Guitar Hero was one of the biggest Franchises of the Mid to Later 2000's. But the Rise and Fall of Guitar Hero were equally quick. Why did Guitar Hero die? What happened to Guitar Hero? Guitar Hero Games were released from 2005-2015, but how exactly did Guitar Hero die? Looking back at the History of Guitar Hero.

I'm surprised they haven't released a Guitar Hero Collection for current gen, including a bunch of songs from each of the previous GH games.

[AdamG]

Forgot to mention..

GH Rocks the 80s
GH Smash Hits
Rock Band AC/DC

Clone Hero...over 5000 songs in my library, including every song from every Guitar Hero and Rock Band game ever made + DLC...for free...it's a no-brainer.

I feel like guitar hero could come back if they made an HD remake of Legends of Rock with better sound, nothing else changed

[FoxyGrandpa]

My go to games back in the day were Guitar Hero, Halo and COD. I miss those days. Also, I have to say that Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock and Smash Hits were two of the heaviest Guitar Hero soundtracks ever put out. I loved them.

When Guitar Hero first launched and people scoffed at it, I think everyone underestimated just how many people secretly wanted to be rockstars but lacked the actual talent to do so in reality. It was absolutely insane how popular this franchise got for what it was.

It’s kinda sad that Guitar Hero Warriors Of Rock didn’t sell so good cuz the game is really good

[frankiesaupp]

I remember guitar hero was the first time I heard "one" by Metallica. I was thinking why it was one of the last songs, as it wasn't that hard. Then the double bass kicked in and I was eh not too bad. Then the solo hit and I proceeded to jump out of my window and try to comprehend wtf was going on. Good times. Now I love metallica

[ronaldraygun]

I am sad to say I abandoned guitar hero after world tour however I do owe a lot to guitar hero. After completing most of the games on expert and craving more of a challenge I picked up a real guitar and have now been a guitar player for over a decade. If it weren’t for guitar hero I’d have never found my passion

[stonedpanda]

Who else still play guitar hero in 2019 I know I do

[fanamatakecick]

What’s sad:
Warriors of Rock was the 2nd best Guitar Hero games (imo) and it was the least profitable

“Everyone has a guitar hero controller laying around”

Me: *Looks over to see the Guitar Hero Controller I’ve had for 10 years in my closet*

[Skarfar]

As a PC-player, our options for Guitar Hero was pretty limited, and it was a real shame that it didn't release on the platform earlier.
The only games that got officialy released for PC were, GH3, GH: Aerosmith and GH WT.
Fortunately, today we got Clone Hero, and it's ever growing library of custom songs.

[GazingSkies]

To be fair, DJ Hero 2 is still one of my favorite rhythm games hands down

[tristanmarsh]

I will never give up guitar hero ever that was my childhood

[sethgarza]

Okay so hear me out, guitar hero remastered😳

[DrGru]

Greed kill the franchise... And yet, more developers follow this kind of evil trend.

[MDGtv]

I think Rocksmith should get a mention. It took the whole idea of real guitar hero and made it actually real.

[Haktuar]

I was a huge Guitar Hero fan in middle school, got into it during the heyday of Guitar Hero III. Those games will always have a special place in my heart. They truly cemented my taste in music and made me a rock and metalhead to this day. Later, playing Rock Band inspired me to get a real drumset. I still have my PS2 set up with GH2, 3, Metallica, and fire them up whenever I get the itch.

Here’s an interesting fact, Guitar Hero Live is the most expensive game to ever exist. With all dlc included it would be worth thousands of dollars. I think like 19, 000 USD in total or something.
