Guitar Hero Trivia Questions

1. The original "Guitar Hero" was published by RedOctane and developed by which other studio, later famous for "Rock Band"?

From Quiz
A Setlist of "Guitar Hero" History

Answer: Harmonix

Releasing in 2005, "Guitar Hero" created its own new space in the video gaming industry. While music/rhythm games existed in small, unique scales of their own in earlier years (think "Dance Dance Revolution"), "Guitar Hero" was the first to bring in the faux guitars, allowing players to use a controller to live out their rockstar fantasies. The guitar controller was nothing short of genius; players could hit five fret buttons down the neck while also using the strum bar (a flickable button) to mimic actual guitar-playing. Harmonix, who partnered with RedOctane in making the game, would split off from the latter after a handful of these games, going on to elaborate on the concept with "Rock Band" a few years later. By then, the influence of the brand would have taken root in pop culture.

2. In the career cutscenes, who is the band's drummer?

From Quiz Guitar Hero Smash Hits/Greatest Hits

Answer: Axel Steel

From Quiz A Setlist of "Guitar Hero" History

Answer: Gibson

Releasing only a year after the first "Guitar Hero", "Guitar Hero II" didn't need to shake up the concept to get players interested, especially since the game's capabilities and explosive popularity made it quite easy to bag a strong setlist of classic and modern tracks. "Guitar Hero II" would release as a stand-alone disk but also packaged with either a Gibson SG or X-Plorer controller (depending on the console of choice). The real clincher was that "Guitar Hero II" was the first to release on Xbox 360, allowing the franchise to take advantage of downloadable content drops, increasing the song library through Xbox Live purchases.

Answer: Jimi Hendrix

Though Jimi Hendrix's likeness would be used in a later game in the series, only Slash and Tom Morello appeared in the PS3 version (while Bret Michaels, of Poison, was unlockable on Xbox 360). The core version of "Guitar Hero III" didn't deviate all too much from the earlier games in the series otherwise, but it did introduce an online mode on later generation consoles, making the game work for players who wanted to battle with others on PS3, Xbox 360, and Wii). The real shift to be found with "Legends of Rock" was the fact that Harmonix, who left the series in 2007, went on to create "Rock Band" at this time. While Activision acquired RedOctane, the two factions would go on to bring a competitive edge to the rock rhythm genre, fuelling both series for more than a decade after.

From Quiz Guitar Hero Smash Hits/Greatest Hits
