  • Solid review! As someone who's only recently gotten into the series thanks to Clone Hero, it's really cool to see what the original games were like. I was always confused on why they used covers. Budgetary thing probably, or weirdly perhaps they didn't have the full license? After all, it is possible for someone to make a cover without asking the original artist. But still, it's very weird. Not that the new versions are bad, but it is something I wasn't expecting. Great use of Frankenstein in the review. Killer instrumental! And the use of Equestria Girls to sum up the Sum 51 cover was hystrerical! I'm really excited to see where it goes from here. As a big fan of all 3 channels you mentioned at the start, this was a solid first review.

    As a dualshock player (I don't own a gh1 or 2 or 3 stratocaster) I've actually done somewhat well learning it
