Shredder's List, Version 2.

You play as a guitarist in a band. There's a revalation already. Anyway, you have trouble finding gigs
to start off with, but then, your friend, seeing your troubles, invites you to play at his son's 18th. Of course, you accept, and start learning some kickass songs.

Tier 1: Someone's 18th
The Undertones: Teenage Kicks
Stone Roses: I Am the Resurrection
Nine Inch Nails: Head Like a Hole
Godsmack: Whatever
ENCORE: Dire Straits: So Far Away (Encore Effect: A horde of scantily clad 18-year-old girls come up on stage and begin dancing seductively in front of you! Yay!)

Your bassist seems to be getting too egoistic. That's terrible! How dare he take the frontman's job! Speaking of the frontman, he, annoyed by the bassist, pushes him off the stage. Let's hope all that anger and embarrassment doesn't well up inside him! Before there is time for him to retaliate, you are all whisked off to play to two hundred people at a small local festival.


Tier 2: Local Festival
David Bowie: Hang Onto Yourself
Red Hot Chilli Peppers: Scar Tissue
American Hardcore: Before I Break
Bad Religion: Better Off Dead
ENCORE: Placebo: The Bitter End (Encore Effect: Powercut. Have no fear though, as the band glows in the dark! Guess the effect of the aliens from the GH2 final Encore effect has finally caught up with them...)

After blowing the crowd away at the local festival, a record producer offers you a contract, which sees you on your way to Vegas! The whole band is swept away with thoughts of girls, money, and fame. So you're in a rented lorry (You couldn't afford a proper tour bus) on the way to Sin City! Your manager, who is riding with you, suggests you practice a few songs, and you are more than happy to oblige.


Tier 3: Back of Lorry
T. Rex: Summertime Blues
Jethro Tull: Locomotive Breath
Tom Robinson Band: 2-4-6-8 Motorway
Motley Crue: Same Ol’ Situation

Suddenly, your lorry is invaded by pirates! Oh wait, its only Paul Weller...

Boss Battle! Hooray! (Paul Weller)

ENCORE (With Paul Weller) The Jam: Eton Rifles (Encore Effect: Police start to chase you!)

Having gotten away from the Police, and arrived in Vegas, you immediately make your way to the nearest Casino. Time passes before you realise you forgot about your gig! Oh no! Not to worry, as you have all your gear with you, and proceed to play in the Casino you're currently in.


Tier 4: Las Vegas Casino
White Zombie: Blur the Technicolour
Foo Fighters: The One
The Edgar Winter Group: Free Ride
Nirvana: Swap Meet
ENCORE: Audioslave: Be Yourself (Encore Effect: Money pours out of slot machines!)

The band, having raised the roof in Vegas, are invited to play at a Benefit concert for guitarists who have suffered career-ending hand injuries at war. You proceed to the location, and realise you're opening for some of your music idols! You're hitting the big(ish) leagues now!


Tier 5: Benefit Concert
Anti Flag: The Press Corpse
Rage Against The Machine: Bombtrack
Soundgarden: Spoonman
Black Sabbath: Heaven and Hell

Suddenly, Michal Weikath from Helloween comes onto the stage, and challenges you to a battle! Of course, you decline, and walk away from the music scene for good. Just joking, you accept really.)

Boss Battle, Numero Dos: Michael Weikath

ENCORE (With Weiki): Helloween: Mrs. God (Encore Effect: The giant Rock hands that were above the stage fall down! You and Weiki jump out of the way in slow-motion, and then each jump up on the Rock Hands sign and proceed to rock out!)

After impressing Michael Weikath, he lets you in on a little party going on nearby. He says how its not really Helloween's thing, and maybe you would want to check it out. You accept. After all, you played at a number of parties when you were starting out. This won't be much different, right?

Wrong.


Tier 6: House Destruction Party
Lostprophets: To Hell We Ride
Motorhead: Iron Fist
Pearl Jam: Alive
Queens of the Stone Age: Battery Acid
ENCORE: Led Zeppelin: Rock & Roll (Encore Effect: The wall of the room your playing in falls down! Now everyone outside can see you, and a crowd gathers on the front lawn to bask in your rock!

You get a call from your manager. Apparrently you have been nominated for an award at this years Metal Hammer Golden God Awards, and asked to play a set there! You head to England to get ready for your Golden Gods set immediately!


Tier 7: Metal Awards
Tool: Aenema
Evergrey: Blinded
Iron Maiden: Flash of the Blade
Metallica: Leper Messiah

You win the award, and have it presented to you by James Williamson, from Iggy Pop & The Stooges! Having accepted the award, Williamson challenges you to a little Guitar face-off, to see whether you really deserve the award you just won. How can you refuse?


Another Boss Battle…. Whee. (James Williamson)

ENCORE (With James):Iggy Pop & The Stooges: Gimme Danger (Encore Effect: Wall of Death)

Having rocked with Williamson, you head to New York to play an impromptu set at Times Square. Why not? Soon enough, a crowd gathers and you begin to rock out!


Tier 8: Times Square
Hammerfall: Legacy of Kings
System of a Down: Question!
Venom: At War With Satan
Arctic Monkeys: Brianstorm
ENCORE: Guns ‘n’ Roses: Garden of Eden (Encore Effect: A pair of helicopters emerge from behind a building, and shine spotlights down on you from overhead)

Even after this amazing set, the only way you can go is up, and you take this literally by heading up to the roof of the highest skyscraper you can find and launching into your biggest set yet!


Tier 9: Top of Skyscraper
Deep Purple: Speed King
Megadeth: Skull Beneath the Skin
ACDC: Nick of Time
Ozzy Osbourne: Crazy Train

Once you have finished, you turn to see the bassist leering at you menacingly. It seems he never forgot what happened after your set at that 18th Party, and he wants revenge on you all! Oh no! Lightning Strikes him, and suddenly, his Peavey Bass becomes a giant Crucifix Guitar, and the Bassist becomes.....

Boss Battle: Electric Jesus (Remember Kids, Blasphemy is Fun!)



You defeat Electric Jesus to such an extent that he is thrown backwards off the skyscraper! As he's falling, however, he sends a huge shockwave out, destroying many buildings! Soon enough, this crisis escalates to such a point that the world has become a fiery armageddon. Don't ask why, it needs to happen for the Final Encore to work.
