From power ballads to heavy metal bangers, the range of songs has left players debating fervently about which ones truly stand out above the rest.
Which songs do you think deserve to be hailed as the finest Guitar Hero songs of all time? The ones that made you feel the music pulsing in your veins, made your fingers dance over the buttons in a frenzied delight?
Sure, Through the Fire and Flames is known in Guitar Hero for its incredibly intense and fast guitar solos, but nothing beats the complexity of a song from Metallica.
Unlike Through the Fire and Flames, which is all about incredibly fast tapping, this song starts with a slow intro but gets heavier as it progresses. The solo is quite challenging since the tapping section completely kills me in Expert mode. (Yeah, okay, I'm not that good, so shut up if you're going to make fun of me or criticize me.)
Right now, I'm playing a real electric guitar. In reality, the song is quite advanced but just needs some practice and experience to get the whole thing down. I'm currently stuck at the part after the section where I got stuck in Expert mode in this song.
I love how this song and Beast and the Harlot are both on the best and worst lists. I personally think this song is much better than the latter and definitely deserves to be on this list.
Best Guitar Hero song ever. It's long, has great lyrics, and an amazing rhythm to it. I'm addicted to the song.
Incredible tune. It's not only easy to like but also very fun to play.
Aw man! This was so frustrating because I couldn't coordinate the main riff with the hammer-ons, even though it seemed so easy. Once you get it, you've got it! Very fun to play!
I do believe that this song is totally one of my favorites to play. It's so fun, and the solo is epic! I can do darn good at it, haha.
The solo is godly and extremely fun to play! Every time I turn on Guitar Hero 3, I have to play this at least once!
Amazing song. Guitar Hero should have one last game dedicated to Avenged Sevenfold. Like this if you agree with me.
Not only the most entertaining song to play on Guitar Hero, but also one of the best songs featured in the series.
Great song for Guitar Hero. Challenging, speedy, but really fun at the same time!
Come on, Bulls on Parade has to be at least in the top 5! With Tom's awesome guitar riffs and Zack's awesome lyrics, this song is the BEST!
Not only is it unanimously the most fun song in GH3, but it may just be the most fun in Guitar Hero history. Yes, Through the Fire and Flames is seven minutes of extreme hammer-ons and pull-offs, but Raining Blood is pure insanity.
There aren't as many tricks to learning the song as there are with Through the Fire and Flames or the solo of One, for example. Speaking of which, One is also a legendary song by a legendary band, but truth be told, it's boring to play until you hit the bridge.
Anyway, if you think you're good at Guitar Hero but haven't played Raining Blood for some reason, I insist that you play it immediately. I promise you'll be glad you did!
Very fun solos, fastest strumming sections in the entire game, challenging, virtually no breaks, and it is brutal the majority of the way through. A true monster to beat and an even bigger one to FC.
The drums on this song are absolutely the most fun part of the game when you start getting good at it.
The Newcomers
I'm looking at this list based solely on the fun factor, and this song is amazingly fun to play once you get the rhythm down.
Number 11 should be number 2! One by Metallica is the best song ever.
Just a well-set-out song. Not overly hard to play, but the music is fantastic.
One of the greatest songs I've ever heard. It has the most amazing beat, meaning, and everything! It's number 1!
Yeah, the Metallica songs are fast and great. But this song challenges your fingers like crazy, too. Great riff as well.
Best song by The Killers. It's way better than Mr. Brightside, in my opinion. Top 3 Guitar Hero song.
I play this song every time I play Guitar Hero since Guitar Hero 2. I've never gotten annoyed by it. It's that great!
It's the best alternative-strum song in Guitar Hero's history.
I like Before I Forget, and playing it on Rock Band 3 is not annoying. It's a very awesome song I've ever heard.
