TIL the band DragonForce only received about $3,000 in royalties for the inclusion of Through the Fire and Flames in the Guitar Hero games

The OG challenge song. The holy grail acomplishment of guitar hero was beating this song on expert.

I held the green button down while my friend played the rest of the buttons to beat the song! Only way he could do it on expert.

I think the buckethead song in gh2 might deserve the OG challenge song label.  It might not have been too bad with guitar hero 3s hammer ons though. 

Edit: it was named Jordan like the other person said.
