Boris
In which I tire of English power metal, fire, and flames
If there’s one thing I’m rather tired of when playing Guitar Hero III online, it’s people picking Through The Fire And Flames in head-to-head battles. Yes, I realise just how much it represents everything a hard Guitar Hero song should be, with its sinewy riffs and finger-blistering chords. But the novelty of it gets old. Real, real fast.
It’s like first few times you go online and your opponent picks the song, you’re all, like, “Whoa! Oh, no!” and you figure you’re in for an epic thrashing because, like, if he chose that one, he has to be good; but after a few fights you’re mostly, like, “Not again!” when it pops up, because the guy who picked it thinks he’s, like, clever for doing so, but he can’t even keep his multiplier at x2 for, like, a full measure, and the song is too long so it all becomes a chorus of broken chords, which ends up being this, like, colossal waste.
Which is why I am openly petitioning the good people at Activision to include Boris’ face melting Statement as a playable song in an upcoming Guitar Hero release. Just listen to its gritty metal-thirsty thrashings and slicing “oo-oo” vocals flare up with a psychedelic twist. I am of the opinion, that as far as vigorous, smiting guitarwork goes, this powerful song of mammoth proportions would pose a colossal challenge to even the most dextrous master of the orange fret.
So take note: Statement is a remarkably imposing song that does everything it should, in about half the time a power metal band can.
