Hold the phone, King Crimson's "21st Century Schizoid Man" is set to be on Guitar Hero 5. Though I tend to go with the metal and ska crowds, King Crimson is an amazing group whos songs I am ecstatic to be able to play. Besides, I have my metal fix with Rock Band + DLC.

You can always count on Activision to screw the game up, as it goes on. It's not gonna be that exciting there are not going to be cool guitar solos like earlier version of Guitar Hero. Couldn't they put some songs from Metallica at least?

edit: I didn't notice Children of Bodom or Thrice but I'm still disappointed there are so few.
You basically listed all the problems we've realized since Harmonix created Rock Band. No longer will there be as many guitar focused songs, since this is meant to provide a well-balanced experience. Besides, other bands like Iron Maiden, Wolfmother, and Darkest Hour are slated to be on the game... you can't take the 24 songs and use it to judge the whole game.

Metallica on GH5 would be a stupid idea, since they just released a whole game of Metallica songs.

Whurz mah Eye Of The Tiger, and Don't Stop Believin'????
Eye of the Tiger was in RockBand 2, so it's possible they can't get the rights. Don't Stop Believing was DLC for Rockband, so possibly the same deal.

thank god someone else agrees, way to drop the ball activision, but i guess when there 900 million music games out now the rights for songs barrel has just about hit the bottom, i cant believe its taken this long to get song 2 on one of these things, and no offense to anyone but id rather hear the jimmy hendrix all along the watchtower
Most of us would, but you gotta take what you can get. I'd prefer Hendrix, but Dylan is more than good enough. Or he would be, if I were getting this game.

Dammit, Keane.
Don't feel so bad. I voted for Tom Endo on the tournament.

Anyway: what a disastrous setlist. I'm only looking forward to Santana and Bowie.

The other 60 songs had better kick ass, or I'm not getting this game.

I freely admit to be a Rock Band fan over Guitar Hero anyday. But even from an objective point of view, none of these songs do it for me. Idk, the series kind of died for me at 3. Not that World Tour isn't fun, but it's not something I would invest in.

God yes. They better chuck some better stuff in...
First time I've ever been completely meh about a GH game. I'm a fiend for these games, even bought GH:GH on release day, but this one...nothing gives me the horn. I think they need to start releasing these games by genre. Metal / Hard Rock, Blues / Rock, Indie.

I've only heard of 2 songs in that list. Why the hell is "in my place" there? that's a bad song for guitar hero, they could have put Life in technicolor or Viva la vida in there at least.

I'm really hoping for a bit more Linkin Park in this one.

For me it's gonna be Band Of Horses and Bob Dylan. Hell, the only reason I am thinking about buying the game is because I love Band Of Horses, and All Along The Watchtower thanks to Battlestar!
But it's the Dylan version of All Along the Watchtower, meaning that you are just going to be playing the same three chords for seven minutes. Don't get me wrong, I love the song, but the Hendrix version would be more fun to play on Guitar Hero.
See i have to agree with this (and I'm a huge Dylan fan and prefer his version) but hendrix's will be more fun. I'd rather of seen like a rolling stone.

And song two will just be epic, finally a song people will want to sing "Wahoooooooooooooooo!"

Dammit! They have Kings Of Leon, Wolfmother...I don't like Guitar Hero, but these are really good bands...

Congratulations to the fans of the game though.
