Talk:Guitar Queer-O

message: Maybe its too obvious, but chasing the dragon is slang for smoking heroin (compared to injecting it intravenously).
Allso Heroine is a female hero, so heroine hero is a pretty lame name for a game :D

message: While Stan is playing the driving game there's a song playing (before Kansas) that's obviously sung by Trey Parker. I can't really tell but it sounds a lot like the song that plays in the episode 'Spontaneous Combustion' while Randy, Stan and Kyle are trying to solve the global warming problem. Does anyone else think so?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 137.44.1.200 (talk) 00:11, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  The song while Stan is 'driving' 

message: I put in the part about the KILE sign infront of the bowling alley. I first thought it was a mistake, then realized his first name was mispelled too. I think with that many spelling errors, it might of been intentional. So I put it in the trivia section and not the mistakrs or goofs sections.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tydamann (talk • contribs) 00:10, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Gather and Discuss Trivia 

message: Just want to start a list of information I obtained regarding Guitar Hero from this episode.
First off, the game used in the episode is the Xbox 360 re-release of Guitar Hero II
Songs heard and/or mentioned in the episode:
* "Carry on Wayward Son" – Kansas
* "I Wanna Be Sedated" – The Ramones (Xbox 360 downloadable track from Guitar Hero Track Pack 4)
* "John the Fisherman" – Primus (master track)
* "Jordan" – Buckethead (master track - bonus song)
* "Surrender" – Cheap Trick
* "Woman" – Wolfmother
* Cherry Pie - Warrant  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.245.254.154 (talk) 04:31, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Guitar Hero II for Xbox 360 and songs mentioned/heard 

message: ''
* On the screen the notes were not the correct notes in the actual game. The screen frequently showed long yellow notes with no space in between the back to back notes.
* When Thad is playing John the Fisherman acoustically he begins with a solo type passage constantly changing which frets his fingers are on when in reality the song starts out with many chords that are often repeated.''
*Out of the songs that appear in this episode, only "Pretty Vacant", "Every Rose Has Its Thorn" and "I Remember You" never made it into any Guitar Hero game. Instead, the songs featured in the series by the respective bands are Sex Pistols' "Anarchy in the U.K.", Poison's "Talk Dirty to Me" (both from Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock) and "Nothin' But a Good Time", and Skid Row's "18 and Life" (both from Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks the 80s).
I really doubt even the biggest guitar hero obsessed loser would make sure the notes on the screen match perfectly with that song. On second thoght, they probably would, and with that sudden realization, I have been robbed of anything that was left of my will to live.
Regardless, keeping these would be pointless. What's next? 
*Some argue that in actual guitar hero, humans play, but in the episode, two cardboard cutouts that represent humans do so.

message: It seems like a parody of a specific movie but I have no idea which one...(Those scenes with Kyle playing in some crappy bar etc. seem like a specific parody)Can you think of anything?
Only Poolhall Junkies, but that's about hustling pool tables. In the IMDB SouthPark forums it was mentioned to be a possible parody of the movie Rock Star (2001) with that bar scene being surrounded by a crowd when Stan walks in. --89.60.165.58 21:14, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Parody? 

message: What other referenced are there to this movie? Thad does Jimmy's whole "I quit" thing, and is even snapping his fingers. The manager brings in Thad and Stan wants to see how good he is and he shows off, a lot like the bass player for the movie. Anyone want to do a write-up for it and point out any other references?
Then, we have the Spinal Tap reference for when Nigel Tufnel wants to reunite with St. Hubbins.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.25.12.8 (talk) 08:04, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: That is just filler.  The entire episode revolved around the last few seconds at the end, "you are fags!"  The episode was knocking the game, how this type of entertainment is turning the next generation of children into useless spoiled zombies without a single skill to enable them to survive outside of the womb.  South Park is a comedy show, and comedy is about pleasure; the ending, "you are fags" is what ignited the pleasure centers of the brain, and that is all the show was about; buildup then release.98.165.11.154 (talk) 22:48, 11 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  Sure is. What they do on this show, in case you're new to it, is point out cliches. It's funny because movie genres tend to rethread the same path. Now yes, they also recreate movie moments scene for scene but the sum of its parts is the SP crew pointing out cliches and having fun with them. Utils (talk) 02:45, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

message: I'm almost positive that the game in the episode was Guitar Hero II, but people keep changing it back and forth.  I think they're just confused since III just came out.  If we can clarify it here, maybe we can keep it solid in the article, and hopefully no one is retarded enough to change it without checking first in this thread.

replies: text: I've never played Guitar Hero, but from what I've heard, the game footage isn't from any of the GH games; it was animated by the south park crew. That's what I've been hearing anyway.

message: The article currently says: "The title and plot parody the video game Guitar Hero". I would say that the plot parodies a certain kind of Hollywood movies, but I'm not quite sure what to call that kind of Hollywood clichée plot so as to put it into the article. Any suggestions? --Kvaks 01:59, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Plot parody 

message: It is currently the second highest rated episode in the entire series.[3][4]
-Neither link supports the statement, so I have removed this.
:Yes, they do. This states that Imaginationland Episode III was the highest rated episode since Cartman's Mom is Still a Dirty Slut, which still remains the highest rated episode of all time. It states that the episode drew in 3.9 million viewers. This states that Guitar Queer-o drew in 4.0 million viewers, meaning that this episode broke the previous episode's record and now holds second place for highest rated episode.--Swellman (talk) 15:43, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

text: I think it should be mentioned. And no, it's not a way to advertise a flash game because I added it in there and I didn't create the game.
I was just browsing through the artice after watching the episode last night and I was about to come here and say the links aren't necessary. One...maybe...bu three of them? Not necessary in the slightest. -Sukecchi (talk) 16:13, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
