Sydney, AUSTRALIA, November 16th 2010 – Living room legends stepped up for the Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock Battle Sessions final held in Sydney on Saturday 13th November , where Daniel Whitty_ from Victoria was crowned Australia’s official Demi-God of Rock and walked away with a cool $10,000 cash!

Competitors in each state played a series of tracks from Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock to make their way to the national Grand Final. At the final, held at the Sydney Metallic Death Magnetic show, Whitty found himself pitted against ­­­­­­­four other fierce competitors who battled for ultimate rock god status to the track Paranoid (Live) by Metallica and Ozzy Osbourne. The final score was 332,394 to the runner up’s 323,780.

Whitty and the other entrants, who have all been playing Guitar Hero for years, were needless to say very excited not only to compete but also meet Metallica in the flesh – the demi gods of rock themselves!

Touring the country throughout September and October 2010, the Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock Battle Sessions was Australia’s first ever official search for the nation’s ultimate Guitar Hero where players of all levels were invited to compete for a chance at over $10,000 worth of prizes via a guitar showdown.
