Wiki link for the song "Guitar Hero"[edit]

Someone had removed the line regarding the song called "Guitar Hero" by Monkey Steals the Peach simply because it didn't have a Wiki link. So far, I haven't found anything that says every line on a disambiguation page must have a link. Besides, Monkey Steals the Peach is just a redirect Ashida Kim (which doesn't state anything about music).

Currently, an article titled Guitar Hero (song) doesn't exist at the moment. It is likely that one will never be created as there isn't enough information about the song and it isn't notable. Even if there is enough information on the band's MySpace page (http://www.myspace.com/monkeystealsthepeach), it wouldn't be a reliable source.

Having a link to Guitar Hero (video game) isn't really wise as that is already Wiki linked earlier.

This is why opted not to include a Wiki link in the first place, however, I felt it was important enough to note on the disambiguation page as it is in a notable video game that has the exact same name.

So unless either a Wiki link to List of songs in Guitar Hero#Bonus songs or an external link the band's MySpace page is added, I don't see any point in having a link to anything right now.

Coining of the word "Guitar Hero"[edit]

Years before the now famous video game, here's a clip from 1989 of a Night Tracks announcer using the word "guitar hero". I've looked all over for the original meaning of "guitar hero" and all I find is the video game. Can anyone care to explain the original meaning? Night Tracks (talk) 06:47, 21 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The original sense is obvious to anyone with a little grounding in the rock community, but I'm not sure when it was first coined. Probably the seventies, the golden age of Jimmy Page, Ace Frehley and Ritchie Blackmore, of fifteen-minute guitar solos.83.254.151.33 (talk) 11:15, 1 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Guitar hero referring to guitar players[edit]

Hello @Masem, I wonder whether there is an article dedicated to "guitar heroes" as the famous guitar players of the 1970s, 1980s and onwards. This is by far the most common sense about the expression "guitar hero", before the video game, contest or album. It even has an interwiki in French and Italian, Wikidata ID is Q3120680. Thanks!
