Oh, cool! A hidden Joystiq story, only available to us cool RSS kids.

An easter egg, if you will. Very meta.

Obligatory "perfect for Rock Band" comment.

But c'mon... "All the Young Dudes" on GUITAR HERO? I would freaking ROCK those vocals.

Oh, and yay hidden RSS story.

RSS feeds are yummy. But uhh yeah if this is like 20 bucks I may pick it up just to have more songs to play. The lady loves Aerosmith and The Kinks so she'd be excited.

I really hope this game flop... this could be the beggining of a trend...

I think is a better deal the full album download from Rock Band.

Because "All the Young Dudes" was in Juno. Just another thing Michael Cera has given you without asking anything in return.

I was gonna mention the Juno reference too.

The Kinks are also on that soundtrack, though the song, A Well Respected Man, would have been out of place in GH I think....

Considering songs are the most important part of Guitar Hero, I don't see how one can have awesome songs and still be a shitty game.

I hear you, Roto. I mean in a sense, all the game really is is the combination of the songs you could get/chose to get and compiled.

But its true, almost no matter what songs they are, when you play them, you just can't help thinking about how much better the entire experience would be in Rock Band instead.

Did they know that Aerosmith is a horrible, incredibly crappy and lousy band? I mean, did they? My god, I feel like vomiting in my drawer at my desk this idea appalls me so much.

Horrible, stupid, & lame. I'll grant that this concept is good, but AEROSMITH?! Oh god, I wish Steven Tyler would crawl into the dumpster and never leave and do the world a favor. Well, I guess I still wouldn't be able to avoid the crap music. Ohh gad, just awful.

How is this a hidden RSS story when it's on the main page?

Geeze, I think even if this game were for a band I were really into for years and years, like Pearl Jam or something, that I still don't this would be a good idea. Plus then tons other people who feel about PJ the way I do about Aerosmith would be all surly.

Agreed. Neat concept, okay band/not-a-band-I-prefer. But I will say, at least they're using the concept with Aerosmith and not some shitty post-2000s band like Fall Out Boy, The Used, or some other terrible Emo turd.

It reeks of "some Activision suit is a big Aerosmith fan" to me. That's the only explanation I can think of. I highly doubt market research would have shown that all the kids are clamoring to rock out to some Aerosmith.

Guitar Hero: Pearl Jam would be epic, although I gotta fall back on the "it would be cooler in Rock Band" argument there, too.

Funny, I recall a certain Joystiq podcast (http://simulations.joystiq.com/2007/09/07/joystiq-podcast-016-super-sweet-16-edition/) where one Justin McElroy was railing on how retarded an Aerosmith Guitar Hero game would be. Well, I guess your violent opinions tend to change in 7 months.

I wonder when you will begin to embrace that game in which a bird is in a backpack in which a bear is carrying. Im guessing you will name it game of the year in about 7 months.

Nope, Aerosmith (especially the Aerosmith of today) still really, really sucks. I just like the idea for the game and I really like Mott the Hoople.

Thank you Justin of seven months ago! Thank you for setting me straight!

No, guitar hero 3 was the death of the franchise. This game and the even less guitar-y versions that will follow are simply shovels of dirt on the coffin in which it is buried.

I don't lament it, I celebrate it!

The fake plastic guitar has been retired by me forever since the fake plastic drums came out.

I have no interest in Guitar Hero anymore.

P.S. Early Aerosmith > Boston any day of the week.

Whats the chances of having most of the Aerosmith songs on this crap game being from the 70's and not the late 80's to today?

I 2nd on the game flopping. Everybody knows any of this would be better on Rock Band.

Nuff Said.

SAT Question time:

A game about Aerosmith which also happens to feature the Kinks & Cheap Trick is like:
A. A movie starring Lindsay Lohan which happens to also have Robert DeNiro and Marlon Brando in it.
B. A book written by Danielle Steele which also happens to feature segments written by Shakespeare and Flaubert.
C. A country lead by George Bush but was founded by the likes Thomas Jefferson and Ben Franklin
D. A pile of crap next to some ruby encrusted-diamonds and a beautiful Italian palace.

It's a trick question.

A. Marlon Brando is an asshole.
B. Shakespeare's works were more than likely not actually written by Shakespeare.
C. Ben Franklin was a drunken adulterer who, similar to Shakespeare, stole most of "his" ideas and bullied other ideas into submission.
D. The diamonds are more than likely conflict, and you're better off spending your money to support different things. That, and some people like crap.

And it would be quite interesting if HMX begins to cock block Activision on all these songs.

They might have Aerosmith exclusive, but I highly doubt any of the other bands featured in this game. And HMX has over 200 songs 'in the pipeline'.

So who knows before the release of this abomination, HMX does some 'special' DLC to piss off Activision. That would be sweet.
