FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
GUITAR HERO PHENOM CAN RIP IT UP ON THE REAL THING TOO!
Conrad Curry, Guitar Hero–YouTube Celebrity, Is Ready to Show the World It Can Be Done
---
Can’t we all just get along! The animosity continues. John Mayer, Grammy award winner, was recently quoted by Rolling Stones magazine that Guitar Hero was created just to “bring the guitar-playing experience to the masses without them having to put anything into it” implying that a choice has to be made between the two. Slash, ex-guitarist from Guns n’ Roses disagrees. He plays both and admits "I got addicted enough to the point where I actually beat the game…on Medium. (1) " Conrad Curry, YouTube legend, Guitar Hero phenom and sophomore at Dallas Baptist University also disagrees with Mayer.
Eight months ago, a video posted on YouTube demonstrated Conrad’s mad GH skills when Conrad performed to near perfection the hardest song on GH3 within 10 days of its release date. Conrad had no idea that the video would get over 11.5 million views and receive multiple honors including #26 most discussed video of all time of every video ever posted:
“I beat the game at expert within the first two days I had it and mastered the song the third day,” Conrad recalls humbly after being asked how he did it. As the colored buttons scream down and off of the screen, Conrad plays them as he sees them much like a musician virtuoso sight reading the notes of a piece of sheet music for the first time. “Rhythm and coordination are extremely important in Guitar Hero just like they are when I play my electric guitar.” Conrad admits that Guitar Hero and real guitar are not the same but they are not as different as some would make them out to be. “Just because you are really good at one of them doesn’t mean you can’t do the other or be good at the other too.” Conrad sets out to prove just that. On July 2nd, Conrad will be flying from Texas to Maine to visit with the crew at Axewraps.com™. They plan on capturing this phenom in action. They’ve challenged him to play the hardest expert level song on Guitar Hero: Aerosmith, being released on June 29th, at a perfection rate of 90% or better and also prove that Guitar Hero legends can play electric guitar just as well. Axewraps™ plans to post both of these videos to YouTube for the world to see on July 3rd and stop the madness once and for all. Just type in “Conrad Aerosmith” in the YouTube search to see for yourself. Axewraps.com™ is an internet based company that produces and sells vinyl wraps for most electric guitars and Guitar Hero controllers. Their extensive design library and cutting edge AxeWrapper™ make it impossible for anyone to leave the site without finding what they want. # # # If you would like more information about this topic, or to schedule an interview with Conrad Curry, please call Andrew Earle at (207) 699-2920 or e-mail Andrew at Andrew@axewraps.com. 1.

This kid sucks; he's not the best GH/real guitar player out there. Just because you have a popular YouTube video doesn't mean jack shit.
