IoMP 89: What Is The Most Metal Guitar Hero Game? Part 5

from Influencers of Metal Podcast · host Tom McKay

It’s the dawn of a new era — Guitar Hero: World Tour, the game that expanded the franchise beyond the plastic axe and into full-band territory. But with bigger ambition came one big problem: a metal shortage. Out of 240 playable songs, only 35 were metal.Collin and Tom dive into what should’ve been a shred-fest, but instead gave us a mixed bag of Tool, Korn, and a sprinkle of Ozzy. Was it a bold experiment or a missed opportunity for headbangers? They break down the metal lineup, argue about Tool’s triple appearance, and pitch their dream replacements — from Dream Theater’s “Pull Me Under” to Bullet For My Valentine’s “Scream Aim Fire.”Does World Tour’s metal content make it a true contender for “Most Metal Guitar Hero Game,” or is its quantity issue its biggest downfall?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:Benjamin Tissot "High Octane"Music: bensound.comLicense code: SQHFAQGVXCPA9IA7Artist: : Benjamin TissotSystem of a Down “B.Y.O.B.”Ozzy Osbourne “Mr. Crowley”Motorhead “Overkill”Tool “Parabola”Dream Theater “Pull Me Under”Protest the Hero “Bloodmeat”-----------------------------DISCLAIMER: Copyright Exceptions under the Copyright Act (R.S.C., 1985, c.
