SLAYER!
I've got the guitar bundle on my Amazon wish list; seems like a good way to get a wireless controller instead of an iffy one from a third party. Speaking of which, is there such a thing as a Guitar Hero controller that's closer in size to a real guitar?
'Nuff said.
I had a feeling Rock Band was going to come in and kick GH out of the water. Now it's looking like that might not be the case.
This is gonna be awesome.
SLAYER?!
FUCKING SLAYER??!!!11!
Yeah, I might want this a little bit.
Also, I've been waiting forever for "One" to show up on a GH game. Add in "Paranoid," "The Number of the Beast," "Through the Fire and the Flames," and "Take This Life," and you've got one hell of a game.
I pretty much like everything on there. Kudos to the people who created the song list.
*Monsters - Matchbook Romance
I still think there could have been better choices than Raining Blood, but I won't complain, I do love that song a lot. I think Skeletons of Society would have been much more fun though.
I'm pumped as hell for "My Curse". Maybe I will go back on my previous plan and just buy Guitar Hero for Wii.
You mean you WEREN'T going to get it on Wii?
"Devil Went Down to Georgia"? That's badass.
Final song :) Looks HARD AS HELL
I would kill to get some Arch Enemy or Nevermore on one of these games.
Like "Angel of Death?"
EDIT:just imagine the solo...

On the other hand Rock Band does have a few of the more contemporary bands around (even the Australian band "Jet" but they were bound to be on one or the other after being involved with all the advertising worldwide, notably for the iPod).
YES.
YES.
