"Guitar Hero" is one of my most favorite games ever. I'm very good at it, and I'm really excited to get the new "Guitar Hero Live" game that recently came out. This is a countdown of the top 10 hardest songs on "Guitar Hero" that I've ever played and beaten.

10. "Sudden Death" by Megadeth

This song was written and composed by Megadeth specifically for the making of "Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock." This song has basically no pattern in the solos, and they're so hard to master. The easy parts are the simple strums that take up half of the song.

9. "Surfing With the Alien" by Joe Satriani

I played this song at Disney World on an arcade version of "Guitar Hero," and it was so fun. The song is so tricky and upbeat, and you have to be able to play some extremely hard parts that only someone who isn't human can play 100% accurately.

8. "Through the Fire and the Flames" by Dragonforce

Everyone knows this song as the hardest one at the very end of "Guitar Hero 3." Most people who stopped playing "Guitar Hero" after this iteration of the game don't think there would ever be a harder song. Those people must not know about the following seven!

7. "Black Widow of La Porte" by John 5

This might be one of my favorite songs to play, but it's also extremely difficult. It's in "Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock," and is one of the difficult songs at the end of the game that you can only unlock after beating the entire game. The song is so tough and requires so much effort to beat.

6. "For the Love of God" by Steve Vai

I also played this song on that same "Guitar Hero" arcade game in Florida. This song is written by one of the best guitarists in the world, and starts off a bit slow. It ends pretty quickly, and the second half of the song is just an insane solo.

5. "Eruption" by Van Halen

ALL SOLO. It is very short but so difficult, which should be easy to tell by both the name of the song and by the artist. I can't say much, other than that it's very fast paced and isn't for beginners. And maybe not even for your average and more experienced players.

4. "Jordan" by Buckethead

Throwing it back to "Guitar Hero 2," this is a bonus song that no one expects to be crazy, and then all of a sudden, you're playing one of the hardest solos ever. Buckethead is a master at tough songs and solos, and "Jordan" is certainly one of the hardest.

3. "This Day We Fight!" by Megadeth

This is one of the most awkwardly-paced songs ever, and I still haven't figured it out entirely. It's also much harder, in my opinion, than "Sudden Death." Either way, Megadeth always makes the hardest songs.

2. "Fury of the Storm" by Dragonforce

Oh, my God. There's one stretch of this song where it's just all hammer-ons and insane fret-work. Don't even try to hit all of them. Just strum for your life and tap random buttons. As a matter of fact, do that for the entire song. You might do well.

1. "The Devil Went Down to Georgia" by the Charlie Daniels Band (remade by Steve Ouimette)

I quit. I've never actually beaten this song, to be honest. I've never actually played it. I just know from seeing it that if I actually tried it, it would be the hardest. This is the final song in "Guitar Hero 3," but you never actually play the full song unless you download it. Either way, Steve Ouimette did an amazing job with it.

Tiana would no doubt be disappointed in the food our cafeteria has to offer.

And hopefully she would cook for everyone in her dorm.

She definitley would not take any 8:00 am classes because she would be up late baking and cleaning up the communal kitchen that are available in every dorm.

The dynamics of any friend group are usually determined by the personalities which make it up. Chances are, while personalities may overlap, each person in your friend group holds his or her own place. It is the differences which bring the groups together and keep them functioning. No matter how functionally dysfunctional your friend group may be, if you're anything like me, you feel absolutely blessed to have found such a wonderful group of humans to call "your people."
