Dear Dragonforce,

Die in a fire.

Love,

Surely Six on Expert is harder than that? No solo there so can't tell completely, though.

[Fanku Kaibutsu]

Because It's Midnight.

Expert.

FUCK!

[Guest Grapehead]

If "One" turns out to be a master track, that will more than pay for the cost of the game for me... I doubt I'll play much of any other song haha... maybe a little "3's and 7's"

[Cactus Drags]

Pfft, I defy anyone to resist Barracuda.

[Fanku Kaibutsu]

According to USA Today, Brett Michaels will be in the game, singing the Poison track, and a track from The Brett Michaels Band(Which I presume will be a bonus song.)

I guess this is cool, in that the idea of having a singer of a song in the game is cool, but Brett Michaels? Of all the potential real-life singers they could've put in the game- Eddie Vedder, Mike D, Bruce Dickenson, Alice Cooper, Anthony Kedis, Ozzy Osbourn, James Hetfield, the dude from AFI, the best they could do is Brett fucking Michaels? Come on, Neversoft, you can do better than that.

And fuck Neversoft for getting rid of Pandora and 'melding' her features with Judy Nails. They got rid of one of my favorite characters, and made another favorite character look ugly.

[Cactus Drags]

How come I haven't heard of this genetic rape? You got a source?

[Guest jaythefisherman]

Or a picture?

Wikipedia citing an IGN video interview.

No Pandora? Fucking lame. She was my favorite.

[EddieRuckus]

According to Wikipedia, here is the box art for the 360 version of Guitar Hero III.

It does indeed look like Pandora has been "spliced" into Judy. Lars Ümlaüt looks downright bad-ass to me, but then again, I always enjoyed the cheese factor of hard rock and metal.

[GoGo Yubari]

As long as Eddie Knox is still in it I'm not going to complain. He's the only one I play as in GHII anyway.

EDIT: ... he's... he's not on the wikipedia page. I. What.

The reason for Clive's removal is that the developers feel Xavier Stone replaces Clive as the 70's rocker

~ wiki

... but. But he's a pastiche of sixties rock. How could they not figure that out?

No seriously I'm okay

Okay, I finally played this game for the first time ever at my friend's house, and I gotta admit, I love it. It was fun playing two player, doing a duet thing or whatever. I found doing a duet one better than battles actually, because if one person is doing bad, it'll make yours sound shitty too, and that sucks. I know it sounds dumb for most, but I found the controller more fun than the guitar! Really! Flipping the triggers were more enjoyable then the guitar. Either way, I plan on buying it, and I wish I actually discovered it sooner.

[Liam]

Awesome, they've added 'She Bangs The Drums' by The Stone Roses (as made famous by, unfortunately) to the game according to IGN. Love the song, should be a good 'un.

The set list is looking better every time I look at it.

[Fanku Kaibutsu]

Yeah, it sucks they got rid of Clive, too. As GoGo said, he's not a 70s character, he's a 60's British character. And I'm kinda glad they got rid of Eddie, I never liked him. Though I am pissed that they got rid of 2 characters everyone loves(Pandora and Clive), yet kept the skanky southern-rock chick.

[Cactus Drags]

As long as Axel Steel and Johnny Napalm remain, I'm happy.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Yeah Johnny Napalm must remain throughout.

I used to play as Eddie Knox for a while but got bored of the whole rock n roll faux-50s vibe. More 1981 punk was required.

[stokeriño]

So: I randomly picked up a Guitar Hero game today for the first time in many months (choosing Guitar Hero 1 because hearing Ace of Spades was what had prompted me to do so in the first place). After playing that song through briefly, I went Career and 5-starred two random tracks on Hard that I never had done before. On my first try and all. Yay.

Unfortunately one of those tracks was Unsung, so now my right arm has fallen off.

[Herr Matzat]

Frets on fire <- you guys know this? it´s much cheaper (free) and you use your keboard as guitar... i just found this on youtube when i was searching for old ECW videos o.O

[King Ellis]

What's that? The sound of someone barging into a games topic to champion a less well known alternative? Why it must be our native German troll!

Anywhoo, whilst i'm here i'll try to steer my post into topical waters. I saw that GHII on 360 will have a My Chemical Romace download. Now 500 points is pricey and I don't have the game yet but i'd be severely tempted when I do. <_>
