I probably sound like a broken record, but Painkiller's vocals make me laugh. Uncontrollably. If I were good enough to play the song on expert drums or whatever -- which I'm not -- I'd definitely fail anyways due to laughing too hard.
Why? It's not like Rob Halford even sings that high. There are a lot of metal singers who can hit higher pitches than he can. Hell, I can hit higher pitches than he can.

Painkiller is just a heavier version of the leather metal they've been doing since Breakin' The Law

Thinking of dudes with high voices that would be a bitch to sing, I demand that some rhythm game finally crack the licenseing cherry of Queensryche.
Trying to emulate Geoff Tate will take quite a bit of skill, but I'd love an opportunity to belt out Eyes of a Stranger, Jet City Woman, Spreading the Disease, or The Mission.

It's like a dying cat singing about how fast his motorcycle can go. In falsetto. I just can't see how anyone can take it seriously.
Wrong. It is about knight who rides on flying dragon motorcycle with buzzsaws and saves the post-apocalyptic world. Completely different theme. :rotate:
I don't know why you didn't just post the RB version... I don't think it'd be wildly different in terms of charting. Add in some extra bass notes for Expert+.
“Ain't Talkin Bout Loveâ€
“Atomic Punkâ€
“Eruption†(solo)
“Hot For Teacherâ€
“Ice Cream Manâ€
“Jamie's Cryinâ€
“Jumpâ€
“Panamaâ€
“Running With The Devilâ€
“Unchainedâ€
“You Really Got Meâ€
Similar Tracks Also In The Game
Fountains of Wayne - “Stacy's Momâ€
Jimmy Eat World - “Painâ€
Tenacious D - “Master Exploderâ€
The Clash - “Safe European Homeâ€
The Offspring - “Pretty Fly For A White Guyâ€
Third Eye Blind - “Semi-Charmed Lifeâ€
Weezer - “Dope Noseâ€
Yellowcard - “The Takedownâ€
19 songs I'm interested in. But why the hell are "Eruption" and "You Really Got Me" not together?
So that definitely warrants a purchase when it price-drops to $30 or below.
Also, Santa, "Semi-Charmed Life" is pretty much confirmed in Rock Band. I mean, the lead singer straight up said on his Twitter that "Yeah, we just re-recorded six songs for Rock Band". And Rock Band is known for six-packs. And he named off specific songs, it wasn't a vague B-52's-style thing.
The real challenge would be limiting yourself to one Dave Grohl song per disc title.
GH2: Monkey Wrench and Heart Shaped Box
RB: In Bloom and Learn to Fly
RB2: Drain You and Everlong
You forgot "Go With the Flow" featuring Grohl on the first RB disc.
EDIT: Master Exploder I think might have him, too. I know he did a good amount of songs for The Pick of Destiny.
Grohl actually didn't play drums on Go With The Flow, that was Gene Trautmann. Grohl did all of the rest of Songs for the Deaf except for Millionaire. (which was also Trautmann)
I don't know why you didn't just post the RB version... I don't think it'd be wildly different in terms of charting. Add in some extra bass notes for Expert+.
I would guess they would be pretty similar, but double bass will add *lot* to the song.

I know, but until it's officially announced, it's still just a rumour. A strong rumour, but still just a rumour.

Seeing Queen appearing more frequently made me go back and listen to some of their stuff. And weirdly, I want to belt out Princes of the Universe and, if they can remove the Highlander soundbites, Gimme the Prize.
Also damnit after RB I always imagine the BRE coming up (would be at 2:32 in that vid)
Having seen it at E3, not very much. A lot more chords and sporadic solo charting.

