If there's anything more metal than breaking multiple copyright laws at the same time, I've yet to see it in my lifetime.
The folks over at the Scorehero forums are at it again, hacking their way through Guitar Hero II. This time, they've managed to replace songs found in the game with custom songs, new note charts and all. A huge list of custom songs (including tunes by Dragonforce, Metallica, Journey, and more) can be found in this thread.
While the original poster in the "How-To" thread claims the process is idiot-proof, I beg to differ. It requires eight separate freeware program downloads, involves a 12-step process that makes my head hurt just looking at it. You'll also need a PlayStation 2 modified to play "backups." Eye of newt, virgin's blood, and horn of unicorn are optional.
On the other hand, having an entirely new set of songs to wail on should appeal to anyone who has spent countless hours mastering the rainbow frets and is itching for something new to conquer.

also, rock!
Dragonforce!???!!11?1//1?!/!?!!
This is the best news I've gotten all week...hell I could win the lottery and this would still top it.
but I forgot I needed a modded ps2.
Anyway if anyone needs help, feel free to send me a PM on Scorehero, enjoy.
Oh and search my name on Youtube for a crapload of custom song videos
Ha, if one couldn't even practice up to pull off that using 5 giant buttons, they shouldn't even bother picking up a real guitar. Blazing a solo like that on small spaced frets requires an enormous amount of skill and dexterity.
thanks for using my master of puppets!
I found this post 2 days ago and had never seen anything like it. With minimal effort over the past two days I created a total replacement for guitar hero, renamed the songs, changed the loading screens, the works.
All you people whining about it being "too much trouble" are a buncha pansy bitches.
they did thunderstruck by acdc and it was pretty badass
famous bands include pink floyd, led zeppelin, the who (though that's gonna be so much funner in rock band), michael jackson, daft punk, phil collins, as well as many many artists. to top it all off, i've got about 10 songs by the black mages in there! nobuo uematsu ftw!!
