Not Just Another Guitar Hero Preview

[ENKC]

DER NER NER. DER NER NER - der ner ner - DER NER NER.

Dave Mustaine is the MAN. I own all Megadeth's albums on oldfangled CD and their DVDs. I've just ordered the CD/DVD set for Rust in Peace live. Saw them last year and am pumped to see them again this year with "The Other MegaDave" back in the band.

So, you know, count me in for this game. I should get my RROD 360 fixed.

Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock moves away from the shred-tastic tone of previous games in the series in favor of a stronger rock focus, a focus untarnished by the series' previous concessions to the soft rock world. So, goodbye, Elton John; hello, Megadeth.

This makes absolutely no sense at all. Megadeth is shred-tastic. To "shred" means to play fast, ridiculously complex solos, something that is almost (but not entirely) exclusive to progressive rock and metal acts. So saying that GH:WoR (kinda sounds like GWAR!) is moving away from a shred-tastic tone would really mean that it's doing more Elton John.

Other than that, I have no issue with more Megadeth. Except for the fact that I haven't heard a good Megadeth song past Rust in Peace. Okay, maybe Countdown to Extinction.
