    Gaming Phenomenon Dominates Guitar Hero

    14-year-old sets three new Guitar Hero records.
    Three months after beating the record for the Highest Score in Guitar Hero III, Danny “Phenom” Johnson set three new gaming Guinness World Records on Guitar Hero at the Book Expo America tradeshow on Saturday, May 30th.

    Danny, known for his impeccable manners and modest disposition - attributes which his father says come from his tight knit family who accompany him everywhere - has been eager to break additional Guinness World Records ever since tasting record breaking victory in February.

    The new Guinness World Records set included the Longest Note Streak on Guitar Hero, with a score of 3,722 and 100% on the track “Through the Fire and the Flames” during which he also beat his previously held record for the Highest Score For a Single Track on Guitar Hero III (XBOX 360) with a score of 985,206.

    In addition, Danny set a new record for the Highest Score on Guitar Hero: Metallica (Activision, 2009) with a score of 1,009,056 while playing the track 'Mercyful Fate' on PS3 with Dreamgear’s Warbeast guitar.

    “I don’t think there is anything that can stop this kid, his talents are infinite” his father and manager, Scott Johnson said at the event. “Danny’s motto is that there will always be somebody better which drives him to keep improving his abilities.”

    A great gift for Father’s Day, the Guinness World Records Gamer’s Edition 2009 contains a comprehensive guide to gaming, featuring the latest gaming records, the history behind gaming, and interviews with key figures in the industry.

    well done that kid.

    Not a fan of guitar hero, id go as far as saying I hate it. Like most real guitar players. People assume that because you play a real electric guitar you should be really good at guitar hero. Its totaly different. Guitar hero if played alot takes a few months to master. A real guitar takes years to master. Also, i wouldnt call button bashing a "talent".

    Its a good acomplishment none the less and I couldnt do it if I tried.

            My opinion on the guitar hero/rock band games is that they are fun when there is 4+ people and lots of alcohol, its very funny.

              The kid has infinite possibilities ? Lol doing what ? Playing guitar hero ? LOL

              Hes a damn kid, he needs to get out side and get a life. Guitar hero is a good multiplayer game, not a I sit alone in my room and constantly obsess until I get the highest score kinda game.

                That's exactly what I was thinking of when I was reading this article. I love how that one kid played Guitar Hero 'acoustically' at the café and everyone stops and 'listens' (one guy even said 'I love this song!'). Hilarious episode. :thumbsup:

                  Fair play to the kid, setting records doing something he loves, maybe even make a few bob out of it.
