Video di YouTube Kenang Guitar Hero

Rifertar- Guitar Hero telah dimatikan oleh Activision. Sebuah video yang memparodikan lagu 'American Pie' pun dibuat untuk mengenang game tersebut.

Video dengan judul 'The Day Guitar Hero Died' dibuat oleh TheWarpZone dan dipublikasikan lewat YouTube seperti disaksikan detikINET, Minggu (20/2/2011).

Bagi mereka yang pernah bermain Guitar Hero, lagu ini boleh dibilang cukup menyentuh. Ia membangkitkan 'kenangan' seperti bermain game di kamar kos saat kuliah.

Lagu itu juga agak menyindir Activision yang nampaknya terlalu fokus pada seri Call of Duty. Hal ini nampak dalam lirik yang menyebut gitar telah diganti oleh senjata.

Tak lupa, lagu itu menyebut-nyebut Rock Band. Ini merupakan game pesaing Guitar Hero yang dibuat oleh Harmonix, pencetus asli seri Guitar Hero.

Video itu bisa disaksikan di YouTube. Sedangkan lagunya juga bisa diunduh secara gratis lewat MediaFire.

Berikut adalah lirik lengkap lagu tersebut:

The Warp Zone - The Day Guitar Hero Died Lyrics

A long, long time ago...
In my college dorm room
Guitar Hero used to made me smile
And I knew if I had no fear
That I could make that fake crowd cheer
And it would make me happy for a while.

But February made me shiver
With every blog post I would quiver
Bad news on the Internet
No more colorful frets

I couldn't believe my tearing eyes
When I read what Kotick did decide
I really wish it was a lie
The day Guitar Hero died

So bye-bye fake guitar playing guy
This decision Activision made
Has left us deprived
Them good ol' boys were drinking red bull and sprite
Singin rock band would have been a good buy
Rock band would have been a good buy

Did you lose your faith in games
When you couldn't perfect Through the Fire and Flames
Did your Star power get too low?

Do you believe what happened here?
Did this game save Slash's music career?
And could you teach me how to play in Easy mode?

Well, I know you love your C-O-D
And are planning Modern Warfare 3
Your guns replaced guitars
And you tomahawked our hearts

I was a lonely teenage legend of rock
With a Boston t-shirt and superman socks
But I found I was nothin' but talk
The day Guitar Hero died

I started singin',
Bye-bye fake guitar playing guy
This decision Activision made
Has left us deprived
Them good ol' boys were drinking red bull and sprite
Singin rock band would have been a good buy
Rock band would have been a good buy

At Neversoft, designers screamed
Musicians cried, and the gamers dreamed?
But we were out of tokens;
And the PS2's were broken

And the songs I 5-starred all the time
Like Free Bird and Sweet Child of Mine
Got stuck on replay in my mind
The day Guitar Hero Died

We were singin'
Bye-bye fake guitar playing guy
This decision Activision made
Has left us deprived
Them good ol' boys were drinking red bull and sprite
Singin rock band would have been a good buy
Rock band would have been a good buy
