As much as I love Guitar Hero, the rumors that there will be three (you read it, three) more full Guitar Hero titles released in 2008 is a bit overwhelming.
12/03/2007 - Big Surprise: Guitar Hero 4 Confirmed - Joystiq.com
Excerpt:
Activision’s biggest pre-merger franchises are all (GASP!) getting sequel treatment. In a fact sheet concerning the Activision Blizzard deal (PDF file), the publisher lists Guitar Hero 4, Call of Duty 5, a new Tony Hawk title (which would be its 11th iteration), a James Bond game and a racing title with the recently-acquired Bizarre Creations, as well as licensed titles with Dreamworks and Marvel.

Excerpt:
Besides the album, Aerosmith is also working closely with the makers of “Guitar Hero IV,” which will be dedicated to the Boston group’s music. “I don’t know much about the technical part of it,” Perry says, “but artistically we’re working hand in hand.”
Please, if you have any sources from anywhere post them in a comment and I will list them here.

yea ya kno they should definetely put some black label society in these games for sure cuz zakk wylde is amazing :]
YES! how amazing would it be to have GUITAR HERO: METAL MASTERS to be the next game to come out?? With everything from Metallica, Slayer, Slipknot, Killswitch Engage, Cradle of Filth, Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, bit of BFMV, PANTERA, System of a Down… anyone care to extend the list?
And please let it be on PS2 cuz like you guys say, it’s a huge loss of profit if it’s not. Everyone’s got a PS2! =P I mean, I have a Wii, but I’d still rather play my GH3 on the PS2, cuz it’s just so much more convenient for me. Come on GH! Give us what we all want! =)
there should be more metal in the next guitar hero not lame songs and no rap metal or emo just otep better metallica songs like whereever i may roam or ride the lighning i want more slipknot like the song sic or three nil guitar hero 4 should be rated 18+ and should be for adults only kids with parental concent now we need more characters to choose from, marilyn manson and coal chmaber static x and as i said more SLIPKNOT AND SLAYER make the game longer put like 200 songs if you can oh and my friend claims that guitar hero is not that hard and he wants cradle of filth in it cause he wants the fast riffs plz do this and i garentee that millions of metal heads would buy it and be satisfied i hope you take my request plz be generous
There should be a METAL EDITION of Guitar Hero- period. Just blast us with everything from Black Sabbath to Slayer to Death to System of a Down. Give us our Metal!!! The masses have spoken!!
they should get some system of a down in there like GH3 they had AFI which kinda pissed me off when i found that there was no system of a down, GH4 should have BYOB, bcuz that would be an excellent song to play on any of the difficultys… hopefully some might put this into consideration
rock on
I heard that there will be NO version for the PS2
I heard the PS2 thing also. I mean i guess its technically an outdated system now with the next gen out, but its going to suck for us old PS2 owners. Would probably hurt their profits a little too.
No version for PS2 = Less profit. That’s a fact.
yes i in fact heard the same thing. and i agree with Zexy. PS2 owners should be able to get in on the action because frankly i dnt think we can afford any other system to be honest.
YA, NO PS2 MEANS LESS MONEY, EVERYONE HAS A PS2.
They should bring it out on ps2,, I have all the others and would be stupid for me to buy another system just for that game..
lol ps2 sucks though move on witht he times and pick up a 360 or a wii screw playstatiopn all together now that i think about it you guys owning a ps2 is like owning a windows 98 computer when theres vissta and crap out there and expect them to make the games good for the 98 i can see them not putting it out for ps2 for sure and profits guitar hero doesnt really need ps2 when they got some many 360 and wii users out there
why the hell would someone who owns a ps2 downgrade to the childrens Wii or the outpunked 360(frankly the x-box has great graphics but the controls just plain and simple SUCK!!!) And the ps2 is not really that slow (windows 98 give us all a break).
