  • wow this is so cool and much more interesting than actually listening to the original track....

  • I always loved that ending rift

  • but dick dale perfect it

  • well, youve hit a FEW of the notes. Do you have any idea what the song is about? OH, RIGHT! you are from the...er...SCIP generation..Stupid, Clueless, Ignorant and Proud of it. Sorry to stress your brain cells. I think you will need both of them...

  • of course it's Greek!!! the original is actually a folk greek song...Initially, the song was composed as a Greek zeibekiko dance, in the rebetiko style of music, at a slower tempo and a different key than the orientalized performances that most are familiar with today... and when we re talking about rebetiko we mean the absolute Greek folk music, really traditional and really harsh!!!!!

  • im a lefty playing as a righty and i still play better -_-

  • wow you suck at gh2

  • Comment removed

  • two words... holy crap.... how did you do that????

  • that sucked!! :p

    wth?

  • Dick Dale is NOT the original artist of this.

    this song is traditional greek song and it was composed back in 1927 by Patrinos!

  • @Angiewinx Actually, Misirlou predates that 1927 recording. It's been around for quite a long time and that 1927 recording is not even the first recording. The wikipedia article is incorrect. Do a search for 'The Mystery of Misirlou'...it's a very interesting article about the history of this song.

  • @Angiewinx Also wrong. It was first performed by Patrinos but not written. Nobody knows the actual composer of the song. Dick Dale in a way is the original artist of THIS song, he kept the melody but his unique guitar playing etc., that's what made it so awesome. At least one can say that it's his amazing arrangement of the song :).

  • @Angiewinx Patrinos was the first performer of the song, but also not the actual composer. Nobody knows who wrote the song but it's Dick Dale's awesome arrangement that made the song so great. His unique guitar playing.

  • @kleinebudde

    What unique guitar playing, He uses only one string !

  • Crazy.

    I was proud to pass on my second time on Hard.

    haha

  • that was really good

  • I prefer this bersion of misirlou that the original

  • I know Dick Dale is the artist but, Where can I find this version?

  • Wow you are awesome at this game. How do you do it????? Wow. Wow. Wow wow wow

  • my arm gets hella tired in this song

  • watch?v=g4fuuXOkMV4

  • i can do ez 1:35 but u can do 1:45 cuz u have the guitar ha

  • OK, now this is misirlou!!! Si ha sido misirlou!!!! Listo!!!

  • Go to 1.35 It is.

  • what are you fucking talking about of course this is misrilou!!!!

  • LFguitarra, you're retarded lol You're probably one of those people that denies that something is authentic because they don't immediately see the ONLY part of something that they recognize. Seriously, make sure you know the WHOLE of something before trying to criticize it based on a PART. Now, until then, we don't need you around here lol

  • Hello.

  • no its expert

  • I want the tabs for the intro part so badly. All i can find online is starting from 1:04. :-/

    And this is a really good video by the way! Nice job!

  • OMG you are pro

  • man this song is hard on medium, after u play it a couple times it gets easy, but on expert its crazy

  • yo, he have better thing to do, he have a life... not like you

  • petersnarski i have 2 words for you anger management. and you are blocked. so why dont you suck big monkey balls u fag!!!!

  • i can beat that score and play it on guitar

  • I can play three songs (two are bonus songs) on expert) Soy Bomb,Radium Eyes,and I forgot the last one, but that was good! I am practicing so soon I will be able to play all songs on expert. But that was nice.

  • better than me check out my page it has me i have a vidio on there with me playing misirlou

  • sad....get a reel guitar

  • sad..can't spell "real"

  • PWNED!

  • Far OUt man! im trying to learn that song on a REAL guitar and then remake it. X)

  • you are the guitar heor

  • Nice one, dude!! I can get only 40% on expert...but I use the joystick =D.

    Anyways, congratulations!!

  • give that guy a fuckin medal!

  • This song is absolutely fuckin nuts. Congrats on 95%. I cant get 95% on hard.

  • nobody cares who you are.

  • debate all you like thisi s incredible. how do you pick that fast?!?!

  • i can do it this well if i have a good run yea its extreamly hard but u have to pick up and down to keep up and I screw my bonus all the time btw dude nice vid

  • by moving ur arm but i shudnt be talking cuz i cant play this

  • I get like 30% on it.( I dont have guitar,I use joystick lol)

  • FODÁSTICO!!!!

  • wow.

  • I can't get past "Psychobilly Freakout" on expert. AGH.

  • Damn, you did way better than me, i could barley play it on expert

  • decent but ive gotten 270k on it =)

  • Whew...I thought I was doing good just by passing the song. Guess I need to work more at it. Kudos to you.

  • DuDe!!! I played that on expert once and it was so hard it made me cry:'( Nice Job!!

  • Yeah I can't even pass the 35% mark on Expert. Good fucking job man.

  • For those wondering and posting false shite, the song is Misirlou (like posted, kudos to GH2 on that) covered by Dick Dale and his Del-tones, Yes there is a trumpet part in the original recording. No its not from the 40's, exact date is unknown, first performed by a band in the 20's the band never told who the original composer was.

