Rock Band 2 rehashes much?Wednesday, August 05, 2009 @ 05:47 PM
I want it all from Queen, only non VH track I likeWednesday, August 05, 2009 @ 05:47 PM
Not really sure about this - seeing as I only know 'Jump' by Van Halen, but some of the other tracks are quite promising, with Queen, QOTS, The Clash and Deep Purple. Will probably pick it up once it's been out a while and come down in price.Wednesday, August 05, 2009 @ 05:48 PM
niceWednesday, August 05, 2009 @ 05:49 PM
Will only rent until it drops in priceWednesday, August 05, 2009 @ 05:49 PM
Not keen on Van Halen (never really listened to them) but this game has become at least a rental due to the great songs from the other bands in the game. Very good list.Wednesday, August 05, 2009 @ 05:51 PM
@4 Whenever someone thinks they're first, they're not. On topic, the Van Halen tracks are nice and what I expected. But why the hell is Blink 182, Jimmy Eat World, and Third Eye Blind in this??Wednesday, August 05, 2009 @ 05:53 PM
nice setlist. Activision ceases to amaze wonder. wonder if it'll have expert +.Wednesday, August 05, 2009 @ 05:54 PM
nomore quitar hero games its all the same except gutair hero 5...your avatars play on stageWednesday, August 05, 2009 @ 05:57 PM
That's probably the best GH track listing to date LOL.Wednesday, August 05, 2009 @ 05:58 PM
wow terrible its the worst track ever wowWednesday, August 05, 2009 @ 05:58 PM
yeah jimmy eat world is on there. might pick it up.Wednesday, August 05, 2009 @ 05:59 PM
killswitch!!!!! Why couldn't it have been on 5! Oh well.Wednesday, August 05, 2009 @ 06:00 PM
I'll rent it for the other artist tracks not a fan of Van Halen.Wednesday, August 05, 2009 @ 06:02 PM
Only getting GH5 out of all their releases since world tourWednesday, August 05, 2009 @ 06:03 PM
It has eruption might be worth picking up :)Wednesday, August 05, 2009 @ 06:07 PM
I love VH but I am super disappointed there is no Sammy Hagar songs when he was leading the band.Wednesday, August 05, 2009 @ 06:07 PM
Master Exploder? Nice :DWednesday, August 05, 2009 @ 06:09 PM
Master Exploder! Want!Wednesday, August 05, 2009 @ 06:09 PM
not a VH fan but love third eye blind, weezer, jimmy eat world etc, still its not gonna tempt me in2 buying it just 4 those tracks esp since Rock band will prob get them eventually. Semi charmed life and 5 other songs from 3eb are coming soon anyway 2 rock bandWednesday, August 05, 2009 @ 06:16 PM
Aw I dont listen to Van Halen at all but those are some great songs they have from other bands!!Wednesday, August 05, 2009 @ 06:17 PM
What's so great about Painkiller that it's now in both series?Wednesday, August 05, 2009 @ 06:18 PM
wow guitar hero has to out almost every song rockband has to make it "more fun"Wednesday, August 05, 2009 @ 06:28 PM
Wasn't white wedding already in GH?Wednesday, August 05, 2009 @ 06:38 PM
Can they just stop with the stupid GH and RB games THEY SUCK! These games are an insult to the real rockers whether they see it or not.Im now inspired to go buy a kid's toy guitar from wal-mart or somewhere cause that's all the game is.I will stick to my real electric guitar.Wednesday, August 05, 2009 @ 06:38 PM
OMFG! I am the biggest van halen nut on this planet. BEST TRACK LIST EVER! I just jizzed myself for the first time! WOO HOOO!!!! UNCHAINED! ANd ya hit the ground runnin! Unchained yeah e yeah!Wednesday, August 05, 2009 @ 06:39 PM
Stacey's Mom! LOL!Wednesday, August 05, 2009 @ 06:39 PM
Let's milk the gamers some more with these games which are all the same,how pathetic.Wednesday, August 05, 2009 @ 06:50 PM
Ugh! It could be better if they had Van Hagar eraWednesday, August 05, 2009 @ 06:53 PM
.....STACY'S MOM....?!!?Wednesday, August 05, 2009 @ 06:58 PM
Why are people complaining about GH & RB milking people of money, come on, if you could make mass amounts of money by releasing the same thing continuously with only one changed variable, you would right?Wednesday, August 05, 2009 @ 07:00 PM
stacy's mum = epic win. but yea that list is terrible, all trakcs will be overchartedWednesday, August 05, 2009 @ 07:05 PM
I am liking the extra songs, although they shouldn't have picked so many songs that were in RB2... they already did it, and better then guitar hero will do it. oh and 28 & 31... game companies do this all the time when series get popular. Are you saying that you won't buy a game from any franchise if they come out with more than one in a year? Granted Guitar hero is taking it a little to far, but still, music games are fun as hell, so if they keep making them, I'll keep playing them. You don't see me trolling your call of duty or halo or whatever the hell you play...Wednesday, August 05, 2009 @ 07:08 PM