Unfortunatly GH 4 is coming out on the ps2 version (I believe a different company will be doing its own version on each system) however it is going to be all aerosmith, what a drag. I think they could have done a better all around band. but what-ever. Im sure I’ll be one of the idiots that actually buy it. But I didn’t but the 80’s one so I might just make a pass on this game
from-THE X-BOX HATER
You have to be kidding me. The PS2 just flat out sucks. The load times are enormous and the controls are far worse than the 360. You should just cough up the dough and catch up to society. The games may be more expensive but they are higher class. Just do your research and you will see the PS2 and the 360 are in 2 whole different leages. from -The Playstation Hater
More metal the game needs to get harder to keep it fun for the people who beat GH3 and the only way to do it is to put much more metal in it because lets face it metal songs have by far the most complex guitar riffs and solo’s in them so put some proper heavy death metal in it =) or if not why not realease a metal specific game like u did wen u realeased the 80’s rock version!
Amen! I’m all for other types of music, but you can’t go wrong with Metal. That would create probably the most challenging Guitar Hero yet, and there is such a massive catalog they could pick from!
PS2 Hater has a point; owning a Nintendo 360, Gamecube, PS2, or Xbox nowadays is like owning Windows 98 or 2000. I do use an Xbox 360, but I find that making fun of the other consoles is stupid and pointless since all have flaws.
As for Guitar Hero IV, Guitar Hero: Aerosmith better not actually be GHIV.
Naa Guitar Hero: Aerosmith will be like an expansion type thing like “Rock the 80’s” Im pretty sure there will be a regular GH4 Made this year as there are 3 new games slated for release this year.
I have to update this section, just havent had to time as of late.
Imo there should be some technical death metal bands and maybe some more power metal bands. seriously Morbid Angel’s Maze of Torment as a shitload of solos and Behold The Arctopus is insanly progressive and technical! Some Opeth or even Death would be freakin awesome and power metal like Children of Bodom, Stratovarious, Blind Guardian or WINTERSUN… seriously put more metal and no crap stuff like slipknot or hatebreed whos riffs are terribly easy to play on a real guitar… hail
PS: A metal specific game would be god damn terrificly gigely awsome.
NOOOOO!!! No metal i dont like it, it hurts my ears, and makes me want to go to church.
I think a custom version like there is on the pc, where you can add in your own songs
Xbox controlls suck? That’ll be why the 360 controller was voted best console control device then, the fact that the PS’s controller has not changed is testimony to SONY’s laziness and lean toward younger children because real MEN have trouble with that tiny unweighted jap device. I have PS3, 360 and PC and have been gaming for over 25 years. The 360’s controller is well laid out and weighted correctly the only thing the PS3’s controller is better at doing is holding its battery charge longer, the 360’s battery sucks.
Enough of the banter, what was I here for?
There really needs to be more older songs in the harder sets. One problem I had was that nearly all the songs in the last few sets were not old at all. The next installment needs to put some harder older songs. Also I think its an injustice to not have one Hendrix song in any of the games. Even though some criticize him for not playing fast any of his sings like Purple Haze, Manic Depressant, or even Foxy Lady would be good for one of the first few sets. One more thing. I will be so disappointed if they do not put Panama on this game. They need a better Van Halen song on the game than “You Really Got Me.”
screw it all.
i happen to own a wii too. its no childs console, get over yourself. 360s r cool dont get me wrong but they would lose product if they didnt make it for PS2. besides wasnt GH originally made for the PS2 anyway… hmm thnk about that. wii controls r alot better than xbox controls, they allow mobility not just sittin there mashin buttons. as for the title… GH: aerosmith… come on people make another guitar hero… w/ variety, whether it be metal and just all around hard rock.
later
Dude O’s Who Diss The Xbox 360 R Cooked… Its The Best Platform Out, The Remotes Are So0o0o0o0o0o0o0o Comftorable… It F***s Up The Ps3, Ps2, Everything!!!
