As you get older, you tend to realize that your taste in music changes. For example, when i was 15( about three years ago) i was really into punk/alternative rock/emo music. but after gh, my view shifted towards classic and heavy metal. Now i'm a big fan of led Zeppelin.Thats because we as people tend to want more as we mature. If you listen to current day music when your young, you like it because its simplistic beyond belief and doesnt require much think. Its mindless, but it works for the time. as you grow up, you need more complexity with your music. thats why I believe that the soundtrack in the older gh's are better because they have longevity. They are not fad-driven. The people who made that music back then didnt believe in the MTV philosophy that if you do what they say you'll be famous. The rock of years past is far superior because skill in all aspects were required. Lyrics, guitar playing, drumming. It wasnt just yelling into a microphone for 4 minutes. It had a message, something that was lost in transistion etween classic and current rock. Granted there are good songs in it, but as you continue to grow, you'll find out that most ofthe music in GH3 is slapped on. A good example would be to look at the bonus tracks in part 3 compared to the others. The others contained songs from barely known bands, but the songs stuck with you and it was unique. It had longevity. But if you look at that and compared it to gh3, gh3 just slapped on songs to make people think "hey look! we can be cool too! check out my rockin' pad!." it tries hard to be hip, and fails. hopefully they'll learn from this (probably not) and stick with the older stuff...music that actually revolves around skill rather than blatant product placement and incromprehensible banter.
So, after this little rant, i have one question to ask? Do you feel the same way? what song would you take and a replace for another?
For me i would switch "Rock and Roll All Night" by kiss with "Detroit Rock City" by Kiss, and "Before i forget" by Slipknot with "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath" by Black Sabbath...and so on.
i would replace any 20 bonus tracks with the following:
"Dream On" by Aerosmith
"Stairway to heaven" by Led Zeppelin
"Don't Fear The Reaper" by Blue Oyster Cult
"Fragile" by Sting
"Going to California" by Led Zeppelin
"Rock and Roll" by Led Zeppelin
"Master of Puppets" by Metallica
"Mr. Scary" by Dokken
"Crazy Train" by Ozzy Osbourne and Randy Rhodes
"Two minutes til Midnight" by Iron Maiden
"Hallowed Be Thy Name" by Iron Maiden
replace TTFAF with "Cry for Eternity" by dragonforce (if you like TTFAF, you'll love this one more)
"wanted Dead Or Alive" by Bon Jovi
"Highway Star" by Deep Purple
"Kashmir" by Led Zeppelin
"Eruption" by Van Halen
"Hot For Teacher" by Van Halen (hey, every GH has its joke song lol)
"Live Wire" by Motley Crue
"Come as You Are" by Nirvana
"Can't Stand Losing You" by The Police