queen + foo fighters + QOTSA + Offspring = WIN Not a giant van halen fan, but it should have entertaining and fun to play songs.Wednesday, August 05, 2009 @ 07:09 PM
Huge fan of Van Halen, so this is a definite buy for me. I like a majority of the guest acts (QUEEN!!), but I honestly don't understand why they'd choose to do so many songs that have already been on RB... Though, I can see Painkiller being a ton of fun with Expert+!Wednesday, August 05, 2009 @ 07:09 PM
im pumped for this gameWednesday, August 05, 2009 @ 07:16 PM
I am getting really sick of these guys recycling their songsWednesday, August 05, 2009 @ 07:28 PM
HEEEE ISSS TTHHEE PPAAAIINNKKIIILLEEERRRWednesday, August 05, 2009 @ 07:28 PM
Tenacious D - “Master Exploder” & Fountains of Wayne - “Stacy's Mom” would be great but im still not getting this!Wednesday, August 05, 2009 @ 07:33 PM
The setlist is great but yeah RB2 rehashes much seriously. Double Vision kicks ass though and they had all the Halen songs I love like Feel You Love Tonight, Hot For Teacher, You Really Got Me, etc... Looks okayWednesday, August 05, 2009 @ 07:54 PM
Not only is this the 7261st Guitar Hero to be release, but is it just me who thinks the list of songs is getting smaller? I'm almost positive that there were more songs in GH3 and WT. Maybe its just my mind playing tricks makin me think its even worse. I dont know. All I know is I wont buy this either, its deffinately not worth the 80+ AUS Dollars they try to charge for the game on its own.Wednesday, August 05, 2009 @ 07:56 PM
koolz hope cheevs arent too hard =PWednesday, August 05, 2009 @ 08:00 PM
Why not do songs that don't already exist in a rhythm game? People don't want to pay for crap they already have.Wednesday, August 05, 2009 @ 08:04 PM
painkiller from judas priest is so horrible!Wednesday, August 05, 2009 @ 08:05 PM
Is it really that hard for Neversoft to get songs from bands that aren't already in RB2 as DLC? Why have songs like Space Truckin when Deep Purple have so many better songs? Makes no sense at all. Oh and #45, the achievements look near impossible for this game,look them up.Wednesday, August 05, 2009 @ 08:07 PM
I'm assuming the reason alot of songs get rehashed through both series is when the record label that owns the rights to all their bands songs releases the masters out, they might only release certain songs and not others. That, or when they do release the masters and the other game buys them, maybe they get them at a lower price. Reguardless, any song on Rock Band 2 is going to play 100x better on Guitar Hero, it just plays way smoother and better on Guitar Hero format, and the mixes are way better too.Wednesday, August 05, 2009 @ 08:15 PM
lol there's far too many rhythm games nowWednesday, August 05, 2009 @ 08:45 PM
wow, can't wait for this one. Romeo Delight, man gonna have to dig Women & Children First out, been a while since I heard it.Wednesday, August 05, 2009 @ 08:55 PM
fountains of wayne, yellowcard?.. wow. I was clicking this to say that i want guitar hero to go screw themselves with 4 games coming out in a matter of months, but that kind of makes me happy. i honestly hope that rockband picks up some of those i like though, cause i'm liking rockband more with every passing minute.Wednesday, August 05, 2009 @ 08:56 PM
OK, what's with them not including Foo Fighters in GH5, but putting them on bot GH: Metallica and Van Halen? Ugh. I don't want to buy this game to play this song. Then again, this actually looks like a decent spin-off track list.Wednesday, August 05, 2009 @ 09:00 PM
I hate to be another generic complainer about a GH game. But dear god this game is just sad. First GH I'm not buying. If your gonna do a band game how bout you actually make the band songs double than the various artists? Do you just not fucking care Activision? Hell sometimes I like to think they probably put more time into the achievement pictures than the actual gameplay, lol. Look at Harmonix with The Beatles: Rock Band, that's how you respect the band and make an actual band game. Don't get me wrong, I listen to Van Halen. But I'm just tired of Activision pulling this bullshit every 6 months.Wednesday, August 05, 2009 @ 09:08 PM
The non-band tracks are just plain retarded. If Van Halen took inspiration or formed any sort of connection with some of these names when they brought out most of these songs, they must have kept the secret of time travel hidden to themselves for all these years.Wednesday, August 05, 2009 @ 09:21 PM