This time they really must put Europes - The Final Countdown on the track listing as well as some Nightwish, Evanescence, Cradle of filth, Nickleback and more Dragonforce!!!!
360 kicks ass
360 is GAY, just like aerosmith. But any way this is for rumors so here’s one for ya….. Drums and microphone for the aerosmith game are being lined up, (bite off of Rock Band?) I don’t think so I played the game at wall mart or something and the controls suck as far as the timing, weird. And for all you x-box loving fruit cakes out there you can say whatever but we all know Bill Gates is just making more off you idiots than you can imagine!
oops. forgot……. the only thing that nintendo has that keeps it selling is Mario, Link and oh yeah kids!
and one more… he he he! The guy that’s been gaming for like 25 years and started off at an Atari like I did….. BEEN THERE DONE THAT……”The 360’s controller is well laid out and weighted correctly” yea I could just imagine why? GUYS HAVE NOTHING ELSE BETTER TO DO W/THEIR HAND? No, that can’t be right! Oh, but I just think that anything that is as sexist as this comment deserves a big fat **** YOU, I’ll out play you anyday, and with a REAL GUITAR PUNK!!
I’m not into Aerosmith much, therefore I wouldn’t even consider buying this version.
Machine Head - Halo
Hellyeah - You wouldnt know or Alcoholinass
Mudvayne - Dig or Happy?
Pantera - Cemetary Gates
A7X - Unholy Confessions
Alice In chains - Love Hate Love
Sevendust - Black
NonPoint - Explain Yourself
StoneSour - Cardiff
Deaftones - 7 Words
Tool - Make a whole game about how awesome Tool is or just use Anema
Im in the wrong line of work. Im going to work at Activision.
PLEAAASE! NO NICKELBACK!
no no no! this next one should have ALOT more acdc and metallica! and yes “ONE” is just way to long and boring.
watever screw every body
dude its guitar hero honestly
but still watever i dont thnk that it will just be aerosmith
whether it is or not just
every one get over themselves
im out
there needs to be some arctic monkets song seen as they are awsome. also some linkin park and osasis. i think along with some heavier songs like metallica the game would be truley awsome and i would definatley buy it.
I agree with what Metalhead and Johns says their should be more metal in the next guitar hero.
get some black metal or some death metal like more in flames or KATALKYSM because they have harder riffs
harder to beat the game
i beat every song on guitar heo 3 on expert even through the fire and the flames
its really no that had
if ur gonna do dragonforce put in likt
“storming the burning fields” or
“revolution deathsquad”
put some children of bodom in it
more ppl will buy it if it is harder
DO IT
ok here are my thoughts
stupify - disturbed
almost easy - avenged sevenfold
scream aim fire - bullet for my valentine(that would be soo friggin hard but it’s an awesome song)
and the last song would have to be are you dead yet? -children of bodom
anyone agree?!?!?!?!
THE NEXT GH SHOULD BE FILLED WITH CRAP LOADS OF DEATH METAL…THATS ONE THING GH LACKS IN, IS DEATH METAL. I WANNA PLAY SONGS BY CANNIBAL CORPSE, DYING FETUS, AND NECROPHAGIST. WHATS UP! LEAVE ALL THOSE WEAK ASS SONGS AND JUST FILL UP THE THE NEXT GH WITH ALL KINDS OF BAD ASS METAL AND SOME BAD ASS CLASSIC ROCK. SCREW ALL THE EMO AND BULL CRAP BANDS THAT DONT EVEN DESERVE TO BE ON GH. NOTE THE GAME IS CALLED GUITAR HERO NOT GUITAR WEAKO.
DEATH F*@KING METAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ALSO FOR THE XBOX LIVE, THERE NEEDS TO BE NEW DOWN LOADABLE SONGS EVERY WEEK LIKE ROCK BAND. I GET TIRED OF PLAYING THE SAME OLD SONGS OVER AND OVER….NEED SONGS BY CANNIBAL CORPSE…IT WILL MAKE THE GH FAN BASE GROOOOOWWWW. SO WHAT IF THERE SONGS ARE FULL OF GORE AND ISENT FOR LITTE KIDS EARS. JUST GO A HEAD AND MAKE IT 18+.
