@canceric09: Woah, three pro-White Stripes comments before mine, I thought I was the only person in the internets who likes them

pikachumariachi

Aaww damn i freaking love Train kept rollin'...i must..resist

Mike918

6th yawn here. Good lord, I'm thankful that there is Rock Band to force these guys to innovate. Yes, people are going to just buy these games because it is Guitar Hero, but so long as we have another company putting out games, the other one will be forced to make their own product better to compete.
Guitar Hero: World Tour is trying to find new ways to innovate the genre. The result of this is that Rock Band 2 is going to have to innovate themselves in order to stay competitive.
So while they are slowly killing off the Guitar Music Gaming Genre, the Group Music Gaming Genre is going to push forward and hopefully bring us better (and cheaper) products.
To sum up...
Thank God we have Rock Band.

trogam

Aerosmith has so many good songs, the only ones in here are back in the saddle, and maybe train kept a rollin'. Not gonna buy it

pisseddog

You pretty much hit Asheboro Dead on the money.

gamedismantler

It's got the New York Dolls people....

THE NEW YORK DOLLS!!!!

Buster Poindexter in drag on the mic with Johnny "You people are all a bunch of sheep" Thunders on lead - what more do you people want?

willyt9

@MysteryMeat:
I don't really think "washed up metal band" when I listen to Run DMC.

But I agree with the rest.

StupidDufus

@Inhert: I bet like a gillion dollars to you that even with it's 85+ tracks from the get-go, Guitar Hero: World Tour won't even have one White Stripes song. Which is retarded considering that their songs would be absolutely perfect for the game.

pikachumariachi

She sells seashells by the seashore.

Yuki

I can't wait to play Pink.

Jim Reilly

wait wait wait... no white stripes?? wasnt it confirmed like a dozen times that they would be in this installment? there was no way i was gonna buy this game even with them, but still....

canceric09

weaksauce!

dj_fantastica

I will say, as a fan of the series, I too think this could have just been DLC!

We'll see how it turns out

DonFubar

oh god, owen, you nailed it with the playlist origins.

rock 92.3 to the 'T'; brings back memories of riding in my redneck neighbor's mom's Grand Am to the grocery store for more cigarettes.

maybe i'll rent this because i miss that darker, slightly-depressing side of winston-salem, NC.

and i'll admit i like 'Kings and Queens'.

jgross

No White Stripes means a two-day play and then a toss into the nearest rubbish bin.

KampfVerein

I know two of these songs on this songlist, though I'll still pick it up. I tend to enjoy most of the songs on Guitar hero games irregardless of my lack of knowlege on music.

PAULINK

ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. glad im done with guitar hero. tho many were since 3......

MushroomBoy1022

Dream on, OK. Walk this way, alright. STP, sweet. Otherwise booed off the stage...... Hopefully GH: World Tour doesn't jump the shark too, rumored to have Jimmy Hendrix and the Doors...

Level9Unicorn

What happened to White Stripes? Oh well, I'm glad they're not on their 'cause I don't want to have to buy another music game yet.

Inhert

@Furiursa:

*triple yawn*

bakalhau

So I'm expected to pay full price for this?

Len Bias Cocaine Surplus

Booooooooooooooooring!!

Umenokouji Aoi

@MysteryMeat:

Wanna-be metal?

Washed up I can see you thinking. But wanna be metal? Comeon. You can troll better than that.

Stratovarius

The number of cover tracks is pretty unacceptable at this stage of the game (no pun intended). I'll probably rent it from Blockbuster, but I'll be passing on the purchase.

Gileadxv

@MysteryMeat: don't think aerosmith have ever wanted to be metal...

xbulletholes

So...much...Aerosmith. Ugh. Can't even fathom touching that game. Unfortunately, I live in Boston, which means the game's going to sell like crack around here.

Archaotic

@the_answer:

Then jump on stage with Britney Spears in the Super Bowl, and now this ...

They shouldn't have spent all their money on drugs and other addictions ... seems like the past 10 years they have been reaching.

Sad, because I enjoyed them from the 70's to mid 80's ... cant say that anymore now.

