It's 2007, you're in your friend's basement and they bust out a Les Paul with a wii remote inside it, 5 buttons on the neck, and a whammy bar! All of a sudden Guitar Hero 3 was everywhere and Through The Fire And Flames was the most popular video on this new thing called YouTube. Neil and Mike are joined by friend of the show to breakdown why this game was so successful and the impact that both Guitar Hero and Rockband had on the world. This is part 1 of a special 2 part episode, look out for the other half next week!

P.S. enjoy this rare pic of baby Mike trying to figure out how to play a plastic guitar.
