From creating basic clones to modding Guitar Hero 3, which originally launched on PC, the community has tried almost everything, but never found an ideal solution. In recent years they have tried multiple solutions to keep playing, as consoles and guitars slowly start to die.

Hosting were me, Dragonfly, Jimmy, Tristan (referred to as Eris here), Lazorical, and AD_79. On top of that, there's also Tristan Clark (formerly known as and others to thank for making these tunes in the first place.Īlso thanks to anybody who gives this setlist a go! Truthfully most of the tracks are tame and a Full Combo is easily achievable, but I will appreciate any further playthroughs and feedback! HUGE credit to the project lead of Eviternity, for playtesting these as they came along musician responsible for many of the bangers in the setlist, for providing feedback, backstory, and MP3s and the both of them for being good friends.
