One thing that has irked me over the past couple of years is these "Guitar Hero" themed half time shows that several bands have done. It's not that I have a problem with the show itself. What I have a problem with is the fact that these aren't really Guitar Hero shows, they're re-hashed classic rock shows. I keep thinking, "If you're going to do a Guitar Hero show you should do the songs that make the game worth playing, not just worth listening to." I know that it's a little impractical but I think doing some of the fringe titles from the game franchise would be great. It would give the performers something new to play that's at a higher difficulty; and the audience gets to hear something new as well, but also something they'll recognize (maybe).

To this end I've done the first of what will probably be a series of "Guitar Hero" arrangements. "Knights of Cydonia" by Muse.
