Joystiq pushes play with Guitar Hero: Aerosmith

I wish they would just release the RunDMC tunes as DLC.

personally, i think this is pretty cool, based on the preliminary info. i like that the different levels have significance in aerosmith's past....nipmuc high school is where they played their first show (not far from where i grew up), max's kansas city was an old punk venue in NYC, and the orpheum is a big venue in boston.

looking at the aerosmith tracks....pretty awesome. i can't believe how many old school tracks are on there. "nobody's fault" was not a popular song by any means but is my favorite song by them. "make it" was one of the first songs steven tyler wrote. i'm really glad this game isn't going to be focused on the newer aerosmith songs that sorta stink, like "pink" and "falling in love is so hard on the knees" and junk like that.

additionally, the kinks? the cult? the clash? sign me up.

You know, every Aerosmith compilation project, "best-of" list, or what-have-you has failed to include one of my favorite songs by them: "Mama Kin"

I was really hoping to rock out to this one in this game... at least in the easy stages.

[Upon making sure I had the song name right, I found it's on a bunch of "Greatest Hits" albums I've just failed to come across.]

Also, I know its not a real heavy guitar song, but "Janie's Got a Gun" was the song I was introduced to Aerosmith by. It would have been nice to have that on the playlist as well.

However, as much as I may complain, I'm still going to rent this one to see how it is. Aerosmith is a good band, and it IS Guitar Hero. I just wish more of my favorites had been included.

It's worth at least a play-through though to rock out to the Run DMC version of "Walk This Way". One of the best rock/rap collaborations E-V-E-R.

Every single song from 'Rocks' should be on there.
"Sick as a Dog" anyone?

There's only 25 songs on here?

Where's Amazing? Crying? And/or Crazy? They could even use the same jewel pattern for each song!

So........ is this actually better than gh3??