EnigmaNemesis

I'll rent it, that's about it

FlashIV

Wow, I want only one song on there, and it's stone temple pilots, and I can get it in rockband.

Save my money for On Tour and Rockband 2 I guess...

ItsSuperEffective

awww no 'dude looks like a lady' ? that sucks :(

xzero

Blah. All these music games are so boring. Far too many on the market and most bands/songs chosen are pretty crappy. While they are far from a "washed up wanna be metal band" as MysteryMeat suggests, there ARE however many better bands they could focus on than Aerosmith.

RockerX

Damn. #5 lol.

mva5580

i know this aerosmith, not becuase of their musical genius, but because of the alicia silverstone videos back in the dayz.. down with glam rockerz. Jimi Hendrix is the real guitar hero

the_answer

Should have been a 29.99 DLC release.

Count me as Yawn #4

mva5580

@Furiursa: yawn as well

smuckersisgood

Wow..Set list sucks.

kcgig101

Double Yawn

Facelift

Damn. So much for those rumored tracks.
Nope, probably not getting this now.

Erwin

oh yeah...washed up wanna be metal bands...my weekend has really hit rock bottom when they count this as game news.

MysteryMeat

I saw the note chart for "Train kept rollin'" and it looks tough I wanna try it out.

nypad5

@Furiursa:

/secon'ed

EnigmaNemesis

...*YAWN*

Furiursa

If you aren't an Aerosmith fan the game simply isn't for you, nothing shocking here at all.

Honestly, I hope it deters them from this crap in the future leaving it to DLC instead of full blown games.

SeedyROM

meh. Though I might get this on PS2... via torrents

darknessgp

@trogam: unless you got a Wii, like me, Rock Band sucks for Wii.

VakeroRokero

@TRT-X: Doing it the OLD way of innovating the genre would've been for Neversoft to figure out what the fans wanted and deliver before they asked for it. The NEW way to innovate the genre is for Neversoft to implement the incremental changes Rock Band fans have been clamoring for publicly and leave Harmonix to figure out what the fans want and deliver before they ask for it.

BOOM.

Activision aren't innovating the rhythym game genre-- they're innovating innovation.

wild homes and gardens

Yawn.

WEGGLES90

@zakky venom: They are one of the best bands in the world, but they became famous for the power ballads, so they aren't really a rock band in the eyes of the people.

VakeroRokero

@Redface:

well thats what DLC is for :P

personally im pretty hyped about this one ... its all good familiar songs that i have grown to love over time ... cant wait :D

not the biggest of aerosmith fans ... but deffinately a fan nevertheless :P

EMPEROR_COW

There aren't 41 tracks there are 40, since "Walk This Way" is in the game twice, one is the DMC version and the other is the Aerosmith version. However the guitar parts are exactly the same, so it's really the same song.

Guitarista87

Supposedly "One Armed Scissor" was supposed to be in this, guess not. Maybe it really is in GH IV or WOrld Tour, whaever you wanna call it. I was gonna rent it just to play that, but now, no way. And I agree that this definately should have been DLC or 25-30 bucks, not full price.

jello44

What??? no Crazy? Eat The Rich? Cryin'??? Who the fuck left these song and felt Pink was better?? I guess they are doing the same old Aerosmith "way of trade", give them the pieces of shit first and release a special edition next year with better songs and a live show. Except there won't be another Guitar Hero: Aerosmith... I hope... I just can't wait what kind of songs they will include in the Metallica thing. I bet the whole LOAD and RELOAD shits....

VakeroRokero

@trogam: "Guitar Hero: World Tour is trying to find new ways to innovate the genre."

How? GH:WT basically sounds like Activision took Rock Band and a laundry list of features people were asking for over the RB forums.

TRT-X

Ah, the good old days of velcro shoes. How I miss them. June 13, 2008 really was the best of times for me.

wild homes and gardens

lame... what happened to the White Stripes?? ... sigh. Maybe the next round of games will feature them. I wanna play Icky Thump.

KingDavid73

I see only one battle, and am encouraged.