YALL CAN ALL WAYS MAKE A GH WITH BARNEY AND DISNEY SONGS FOR THA YOUNGINS…..
YALL CAN CLEARLY SEE METAL IS THE WAY TO GO. GO AHEAD AND FILLER UP WITH ABOUT 500 METAL SONGS.. GH MAKERS CAN PULL IT OFF….. RIGHT?
CANNIBAL CORPSE, IM TELLIN YA. GOTTA GET IT ON THERE.
PLEASE PUT ANYTHING FROM SEPULTURA!!!!!
I think they should have more black sabith, acdc, and bands like rooney *who sound a lot like kaiser chiefs* dude by areosmith, some foreigner and boston, elton john, rhcp, and just a bunch of older 80’s 70’s 90’s and 2000 one hit wonders not random songs by bands that nobody likes, and none of this new crappy singing kind of bands either
oh and ya put more songs on xbox live like rockband ROCK BAND SONGS ARE THE BEST but i prefer guitar hero cuz i dont have 200 bucks to spurge on their game, nor do i want to worry about drums achievements. just look at rock band they would have the best games for guitar hero
Okay, first off, all these song people are listing off are too original. We don’t need slipknot, we don’t need system of a down, although a cradle of filth song would be pretty okay, guitar hero is known for their different genres of music they’ve put on the game. I would personally like to hear a different killswitch engage song, possibly holy diver by them. Maybe some johnny cash. What guitar hero should do is pick 3-4 different genres and put about 20 or 30 songs in each of those categories. I doubt that this would be possible, but they should put a song creator on their. That’s basically all i have to say. Here are some songs i would like to see.
As Blood Runs Black-my fears have become phobias, brighter side of suffering, in dying days
Bleeding Through-Love lost in a hail of gunfire
Underoath-a boy brushed red living in black and white, impact of reason
The Devil Wears Prada- john what’s your name again?, HTML rulez d00d, reptar king of ozone
Killswitch Engage- holy diver, end of heartache, rose of sharyn
Avenged Sevenfold- a little piece of heaven
From Autumn To Ashes-every reason to, lilacs and lolita
Underminded- who needs a body bag
Jack Johnson- Taylor, Banana pancakes
Red hot chili peppers- snow, californication, Johnny Kick a hole in the sky, Hump De Bump
Drop Dead, Gorgeous-daniel where’s the boat?, dressed for friend requests, the show must go on
Johnny Cash- Ring of Fire, Folsom Prison Blues
job for a cowboy- entombment of a machine
ramones
lighthouse manifesto
the unseen
but this is just my opinion
i agree with colby
bullet for my valentine would be a nice add
Anybody heard if they are planning on releasing guitar hero 1, 2, and 80’s version on ps3???? really pissin me off i cant play those on my ps3.
i think guitar hero needs more punk like rise against-paper wings
I do agree that the songs need to get heavier.
Pat Benetar? The Killers? Modern day AFI? Gross.
But Death Metal would be taking it too far. Plus, most death metal sounds the same and is rediculously repetitive.
I would say that Slayer should be the farthest they go in terms of heavyness. They are afterall the creators of death metal.
And some modern metal, but only from good bands.
I’d like to see another Avenged Sevenfold song. Maybe Eternal Rest or something like that.
Bullet For My Valentine wouldn’t be bad either.
Maybe some more classic punk for the beginning songs.
Misfits, Black Flag anybody?
And there should be no emo whatsoever even allowed into these games.
The games called Guitar Hero, not Guitar Queero.
