The best Guitar Hero video. Ever.

by Blake Snow { Oct 20th 2006 at 3:55PM }

Watch as Pizza the Hut plays Guitar Hero on a projection screen with a double neck axe, only to walk off stage (read: his garage) after finishing.

THAT. IS. AWESOME.

Erik @ Oct 20th 2006 4:04PM

Guitar Hero... automatically gets a 1 star rating. GARBAGE. ENOUGH with Guitar Hero.. please.

C. Grant @ Oct 20th 2006 4:08PM

Guys, Erik doesn't like it. So let's all just move along, k?

jonny @ Oct 20th 2006 4:10PM

I call bullshit. At 55 seconds you can see on the screen that both sides are successfully playing a two button chord. then it cuts to him and he's clearly only playing a single guitar.

BULLSHIT.

hENNIFER @ Oct 20th 2006 4:11PM

With a name like Erik, no wonder you hate GH -- no traditional viking theme songs.. here's one... "we're here.. we're vikings.. and it's our wive's we're striking!!"

Miniboss @ Oct 20th 2006 4:15PM

@ 4.

Yeah, probably. Though it looks like he may have had some kind of foot pedal that makes it switch to using one of the necks for both inputs? Either way, it's a cool little video, if nothing else.

"4. I call bullshit. At 55 seconds you can see on the screen that both sides are successfully playing a two button chord. then it cuts to him and he's clearly only playing a single guitar.

BULLSHIT."

You are not too perceptive are you there buddy? If you watch closely you will clearly see he is running a splitter/joiner box (its what he keeps stomping on) in order to switch between the guitars or play both at the same time. Thats why he always plays the bottom guitar when playing the two guitar parts. The input from the bottom guitar gets switched to outputting the notes as if it is two guitars then back again.

Don't be a hater for the sake of being a hater. Especially if you are too dumb to pick up on something so obvious.

Cool video, but I would have like to see him hit every note to get a 10/10 not its a 9.7 with the bonus for creativity.

E.J. @ Oct 20th 2006 4:20PM

jonny and erik, obviously you two aren't working stiffs like myself and a lot of the readers of this site.

lighten up, it's friday.

Splinter Cell Double Agent is waiting for me at home.

FSK405K @ Oct 20th 2006 4:21PM

Not a very accurate Pizza the Hut representation. There wasn't any food falling of of him, even.

Usedtabe @ Oct 20th 2006 4:21PM

The pedal was nothing more than an Ibanez effects pedal for a real guitar. Have a few myself.

I agree, the video doesn't match with the playing. A lot of the times it shows 2 players on screen playing a note, while he's only playing 1 guitar.

Plus, common sense goes a long way. Why have 2 guitars when all you need is a pedal that makes 1 input mimic as 2? (if this were the case)

Hypocrisy at its best.

Usedtabe @ Oct 20th 2006 4:30PM

I take that back...it looks more like a BOSS brand effects pedal. But still, it's an effects pedal. At most a tuner or qualizer

hENNIFER @ Oct 20th 2006 4:34PM

So, UsedTabe, it'd be theoretically impossible to take apart an effects pedal and turn it into a cable splitter/repeater?

Tim @ Oct 20th 2006 4:40PM

That has got to be the most kick ass game modification ever.

Yaktastic @ Oct 20th 2006 4:43PM

@ usedtabe... if both were always functioning as one then he would fail out due to all of the wrong notes coming from the silent part... (well not fail out in competition, but it would not work as successfully)

flashpoint zero @ Oct 20th 2006 4:46PM

ummm is it just me, or is that video FRIGGIN JAW-SOME!!!!!!!!!!!! stop bickering about how he did it, just revel in the fact that Pizza-Man was wielding a Dual-Axe!

BIGGEN @ Oct 20th 2006 4:48PM

my god you f*ckers even fight over this video. such lil b*tches. the video is supposed to be FUNNY. i just can't wait til GH2 comes out on 360.

Usedtabe @ Oct 20th 2006 4:49PM

Maybe, buit highly unlikely. Might as well just build one from scratch. Besides, if you watch closely, he doesn't step on the "supposed switcher" until 1:49, while at 0:58 he's already playing a double note on just one of the guitars. So, assuming he stepped on the switcher to turn it on(as the video seems to be set up for you to believe), then how does he play a double note on 1 guitar at 0:58?

BIGGEN @ Oct 20th 2006 4:52PM

erik, why a 1 star? cause you suck at it? yeah. i figured.

FSK405K @ Oct 20th 2006 4:53PM

It's editing. He probably played it a few times, with different cameras, then spliced all the videos together to make it more dramatic. Like Milli Vanilli, or however you spell it.

