Guitar Hero: World Tour

Re: Guitar Hero 4

I would love a Metallica Guitar Hero. Maybe throw in associated bands like Slayer, Megadeth and Anthrax.

Auto purchase for me.

Re: Guitar Hero 4

It's GUITAR HERO for crying out loud. Guitar Hero to me means ROCK and guitar solos!

Metallica = auto purchase

Re: Guitar Hero 4

Guitar Hero to me means guitar. If I didn't know better, I'd say that the majority of people's favorite songs are normally not the heavy metal songs. In fact, even Metallica nuts' favorite Metallica song is One, that has a very nice light melody for the first four minutes.

We've seen a lot of heavy metal songs. I'd like to see some like the ones I created charts with (3 Doors Down, Alter Bridge, Jimmy Eat World... hell even Creed).

Re: Guitar Hero 4

NO Creed. God no. They need more country stuff. And not bastardized metal covers of country songs either.

Re: Guitar Hero 4

Anything different presentation-wise with the crowd, star power, or overall atmosphere? Rock Band really jumped out with that and made it feel like you were doing a concert... GH3 not so much.

The visuals of rock band and years beyond Guitar Hero's. Really gets you into the music like your there much better than GH

I'd buy it without a second thought. This would be 1000x better than GH: Aerosmith

Re: Guitar Hero 4

A year ago, this would have been exciting, but One is on GHIII, and Rock Band has Ride the Lightning, Blackened, Enter Sandman, and And Justice for All. I like Metallica, but my cup runneth over on virtual cover band songs for them. Even Master of Puppets sounds like more fun than it is, because that is a LONG song, lol. Not one you do lightly. Creeping Death is another one that is sexier in theory. The guitar in that song is extremely repetitive, and not something that would be fun on the guitar controller the way it is on a real guitar.

This was a weird move, just because there are already so many classic Metallica songs already available to play. I could see a DLC pack for this, but a whole game? Very strange.

Re: Guitar Hero 4

GH: Metallica is a must buy. No Leaf Clover would be incredible to play.

Personally, save the poppy crap for Rock Band. To me, Rock Band is more family oriented.

Guitar Hero should be about songs where the guitar stands out.

Not a single one of those bands you mentioned has anything that would 'wow' someone or even excite anyone in playing.

Though I'd much rather see something by Jimmy Eat World in Rock Band, I could see "The Middle" being in a Guitar Hero game. Sure, it's probably the poppiest thing JEW has done but it's got that great guitar solo; it could be one of those lower level songs at least. Not so much any of those other bands though (referring to Alter Bridge, 3 Doors Down, etc.)

I mean, if The Killers, Pat Benatar, No Doubt, and The Strokes can get into a GH game, no reason that JEW, a band with talent, can't.

Re: Guitar Hero 4

I don't quite see how we're not allowed one Creed song, but instead we get bands like The Butthole Surfers. I think you guys can accept a few mellower songs for the first tier songs. I love Guitar Hero, but I swear, Juno was right... Sonic Youth is just noise. Kool Thing is the worst song I've ever played on a Guitar Hero game, ever. And they need to get better bonus songs as well.

And 3 Doors Down and Alter Bridge have great Guitar Hero songs. Here are three of my own created Alter Bridge charts. If you don't think these are half-decent, then I don't know what is.

Re: Guitar Hero 4

The day Creed is put in Guitar Hero is the day I renounce the franchise.

[callmetaternuts]

Re: Guitar Hero 4

Agreed, I could do without Creed's awfulness on the big screen.

Re: Guitar Hero 4

The gameplay kind of speaks for itself, so any details about the songlist would be awesome. A couple bands have already been confirmed, but the more we know about the music content, the better. The game will only be as good as its soundtrack.

I'll see what I can find out in regards to the music selection...

There are plenty of great Metallica songs that haven't been featured in a game yet. One is so good that I hope they include it on GH: Metallica anyway (free DLC), but there is what I would hope to see, just off the top of my head:

Four Horsemen
Jump in the Fire
Seek and Destroy
Fade to Black
For Whom the Bell Tolls
Call of Ktulu
Battery
Master of Puppets
Welcome Home (Sanitarium)
Orion
Blackened
Harvester of Sorrow
Frayed Ends of Sanity
Enter Sandman
Wherever I May Roam
Unforgiven
Sad But True
King Nothing
Hero of the Day

And absolutely nothing off Reload or St. Anger. Both are garbage, but I'm sure there will be something anyway. The more they focus on the older stuff (I'd take the entire album for Master of Puppets), the better.