OK HERES THE DEAL GUITAR HERO CREW- it is proven that 49% of the video gamers society are playing it on a PS2 therefore by not releasing guitar hero 4 on PS2 you are decreasing your profits by almost 39%… Probably not a good idea why would you make us go and buy the wii or the little xbox 360, you wanna tell us that ps2 is an outdated system then we will have to use pandoras and stuff in order to transfer the xbox games to PS2, yes its possible please release it to PS2 and throw in some BYOB and some other heavy metal
System of a down
sugarcult
blink 182
the killers
AFI
bullet for my valentine
misfits
zakk wylde
other great metals maybe even some punk rock
more punkrock, alternative emo ; screamo. deffinatly bullet for my valentine : tears dont fall as a bonus song :]
ps2 is a old system but the makers would be losing alot of money because everyone has a bleepin’ ps2. but i don’t care because i have a ps3 aand it is bleepin’ fun
here are some songs that should go on guitar hero 4
money honey-state of shock
foxy lady-jimi hendrix
poison-alice cooper
because of you-nickelback
smells like teen spirit-nirvana
everybody’s got something to hide except me and my monkey-beatles
brown sugar-rolling stones
seven nation army-white stripes
turn me loose-loverboy
billy et your guns-bon jovi
fake it-seether
please put anything from RUSH OR THE WHITE STRIPES
The need The strokes, the hives, QOTSA, nirvana, nine inch nails andAC/DC oh yea and some zepplin f***
They should put in seasons in the abyss from slayer. That song is sick. Also I don’t know what their waiting for to put in sum Zepplin
ok look here’s an idea!!!!
why not put bands like
blink 182
panic at the disco
and modern rock like that
but ALSO put classic rock, hard rock, metal, and EVERY OTJER ROCK or whatever as long as its got som good guitar in it….
sound reasonable??
and dont go on bashing about “oh that band has no good crap in it”
the solution is simple. they can be the beginning songs.
To those of you arguing back and forth about who’s better AC/DC or Aerosmith, you obviously spend way too much time commenting or playing Guitar Hero. BTW, my 12 yr. old daughter could probably put you all out on the back porch.
THEY SHOULD DEFIANTLY MAKE IT FOR PS2 ! AND THEY SHOULD PUT SYSTEM OF A DOWN SONGS IN IT !!
GUITAR HERO 4 TO HIT STORES IN LATE FALL, FULL BAND CAPABILITY, DRUMS WITH 2 CYMBALS, GET GAME INFORMER TO READ UP ON IT. ALL INSTRUMENTS TO BE WIRELESS.
i agree totally with Rubenoso on that tool deal, Tool FTW, but yeah, a metal guiter hero would seriously kick ass, add in more SOAD, disturbed, cradle of filth, pantera, ozzy, sabbath, hell i wouldnt even mind some dethklok like from GH2, but yeah, get a tool song on there! there are at least SOME songs that are appropriate for a T game, get vicarious, appropriate and has ongoing guitar riffs unlike some tool songs >.<
also for ppl who want Zep songs, dont get ur hopes up high, theres no way theyd get it, it would be a pure miracle if they did, because only one product as of this day has been licensed to legally have a led song in it and that is the movie Almost Famous, and thats only because the creator was a friend of the band… but we can only hope
WTB 1 damn Green Day song! :’(
ok so basically gh4 is going 2 b awesome but i rly think they should make more a varity of songs me personally metal is best but if theres to much the emo song likin people will get mad so i think they should put more of a varity they should put great guitarist like jimi hendrix zack wylde n my favorite DIMEBAG DARRELL
