The Guitar Hero Thread

Sucks about the White Zombie song. Hopefully they get a better guy to do Rob Zombie's voice. I guess this confirms a metal version of Devil Went Down to Georgia as the final encore. Weren't the Aerosmith and Dead Kennedys songs confirmed earlier, though?

There was a "leaked" set list that a lot of people deemed fake, but a lot of the songs that were recently confirmed (Aerosmith, CDB, etc.) were featured on that list.

... what. I'll do my best to reserve judgment but that sounds so lame.

Maybe will get a special violin attachment for the guitar just for Devil Went Down to Georgia.

Kind of wish they'd went with something better for the final encore, though they probably wanted this song since the final boss battle is against Lou the Devil.

Social Distortion? Oh fuck yes, like I needed another reason to buy this game. They could have picked a better guitar song than Story of My Life, but at least it's Social D.

There's a couple of stinkers there (Kaisers, Chilli's and Killers, I'm looking at you), and plenty I've not heard of, but the same was the case for the first two games, so I'm not too bothered. I take it that list includes both set list and bonus tracks?

Santana - "Black Magic Woman"

Scorpions - "Rock You Like a Hurricane"

Slayer - "Raining Blood"

Those are the ones I'm looking forward to, although I'll have to find someone with it before I can play.

I believe so, as both sites listed it as the 'full' track list. There are still various rumors that Killswitch Engage may be added at some point, so we'll see if anything is announced within the next couple of weeks.

BACKYARD FUCKING BABIES ON GH3?! HOLY SHEEET.

This is the best line-up by far as a result.

[EWRFan]

Some things I read in Gamespot:

- The Wii version uses the remote inside the guitar to activate the star power.

- The wireless PS3 guitar IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH THE PS2 GUITAR HERO GAMES!!(DAMN)

- They will sell custom faceplates for the guitars.

[Fanku Kaibutsu]

I think I'm going to sell my PS2 copy of Guitar Hero 2, then buy a used Xbox 360 version of it after GH3 comes out. Are the extra songs on the 360 version good, as in, fun to play?(besides The Trooper, which is the main reason I want to get the 360 version)

Copying Biggz, the songs I'm looking forward to are:

Aerosmith - "Same Old Song and Dance"

Alice Cooper - "School's Out"

Beastie Boys - "Sabotage"

Black Sabbath - "Paranoid"

Dead Kennedys - "Holiday in Cambodia"

Guns N' Roses - "Welcome to the Jungle"

Heart - "Barracuda"

Iron Maiden - "The Number of the Beast"

Living Colour - "Cult of Personality"

Metallica - "One"

Mountain - "Mississippi Queen"

Pearl Jam - "Even Flow"

Rage Against the Machine - "Bulls on Parade"

Red Hot Chili Peppers - "Suck My Kiss"

Slayer - "Raining Blood"

Slipknot - "Before I Forget"

Smashing Pumpkins - "Cherub Rock"

Tenacious D - "The Metal"

The Rolling Stones - "Paint It, Black"

White Zombie - "Black Sunshine"

Which I think makes this the best guitar hero ever.

[GoGo Yubari]

Oh, what the hell. I, GoGo Arcadia Valencia Hamasaki Valentine Yubari, am hereby declaring my intentions to rock out to...

Alice Cooper - "School's Out"

Beastie Boys - "Sabotage"

Black Sabbath - "Paranoid"

Charlie Daniels Band - "Devil Went Down to Georgia"

Cream - "Sunshine of Your Love"

Dead Kennedys - "Holiday in Cambodia"

Guns N' Roses - "Welcome to the Jungle"

Heart - "Barracuda"

Living Colour - "Cult of Personality"

Pearl Jam - "Even Flow"

The Rolling Stones - "Paint It, Black"

The Strokes - "Reptilia"

... so actually rather less than I was expecting. But the songs I love on here I really, REALLY love.

[ragbag]

Here's the songs that I'll be looking forward to playing in few weeks.

Aerosmith - "Same Old Song and Dance"

Bloc Party - "Helicopter"

Blue Oyster Cult - "Cities on Flame with Rock and Roll"

Charlie Daniels Band - "Devil Went Down to Georgia"

Cream - "Sunshine of Your Love"

Dead Kennedys - "Holiday in Cambodia"

Foghat - "Slow Ride"

Guns N' Roses - "Welcome to the Jungle"

Heart - "Barracuda"

In Flames - "Take This Life"

Iron Maiden - "The Number of the Beast"

Living Colour - "Cult of Personality"

Metallica - "One"

Mountain - "Mississippi Queen"

Muse - "Knights of Cydonia"

Scorpions - "Rock You Like a Hurricane"

Slipknot - "Before I Forget"

Social Distortion - "Story of My Life"

Stevie Ray Vaughn - "Pride and Joy"

The Rolling Stones - "Paint It, Black"

The Who - "The Seeker"

...ok, so I didn't expect to list that many songs, but if somehow that leaked list is right and Killswitch is in as a bonus, they'll be added to that list.

[New Damage]

EDIT: Shitty double post, see below.

Edited October 7, 2007 by TheModernWay

[New Damage]

Guns N' Roses - "Welcome to the Jungle"

Kaiser Chiefs - "Ruby"

Living Colour - "Cult of Personality"

Rage Against the Machine - "Bulls on Parade"

The Killers - "When You Were Young"

Velvet Revolver - "She Builds Quick Machines"

Mmmm, my list looks considerably shorter. Bolds being the main ones. Woulda been so much cooler if they had Velvet Revolver's "Fall To Pieces" instead of SBQM, but I guess it's 'cause SBQM is from their album and it needs pluggery. Same with Metallica's "One", surely there was a better choice? (Enter Sandman anyone ?)

Short list as most of the songs I've not heard, although I've heard OF them. I would say I'm looking forward to Pearl Jam, as I want to like them as I'm a fan of the other three of the Seattle Four (Nirvana, Soundgarden and Alice In Chains), but all the Pearl Jam songs I've heard are meh. Speaking of which, where in the hell is Soundgarden? Fuck off AFI with your Miss Murder, gimme Rusty Cage, Outshined, Black Hole Sun now!

I'm sure that I'll quickly like a lot of the songs on the game when I play it though, after all this was the game that gave me The Exies with "Hey You", and that wasn't even the best song on that album.

GH4 needs more Soundgarden, Alice In Chains (Man In The Box please), Alter Bridge (Find The Real and One Day Remains seem like high end songs), Exies, Shinedown and Black Stone Cherry (Lonely Train, or any song on the album, would be immense).

For those curious, I asked at my local Wal-Mart and the game is $60 without the guitar, $99.99 with. That's american money, by the way.

I wasn't expecting it to be that much with the guitar, but I don't need one yet.

[Liam]

If you have the game on the PS2, will you be able to play it on a PS3?

Just wondering, as I plan to get both in the near future, but likely-hood is that I'll get GH3 a couple of months before I upgrade to the PS3.

[METALMAN]

Think so. The PS2 version won't have bonus downloadable songs though.