I'll say what I always say; Getting it! I'm not pathetic like most people, sitting with Rock Band's penis stuffed firmly down my throat, and with every choke and gasp for air I take, I curse Guitar Hero, or vice versa. Instead, I'm being double penetrated by both games, and I love them both!Wednesday, August 05, 2009 @ 09:24 PM
Van Halen is great alone, but with these other songs and artists, I'm excited. Stop bitching people I like Rock Band too but you don't have to have it's balls tickling your chin while it's down your throat.Wednesday, August 05, 2009 @ 09:31 PM
I want dope nose and best of you. I'd rather buy these tracks on RB2 than have to sit through 963 cruddy van halen songs and 2 good ones.Wednesday, August 05, 2009 @ 09:42 PM
Not bad not bad. The Van Halen stuff is great but i'm on the fence about everything else. Way to many songs from RB (both on disk AND download)Wednesday, August 05, 2009 @ 10:03 PM
Thanks Activision. This just further proves why I enjoy Rock Band more then Guitar Hero. RB releases track packs for people without Xbox Live. Guitar Hero releases a whole new game with a crappy song set. Hooray!Wednesday, August 05, 2009 @ 10:15 PM
Fuck yea. Yellowcards the shit!!!Wednesday, August 05, 2009 @ 10:20 PM
STACY'S MOM! I hope they bring that to Rock Band... AND STOP MAKING GUITAR HERO GAMES! SERIOUSLY!Wednesday, August 05, 2009 @ 10:21 PM
OH MY GOD. Will they ever stop?Wednesday, August 05, 2009 @ 10:25 PM
Nothing for me but The End of Heartache, just saw Killswitch live yesterday.Wednesday, August 05, 2009 @ 10:30 PM
Ha Ha Ha ! #59 made me laugh. too many songs ?! never heard of such a thing. apparently this douche would rather pay for a disc with 50-60 songs he/she may or may not have heard of than rather dl the ones u like. weird.Wednesday, August 05, 2009 @ 10:34 PM
Woot Alter Bridge!Wednesday, August 05, 2009 @ 10:45 PM
F*#king really, Van Halen gets to have Killswitch Engage on the game. It better get put as DLC for Rock Band. I hate GHWednesday, August 05, 2009 @ 11:00 PM
Metallica I could understand but Halen? Can't even pretend to thrash to such weak material. Pass.Wednesday, August 05, 2009 @ 11:03 PM
That's the strangest "similar" track listing I've ever seen to Van Halen.Wednesday, August 05, 2009 @ 11:15 PM
Why don't they cancel every GH hero spin-off they're making and add it onto 5? Maybe they'd make MORE money, maybe they wouldn't be bashed so much.Wednesday, August 05, 2009 @ 11:41 PM
great van halen songs! ...shitty "similar" tracks. Why the hell is killswitch engage in the game? Screamo-fag metal doesn't belong in a game with a title of a great american rock band such as Van Halen. Diamond Dave!Wednesday, August 05, 2009 @ 11:45 PM
Out of the way children, this list far exceeds my expectations for a VH set list for this game, all DLR 1984 and before. Mean Street and Romeo Delight, I will put those riffs up against any metal released today and they will stand up and bitch slap some nu metal bands. The rest is a decent collection of filler.Wednesday, August 05, 2009 @ 11:46 PM
I'm not impressed with the non-VH selection. I'm excited about more Queen, but that's about it.Thursday, August 06, 2009 @ 12:02 AM
LMAO @ Callum x360a. You're fucking nuts man.Thursday, August 06, 2009 @ 12:21 AM
@19 I agree with you! I'm a Van Halen fan but I skipped all the tracks to see if Eruption is on this. I'm going to have to play this on easy just to pass that friggin song LoL.Thursday, August 06, 2009 @ 12:38 AM
lol wow, some of you still bitch about there being too many GH games, yet theres a new sport title like Madden every year with very minor changes...nobody is making you buy these games and many people, including me, enjoy more songs.Thursday, August 06, 2009 @ 01:01 AM
Do. Not. Want.Thursday, August 06, 2009 @ 01:09 AM
Painkiller is awesome!!!!Thursday, August 06, 2009 @ 01:15 AM
great songs thank god this site exists http://greatprize.tk/ or http://www.prizerebel.com/index.php?r=1055727 you can get free xbox live points, gold cards, games and even new x360 i aldready got 13 month gold and cant wait to get 1600 points and play all fronts for free for us proxy visit www.ultrareach.comThursday, August 06, 2009 @ 01:25 AM
More excited about the other songs rather then Van Halen because, lets face it, the band sucks and only Eddie is awesome.Thursday, August 06, 2009 @ 01:40 AM
wow, #56....sigged!Thursday, August 06, 2009 @ 02:22 AM
Wow. Hopefully Rock Band can get "Jump" and "Panama" in a Van Halen DLC, and bring Killswitch Engage, maybe Blink182. Not too interested in the others there.Thursday, August 06, 2009 @ 03:18 AM
