Video: Drop those peripherals: Kid plays Guitar Hero: World Tour... on his bike

This one is just pure awesomeness. Never mind those high-priced Guitar Hero peripherals. This guy played it with his bike.

That's right, we found this video up on YouTube, posted by madflux, and in it, he rides a bike to the music of Activision's Guitar Hero: World Tour's (Xbox 360, PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, Wii) Prisoner of Society by The Living End set on the Difficulty mode of Hard.

Easy? Not. See, madflux and his friends recreated the whole song level, complete with notes and riffs a-flare, throughout their neighborhood. Probably inspired by Dorothy's "follow the yellow brick road" mantra, these guys put stickers on the road to replicate the notes in-game.
He also put in LED lights on the handlebar of his bike that light up along with the notes as well. Methinks this is to help him pace his ride.

It obviously took a whole lot of work to make it work, but we're glad it did. Although some would say that this is just a fake viral ad for Guitar Hero, we'd still say it was darned cool. If that's not the case, and these bunch of guys really just had a whole lot of free time in their hands, then even more props to them!

Here, have a look at it and see for yourselves (and keep a look out for that guy in the KISS costume sometime around the 3:35 mark. Coolness!) .

Clearly done using programmed LED's which is hardly difficult if you know how.

Really he didn't use his bike to play guitar hero............ I was so expecting that he took a broken GH guitar and rigged it up to a f'n BIKE! Pedel for strum, breaks and so on for buttons etc. :P

you are an idiot. you can't do that with computer editing. Those stickers on the ground were clearly real--the light reflecting on them and shadows falling on them prove it.



Do you have any idea how hard it must have been to coordinate his bike riding with the music? He would've had to go at 1 constant perfect speed. Plus those fireworks, paper rolls, etc. were just awesomely coordinated.

The inspiration for this is probably the awesome video to star guitar by chemical brothers:
