[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_wkZYBJGaMk&fmt=18] Danny Johnson, 14, hailing from Texas set a new Guitar Hero world record with 973,954 points on Dragonforce's "Through The Fire And Flames" at a Best Buy event in New York City. Danny beat the previous record of 899,703 set by Minnesota's Chris Chike.
Danny came within seconds of playing all 3,722 of the song's notes flawlessly, but his streak ended at 3,558 when the blue button on his guitar broke under his assault. Danny said he had destroyed about 80 plastic Guitar Hero controllers in the last nine months with his intense play...and which recently earned him an endorsement deal with a gaming team and event promoter, eMazingGaming.com.
