Ok, I love guitar. I've played REAL guitar for 8 years and tried the game at Best Buy. I couldn't believe how fun it was. Not only do you workout your finger muscle-memory, but also learn your timing and rythym. I almost spent over $100 to get a ps2 and the game, just to play it that night! But I realized I could be smart and just wait. And why put money in their pockets? I'm a devoted XBoy

My only problem was there were maybe two or three big hits I knew of. Am I missing something? I know its good to learn music we never got a chance to appreciate, but come on, I want those classic riffs I air-jam to in my car! Does anyone else agree? Should they\will they have future songs available for download on Marketplace? All I know is, they better put a rockin' Phish song in the line-up!

Shalom, rockers!

I thought all the GH songs where stupid I heard them all before. You must be really young or just never listened to music in the 90's.

The songs currently on it are okay, but I just want some bands like Def Leppard or AC/DC on it.

There will never be any Zeppelin songs on Guitar Hero franchise (btw, Led Zep is the best band ever), Led Zep's manager, Peter Grant, made it impossible to get Zeppelin music on any media besides on cd's. Zeppelin has only been used once, in a Ford commercial, because the amount of royalties paid to Zep would be soo high, even if it's a cover.

To be realistic I would like Steve Miller Band songs, and actual people playing guitar (like johnny cash, roger waters,  jimi hendrix, etc)

I have never owned Guitar Hero, but from seeing my friends play and seeing game vids I happen to think the songs Red Octane has chosen suit well!

Hopefully for the next one they'll have downloadable content so you can purchase songs by genre.

I recognize most of the songs on here... I don't know what you're talking about. Though Zeppelin wouldn't hurt, naturally.

Oh god no! Please none of that crap! I already hear it on MTV enough. Punk is just mindless strumming. They don't knwo chord structure and thats why you'll never see it on the game!

For the most part I think they've done really well with there songs, you have some classics, some newere songs (which i dont really like, and even funny songs that are really catchy. I trust that III will have a good setup. It would be cool to play some Zepplin songs but yeah, that wont happen.

i knew some of the songs from the first GH.  it was fun though to hear stuff i normally wouldnt listen too.  im pretty sure i know even less of the songs on GHII since i hardly ever listen to the radio.  i know the classics and some stuff but im looking forward to it.  great game.  i would get way to bored playing the songs i listen to all the time i think.

i sail with TheJustin on this one.  i could deal with that genre as DLC but dont load it up from the get go.  real punk is fine but this new age garbage is not punk.  if your record label is Universal or RCA lol, you are not punk lol.

Metal is really great for Guitar Hero, but I think the Classic Rock songs are really fun too.

I like most of the songs on there but the one current band i want to see on there is Dragonforce. If you've never heard them, listen to it now.

wrong, zep's rock and roll was used in a line of caddy commercials last year, and I would LOVE to hear some zep. plus, guns n roses was in guitar hero 2 and axl is a notorious whore. BUT the only way I see it happening is if Page himself was involved, he's way to into these types of things. example- Puff Daddy "Come With Me" :-/

I knew it was in a car commercial, but thought it was Ford, guess I wuz wrong, anyways that was the 1 I was talking about. If anybody did it, it would be Robert Plant or John Paul Jones, they both have kids. Sad to say it but Page is probably too strung out all the time on herion, and probably doesn't even know about the game.

as much as i LOVE the metal in the game, the diversity of the songs definately makes the game. while not every song is a gem, the RATM cover is especially bad, i enjoy the change of pace. GH3 I definately want some Eagles, SOAD, Tool, Pearl Jam, Metallica, and some Doors. and some more "undergound" metal like some In Flames or maybe some Dragonforce to really test the best and just rock out to.

Are you kidding? It's called GUITAR hero. Not METAL hero. Freebird is like 80% guitar solo hence it's appearence in the game. Having metal in the game is great, but excluding songs that actually focus on guitar is just dumb.

I know but I just really don't like lynard skynard. But i guess your right. Anyways, i have a feeling that Guitar villian will be alot more heavy and metal focused

i really think that having songs that we know is a good thing. to me it makes the game 10 times more enjoyable.