From what I've seen of the battle vids, the mechanics have been tweaked a bit...looks a lot easier. (I don't think the Boss Character gets items anymore)

TRT-X

@zakky venom: yeah, that's how kids are these days. they show no respect for older bands and are just a bunch of little Dicks. they don't like Classic Rock but if you give them MCR or Fallout Boy *ugh*, they'll eat it up.

Grimmjow Jeagerjaques

Did anyone else notice

"31. "Guitar Battle vs Joe Perry" by Joe Perry"

Guitar Battles? After the shit they pulled in GH3? How about no? And no Dude Looks Like a Lady? No White Stripes?

Glad at least they give me the option of which "Walk This Way" to play, but two pretty similar tracks (in terms of the guitar) on the same game just seems odd.

JC1986

@xzero: I was really looking forward to that song. and the original "Dream On".

Grimmjow Jeagerjaques

No Jaded? Pass.

Redface

there are like 5 songs in that entire thing that are worth of being in a gh game.

VixDiesel

Wait.. Dream On is in the 5th tier? I hope it's not the same version that was downloadable for GHIII because if so that song is WAAAYYY to easy for the fifth tier.

Guitarista87

Sex Type Thing in the last tier? Great song, but I don't think it's THAT hard.

Bargin-bin purchase for me, I don't much care for the Guitar Hero mechanics anymore after Rock Band.

adamonfire

I feel sorry for The Clash, being stuck in a game like this.

Cyanotic

Only one song I really want to play, and I can already play it on Rock Band.

akumadiavolo

Ugh....while some of the tier 6 stuff is decent (Momma Kin, Toys and Cat Scratch Fever) its not a thrilling installment. Aerosmith hasnt been good since they quit drugs...which you can say for a lot of bands.

Rental, and thats about all

Mal-Content

She Sells Sanctuary and a lot of snoozes.

Count me in as yawning.

Combichristoffersen

This is absolutely horrible. I mean, Aerosmith is cool and all, but man, boring to the max!

Guitar Hero World Tour better make up for this. Don't even get me started on Guitar Hero for the DS. I played a demo at my local Gamestop (I'm friends with the manager) and from the time I spent with it, its pretty bad. The song list is horrible. Guess I'll be happy with Rock band and Rock Band 2 whenever that comes out.

nukednova

Wonder what that Dream On rerecording sounds like.

Anyways, this is garbage. World Tour is either going to be really good (explaining the crappy work put into GH3 and Aerosmith) or really bad (because they just suck).

Mit

sooo....

I supose rock band's guitar doesn't work with this title eh?

QC8472

why does everyone hate aerosmith so much? are you seriously so jaded that you cant enjoy some damn fine rock n roll?

zakky venom

No Dude Looks Like A Lady?

Instant download, no purchase, thank you.

Dave Silva

I wonder why I don't want to miss a thing is not on this list. Aerosmith played that at the Superbowl. So I would have thought that game would be on this list too.

BlackIceJoe

White Stripes rulz kthxbi.

Anyways - "yawn" to the setlist. They could have done something so much better...

Alaron

What, no Big 10 inch Record? ^_^

relic1980

@Furiursa:
Amen brother.

Night guitar hero, and where are Rock Band announcements?

HotFootMcCook

I'm pissed that Dude Looks Like a Lady and Eat the Rich are out, but the Run-DMC and Cheap Trick inclusion excite me a lot. I might not buy it, but it's definitely a Gamefly for me.

BananaKid

Needs a little more Aerosmith.

juliopalio

4 of my 5 favorite Aerosmith songs are missing, so it's a no-go for me.

Makoto

"Guitar Battle vs Joe Perry" cemented non purchase.

dowingba

Cat Scratch Fever is the only song on this list I wish was also on Rock Band.

gamedismantler

I've been a big fan of Aerosmith all 28 years of my life, but I'm not sure about this one.

Both versions of "Walk This Way" but no "Dude (Looks Like A Lady)", "Angel", "Eat The Rich" or "Just Push Play"? That is either short-sighted madness or marketing genius. I smell DLC.

I think I'll stick to playing them on the real guitar.

