Loren posted a music video on Youtube for his single “I Hope You’re Happy (Guitar Hero Gone),” and within a short time, the rhythm gaming community discovered the video, and a YouTube fracas between Loren’s fans and Guitar Hero/Rock Band fans ensued in the comments. While tempers were initially high on both sides, once the controversy subsided, Loren was approached and made the decision to offer his song on the Rock Band Network.[MORE]