Dirtyboy @ Oct 20th 2006 4:57PM

Who cares whether the performance was real or not, it was freaking hilarious watching him rock out.

matt @ Oct 20th 2006 5:29PM

that is a (Boss) guitar effects pedal, but it's been gutted, as noted by the absence of knobs and the fact that the cords are running through the holes for the 1/4in jacks. my bet is that he probably just used the switch/box because he had a broken one (or extra) that he could gut and use for the sake of reliability - you can't break a Boss.

clay @ Oct 20th 2006 6:02PM

ahh its so annoying how everyone who plays GH never picks alternatively, ITS SO MUCH EASIER! People say no it isn't, umm once you get used to it, it is! Well since I play guitar and bass.... other then that the vid is okay. just wish he took off the stupid costume

alec @ Oct 20th 2006 6:34PM

MOST OF THE GOD DAMN TIME were watching the slice of pizza i mean come on its fake i bet they had 2 cameras one watching the pizza and one watching the tv and i bet you that the time that we were watching the guy in the pizza suit he was fucking it up this is not the best guitar hero video ever

Rawnblade @ Oct 20th 2006 7:25PM

Oh my god. Stop analyzing the god damn video and take it for what it is: a guy in a pizza suit playing on the most wicked mod ever. Don't get so into it, whether he actually played or not, just watch the thing and laugh at the idea. Pull the sticks out of yer bums.

I enjoyed it, either way.

ZB @ Oct 20th 2006 8:13PM

It's obviously edited. His guitar strap comes off right around the two minute mark.

I've never played Guitar Hero. This is an awesome video. Let the copycat-ing begin!

ejflex @ Oct 20th 2006 8:39PM

First of all... I actually DONT hate guitar hero haha.. just enjoy seeing people get ticked off when I bash it. I mean it is a bit much, I believe... but whatever.

And hENNIFER.. that was hilarious. Indeed I do have viking blood flowing through me. Was that supposed to be an insult though?! I'm pretty proud of the fact that the Vikings dominated Europe and interbred with the Irish/English/Germans etc and gave them their light hair and light eyes. :) I'm pretty happy I'm a stud with blue eyes my self. Thanks hEN

shiftup @ Oct 20th 2006 9:34PM

Dear Erik:
please stop your bitching and run out and buy Guitar hero before we all murder you.

OMG this is so awesome. To be born with a very crappy, very felt, pizza likeness is just too great. I hate my life

shiftup @ Oct 20th 2006 9:45PM

Id like to say something else. This is why I like joystiq better than kotaku or other game blogs. because they can post a video of a man in a pizza suit playing guitar hero with a weird guitar and give it a title like the best guitar hero video ever, and lots of people in the comments will agree.

run on sentences ftw!!

teamsteve @ Oct 20th 2006 10:10PM

I was skeptical about this being the best guitar hero video ever, but boy was I ever wrong

Mitsuo @ Oct 20th 2006 10:41PM

Wow...this video is HORRIBLE! It'd be kick ass if he actualy did it correctly, but you can just tell it's fake. I mean how can he play both sides at once when he's only on one side of the guitar! Common sense people!

Nao Lo Ding @ Oct 21st 2006 1:15AM

Nothing personal, but I think most people look dumb as hell while they are playing Guitar Hero. I know I sure do, and this guy is no different. The double axe is pretty cool, but even that and a pizza suit fail to make this interesting. You want funny, go to Wal-mart or Best Buy and watch the guy trying to show off playing Iron Man on medium and missing half the notes. That's funny.

LoopyChew @ Oct 21st 2006 3:52AM

@32:

Yes, people look like absolute jackasses when playing Guitar Hero. Or Dance Dance Revolution. Or any of those games. Or Karaoke.

That's actually a good part of the fun. So much the better if you're actually good at the game, but if you don't know how fun it feels to just cut loose and not give a damn about what people think, you're missing out on why it's so awesome watching a guy put on a frakking pizza suit and play on a double-axe.

NeverSage @ Oct 22nd 2006 4:46PM

Funny vid. I don't know what you guys mean by fake or real. I don't know how he was playing the guitar parts where he has to hold out notes on both guitars, but he was obviously playing both parts when they were alternating. because he suxxored then.

trevsweb @ Oct 23rd 2006 3:22AM

i didnt know pizza dogs could play guitar.. awesome!

J-Lew @ Oct 25th 2006 6:34PM

That's obviously a result of clever editing. Fake. NO ONE would put a video of themselves on the internet with that big blue station wagon looking thing in the background.

Anon - I - mousse @ Oct 30th 2006 4:47PM

Regardless of what everyone thinks (fake or real bl bla) the uploader of the video says in the comments section
"MrPeetZa (1 week ago)
You can't buy it.. I built it from 2 controllers."

so there you go...

p.d. and what's up with the "viking dude", srsly

ekwoah @ Oct 30th 2006 5:26PM

Someone needs to make a video with two tvs on top of each other playing guitar hero and dance dance revolution at THE SAME TIME

ChangWang2k3 @ Oct 31st 2006 6:36PM

In a couple threads in the GH forums, this guy explains how he built the mod, and the PEDAL that allows you to switch between necks...: http://forum.guitarherogame.com/Default.aspx?g=posts&t=7495

"yes, then foot pedal makes it so that either neck sends a signal to both 1st and 2nd."
