Title: Guitar Hero
Post by: mikeyj on April 26, 2008, 09:55:26 PM
Does anyone else agree that it'd be cool to have a Beach Boys edition of Guitar Hero? I've heard rumours of Aerosmith and Beatles versions and while I know that a Beach Boys version would never happen, I think it would be pretty cool. I mean thats 70 or so songs to play with. Just my random thought for the day...

This would be great, but how many guitar driven beach boys songs are there? Especially with solos and the like...

the list starts here!

I'd love it personally...I've played the game once, but I wouldn't ever buy it because I can't stand most of the songs.  But I would be all over a Beach Boys version in a heartbeat.

All of this is assuming, of course, that there is a market for it beyond us BB fanatics.  Unfortunately I somehow doubt there is :(

You could do a version with the hits up to 1965, I think.  There are lots of good surf solos and such.

There is a free Guitar Hero clone for PC called "Frets on Fire":

The game is played by a normal keyboard (fake guitar not needed) but the best part is that it's very easy to create playable songs to add to the game.
There's a huge community creating playable-songs and sharing them.

There are no Beach Boys songs that I found... the only seems to be the one I made myself as a test, "Pet Sounds":

Have a look. If there's interest I could create more BB songs.

The live arrangement (I'm thinking Knebworth) of Do it Again
Bluebirds over the Mountain (but you'd have to play the bass part in-between the fills)
All I Want To Do (but same thing, you'd have to play something between the fills)
Dance, Dance, Dance... maybe


I think about this all the time, actually, because my roommate has Guitar Hero III and Rock Band and there's always people over playing one or the other.
