite like 80s rock.

[@sync_nero7591]

Wow, I didn't see this video coming at all, considering this game only has 2 difficult songs. But I enjoyed it! Thank you Etienne!

[@CyanCrayonGH]

This was great, very cool to know who actually got some of the 1st evers in this game!

[@redgh]

0:57

[@EtienneYT]

For the thumbnail, I used the same title sequence cause I was lazy and forgot that it also edits the one I used for the intro, so it double-layered god damnit lmfao. idk how I even missed that

[@DaManGH]

Awesome video. I never got to own this game, so it’s really cool to learn more about its history!

[@gagewilliams1980]

will you ever make a score progression on gh3??? if so, is it going to be mostly about ttfaf or is it going to be bigger then all the other score progression videos featuring who were the upcoming new players?

[@AbyssionQC]

Hot take: the ballroom blitz cover is better than the original

[@stephgh1flamyphantom230]

I hate to agree but your right

[@infrarain]

correct

[@alexrocha9265]

I'd say is both better that the original song by Sweet and better than the Krokus cover it's based on

[@oxygen9635]

0:57 double layered text lol

[@anface]

heart of a lion and wings of a bat

[@Nahoc]

lmfao I remember JLC choking because its midnight like it was yesterday

[@spinesttiger119]

Can’t wait for gh3 score

[@punkloser1465]

When is GH3 progression video?

[@oncedidmedea]

no matter what the topic is, your videos make my day!

[@miroslavbulldosex]

I absolutely love this video

[@NasonVSRG]

Would love to see you dive in to rock band soon!

[@watermelonman8430]

I'd love a short video on the bass scores haha!

[@krispykreme]

I'd love a history of JLC video

[@jeffyanderpson3397]

Another great video. good job Etienne

[@qtipman6485]

FINAALLY THE BEST ONE

[@madguy228]

score progression encore: fcs the 80s

[@StriiderEclipse]

Here to suggest Score Progression - Supernovae, now that it’s been completed

[@thegamingboyzandsaber7865]

ive been waiting for this video

[@miekhi5626]

babe wake up new Etienne video

[@patxd5623]

Didnt know this existed is really intresting

[@AutisticHighHeeler]

I remember that JamesLikeCoulter video from 2007 😄

[@bassslinger8191]

Could do the entire Soulless series. Carny Jared now is the first person to do an entire series FC, Also a Video for Supernovae would be incredible. Consideration how many people from the rhythm game and charting communities participated It could make for an interesting piece of documentation. Jared also Fc'd that.

[@rosettastoned5002]

Can’t lie, i forgot this entire title existed

[@nope.nope.nope1]

I’m surprised there was no mention of “Play With Me” in this video, unless I missed it. Did that song get FC’d fairly quickly after the game came out? I feel like that song could’ve gotten a second of fame within this video

[@CallMeNevermore]

iamchris4life FC‘d it on the same day the game was released.

[@Imaproshaman7]

Always so good.

[@phoenixv2460]

This is interesting Considering the fact that this game was a 60$ DLC/Add on to guitar hero 2 I'm surprised that it even had presents in the GH community

[@josh_uz1520]

I love me some 480i GH80s vids, my best 80s fc on Expert is probably Round and Round

[@0nedairy]

So no gh3SP?

[@fluffyy-8341]

so much nostalgia

[@Mickelraven]

Are you gonna do the whole series? Including side games like GH Aerosmith, Metallica, Smash Hits, Band Hero, and Van Halen?

[@micro_aggressor]

Hope he does.

[@plasmakitten4261]

Well the one problem with that is that once Flames was FCd, there was little future games could do to present a real challenge to top players. I guess GHM could be interesting, and maybe WOR but that was so late.

[@Mickelraven]

@@plasmakitten4261 I think one way to make the later games' score progression more interesting, is to include full band FC's too. I've heard that Fury Of The Storm wasn't FBFC'd until just a few months ago.

[@bigluxurious]

incredible!

[@spawncampingnoob]

holy shit this video's out?

[@Genjink]

New etienne video equals good day

[@GreenDeLeBean]
