IoMP 73: What Is The Most Metal Guitar Hero Game? Part 4
from Influencers of Metal Podcast · host Tom McKay
Before the PS3 and Xbox 360 era, Guitar Hero Encore: Rock the 80s gave PS2 players one last hair-flipping, neon-drenched shred-fest. In this episode, Collin and Tom dig into the game’s 30-song, all-1980s setlist — from Dio’s untouchable “Holy Diver” and Anthrax’s thrash classic “Caught in a Mosh” to glam-heavy hits from Poison and Twisted Sister. With only 11 metal tracks in the mix, can this glitter-covered gem hold its own against the giants of the Heaviest Guitar Hero rankings? Or does Guitar Hero III still reign supreme? Expect deep 80s metal nostalgia, a few surprising discoveries, and more than one questionable glam fashion reference.Check out more from Collin!https://indi1015.ca/shows/thrashers-paradise/https://www.youtube.com/@thrashersparadise4132https://www.instagram.com/thrashers_paradise/https://www.facebook.com/Thrashers.Paradise.666/Check out more from Tom!https://themetalrobot.com/https://www.youtube.com/@MetalRobotReviewshttps://www.facebook.com/theMetalRobothttps://x.com/theMetalRobothttps://www.instagram.com/the.metalrobot/MUSIC:Accept “Balls to the Wall”Anthrax “Caught In a Mosh”Dio “Holy Diver”Ratt “Round and Round”-----------------------------DISCLAIMER: Copyright Exceptions under the Copyright Act (R.S.C., 1985, c.