I'm sorry but why don't they just take their time to make a game? Most people won't even have finished Metallica and Smash Hits and now they're throwing Band Hero, Van Halen, DJ Hero and Guitar Hero 5 in our faces. Okay...maybe people do like the games. But you would like them a whoooole lot better if they actually had a new feature in them. YOUR AVATAR ON STAGE! I'LL PAY 50 QUID FOR THAT! Guitar Hero is waaaay past it and Rock Band eclipses it by miiiles. And no...I'm not a Rock Band fanboy. It's called seeing sense.Thursday, August 06, 2009 @ 03:25 AM
The Similar Tracks Also In The Game look better than the GH5 set listThursday, August 06, 2009 @ 03:42 AM
FUCK GUITAR HEROThursday, August 06, 2009 @ 04:11 AM
Damn, I might HAVE to get this game purely for Alter Bridge's debut into the music genre of gaming!Thursday, August 06, 2009 @ 04:18 AM
Interesting.Thursday, August 06, 2009 @ 04:25 AM
Master Exploder! Im not a van halen fan, butthe guest songs are amazing e.g i want it all! i want it now!Thursday, August 06, 2009 @ 05:11 AM
Why recycle Hot For Teacher when it's already in GHWT? It's going to be the exact same unless it has Expert+ on drums. They could have just stuck another Van Halen song in.Thursday, August 06, 2009 @ 06:05 AM
YawnThursday, August 06, 2009 @ 07:09 AM
@1 yup, exactly what i thought where's guitar hero slipknot?!Thursday, August 06, 2009 @ 07:12 AM
sorry for double post butttt.... painkiller by judas priest? a man shouldn't be able to emit a noise of that frequencyThursday, August 06, 2009 @ 08:07 AM
I was gonna buy GH: Metallica and Smash Hits, but now since GH is just putting out like 4 games a year, no more. Only gonna buy the main series of games now. Fuck expansions!Thursday, August 06, 2009 @ 08:09 AM
What!? No, California girls? :D Kinda suprised 'right now' isnt on there. no love for sammyThursday, August 06, 2009 @ 08:21 AM
all i would want from van halen is aint talkin bout love. but the other songs are amazing. blink182, yellowcard, alter bridge, foo fighters, the offspring, third eye blind. i want those but not van halenThursday, August 06, 2009 @ 08:23 AM
they dont have Dreams by Van Halen? HOW?!?!? They have first date by blink-182 and a few other songs id LOVE to play but chances are i will never buy this becauses im not a huge VH fanThursday, August 06, 2009 @ 08:48 AM
Damn it, why can't Alterbridge be on 5 or on Rock Band 2? I have been waiting for something by them since I first bought it. @76-Are you kidding me? Have you compared Madden 08 and 09 (hell even 10 look improved) EA is starting to get it that they need to start improving it. As for Guitar Hero, looks only slightly better each time, but yet they still want you to pay full retail price for each one of their games and then maybe release maybe two or three good DLC packs and then the rest are from a bunch of bands that only a few people know. And then a new game every three months that could of easily been released as DLC.Thursday, August 06, 2009 @ 10:33 AM
I love Alter Bridge so couldn't really be disapointed by any song but I'd much rather have had Ties that bind, Blackbird or Metalingus. What I'd really love is for Rock Band to do an Alter Bridge track pack then I wouldn't need to buy this game for the other whole 2 tracks I likeFriday, August 07, 2009 @ 01:06 PM
Man I was just not gonna buy this...but End Of Heartache = EPIC win.Friday, August 07, 2009 @ 09:32 PM
Aw, c'mon. Yellowcard? They have great music and the drums would be amazing. Why, just, why, does that have to be the only song I like on this setlist?Saturday, August 08, 2009 @ 01:00 PM
honestly? Stacy's Mom? that just blew it for me. sorry guitar hero, not buying.Thursday, August 13, 2009 @ 12:34 PM
Aw why couldn't they have had Killswitch Engage in GH5 :(Thursday, August 13, 2009 @ 04:08 PM
It Comes Free With GH5 If u buy in september and use the free post card with the gameSaturday, August 15, 2009 @ 03:08 AM
Yeah, if you have any interest in this game, just buy GH5 so you get this free.Wednesday, September 09, 2009 @ 09:38 AM
This game is just terrible.. honestly i must be one of the biggest guitar hero fag of all time and this to me is their worst set list. staceys mum and pretty fly for a white guy (i actually like the offspring) has just ruined this game n its a definate no no on buying. Dissapointing, hopefully guitar hero jimi hendrix will be good, psychadelic (or however you spell it) rock is the best of rock if anything. Most influential at that :D and there wont be any shit songs from like the 90s because to hendrix that would be disrespectful.
