You may have achieved immortality by getting 100% on "Through the Fire and Flames" in Guitar Hero III but that doesn't mean the authors of the fan-favorite and blisteringly difficult song want to keep hearing about it. In an interview with Metal Injection, DragonForce guitarist and co-founding member Sam Totman made it explicitly clear they don't want any more Guitar Hero questions.
"Yup, definitely. Don't ask if I can play my own song in Guitar Hero, because I've answered that question about five times a day," Totman said when asked if he was sick of Guitar Hero-related inquiries. But that didn't stop the band member from also crediting the game with giving his British group more popularity in the U.S. "It's made more people like us... it's definitely helped a lot, yeah," Totman said. They've even had fans ask them to sign Guitar Hero controllers: "Sometimes, you know... I don't think they can be bothered to bring them to a gig, but we've signed our fair share of those."
The top-selling third-party games of all time across consoles include GTA V, Call of Duty, and Guitar Hero.

In the summer, we all do things that cool us off. That’s just conventional wisdom. But what if we’ve been going about it all wrong? What if the solution is leaning in to the heat, diving into even hotter activities to show the summer we’re not scared?
Let’s beat summer at its own game here. Whether you want to murder your way through hell or skate over it, gaming has got you covered.
COGconnected - It seems like the era of rhythm game dominance has come and gone but we argue that there's still room for them if they make a few key changes.
No we DONT need guitar hero or rockband. These games have had 7+titles each console cycle and Im tired of these being the mainstream and practically only focused on musical game.
Amplitude was brought back for PS4 yet with the tech and magic of DLC we didnt get it because not only gamers but devs have become out of touch.
Thumper impressed many and is at least a step in the right direction. I rather have more games like thumper. So screw all this rockband and Guitar hero BS! Take your guitars and peripherals and break them in half!

DragonForce suck and the only reason anyone knows them is because of Guitar Hero.
