The highest score ever recorded in Guitar Hero was courtesy of English power metal band Dragonforce’s unfathomably fast "Through the Fire and Flames." The song premiered in Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock and will next week become available in the Rock Band library.

Expect the note highway to be much more crowded with Dragonforce's song.
