Sure, they are only plastic instruments, but to some, it is a way of life. Chris Chike, the first person to be enshrined in the Guinness Book of World Records for Guitar Hero supremacy, is one such person. He has recently reclaimed his crown for the highest score on a single song.

His original world record was set back in March of this year, when he recorded a score of 840,647 points on Through the Fire and Flames by Dragonforce. Later on this year his score was surpassed by a Texas teen, who recorded a score 890,971 points. Well Chike is back at it again, this time with his family watching on. When it was all said and done, Chike had re-set a new World Record, with a score of 899,703 points. Below is the video proof:

Guitar Hero is a game that I absolutely love. I stink at it, but there is still nothing that I enjoy more then rocking out on a plastic guitar. When I look at the tremendous number of notes flying by, I am at a loss. Talent like that can't be taught. I can't wait see what guys like this can do with the new Guitar Hero World Tour song creation mode.

The official press release is after the cut.

CHRIS CHIKE REGAINS HIS GUINNESS WORLD RECORD TITLE FOR GUITAR HERO

The Ant Commandos Spokesperson Retakes His Crown For Highest Score on a Single Song in Guitar Hero® III: Legends of Rock

Ontario, Calif-September 11, 2008 - Chris Chike, official spokesperson for The Ant Commandos (TAC) and record-setting Guitar Hero player has officially reclaimed his Guinness World Record Title for High Score on a single song in Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock.

Chike (also known as iamChris4Life online), the first official Guinness Record holder for Guitar Hero was crowned as such in March of this year. In June, a teenager in Texas beat that score and temporarily held the record before Chike won it back this week.

With a new high score of 899,703 points with 97% accuracy and a 1,084 note streak, Chris officially overtook the score of 890,971 points that temporarily cost him his title. With this new high score Chike will go down in the Official Guinness Record Book of 2008 as THE 2008 Guitar Hero record holder on a single song.

When asked about his recent re-crowning, Chris Chike commented "I knew I would get my world record title back. I have already scored 100% on the song; millions of people have seen on Youtube, but it wasn't official for Guinness because I didn't have multiple witnesses in the room. Now it is official! I am THE Guitar Hero record holder for 2008!"

The Minnesota 17-year-old's first Guinness World Record was set earlier this year at the launch of the inaugural "Guinness World Records:
Gamer's Edition 2008" in March 2008. Chike earned the new Guinness World Record for the "Highest Score for a Single Song on Guitar Hero®
III: Legends of Rock" with 840,647 points (a 97% completion on Expert
Level) for the song.

"Chris is an amazing talent," said Raymond Yow, Chief Operating Officer of The Ant Commandos. "Not only has he been assisting The Ant Commandos with the design of our new TAC guitar controller which will be launched later this year, but he has also successfully regained his World Record Title-and all while he was on summer vacation."