  • There's debate about this... some say it's an Egyptian folk tune, others say it's Greek... let's call it "Mediterranean" ;-)

  • As far as I know it is impossible to come back from the dead. So unless the guy that made this video is some freak anomoly I would say he has a life. Now, if he was a zombie his fingers are probably not dextrous enough to play this game. So anyone who says that people don't have a life, consider the facts before you do so.

  • damn good job, dick dale is very difficult to play

  • If your life consists of replying to YouTube videos that you show no interest in, then you must have a really boring life.

  • It's not that they show no interest. You can be sure that 90% of people who post shit like that are more miserable and without a life than the people playing on the videos, and they are probably just really upset that they suck ass at this game.

  • lets see you do this dildo

  • Anyone who says "you have no life" needs to shut the fuck up. Awesome job man.

  • this song is really easy you just need to know the speed of it

  • holy fukin shit ur sik i tired the song on expert i failed like in 10 seconds into the dong

  • i mean like in the game, not the video

  • holy shit did you speed it up or something?

  • I can play this on real guitar well...I gor i life -.-

  • Jesus. I can't even get past 85% on hard. and he got 95 on expert.

  • dude thats frickin good i cant even get to the middle!! nice job.

  • wow... I have tried it on hard and I can only reach like half of the song...

  • fu*k man u realy rock i only get 3 stars

  • I wish I could suck this much at guitar hero

  • why would you want that?

  • rofl well said i can play it on real guitar :)

  • Great job man, I can only 4 Star this one =)

  • awesome vid.

    Is that the tab?

  • Its guitar hero retard

  • Very good job, but you should learn to work with the hammer-ons and pull-offs instead of strumming so much on the ones where hammer-ons and pull-offs are achievable. If you don't go with those in the few blessed spots where you're not strumming like a maniac for the series of continuous notes it will really kill your hand. Good job, though!

  • 5 stars

  • fuck i cant even beat that shit on hard

  • that is sad no i'm kidding

  • UPDATE: i just beat it on hard mode lol

  • That was cool, I like that song.

  • *Cough cough um 555ss, if u saw the end it said expert -_-;

  • You do realize that he got 204K, right?

  • This Guitar Hero version sounds nothing like the song.

  • wow u are fast

  • I think its easy if you have a fast strumming hand

  • everythings easy if you have the skill needed

  • this is harder than playing it on guitar!

  • why do you say that?

  • It is, watch Jordan... :P

  • true

  • arm hurt???!?!? :P lol gj, u did better than me

  • nice the best i can do is 91% and 4*

  • I watched your other video that was amazing. the best i can get on this sone is 170k..... any tips?

  • that was so close o being 4 stars only about 4k points away

  • my friend actually tried playing this by only strumming down only, not very smart

  • u suk

  • umm.. i ment on this song. ok?

  • that was awesome! i can only get about 89% on meduim. good job!

  • you suk

  • Good on you for admitting it!! For the guys claiming that "he sucks" for all you know he could have bought the game yesterday, or better yet, walked into JB HIFI and played misirlou on medium

    Awesome run too btw...insane song. I think its one on 3 that hasn't yet been officially FC'd on expert (Misirlou, Free Bird and Jordan)

  • priest did misirlou and free bird

  • this cramps my elbow, and wrists.... but i can do it.

  • This song is unbelievably easy on real guitar...

  • owie on the hands

  • aweosme! i can barely play thatd on hard

  • actually theres gonna be a guitar hero 3 AND a rock band. RedOctane and Harmonix, the guys who made GH split up. now harmonix is making rock band (with lead&bass guitar, vocals, and drums) and redoctane is making guitar hero 3 (with bosses, one of which is Slash)

  • Get it. it rocks.

  • xnominalx, its NOT going to be a new guitar hero, it going to be Rock Band. from the makers of the first guitar hero.

    how guitar hero encore? anyone know?

  • u hav tryed it on controller??? is impossible dont pass the intro lol

  • Well done

  • Yeah theres going to be a new Guitar Hero called "Rockband" That includes A more detailed guitar, a drum set and a mic for vocals. You don't have to buy the whole lot, and your old guitar hero controlers work with it too.

    Looks good: :)

  • man im on hard and i cant strum fast enough for the guitar break

  • GH3 IS COMING OUT IN FEB OF 2008

  • wow that was some nice strummin, good job :)

  • damn that was some good shit, I can only get like 130,000 at my best, but im good on realy guitar

  • i get to the guitar break then im screwed

  • me, three - I got 79 percent of the way through it and failed; I was so disheartened

    gonna keep on trying, though

    I never beat Bark At The Moon on GHI. I'm determined to finish GHII.

  • damn your good thats the one song stopping me from beating expert mode

  • me too

  • dude your right real guitar is way more fun, i only wish i was good enough to play that. but i only play system of a down

  • misirlou might be the hardest song in the game

  • If yout hink misirlou is hard, then you havnt played Jordan.

  • If only you could play real guitar. You don't know what your missing and how fun this is to play in real life. tsk tsk...

  • Guitar Hero is better why? We have the clicking sound of a synthetic strum bar :)

  • misirlov is fcking screwd up man so hard

  • its gd... best i could get is 30% lol. but still U HAVE 2 GET 100% 2 POST IT LOOKS BETTER SO DONT MAKE AN ASS OF URSELF... still gd!