Dajmin

I have the game here, those songs are not in the right order.
I believe all the songs are in their right tiers, but they are not alphabatized.
Each tier starts with 2 other bands, then an encore by Aerosmith, then another Aerosmith song, and then ends with another encore with Aerosmith.
I forget where the Joe Perry battle is in there, but it is not the last song in the game. Train Kept A Rollin' is. And when you beat the battle you can add it to your "Vault" so you can play the whole song by yourself.

My favorite songs to play are definatly The Cults one and the Run DMC version of Walk This Way. Also Toys in the Attic is wicked

HopOnRocks

Maybe if it didn't have Aerosmith I would maybe get it.

I think I'm already hopping on the Rock Band train though.

Darth_X

@Nickatiah:

I don't think many people are saying that it isn't going to sell. It WILL sell, simply because it is Guitar Hero branded.

jello44

@SeedyROM: Yeah, I agree wholeheartedly that this should have been DLC. This'll be a fun game, but only Gamefly rental fun. NOT $60.00 fun, lol.

arazzor

I guess I am on of the few Gamers that is really interested in this game. No matter what you folks say it will sell like hell.

Nickatiah

Wow I was bored reading the set list and reading Furiursa's comment made me laugh, but then I actually did yawn.

@xzero: That was probably the only song I was looking forward to.

DarkFestim

Set list doesn't look that bad, imo. Some songs I don't know, but most on there seem like they'll be fun to play. Definitely excited to see Cat Scratch Fever on there, and the master track, no less! :D

@zakky venom: I agree with you there. I personally can't stand music where the singer either has a whiny voice or they're screaming so loud I can't understand a damn word they're saying. I think it's more of a generational thing though.

arazzor

@MysteryMeat:
Sorry, none of that is, was, or ever will be metal. It's all classic rock and it does nothing to garner my interest.

ChemicalWedding

Wooow, so much hate going on. Its simple, if you dont want it, dont get it. Dont need to trash the shit out of it. I for one am excited for it.

Skitzoap

@Handbanana37: EPIC Fail. This is strike 2 (strike 1 was a lack of kick ass DLC). If World Tour sucks, that's strike 3.

Scrum

the reincarnation of Guitar Hero: Rocks the 80's...aka pure fail

Jnkzm4

FAIL for lack of Come Together...

Handbanana37

i wouldn't mind giving some of the tracks a go, but not enough to warrant a purchase of the entire game.

Desfunk

Booo! The one song I wanted, Dream On, is "re-recorded." If that means it's a recent recording, it probably sounds like trash.

No thanks!

GiantEnemyCrab

playlist isnt that good i mean where are songs like amazing , crying, duces are wild,what it takes even the everybodys well known idont wanna miss a thing i must add that i had the intention to buy this game but believe me now that ive seen this crappy list I WONT!!!

johnnystahl

Releasing a music game utilizing mainly only one artist has got to be the most stupidest idea ever. I don't get what Activision is trying to pull here.

DigiMish

No Crazy? No Dude Looks Like A Lady? No Full Circle?

What the hell is this? Sure it's got some Nuge and Joan Jett, but this is an Aerosmith game, ad they leave out some of the best songs.

(not that I'd have purchased this anyway, mind you.)

Mr.Waffleton

@VakeroRokero: Unless you got a Wii, like me, Rock Band sucks for Wii.

I don't know what the hell you meant that comment to say, but it wins just how it is.

wild homes and gardens

There's a lor of good Aerosmith tracks in there. I'm a huge fan of the band and I may actually get this one if it's priced 39$ or 49$ at a stretch.

I've come to the realization that games based on bands like this one need a solid infusion of new tracks alongside the old stuff to work properly. It should almost be part of the promo for a new album if anything.

Rask

I can't wait for GH: Aerosmith

Amazon_Chris

@DigiMish: I agree. People who don't like a specific band on the other games playlist might still buy the game, based on the rest of the list. But this seems to be targeting too small of an audience to be really successful. Gamers and rock music fans and Aerosmith fans.

