Dear Sony,

A simple request. You own Iron Maiden. You own the rights for the production of PlayStation software. I demand that you use these to force the manufacturers of Guitar Hero to do an Iron Maiden edition.

We’ve got an Aerosmith one with Metallica on the way (sadly including a load of crap from recent albums). Maiden have countless classics out there and as far as I’m aware only two have been used in past Guitar Hero games (“Number of the Beast” in III and a cover of “The Trooper” in the XBox 360 version of II, I think).

Who wouldn’t want to riff along to “Aces High” or “Fear of the Dark“? And think of the backdrops that could be used. Classic Maiden live stage sets, Eddie in his multiple forms… It’d shift thousands!

Holy drumming hell!

The guy in the following video is cool as **** for two reasons:

1) He’s made his own drum kit for Guitar Hero III

2) He’s ******* awesome at it as well.

I tried this track on “easy” at Andy‘s some time ago (it’s DragonForce‘s Through The Fire and Flames) and it’s hard as nails. Seriously. No normal human being should be able to play this. Even using the actual controller sold with the game. Never mind a cardboard box stuffed with switches and coated in coloured stickers.

He’s not absolutely perfect – you can hear him start to miss notes around the 6-minute mark (it’s a long song) but who can blame him? Simply ******* awesome.
