"Through the Fire and the Flames" even made it into the Guinness Book of World Records in 2009, after one dedicated guitarist played a near-perfect rendition of the song to the tune of 973,954 points. "Through the Fire and the Flames" became a mainstay on YouTube at the height of Guitar Hero's populartiy, as players uploaded clips of themselves surviving the nearly 8-minute song you can check one of YouTube's most viewed (and not work-safe) videos in that genre below.

The most familiar of these tracks - which include songs by Lamb of God and Megadeth - is "Through the Fire and the Flames." After its introduction to the series in Guitar Hero 3, the song quickly gained notoriety as Guitar Hero's most intense track. PT, players can check out the Shred-a-Thon channel on Guitar Hero TV, Live's online streaming mode, to play five intense songs on a constant loop. Guitar Hero Live will be available locally on October the 23rd.Activision launched a special event in Guitar Hero Live today, and with it comes the return of the franchise's most notorious track: "Through the Fire and the Flames" by Dragonforce.

Personally, I hope that the good ol’ classic face melter, ‘Through the Fire and Flames’ by DragonForce, makes an appearance on Guitar Hero TV at some point. The next thing to get to grips with is the non-standard rhythm patterns that use the open strums as a pedal note. “The intro riff on the acoustic throws some fairly quick string skipping in there (black to white) mixed in with lots of open strums, so you have to become quite agile at changing strings. A tough one to get to grips with, but nailing the riff is really rewarding once you get the pattern. And of course, a savage solo melts your face off at the peak of the track. “This is a classic Lamb of God riff that bluesy feel with technical curveballs thrown at you every so often finished off with some bar-crossing rhythms to catch you off guard. Mike Mclafferty – Audio Designer: Ghost Walking by Lamb of God Everything that you’ve played before means nothing if you don’t hold it down and nail the end.” Then all that’s left is the endurance test that is the outro. Keep up with the changes in tempo to make it through to the solo where you get a chance to show off. If you haven’t already given up, the driving verse riffs require tight, consistent timing.
“The track starts out with a soft acoustic into that is deceptively intricate, any mistakes here will really stand out. Nathan Coppard – Senior Game Designer: Cry of Achilles by Alter Bridge The way to get through it is by keeping your eye out for the strummed notes before HOPOS then let your fingering hand do the rest!”
Marty Friedman is a precise player and moves around the neck a lot so this is represented in the mark-up. “This song is hard because of the rhythms in the solos.
Here are their responses (via VG247): Aaron Grimes – Midi Designer: Hangar 18 by Megadeth Three devs from FreeStyleGames were asked to choose what they feel are the hardest songs to play. The game will provide a whole new challenge, but which of its songs will really test the capabilities of returning virtual guitar veterans? Which tracks will be an absolute nightmare to master with the new system? Now though, with Guitar Hero Live mixing up the formula (thanks to its new controller), I’m back down to being a complete rookie. Previous titles had me addicted for hours on end, to the point where, after much practice, I was able to wow my friends by playing some of the most challenging songs on expert difficulty.
I’m rather fond of the Guitar Hero franchise.
