It's also not going to cost $200+ for the whole setup.
RHCP and Maiden could have had much better songs - maybe Phantom of the Opera or Genghis Khan from Maiden? Oh well, I'll take them, they are both pretty great. And it's nice to see some original recordings now.

I say a prayer every night that Phantom of the Opera comes to rock band, that would probably be able to open portals to hell.

I wonder what kind of bullshit promises theyll make with this one? Probably more of the same, "Most downloadable content ever! Competitive pricing!"
Yeah, fool me once...
Hopefully Rock Band will turn this genre around.

I too was planning on skipping GHIII this time around and jumping on top of Rock Band. It's the drums, man! The drums!
However, the GHIII song list is getting to be pretty fuckin' epic. I may be forced to pick it up after all. Now that DragonForce is on there, the fate of my fingertips (hint: they have no future) has been sealed.

I'm getting this and RB for sure (since you can use the old guitar on both games), but so far the GH3 song list is just killing Rock Band. I need to see more songs from them before I think about buying drums and shit. What are they waiting for?

FINALLY a DragonForce song on Guitar Hero (without a mod)!!!!!
I wasn't going to buy GH3, but now I will, just for that song.

Uh oh. I hope these master tracks don't fade out at the end.

A) The lead singer of Dragon Force looks like Weird Al Yankovic.
B) Through the Fire and Flames better be a bonus track or no one's ever going to finish expert!

I wonder how well this will sell on the Wii?
I'm not sure if I'm gonna pick it up. But some of my friends are interested in it.
Do you have to be a fan of rock to like this game. Cuz to be honest I've never heard of most of these songs. Out of that list I've only heard of the Red Hot Chilli Peppers...

lol it'll most likely sell better on the wii then any of the other three current-gen consoles...I mean it probably will sell best on the Ps2 (considering the market base of the ps2), and the x360 will give it a run for its money but it will most likely sell best on the wii (rather then 360 or *snicker* Ps3) considering ITS market base

I like most music I hear. Though I often find myself tuning to Country or Pop classics on the radio. Heavy and Metal and rap in general no.

Yes!
This is the news I have been waiting to hear ever since the first tracks for the game started trickling out.
Through fire and flames is going to be the most epic GH song of all time. I cannot wait.

This is pretty cool news...but my question is, is anyone else as disappointed with that GHII '80s expansion as I am? I can't even imagine how irked I'd be if I'd have paid a full $50 for it.

I still dont see how GHII had an expansion called "80s edition." Seems to me like nearly every song on GHII WAS from the 80s.
Genre needs way less classic rock.

I think this song would be awesome for Rock Band too, just listen to the drums xD

I planned on getting both games before I even saw some of the song lists. More classic metal only increases my excitement.

Ahhh, DragonForce... those songs are going to be hella hard. Good thing this isn't on Rock Band though, cause their singing blows.

I do appreciate being able to understand them, I just hate the actual lyrics.
And yes, speed metal IS awesome, but Guitar Hero III is going to be hard as hell now...

Some of these announced bands such as Dragonforce, Priestess, Muse, and Tenacious D better not be in the main loop. The game is called 'Legends of Rock' and none of those bands qualify for the title. They better just be the bonus tracks.

Whu-whu-WHAT!?!? Tenacious D is so too a rock legend! Hell, they are the D! They ARE metal! We shall erect statues of Kage and Jables riding mighty steeds across the Devil's plain!

Well...I just got convinced to buy both GH3 and Rock Band. I mean...fucking DRAGONFORCE! That's gonna be amazing.

You can let Ludwig know that he can come play GH3 at my place anytime. Rock Band with just guitar is no longer GH3, not when you can pass that solo back and forth. It's almost like GH3 and RB are the new console wars. They fight for exclusive content to sell their hardware.

I'm getting both still. Looking forward to RB more but GH will help me wait for it. Plus, it's more songs. since when did anyone have a problem with more songs?
except 80s edition. fuck that.

Wow, that song and video suck. Fortunately, RHCP and ZZ Top will help me overlook this hair-flipping druid rock garbage on GH3.

I must admit a good deal of ignorance when it comes to various metal styles . Its a genre I haven't really appreciated before the GH series came out. That Dragonforce song is awesome, although I fear it will be 'Buckethead' level of difficulty, which is a song I'm nowhere close to being able to play. With practice, I can see myself 5-starring just about anything in GHII on expert, but that song is like another leap forward in difficulty.

I was already planning on getting this. But now it has Dragonforce, which makes it even better! Now if they could just get a Slipknot song...

I love guitar hero.
Everyone is so ready to jump onto Rock Band, but I don't even have a 360 or PS3 nor $200 for a video game. $200 is too much for a game. But I will admit Rock Band does look pretty slick, and if I ever get a 360 I'll buy it eventually.
For now I'll stick with my $50 GH3 on PS2 so there is no need for another guitar controller. Or maybe the Wii, I don't know.

regardless of whether or not you hate dragonforce, you pretty much HAVE to respect Herman Lee's guitar playing skill. I've been waiting since the first GH to get any dragonforce song on the list. I originally saw this band on comcast's onDemand service, my friend recommended I watch it. one thing lead to another and I found myself headbanging in the front row of their concert months later. (mind you I generally don't like metal, i listen to classic rock and rap nowadays)

I was going to say "Oh sure, GH3 gets Number of the Beast, but GH80s had to get by with the mediocre Wrathchild". But then I remembered that most of Iron Maiden's other songs are still better than Number of the Beast. It's not a bad song, but where's "The Trooper", "Run to the Hills", "22 Acacia Ave.", or just about anything off of "Powerslave", "Brave New World", or "Seventh Son of a Seventh Son"?
