bark at the moon.
so just this past sunday I got guitar hero (don’t even make me link that up, you know what it is). I played it a little when I was at dan’s over thanksgiving and I was hooked.
I tore right through it on EASY mode so I ventured forth on MEDIUM. I was able to successfully complete each song at this new setting and burned right through right up to the very last song to beat the game.
ozzy osbourne’s bark at the moon.
it’s widely regarded as the toughest song in guitar hero and it’s no exaggeration. this song repeatedly kicked my ass. repeatedly.
until tonight.
after my buddy alex came over and showed the song can actually be conquered (the dude is a few years’ veteran of GH) I took a stab at it. I came dangerously close to flaming out right at the end (the song ends with an impossible guitar solo) but I somehow managed to sputter my way to the finish line.
I felt like it was some sort of nerd rite of passage. and it was great.
