Guitar Hero 3 Announced

Holy sh*t. A game with Black Sunshine in it. I'm so happy.

I prefer this list to GH2 already.

How is Weezer part of the the British Invasion tier?

How cool is it that there will be some original songs in the list? I don't know who Lou is, but Tom Morello is really impressive. I was worried about this title with the announcement of Boss Battles and Battle mode, but it winds up being pretty fun in the demo. I'm psyched.

They're definitely inspired by that kind of music. Maybe they wanted a more contemporary song in the mix.

Or maybe the list is wrong.

Happy, happy, joy, joy!

Also, if you fast forward to the 3:20 mark of this clip, you'll see how insane the solo is.

Wow, that is awesome!
God, I wish I could play like that.

You just skimmed the entire thread. I'm pretty sure we've posted about the song at least 4 times already.

Souldaddy's link alone was quoted about ten times.

Still awesome.

Yes, but he did post the actual video, so we could see the solo.

I know that! I didn't just post without actually looking at the links to make sure they were different! Who would do that?

I wouldn't do that! Other people. Other people would do that!

*edit* do you ever wonder how some of these guys keep their hair away from the strings of their guitars?

Filthy skimmer.

edit: Re: hair in strings - Yeah, no doubt. I had a hard time keeping mine out of my mouth when I was thrashing to the good ol' metal of yore. (hint - do not chew gum while head banging. Also, always carry a comb.)

Nevermind,

Pearl Jam is in European Invasion.

So Seattle is in Europe now?

OK

Maybe because, you know, pearls are from the ocean, and then the jam. Jam, is kind of English. Together, it's like, um, and then, I got nothing.

Who can remember or has the time to browse 11 pages of postings? Or the behemoths that are the TF2 or Entertain Me Picture threads? I think once a thread reaches a certain point, accusations of Skimmer-ing aren't relevant anymore.

Anyways, it's DragonForce, and their awesomeness is worthy of skimmer-ing.

Is it their hair?

Dude! Did you guys know they're making a third Guitar Hero game?! Awesome!

Guitarhero.com has fully opened up now. Only 32 more hours until I start my groupie harem.

Do we have a Rockers with Jobs (or whatever) group up there yet?

Anyone get their hands on it yet?

I heard of some Sears breaking the street date, but no luck around my area.

My local Circuit City had it on the shelf yesterday. I didn't make a purchase though.

Trim the ends of the guitar strings if they hang past the ... the tuney-knobby-things on the thing on the end of the long part of the guitar.

Some of the songs were previously speculated, but now are confirmed.

Holy freaking irony, Batman.

I saw some videos of the last boss battle, really neversoft, why couldn't you just stay away from the boss battle sh*t and let us play the songs through.

Just read that the guitar doesn't take Microsoft's rechargeable battery packs. That kind of bites.

What does it take?

So for the final boss (Devil went down to Georgia) do you flip the controller under your chin and stomp your foot a lot? Weird that they picked a song with no real guitar in it....I'll still love the hell out of it, but its weird.

edit: nm just noticed its not Charlie Daniels...is there a sad rock emoticon?

Old fashion AA batteries.

Just played the demo today. I have to echo pretty much everything that Bill Harris said, but none of it makes it a no sale for me. If they released the songs for GH2, I'd be happier, but I'm perfectly happy to buy it as a game too. I hate the new graphics for pretty much everything but the actual notes themselves. I dislike the grungy real look thing, I cant even see the rock meter when I'm playing, etc. etc. The hard part (good hammer technique) has gotten to easy. The easy part (following a fast fret board) has gotten too hard.

But it's all about the rock. I'll be playin'

When you beat Slayer on Expert, I'll let you tell me the game is too easy Rabbit

I also think the boss battle songs are the best in the game (they're written and performed by Slash and Tom Morello themselves) and the actual boss battling can be very entertaining. The final battle is a real challenge.

I'm totally biased, but I've been playing for months, and I'm still going to be lining up Saturday night to buy a copy. (no free copy for a few weeks, )

Here's a pair of tips:
1. Stick around for the credits
2. Try "Impulse"