So at my local Fry's there selling a Logitech PS3 GH:WT strat. Thing is, it doesn't look like the pack-in one. Anyone heard anything about it? Like is it a regular WT Strat, just in a different box or is it actually different in things like size/weight?
The non-exportable songs are probably Hendrix, because apparently only six of the DLC songs can't be played in GH5, and do remind me how many Hendrix songs are DLC.
This is certainly a pleasant surprise. It's only a shame that the charts for Smash Hits are so variable in quality. Otherwise, that's certainly an amazingly progressive step forwards for Guitar Hero. If Metallica and Van Halen also had exportability to Guitar Hero 5, then we'd have something truly magical.
Those Wii features are pretty neat. Nice use of the DS.

Upon initial boot you can select to have the game do an auto sign-in with your profile, and using the system's Wii code – not game specific friend codes – it'll automatically find your friends and keep you signed in the entire time. Every time you boot the game after that (as long as you selected it as an initial setting) the game will log you in, reference your Wii system number for friend info, and keep you connected to the Nintendo WFC at all times. This is the first game out of the gate that obliterates friend codes entirely, and from what we're hearing its tech that will now be available to any devs out there that want to rid themselves of the game-specific codes and instead use the system code itself. Good call.
tl;dr Nintendo WFC works like Live now.

Um... well. Looks like I'll be renting Smash Hits. With this and now Singstar, my PS3's going to need a bigger hard drive. I'd still like to see Band Hero exportable.

I can guarantee that, once the general public realises this, Smash Hits' sales with skyrocket. Or at least increase. This is excellent, more than I was hoping for. Christ, why did it take them so long just to say that though? I'm getting the impression a few of their relicencing deals were a bit askew. Tool for GH5 though....? Whoa. I'm VERY impressed now. (Theoretically of course if the 6 is all Hendrix)
Live update: I have it! Problem: I don't have my 360 as I'm currently loaning it to a mate for a film along with my World Tour stuff, however I'll have it back later this night so - here's hoping.

This is pretty cool, though the curse of releasing so many games close together is that the two newest titles (only a month apart!) can't be exportable between each other. I'd really just like everything to be in Band Hero, since it's the latest one chronologically.

Unbreakable, I think that undermines the principal of Band Hero. Mind you, I think any exporting to Band Hero undermines the idea of the game. BUT! I've managed to justify through the mentality - Everything between GH: 3 and GH: 5 was 'band' orientated rather than Guitar. Now, 5'll be more Guitar based and Band Hero will be more band orientated. Basically, things with BORING AS HELL guitar parts will most likely be in Band Hero.
'Cept most of Smash Hits stuff is more guitar orientated considering it's 1, 2, 3, 80's and Aerosmith brought back...
ARG. Bugger it, YAY! Compatibility! Also, it sounds like they intend to KEEP forward compatibility in that future games so....
Eh, judging from the two songlists so far, I think I'll vastly prefer BH to GH5.
I just wish they hadn't chosen such a godawful name. What's wrong with Pop Hero, huh, Activision? If you really need to keep the "Hero" name attached then Pop Hero sounds better, and it gives people an idea as to what it's actually about. Band Hero sounds like Guitar Hero with a band. You know, like GH:WT.

Yeah no, I've yet to figure out why Guitar Hero wasn't Guitar Hero 4: World Tour. Mind you, Activision's never been the best at naming stuff. :P Makes me chuckle personally.

Some have guessed that it's because they didn't want a game called GHIV. Which almost sounds sufficiently Standards And Practices to be true.
Well they switched to a standard numeral for 5, but I guess that kind of thing was impossible a year ago.

Hrm, well hey. That's as good a reason as any.
Also, guys I've added you on Live and I now have Gold. Best bet is to try and catch me on here as I have to disconnect my comp to get my 360 access to the net, however whenever I'm free I'll be on here so it's pretty much the same deal. :P
Warning: I don't have a headset yet, so communication will be a tad slow. :P

Because then like only 5 people would ever get to play You Really Got Me on expert guitar.

Yes.

I'll be on WT later, so if anyone wants to play, just send me an invite/message/friend request. Gamertag should be painfully obvious.