GH4 Should Have Led Zeppelin songs on it or even better there should be a game dedicated to them. Frankly GH3 so called LEGENDS OF ROCK doesn’t have any legends in it ( Except for Slash obviously) Whatever happenned to the real legends like Jimmy Hendrex, Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton and they should also get rid of the stupid made up characters who gives a fuck about them. O and by the way can you tell me if there has ever been a Jimmy Hendrix Song in any of the guitar hero series ihave only played 2 and 3. I Love the idea of the games but after i finish each of the games i am always a little dissapointed. One last thing, every body or nearly every body seems to want Heavy metal songs or new songs e.g Arctic Monkeys and stuff like that on GH4 but to be honest i think that there always be something on every game that they make that will dissapoint everyone e.g my ideal guitar hero would be made up of Led Zeppelin MOSTLY a bit of Jimmy Hendrix a bit of eric Clapton some Guns and Roses and bands of that era ( also many more that i may have forgot about between the 70’s and late 80’s) but this might not be your perfect game and vice versa for you perfect game might not be mine. The point is they should either make a game for the most popular styles of rock e’g Hard Rock, Heavy Metal and

i personally think they should have a metal edition and a classic rock eddition so everyone is happy the metal edition could have some manson metallica slayer angelspit nightwish slipknot korn rammstein where clasic rock could have some hendrix and zepplain boston police journey forigner
joker and the thief by wolfmother
eruption by van halen
working man by rush
nottingham lace by buckethead
o baterista(all drums) by rush
This game sounds great!!! I’ve been a HUGE fan of all the other guitar hero games, but I’ve gotten bored since I’ve beaten every song on expert… I just need some new songs and I really want some more metal, hardcore rock songs. It needs some UNEARTH, BECOMING THE ARCHETYPE, and AVENGED SEVENFOLD. I’ve also heard that you will be able to make your own songs! Is this true? Email me please?
No to PS2 because of downloadable content. Period. It can’t be done on PS2. That is where Rockband is making a killing.
Billboard reports that Motley Crue’s latest single, released first as a downloadable Rock Band level, has so far sold more copies through MTV’s videogame than through iTunes.
The title track off the band’s upcoming album “Saints of Los Angeles” has reportedly sold over 47,000 copies at through just the Xbox 360 version of Rock Band, and around 10,000 copies through traditional music download services like iTunes and Amazon.
These guys need exodus. Their new album especially would be some great mid-set stuff, especially Children of a Worthless God. It’s long but the shredding in that song is unbelievable. Also MORE SLAYER! Angel of Death, Die by the Sword etc.
guitar hero wants to make their games well balanced so theres always gonna be popish songs or emo songs or whatever because different people have different taste…as for my wishlist…
RUSH- tom sawyer
THE WHO-who are you?
UNEARTH-giles
FALL OUT BOY-where is your boy?
METALLICA-where ever i may roam
GREEN DAY-basketcase
HENDRIX-purple haze, foxey lady, watchtower…
since i love all types of rock, im not gonna complain about the choices guitar hero does make but all i ask is that they dont cross over to any rap BS or anything like that cause that just kills the vibe of the game…
they should definately carry some jeff buckley, such as grace or mojo pin or vancouver. those songs are ridiculous. and i don’t even like metal, in fact i hate it, but guitar hero does need to carry it more instead of that emo crap they have on there now. some white stripes would be fantastic also
They better get some heavier pantera cowboys cmon man that was a lame choice do revolution or floods where the guitar work is crazy
They need more punk, if you ask me. There was, what, two punk songs on GH3? And they were the Sex Pistols’ Anarchy in the UK(Johnny’s voice sounds horrible now; even though they didn’t have the masters they should have used the ‘76 Anarchy) and the Dead Kennedys’ Holiday in Cambodia(the guy who sang sounded NOTHING like Jello Biafra). I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again–GH needs the Clash (which, thank God, they put on GHA), the Ramones (GH1 put I Wanna Be Sedated; they should take a look at Rock N’ Roll High School sometime), Patti Smith (anything off of Horses), and possibly even the Misfits (Die Die My Darling). I have a pretty strong feeling they’ll put a Rancid song on GH4 (Ruby Soho or Roots Radicals ar probably the two choices), but even then they’d need more punk. GET THAT EMO GARBAGE OFF THE
