True Guitar Hero Sets Guinness World Record
There are many Guitar Hero players that like to think they are better than the average gamer (myself included), but deep down even I know there will always be someone younger, better and faster to come along and put us in our place. Unless you're Chris Chike of Rochester, Minnesota, that is.
Chris (better known as imchris4life to many) let his unrivaled performance speak for itself in New York City this week at the Guinness Book of World Records sponsored gaming event. Chris ripped through DragonForce's "Through the Fire and Flames" with 97% accuracy to achieve an unbelievable score of 840,647 points and earn the coveted "Highest Score for a Single Song on Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock" world record.
While I'm truly impressed with Chris' skills, I can't help but wonder... Why doesn't DragonForce guitarists Herman Li and Sam Totman get the same credit? I mean, they play that shit for reals.
Watch Herman Li and Sam Totman in DragonForce's video for "Through the Fire and Flames" here. While the magic begins instantly, jump to 3:20 for the duel.

Chris is quite a cutie!
Congrats to him! Thats cool that some GH staff was there to see him.
I would really like to see the worlds best Guitar Freaks player. That would be MUCH more impressive.
Well Li and Totman each only did half the work, but Chris played both their parts with one (fake) guitar!
Also, I like the DragonForce song but it will forever stand in my way of beating GH3 on hard mode :(
