Led Zeppelin! Heck, at this point, I would be happy with just one song!

PEARL JAM.

Bill and Sisyphus both have tremendous ideas, too.

AC/DC

Nintendo characters - I would love to see the various Nintendo cast in the GH series playing their respective themes. That would at least make some great DLC.

Van Halen
The Police
Less than Jake
The Mighty Mighty Bosstones

QUEEN AND THE BEATLES NUFF SAID

Iron Maiden, though you'd probably either have to take out Adrian's solos are only offer Easy and Medium difficulties!

I would like to see Rush, Nirvana, or Guns N' Roses. Who doesn't want to play Tom Sawyer??

Reply

Ah, good call, would probably be my choice also! Who wouldn't want to play one of Gilmour's noodling six-minute solos? XD

U2...U2 and U2!(Led Zeppelin would be great, but I can't see that happening for some reason...)

Accordion Hero: Weird Al

I don't like Guitar Hero, but if I had to pick, I'd go with The Beatles, just so I could have an easy, obvious Christmas or birthday present for my mom for once.

Foo Fighters!!!! or the Red Hot Chili Peppers

The Clash, Husker Du, Sex Pistols. I refuse to buy GH until I can get some decent punk music, and no Blink 182 does not count, though I will give you Green Day as passable.

Spinal Tap
They Might Be Giants
Devo

Guitar Hero: Jimmy Buffett!

I have yet to buy a Guitar Hero game, but Guitar Hero: Beatles would be a day one purchase for me.

Reply

The Who would be good, too.

i've thought long and hard about this one, because it seems that few bands could actually sustain a full setlist of their songs without it getting boring. plus, they'd have to be able to appeal to the entire guitar hero audience, not just core fans of the band.

using those conditions, i'd have to say:
van halen
led zeppelin
ac/dc
guns n' roses

i think, though, that one of the most fun guitar hero ideas would be one that has all one-hit wonders from the 1990s, mixed with some pearl jam, alice in chains, nirvana, and soundgarden tracks. they've done it for the 80s, why not the 90s?

Sabbath.

Now everyone else can go home.

Rolling stone's #1 Guitar performance of all time:

Chuck Berry

OK so I like the classics

I love to see 38 Special, and Boston Too.

Queen, the most rockingest band ever. Who wouldn't want to shred out [or on the wii-drum set, pound out] to "Fat Bottom Girls?" C'mon! Make Freddy Mercury proud!

Maybe even a special addition that includes sequined tights and fake mustaches?

the white stripes

...yes, i'm serious

Don't shoot me here...Franz Ferdinand.

Yes, there isn't enough material by them to build a game around, and yes, they're even less popular than Aerosmith, but the guitar riffs on most of their songs are incredibly catchy and sound like they would be incredibly fun to play. E.g.

Come on Home
The Dark of the Matinee
Take Me Out (but the actual version this time, not some rubbish cover)
The Fallen
What You Meant
Walk Away
Michael
You're the Reason I'm Leaving

I'd love to see a Franz Ferdinand-themed one, despite what people would think. Or, at the very least, a Franz Ferdinand track pack as DLC on the next game.

Definitely the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

There's a big difference between bands with good songs and bands that would be fun to play on Guitar Hero.

Led Zepp would be awesome although they tend to be overly protective of their rights.

Queens of the Stone Age is my pick, all of their songs have crazy solos and often have breakdowns, speedups, alternate choruses that change things up so you aren't strumming the same pattern over and over.

Mötley Crüe. I would buy it in a heartbeat.

Reply

i have yet to, and refuse to, buy a rock band or guitar hero until someone releases a duran duran version.

*straightens skinny tie*

The Pillows. A Pillows version would actually tear me up enough to buy GH. Nothing short of that, though.

Pearl Jam

Guitar Hero: Yardbirds

featuring all of their former guitarists: Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, & Jimmy Page

you then unlock bonus tracks by Jimmy Page's band "New Yardbirds"/Led Zeppelin

other tracks provided by other 60's bands at the time or dlc by The Who, Small Faces, MC5, The Animals, The Troggs, etc.

(i'm not really that old, just my love of the Beatles spilled over into the other British Invasion groups of the 60's)

I can't believe no one has said Tool!

Slayer, anyone?

...

KISS

They are absolutely perfect for a new Guitar Hero game. Different eras, different costumes, even different band members... could all be unlockable content.
