About TIME someone put Hotel California on it.... seriously. I want to play that song.
That whole list is actually pretty sweet. I wish all those songs were on guitar hero.
hey man trust me the sound fucking sucks it sounds like something from a Atari go to youtube and you'll see what i mean
Dude, Paradise City and Hotel California are two songs that I've been wanting for GH/Rock Band for ever. Unfortunately, the sound on this thing is horrible to cover up the fact that they didn't get the rights to use the songs.
I could give a shit if its a knock off, MASTER OF PUPPETS!!!
hell, that thing's got a jerry garcia guitar body and a dean headstock.
after looking at it who would NOT want to shred it up into little pieces.
the JR. stands for those who vomit on the box rather then imedeatly shredding it.
Haha
Looking at that beautiful Gibson, what is a better brand name...
Robot guitar or Shredmaster Jr.?
as for actual guitars... Gibson>all
I think it's supposed to be a B.C.Rich Virgin..
that thing looks more like a ukelele
You almost got it. As a ukulele player myself, next time try "ukulele". Two "u"s and two "e"s.
"Guinness Book of Records" claims the ukulele is "The World's EASIEST instrument to Learn".
Pick one up on eBay for $35 including s/h, browse for "ukulele tabs" on the web, and you'll be playing tunes in just a few days!
END OF UKULELE COMMERCIAL
My nephew got one for christmas what a piece of junk. It was impossible to play and know one could make it past a song
No, seriously, you DON'T want this. It uses cheap-ass MIDI tunes, and the synth instruments are AWFUL.
If you want a demo, pop over to YouTube and search. You'll be turned off once you see/hear how absolutely craptacular this thing is.
Uber thanks to you

This is the kind of thing you give to a child when you want that child to know how deeply you despise him or her.
But will it blend?
Nope, but I'm thinking a paper shredder would do the trick.
It's the only appropriate fate for this. Seriously, even the state of the packaging makes me depressed.
all your base are belong to us?
I don't know who they got to pick the songs, but they did a *great* job.
C'mon... Iron man??? Master of Puppets??? Hotel California??? I Love Rock N Roll?
It's like they did a google search for "air guitar" and put the most popular results on this thing.
take me down to the paradise city where the grass is green and the girls are pretty...
Take...me...HOOOOOOOMME. yeah yeah!
This has been out for a while...at the store I work at, they've been on clearance since Christmas...for under $10.
isn't this the one from the youtube vid of the punk kid flippin out and dropping it on the ground after he got it for xmas and his mother bitches him out?
Do you have the link?
nah, searched around, couldn't find it, was probably staged
found it, not the shredmaster though, but looks even more craptacular

Hotel California? Master of Puppets? Sign me up.
All of them seem to be on Youtube:

Looks incredible.
This is what you give when your too cheap to give guitar hero
They called the guitar "shredmaster"???? So what the **** did they call their _shredder_ ? Guitar Master I bet; I reckon they got swapped on the way to the packaging designer....
Hopefully I can get 1 million points on expert mode...
I got the Shredmaster. Sr, going for 2 bucks more on Ebay.
Looking at the picture of the box magniied, I think it says it's violation of the "Federal Copyright Law" to "syncronize any music from this disc with videotape or film". Hypocritical, seeing how they probably didn't get permission to use the songs and are getting a profit from this.
