Danny Johnson, the Guitar Hero Phenom - Image 1Said to be the hardest song to play on Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock (PS3, 360, Wii, PC), the heavy-metal shredder “Through the Fire and Flames” by DragonForce was no song for the average gamer. 14 year old Danny Johnson from Grapevine, Texas set a new world record in that very song during at a media event sponsored by the Guinness World Records 2009 Gamer’s Edition.

Scoring a whopping 973,954 on Fire and Flames, Danny broke the previous record of 899,703 held by 17 year old Chris Chike. His strategy includes well-timed usage of the Star Power to optimize his point gain. At the event, he played the first 3,558 notes of the 3,722-note song perfectly, until his streak ended when the blue button on his peripheral broke under his frenzy. Apart from an old Guitar Hero world record, Danny also broke 80 peripherals in the last nine months.