PollockRoc

Oh, and one other thing. I'd like to smack the person who thinks that Guitar Battles are, or ever were, a good idea. Seriously, they suck. Dumb Mario Kart power-ups have no place in a rhythm game. Especially since they were completely broken in Guitar Hero 3 (i.e. harder on Hard than on Expert).

Kyouryuu

Some strange omissions for an Aerosmith game, though I'm thankful they left out songs like "Angel" and "I Don't Wanna Miss a Thing."

But any real fan of rhythm games would have to admit that it's less about the setlist than what they do with it. Everyone whined about the songs in Elite Beat Agents, but most would say it was a very entertaining game. There are many songs I've never listen to in real life that are perfectly fun to play in rhythm games.

It is very strange to hear "King of Rock" in Guitar Hero, though. It's like some strange Amplitude-Guitar Hero line you're not supposed to break.

Kyouryuu

meh. renting for some achievements. also I noticed they decided to randomly throw in one guitar battle. the hell?

digipen89

i agree this setlist is balls - missing to many songs, that being said GH has been ass since RB came out anyway

babash

@Scrum:
EPIC POAST GOOD SIR!!! I think it WINS sooooo hard....made of AIDS AND FAIL LONGCAT IS LOOOOOOONG LULZ!!!

ChemicalWedding

@BassForever:
I would argue that you are indeed correct: Rockband is not 'innovative' per se; however it DOES have a broader range of music, more fun to play with other people, and in general gives a better representation of that 'nebbish rock star fantasy' (thanks Yahtzee) than GH's 'sells out so fast you just see a whirlwind of dollar signs as they go by' attitude.

And RB has, by a WIDE margin, more DLC, a broader range of musical styles, and is more about having FUN rather than mastering button mashing (not to mention the DLC is cheaper than GH).

And Aerosmith hasn't been relevant since the mid-90s... I'm just sayin...

Furiursa

Ugh, looking at the set list, I actually wish they would do a Guitar Hero Run DMC instead.

fearing

Now that´s wise osuzoo couldnt agree more !

johnnystahl

Maybe worth a rental, partially because the best song in the whole thing is the first track. Damn I really wanted All the Young Dudes in Rock Band.

VTchina

Im going to have to pass unless I can find this used for like 25 bucks down the road this should have been dlc. Even my wife who is big aerosmith fan doesn't want this game anymore and thinks it should have been DLC. Because they said the DLC from GH3 would carry over to GHWT so why are we paying 60 bucks for it no thanks.

osuzoo2008

I think we need to call the WAAAHMbluance for most of the posters here, you've yet to even play the game and you already bash it. Rock Band really isn't as innovative as people want to think it is, I honestly find it highly boring, and 95% of the DLC is awful, the difference is instead of making me pay 1-2$ for every song, I just get a whole bunch for 50$ on GH.

I like this set list alot, it has alot of good stuff on it.

BassForever

So this list confirms what I already knew. If you love Aerosmith, it's worth at least a rental from Gamefly, and if you don't love Aerosmith, you'll play it for the achievements, or not play it at all.

ODLdragonjoe

why are so many of the non-aerosmith songs also rock band dlc?

foxhound417

Total fail

lucasreis

@Skitzoap: Damn straight. Although I am feeling the pain about the lack of some of Aerosmith's best tracks... no Dude Looks Like A Lady, no Cryin'? Shame.

I'm still going to get it... when it comes out in Oz in August. (sigh)

freakout

Omg why do you all of you people keep on hatin' GH3? I think it was decent (even though the setlist wasn't as good as all the others). The only reason I'm not buying this game is because I already have too many games to play and I'm gonna be buying 6 or 7 before the end of the year.

lenandude

Lame that the bonus songs are also mostly Aerosmith songs. I think this game just has way too much aerosmith for me to handle(I have a low tolerance to begin with).

Valiant Goat

@ Jnkzm4 - Exactly my thoughts.. though this would be perfect on AOTS' EPIC FAIL.

Apparently there's a high ranking person in Activision that wanted an Aerosmith game, and will probably be out of a job when the sales of this game flops. There are only enough decent tracks on this game that would have sold better than this whole game, just released as DLC for GH3. Myself, I'll be skipping this one.

chesterhybridz

joe perry solo album songs, avert your eyes children!

d-guy

yuck. Waste of money.

