Rumor: Def Leppard to pour some sugar on Guitar Hero IV
Not to take away from the status of British rockers The Answer, but we'd say the newest band to attach its name to Guitar Hero IV has just a tiny bit more street cred (we're talking, like, 5-6 inches more combined hair). While being interviewed on Rockline Radio, Def Leppard guitarist Phil Collen apparently confirmed that at least three of the band's top singles will be included in the next Guitar Hero installment not subtitled 'Aerosmith,' reports Guitar Hero News. Collen named:
- "Photograph"
- "Rock of Ages"
- "Animal"

Needs more Rock Band.

Here, here.

What is this Guitar Hero 3, 4, and Aerosmith? Is it like a dumbed down version of Rock Band?
Sora267 @ Mar 27th 2008 2:58PM
...Who the hell is Def Leppard?
Fernando Rocker @ Mar 27th 2008 3:12PM
And you are...?

WHO IS FERNANDO *gasp*
Sora267 @ Mar 27th 2008 4:01PM
Hey man, don't be hatin' because I don't listen to that specific genre of music or don't post here much (I pretty much read every day and post only when I feel like it, which isn't often.)
tmacairjordan87 @ Mar 27th 2008 5:10PM
def leppard is real rock kid, something your generation sadly will never experience.
Sora267 @ Mar 27th 2008 5:12PM
Yeah, we're too busy listening to Fall Out Boy and Three Days Grace.....
.....But I like Metallica and Nirvana =P
tmacairjordan87 @ Mar 27th 2008 5:14PM
oh if you like metallica then you're ok to me!
Crono (NDF - Knight of the Old School) @ Mar 27th 2008 5:14PM
Was that sarcastic? Because if it wasn't, then you just proved the man's point.

"def leppard is real rock kid, something your generation sadly will never experience."
No, I think you mean "something you generation will never experience, either".
Real rock would be Chuck Berry, Elvis Presley, Fats Domino, Bill Haley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins and even Screamin' Jay Hawkins.
Damn kids these days...
ComicShaman @ Mar 27th 2008 5:32PM
Naw, REAL rock is Mighty Thag the Mammoth-Slayer banging his head against a slab of granite, while Grug the Howler shrieked his lungs out. That scared away the saber-toothed tigers in my day, ya young whipper-snappers. There ain't been no REAL rock since the Paleolithic era. That's why they called it the Stone Age, by gum!
Kids today

"def leppard is real rock kid, something your generation sadly will never experience."
No... just... No.
Def Leppard is one of the worst bands to come out of the 80's.

Bill Clinton?

Most men?
Eric @ Mar 27th 2008 3:31PM
That 7 arms joke is awesome!
lvl99ultrathug @ Mar 27th 2008 9:46PM
@Huey
Fail. Def Leppard has 5 members.
Huey2k2 @ Mar 27th 2008 11:44PM
Fine, I shall change it then.
What has 9 arms and sucks?
Def Leppard!
They're a terrible band regardless of the number of arms they have.
dslsd64 @ Apr 3rd 2008 8:35PM
that comment by neebs just made my day.
Arttemis @ Mar 27th 2008 3:02PM
False title! There will be no sugar pouring according to the song list! /sadface
..unless there's moarrr Def Leppard!?

Pour Some Shook Up Ramen.

No one remembers this commercial?

Man, I wish Rockband would have taken this instead of Guitar Hero...
Crono (NDF - Knight of the Old School) @ Mar 27th 2008 3:36PM
Appearance on one platform does not exclude the possibility of an appearance on the other.
ComicShaman @ Mar 27th 2008 3:09PM
Maybe they should include that bizarre "ba-bwaamp-BWWAAAR" thing that was at the end of Pyromania. Not sure how many people listened to the whole album, but I remember that odd coda with a certain degree of fondness. I always wanted to call up and request it on radio stations.
Broven @ Mar 28th 2008 8:53AM
Yeah, I remember that. I always thought it was kinda cool. Not really sure why though, now that I think about it.
Shmil (Brawl Code 2621-2310-1994) @ Mar 27th 2008 3:10PM
should be in rock band instead
drums would be easier
samfish (Brawl: 2793 0291 2277) @ Mar 27th 2008 3:15PM
You know what? I don't care what anyone says, I like disco music.
And loathe Def Leppard.
Worst Review Ever @ Mar 27th 2008 3:17PM
Do you care what I say?
Huey2k2 @ Mar 27th 2008 3:17PM
I am a huge metal head, and hence hate everything Def Leppard stands for. There were some amazing bands to come out of the 80's, Def Leppard is not one of them.
samfish (Brawl: 2793 0291 2277) @ Mar 27th 2008 3:28PM
Only if you care about seeing me cry.
Shagittarius @ Mar 27th 2008 3:21PM
Still dead to me.
Banana Kid @ Mar 27th 2008 3:24PM
This is mostly awesome. I can't help but be disappointed that their "Animal" will be in it, though--that pretty much guarantees Pearl Jam's "Animal" is a no-go. I was really hoping for that.
Eric @ Mar 27th 2008 5:38PM
You "rock" no i mean it!
Kayel @ Mar 27th 2008 3:29PM
What a coincidence, I'm going to see Def Leppard tonight at the Greensboro Colliseum.
Eric @ Mar 27th 2008 3:33PM
Don't forget your mullet and acid wash jeans!
Eric @ Mar 27th 2008 3:35PM
oh and Camaro too!
ComicShaman @ Mar 27th 2008 3:43PM
But if it was a "Bitchin' Camaro," then he'd be going to see the Dead Milkmen. Which would probably be better, anyway.
Kayel @ Mar 27th 2008 3:46PM
Acid wash is all I wear and I've always got a mullet. I'll be doing 95 down the interstate in my camaro, drinking a case of beer, and rocking out to foreigner and styx to get myself fired up.
Chase @ Mar 27th 2008 3:36PM
Bah, I like Def Leppard. Bah humbug to you all.
*storms off*

Stephen Lang @ Mar 27th 2008 3:43PM
Will it come with a special add-on peripheral for the drums, so the actual Def Leppard drummer can play the game?
(sorry)
Nikonov @ Mar 27th 2008 4:25PM
Dear Activision,
Game over. It's done. Please stop.

Whew!
/wipes forehead
RB dodged that bullet. I thought that I was going to read about how Harmonix decided to stick crappy 80s hair-bands into a good game.
tmacairjordan87 @ Mar 27th 2008 5:13PM
they might as well there's already a lot of garbage for DLC.
