Consider us impressed floored. Chris "iamchris4life" Chike, the recognized Guinness world record holder for the highest single-song point tally in Guitar Hero III has gone and done what many considered impossible. In the above YouTube video, Chike 100-percents Dragonforce's "Through the Fire and the Flames," revered and dreaded by fans as the most difficult song in GH3.
Watch in amazement – as we did – while Chike powers through the song on expert difficulty without missing a single note. In the end, he not only fully completed the song (beating his previous best of 97%) but scored 987,786 points (his best run prior to this netted 840,647). Our hats, glasses, and all other accessories are off to you, Chris. Now, may we offer you an ice pack for your hand?
[Thanks, Wibby!]

Actually, Joystiq already posted this story once. I can't find it now, but one of the bloggers had said something like 'now that all the guitar hero songs have been mastered, yes, even this one,'with a link on to this youtube page on the words "this one."

He could have done ANYTHING in that amount of time, but this is obviously what he wanted to do. If it hadn't been him, it would have been someone else...eventually. This is very impressive. I know I'm not this good, but I'd be damn proud of myself if I was.
Bottom line: There is no reason for you to hate. I'm sure you are an expert at the real guitar and get laid all the time, right? Maybe not...

What is there to be jealous about? Of all the insults you could have said, you pick one that makes no sense. Fail.

Well, he 100%'d Psychobilly Freakout on a TAC guitar. (He is sponsored by TAC)
If he can do that, then he must be able to do well on a Rockband Guitar, because TAC guitars are crap as well.
Hopefully, he has some sort of say in their next guitar controller design.

If I were him I would have smashed that guitar into the screen once I got to the end. It would have been perfect.

As someone who is an experienced musician and who can plays parts(yes the two solos) on this on real guitar I have to say,
This is way fucking harder on guitar hero.

That the thing I don't like about GH.
They make the songs harder than they are in real life for the sake of having a "super hard song". How about you make it feel like we're playing the song/instrument instead of having us bash buttons at mind-bending speeds?

It's a long freaking song, dude. And I don't care what you losers say, this is epic. I don't see any of you posting a video doing anything better. :P