Ra is on That 70s Show

ouch....just 2 songs that I'd want to play off of here. Dream Police is the bomb...I can't imagine what the "break down" section plays like. I'm okay with Aerosmith, but I won't buy this just to have a shit ton of their songs.

valoisian

@Umenokouji Aoi: I personally am waiting for Guitar Hero: Abba :D

Furiursa

even GH: Whitney Houston would be better

Umenokouji Aoi

The only two songs I really like are Complete Control by the Clash and Personality Crisis by the New York Dolls.
Not only is that not nearly enough for me to care about this, but the former is already in Rock Band and the latter is a cover.

XbhaskarX

where the FUCK is Voodoo Medicine Man?

I wasn't going to buy the game already, now I'm going to fucking boycott it.

madhotch

@BassForever: I think we need to call the WAAAHMbluance for most of the posters here, you've yet to even play the game and you already bash it.

Yes, because obviously this quick-and-dirty, shove-it-out-the-door cash in release is going to reinvent the wheel with the Guitar Hero series, right? How gullible are you?

...although you think "95% of Rock Band's DLC is crap" while praising this game, so we know where your head is at to begin with.

KaneRobot

Don't get why Sex Type Thing is included...I'd be jealous but since I can play it with guitars/vocals/drums in Rock Band, I'm not.

KaneRobot

Looks amazing. Can't wait.

I wish people would stop bashing this.

Dalren

Yawn number... whatever.

You know, I'm still astounded that not a single person has mentioned that "Train Kept a Rollin" is a cover. It's a bluse/rock song from the early 50s from a guy named Tiny Bradshaw. And... It was covered and was a hit by The Yarbirds in the mid 60s first. Aerosmith didn't cover the song until the mid 70s. Not only that but about 10 big name bands have recorded this song over the past 50 years.

Hagame

Wait a minute....I was looking forward to this but it's missing my favorite Aerosmith songs WTF????

JayDiggler

I'm not a big Aerosmith fan, but i might buy this used later on simply for more tracks to play.

Crawl to China

@GiantEnemyCrab: @GiantEnemyCrab: If it's the same re-recording that was downloadable for GHIII, don't worry about it. It sounds great. The only real change is the guitar sounds more electric and less acoustic. It's totally the same song.

BananaKid

Owen, whereabouts in the Triad did you go to highschool (and when)? Southeast Guilford '89 here. =/

BigWeather

If it fails as bad as 80's....it'll still make a shit-ton of money. Why is it so hard to deal with the fact that they aren't marketing this game to Kotaku-ites? The people I have seen place pre-orders for this aren't reading video game blogs. To listen to them talk, I don't think many of them have or utilize online let alone pay for DLC.

You sound like a bunch of whiny babies. Get over yourselves.

willyt9

aw man, a rerecorded dream on?! that almost negates the addition of the king of rock.

thaKingRocka

Eh, not amazing but I'll probably get it. I'm hungry for more Guitar Hero, and it this one has The Clash. I can't resist The Clash. :<

Alazar

Where's Cryin Crazy Amazing?

Ecks

Not one sign of "Eat The Rich"??

Walk This Way helps, but it just won't be the same...

TheLastSouthernGentleman

I agree that this should've been a DLC release. Not sure this will do well with the younger generation of GH players.

GBsteve

*is an Aerosmith fan*
*is disappointed in the set list*
*doesn't want to pay for DLC later*

What happened here?

Shinryoma

@Mike918: It's in Rock Band.

IGoogledMurder

I can't think of any music I'd want to play less...

Goodthymes

@Guitarista87: Was just thinking same thing, you can 100% Dream On on expert pretty easy!!

@Scrum: I wouldn't call them strikes as such... lack of awesome DLC is a shame but not a strike (and some of it was awesome, they're just keeping some of the big stuff so that World Tour is amazing). And Aerosmith? Yeah could have been done by DLC, and it is overpriced, but hell i'll be getting it anyway, as a self-confessed GH addict :(

And for those wanting some big Guitar Hero news well here you go:

BON JOVI WILL BE IN WORLD TOUR (finally). AS WILL MORE CHILLI PEPPERS.

