Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. In "Guitar Hero: Aerosmith", how many opening acts do you have to play before you play as Aerosmith in each area?

Answer: two

These opening acts are from bands who Aerosmith is influenced by, likes or headlined for. This is also the first time there is a halfway encore of the Aerosmith songs.

2. What was the last "Guitar Hero" game developed by Harmonix?

Answer: Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks the 80's

"Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks the 80's" is an expansion pack to "Guitar Hero 2". It is not as well-liked by many players because they paid the same price for this expansion pack and the regular game.

3. Which is the only fictional guitarist that you battle?

Answer: Lou

The name Lou is considered to be a shortened version of Lucifer due to his appearance. The battle song against Lou is a cover of "The Devil Went Down to Georgia" performed by Steve Omuilette.

4. What songs have the loading screen say "Good Luck"?

Answer: "Through the Fire and Flames" and "Kings and Queens"

These songs are unlocked during the credits of "Guitar Hero 3" and "Guitar Hero Aerosmith". This loading screen appears on the expert difficulty of these two songs.

5. Which game has "Free Bird" as the final song?

Answer: Guitar Hero 2

In the original "Guitar Hero", a loading screen said, "They don't really want you to play 'Free Bird', they're just heckling you." When a loading screen in "Guitar Hero 2" said "Remember, NO STAIRWAY", many fans expected the final song in the next game to be "Stairway to Heaven", which did not happen.

6. What is not a song in the original "Guitar Hero"?

Answer: "War Pigs"

"War Pigs" is in "Guitar Hero 2" as an encore. It is one of the longest songs in this game, only shorter than "Free Bird".

7. What are Ho's and Po's?

Answer: Hammer-on's and Pull-off's

The Hammer-on/Pull-off technique evolved greatly throughout the series. In the original, you had to keep holding the notes before/after it was played in order to perform a po/ho, and in the second this was changed, but you had to hold down the strum bar, and in the third everything was free game, allowing tapping to be used for songs like "Through the Fire and Flames".

8. Who is not a character in the original "Guitar Hero"?

Answer: Lars Umlat

Lars was in "Guitar Hero 2". Pandora is the only one of these not to be in "Guitar Hero 3".

9. What is the only non-80's song in "Guitar Hero: Rocks the 80's"?

Answer: "Because its Midnight"

"Because its Midnight" is performed by a fictional eighty's hair metal band from the Homestarrunner universe. This band just happens to be Strong Bad's favorite band.

10. How many characters are on stage during the opening act songs in "Guitar Hero: Aerosmith"?

Answer: Five

In all of the other games for the series had four members in the band (guitarist, drummer, bassist, and singer/keyboardist). "Guitar Hero: Aerosmith" added a rhythm guitarist, bringing the number of people on stage to five.
