Was down at Blackpool over the weekend and headed down to the Pleasure Beach on Saturday for some adrenaline-filled fun, and sat right outside the Sandcastle at the South Pier was a massive Guitar Hero stage!!! They are touring all the big cities over the summer holidays, and you can go up on stage and rock out in front of a real crowd!
We went over to take a look and everyone was playing Rock and Roll All Night on Medium, and shit like that, so James and I decided to give it a shot
We bowled up on stage and the girl asked us if we had ever played before (haha
), we asked if we could put it on expert and do a pro-face off and she said we could do whatever we wanted. So we shortened our guitar straps and cranked it up a notch to expert, went straight for the last song on the list (One) and belted out some Metallica
To be honest it was as exciting as any of the rollercoasters I went on that day, the adrenaline rushing through me trying not to miss the hammer-ons, (it wasn't on hyperspeed and I haven't played normal for months lol), I did ok I think, but James nailed it with a 360-odd note streak
We got a round of applause at the end, and some souveniers (GH sweatbands, pleccy keyrings and transfer tattoos lol), and when I told the girl hosting the event she had the best job ever, she said she wished one day she'd be as good at Guitar Hero as we were lol.
I need to find a pub that does Guitar Hero tournies, that'd be awesome.