That's all the exclusive stuff I know for now :)
And no I can't tell you how I know!

Y2Jason

You forgot one release date. July 19 in the internets.

4Degrees

Okay...I wasn't sure I wanted to buy it...but man what is with the hate-wave? Aerosmith ain't THAT bad.

Now a Guitar Hero: Danzig...?

That would be awesome.

red_queen

i will only rent this...for achievements only

mrtoofresh

This is just a bad idea, and I'll be surprised if it meets sales expectations.

Fryfat

Wow. No Deuces Are Wild, nor any Dude Looks Like A Lady.

You screwed us, Red Octane.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna play me some Rock Band with GOOD SONGS on it.

FoxyGaz

no "one way street"?

whatta jip...

@Handbanana37: Come Together was a cover of (a much better IMO) Beatles song, hence they prolly couldn't get the rights to it.

Saklas

Man, this is a horrible setlist. I'm not exactly a big Aerosmith fan, but I like a number of their songs, and a lot of them are not on there. 40 tracks for $60 is a pretty big rip-off, too. And I wish Train Kept A Rollin' wasn't on there. Having it on Rock Band is more than enough, especially when we could've had Dude Looks Like a Lady or many other good songs.

At least my worst fears weren't met. If Jaded or Don't Want To Miss A Thing were on here, I'd have to riot.

darthonyx

It's too bad everyone is CRRRRYYYINNN', over this playlist.

Sorry, I had to.

@EnigmaNemesis: second your secondment!!

shaunomacx

@wild homes and gardens:

Awesome comment.

XbhaskarX

I wanted Big 10 inch...

LuppyLuptonium

I'm not buying that for one great song - "She Sells Sanctuary" by The Cult and a load of MEH!

madgerald

@Alazar:

Why would you buy an Aerosmith game for one Clash song?
By the way, Rock Band has four Clash songs, including this one.

XbhaskarX

Wow. That is somehow actually worse than I thought it would be. Yay! I have less than zero reason to buy this game now! :)

Fatmumuhomer

"Pink" is in there, but "Dude Looks Like A Lady" isn't? Who the hell put this thing together? Wow, this is a horrible, horrible set list. I cannot wait not to play this game.

AngryEddy

I have to admit that with the advent of DLC I wonder why a pack that basically functions as an expansion of Guitar Hero 3 is needed to be put into a separate disc. It just seems while Rock Band's primary focus is DLC and while yes all the music may not hit everyone's tastes, I would say there is music in the game or as DLC that will hit someones taste. Guitar Hero on the other hand seems stuck in this idea of little DLC and coming out with a whole new expansion disc instead. It just doesn't quite add up to me.

Dullshimmer

17, that's all. 17 songs on this list that I would like to play - and that's being generous. No effin' way I'm paying $60.00 for that. If they made it available as DLC where I could pick and choose I'd pay $1.50 to $2.00 each. This 'game' should have been $40.00 max since it's simply an expansion pack.

This may garner a rental by me if I can locate it before I lose interest in music games and go back to GTA4 I guess...

Why would we need to play it? It's the exact same game as GH:III. Just they switched the setlist for a psuedo-Aerosmith discography.

And since the gameplay is nothing new from the previous installment, the only thing that would set this game apart and make it a go/no-go is the setlist.

I don't like this idea for the same reason I don't buy full albums for RB. I don't want the game to become an Aerosmith or The Police or The Who sim. I want to play a variety of songs.

I like SOME of Aerosmith's stuff, but not enough to warrant a full-priced version of GH.

Where the hell are the White Stripes :(

The order is a bit off (not that it changes the overall quality or lack there of) You battle Joe at number 30 and then do an encore of Train kept a rolling as a sort of finale. (if you do not count playing Kings and Queens though the credits ala Dragonforce......but actually playable for mortals)

One word describs this game... FAIL.

on the bright side: it only has 1 guitar battle! w00t!

on the negative side: it has a frackin' guitar battle! FAIL!

