Nice to see Kings of Leon on a music games, other than that though it's pretty much as you were.

That is quite a fantastic Band list with lots of potential. The only thing I am worried about is the gameplay being up to snuff because World Tour was quite bad and the current premese sounds ridiculously Gimmicky.

"Queen and David Bowie" So that'll be "Under Pressure" then, unless they've calibrated on another song I don;t know about. Glad to see The Rolling Stones on there. |

A slight improvement over WT thanks to Motley Crue and Megadeth, but that'll hardly make me rush out and buy it unless the Megadeth song is Holy Wars...The Punishment Due, which is pretty much the best song in existence.
EDIT: Dr.Mott beat me to it XD

Finally some Arctic Monkeys! Shame it's on Activision's poorly thought out series rather than Rock Band.

A Perfect Circle! Balls, I said that I wouldn't bother with another GH game.

King Crimson?! Now that's a welcome surprise.... 21st Century Schizoid Man maybe?
Under Pressure sounds like a little gift for (mediocre) bass players, and maybe an introduction to double vocals. Santana, Jeff Beck and Rush round up a very interesting band list, while I really don't know what to think of the inclusion of Elton John and Stevie Wonder... |

Superstion, yeah, but it would be better if it was the Stevie Ray Vaughn version....
QOTSA and Eagles of Death Metal! Josh Homme FTW!!! Why no Clapton??? Seems very strange, I know that Led Zep said no due to having to hand over the masters, but why has it only ever been Sunshine of your love, I want some more Cream and Derek and the Dominoes but nothing after '73 please, he became very booring! Also more Stone Roses please. Actually why can't they make a "Guitar Hero: just for Mortey" game? :) |

I won't play Guitar Hero until The Cat Empire is added to the roster.

Is GH 5 going to be ps2 as well?
I couldn't tell. I can't afford $400 for a ps3!!!!!!!!!!! Hopefully the price will go down like they said. And you CAN use GH and Rock Band sets for each other. I know, I have them both!! I heard there were problems with the drums, though. But I haven't had any at all. |
