Wouldn't they need to buy the rights to Guitar Hero to do that?

But...it's possible that they are making it; they just didn't reveal the titles yet. XD

Not if they don't put Guitar Hero in the name. They'll just make a knockoff controller with four buttons instead of five to make it easier for their fans, and change Star Power to Rock Power or something else stupid.

I've really liked the progressive rock songs they've had on there. YYZ, Impulse, Push Push...3's and 7's was good. Trippin' on a Hole in a Paper Heart is still one of my favorites. I have a broad range of musical styles that I like, so I suppose they're all good to me. Except Freya. Despised that song. With a passion.

Did you know that there hasn't been a single Led Zeppelin song in the entire Guitar Hero franchise?

That is the height of ridiculousness.

Nor has there been any Hendrix, nor AC/DC...I think it's because they can't get the rights to the songs.

Micheal Jackson, plz. Or the Beatles.

I dunno, there's a lot of songs with potential that'll never get on there because they aren't paying GH enough. /: That or they can't get the rights. (and I wouldn't say it's because someone's dead-they got Heart-shaped box, and Kurt's been dead since before GH.)

Commodore Axilon

Hendrix had a song on the first one.

And I didn't think you needed the original artist's permission to do a cover of one of their songs?

Fishalicious

Hm... I guess I didn't think it through. -braindead... though you can't expect much from a zombie-

I dunno, then. D: but Stairway to Heaven needs to be on Rock Band 2 or something. (Hell, I'd buy the GH games just to play it)

he did? Hmm, I didn't have GH1, so it doesn't surprise me. Wonder why there wasn't anything on the next games then...

The problem is the covers usually suck compared to the originals. Ballroom Blitz disappointed me a bit. Mostly the guitar. The drums were the same though, which is my favorite part, so yay!

Ballroom Blitz on Guitar Hero is a cover of a cover, which is pretty much ridiculous.

The version on Rock Band is a lot better, albeit still a cover.

Honestly, I'm surprised Disney hasn't hopped on the bandwagon by now. Seems they would have created a Hannah Montana or Jonas Brothers knockoff version within a year, but it's been a while and they still haven't thought of it.


Shhhhh!!!!  That's enough out of you good sir!

There hasn't been any ACDC either. (We need a lightning bolt symbol on they keyboard).

I don't know... I'm pretty sure a company sued Nintendo for copyright infringement due to the Wii's ability to detect motion in three-dimensional space or something like that. If Activision's as smart as the said company I neither remember nor care about, then it'd probably be up on Disney's case in a heartbeat.

Anyway, for future songs, I have two words: Sister Hazel. Heck to the yeah. :D



Advanceshipping and Rion had better be Chuck Norris approved.

I actually think it might have been Sony who did that, since their PS3 controller does motion detecting or whatever. Not sure though. Anyways, unless they've patented the idea of a guitar-shaped controller, it's free for knockoffs.

MagmarFire

No, I think it was some company in Texas or something... Yes, the PS3's SIXAXIS controller does utilize motion sensitivity, but I don't think it's able to point at a screen like the Wii.

But...I guess you're right about the patent thing.

I don't think I've ever heard a Michael Jackson song that uses the guitar. I can see the Beatles, though. And you guys mean to tell me that they don't have any Hendrix or Zeppelin? That's not right at all, man. :-* lol.

You'll soon see why.
