Megadeth frontman Dave Mustaine wants to kick your ass. Well, not literally, but with the original track he wrote for the upcoming Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock.
The song "Sudden Death" (spoiler alert!) plays during the game's final battle, a face-off with the demigod of rock. It's a finger-blistering number written specifically for the game, the intention to push the Guitar Hero player's skills to the limit. Mustaine is proud of the track, which he wrote based on a script and game illustrations provided to him by Neversoft.
How he describes the song: it starts off scary, then it stops, then it picks up pace at the end. That's like going into a record store and saying "I'm looking for this song I heard on the radio. It goes 'dummy dum dum dum' on the bass, and then the drums come in and it's all like 'widdly-wah, widdly-wah' on the guitar right before the singer says 'can you feel my raging heat, come down with it girl.' Do you have that one?"
Check the video above to hear the track, see the note chart in action, and marvel at the fact that Mustaine has had the same haircut for over 25 years.

I've been losing interest in guitar hero 6 since they announced it. so yeah.
I'm excited for Rock Band 3 though!
Either way, dammit Dave: Rock Band...ROCK BAND! NOT Guitar Hero =/
It's only tangentially relevant here, but it still cracks me up.
All of Rust in Peace? Hell yeah! That sounds awesome.
-Also Rock Band 3 teaching you how to play real guitar?
Yeah, learn real boxing by playing Wii Sports.
it's basically the tab coming down at you instead of the colors. so yeah. real guitar.
I wouldn't say always. The first 3 albums were awesome, and even Justice was great. But the Black Album and beyond is where it all went to shit.
Yeah, it teaches you which notes to play. Not how to play them. Rb3 will breed robot guitarists with no style.
I guess what I'm trying to say is, needs
moar slayer!!!
My god, XKCD predicted it!

Also, am I crazy, or is that God of Rock God of War Hades? The helmet even looks broken in the same places.
now i havent had one of these on my machine in about 2 years. so i dont know if it was a random occurrence, or if something sinister is going on behind that video feed.
Mustaine is awesome though, not quite enough to tempt me with the rest of the game, but it's cool.
