Guiness World Records announces:

Three months after beating the record for the Highest Score in Guitar
Hero III, Danny “Phenom” Johnson set three new gaming Guinness World
Records on Guitar Hero at the Book Expo America tradeshow on Saturday,
May 30th.

Danny, known for his impeccable manners and modest
disposition – attributes which his father says come from his tight knit
family who accompany him everywhere – has been eager to break
additional Guinness World Records ever since tasting record breaking
victory in February.

The new Guinness World Records set included
the Longest Note Streak on Guitar Hero, with a score of 3,722 and 100%
on the track “Through the Fire and the Flames” during which he also
beat his previously held record for the Highest Score For a Single
Track on Guitar Hero III (XBOX 360) with a score of 985,206.

In
addition, Danny set a new record for the Highest Score on Guitar Hero:
Metallica (Activision, 2009) with a score of 1,009,056 while playing
the track ‘Mercyful Fate’ on PS3 with Dreamgear’s Warbeast guitar.

“I
don’t think there is anything that can stop this kid, his talents are
infinite” his father and manager, Scott Johnson said at the event.
“Danny’s motto is that there will always be somebody better which
drives him to keep improving his abilities.”

A great gift for
Father’s Day, the Guinness World Records Gamer’s Edition 2009 contains
a comprehensive guide to gaming, featuring the latest gaming records,
the history behind gaming, and interviews with key figures in the
industry.
