Raining Blood, a Slayer song featured on Guitar Hero 3, is the bane of my gaming existence. I have battled this nightmarish tune several times over and failed each and every time. I even unlocked the Blowin’ It achievement (fail any song 10 times) on this song. I think the only way I could ever beat it is by using the special guitar featured on this clever t-shirt.

This simple but funny t-shirt features a guitar shaped controller with one big button. No more ridiculous hammer-ons and pull-offs. No more getting pinky cramps from stretching too far for the orange button. No more failing absolutely ridiculous songs like Raining Blood. While almost $25 is a bit steep for a t-shirt in my opinion, the design is almost cute enough to make me consider it. Almost.

I share your feelings towards Raining Blood. Neversoft ought to be ashamed of themselves for including such a rediculously hard song in Guitar Hero.
Shame on them.
I still find myself trying to beat it on Hard, but just can’t seem to get past Mosh 1.
:(

That shirt is funny! Sad thing, however, I have never played Guitar Hero. :(

The really sad thing is, my friend can beat TTFAF on expert but he can’t 5-star Raining Blood on expert. I had to get his help on beating it on hard, accursed Mosh 1…

I have beaten every single song on Hard, except this one. I actually became so frustrated with it that I stopped trying. Now I just hear that song and my blood pressure goes up. I have never made it past Mosh 1, even with star power. UGH.

Not only is the song hard as hell to get past, but it sucks too… making repeat plays even more unbearable. Ugh.
