    I’d like to what you think of this song list. Even though those bands rock, most of the songs chosen for the list

    make

    me

    yawn.

  2. devster says:

    I like the fact that there is a bit more classic rock… and the fact that alot of the songs on this game i can play on real guitar…

  3. will says:

  4. Andrew says:

    They need to make Guitar Hero lll

    * welcome to the jungle –
    * black betty – spiderbait
    * jamie’s cryin – van halen
    * closer – nine inch nails
    * teen spirt – nirvana

  6. Dave says:

    They need Danzig’s Mother

  7. AndWhatsNext says:

    Metallica aren’t the easiest band to work with when it comes to song rights — they only joined the iTunes generation about a month ago. I wouldn’t be surprised if rights issues had a fairly significant bearing on the song choices.

    Personally, I wish the tracks weren’t all so RAWK. A little bit more of a mix would be nice. Though I have to admit, it is amusing to hear my 5-year-old hum along to “Smoke on the Water.”

  8. Jack says:

    I have to say I am so incredibly happy to see Rev. Horton Heat on the list. Its good to have a song that isn’t so rockish to put in the mix. Also, Psychobilly Freakout is almost entirly a really fast solo. It should be a fun challenge. I recommend that anyone who has not heard it, to listen to a sample on iTunes or something.

  9. Bryan 'The Fantasyman' says:

    Need.

    More.

    Bowie.

  10. N0ly says:
