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

It would be nice, you have chose nice songs but ya know it cost SO MUCH to Activision to have the rights to use the songs in the game? Popular songs like master of puppets or Stairway to heaven cost a lot man! $$$$$$

I agree I think Stairway to Heaven really should have been in GH, but I'd also add more Tenacious D and System of a Down.

I think they need more alternative and indie stuff. Modest Mouse is a must for the next expansion/game/DLC. Even something from the new album, anything! Dashboard would be a great co-op song. If they still need something poppy, they could put MuteMath's "Typical" in. It needs a lot less 80's garbage and less BAD classic rock too. No more Kiss. Kiss is a joke. They're just a stage act. Bret Michaels and all of Poison need to die. Also, why did they use the Dead Kennedy's with their new singer? Bullcrap if you ask me. They need a lot more weird music. More Nine Inch Nails and Mindless Self Indulgence. Oh! "Just" by Radiohead would be awesome. It accelerates so much at the end and catch people off guard. Awesome.

Some System Of A Down definitly should be in there. I can't believe they put garbage like Miss Murder by AFI on it.

I'd definitely change it... make it more like the first two GH games or more like Rock Band. There's some great music in GH3, but I just don't think it stacks up with the competition... but the in-game advertising and disappointing new direction Activision are taking the series in are what really bug me about GH3. Luckily, I think Rock Band entering the fray will force Activision to build a better game next time around.

I hope they continue in the direction they are going. They need more songs from the artists they've already used and they need to add a few more like Led Zepplin, Pink Floyd, Van Halen, etc.

I would put some Deftones, No Doubt, CKY, Queens of the Stone Age, Heart, Paramore, Blondie, and more alternative and pop-ish songs.

EDIT: Modest Mouse, Franz Ferdinand, Pink Floyd.