I LIKE the setlist - it encompasses a lot of early material, which is the better aerosmith stuff anyway. The reason for the dream on re-recording probably has something to do with the master tapes as ALL of the songs included from the first albums are marked as a re-recorded track.

love aerosmith...shit at GH,but i have fun with it..so i am still gonna buy this

i agree that there does seem to be some better songs missing...is this where we get fleeced for DLC?

janie's got a gun,hearts done time,crazy,cryin',eat the rich,full circle ..suprised 'dont wanna miss a thing' isn't in there(although i would prolly skip that one)..as thats their biggest hit here in the UK..i would of loved to have their Beatle covers in there as well(come together and helter skelter)...guess i can't argue that much,still a pretty decent line up,at least sweet emotion is in there

Kudo's for 'She Sells Sanctuary' by The Cult
thats a damn fine song

roll on this friday!!

@FoxyGaz: You screwed us, Red Octane.

While I agree there's a lot of my favorite Aerosmith songs missing from the track list, I don't think Red Octane is to blame. They can only add the tracks Aerosmith allows them to. Since the game is supposed to let you experience the career of Aerosmith, and with the limited number of songs per venue, they must've felt these songs we're the best representation of said experience.

Either that or they're saving their best songs for a later game, expansion pack, or DLC w/ GH:WT. I'm hoping these songs won't reappear as GH:WT DLC, since I'll have them on disk already.

So, yeah, I've had it on preorder for a while and will be picking it up at midnight on Saturday. And, no, I'm not paying full price.

Agreed with all... YAWN...

One Word....

TOOL????? Where is it???

iambeaker

41 tracks? if this one will cost 40 you got a deal with me, otherwise, forget it...

They would be better off making Revolution X 2.

I'll bid 20 dollars on this one. I'm sure I'll like a couple of songs that I don't know by name. It's probably an easy pile of achievement points for me. But for 50 or 60 dollars I think I could get more out of Rock Band or even GH3 DLC.

Can we get Guitar Hero: Megadeth Edition already?!?

Rock Band full album download of Rust in Peace?!?

Why on Earth do these things not happen? :(

@LuppyLuptonium: I'll give you my "Big 10 Inch," if I can find it in my nightstand that is.

Aerosmith's "Get A Grip" was the first CD I owned, and I've been a big fan of theirs ever since... enough that I think the special faceplate for my plastic guitar would be almost worth dropping $100 bucks for.

This could be fun to play with a buddy who is also into their music, but I can really see this as a bargain-bin special I pick up later down the road.

I can understand the tendency to shit on this game from rabid gamers eager to bash its inferiority to RB and the upcoming GH4, but to the casual crowd, the Guitar Hero franchise is still a winner. This game will sell, particularly on the Wii. It won't be a break-away hit, but with GH4 well on its way, was probably never intended to stand on its own as much as be a stopgap title between true sequels.

Rock Band is great, I own it and have invested heavily into DLC. However, that $150+ sticker price is a steep entry to many. Better perhaps to just keep the plastic instruments to a minimum of two guitars, and just jam out with a buddy to "Walk This Way" and "Sweet Emotion".

Looking forward to a review that discusses the note charts... GH3 was way too difficult for my tastes (I suck, I'll admit it) and I found the RB charts much more accessible.

Jonaconda

Well at least they kept those awesome, awesome guitar battles. Boooo!

perrinbar

Well, I'm not getting this I guess. I don't really even like Aerosmith.

SubKamran

for crying out loud, ive wanted the nuge on RB or GH forever and it's on this pile of crap? at least they have GH: MetallicA coming out...

waits for people to trash metallica, even though they all know they are going to buy that game no matter what because itll be rediculous

JYJ705

terrible. Just terrible.

@VakeroRokero: Probably... I was really shocked when I didn't see dude looks like a lady... take me to the other side would have been a damn good track to put on there too.. instead we get Pink and two versions of Walk This Way.. when one would have been enough. It's a damn shame. If Metallica is full of Load and Re-Load I'm gonna be super pissed.
