    Good track list. And finally, Activision wised up and got some freakin' Tom Petty. About damn time...

    Lol Fuel? No but really, not a bad list. I always find it weird that they have the Killers on a guitar game. I think of them more as synth players, and yeah I know they do play guitars, but they aren't a rock band at all. Duran Duran as well, that is just funny for a guitar game. Good group, but not a rock band. Seeing some Alice in Chains would be sweet, but I guess not on this game.

    This set list is terrible, besides a few artists! In my opinion they need to stop making big games, more DLC, and once a year band specific game. There is no more milk in the cow!!!

    Uk, looks like GH2 all over again.
    Here we go for some forgotten ones:
    Slayer
    Iron Maiden
    Ledd Zeppelin
    Jimi Hendrix
    Steve Vaughn
    Bo Diddley
    Eric Clapton
    Oh yeah, uh VAN HALEN.

    Yes they may have been in previous games.
    But no, they didn't use their entire song lists.
    Yes I'm putting Metal with Hair Metal with Bo Diddely. IDC.
    Yes Slayer could jack up an M rating all by itself.
    And Mister "do you feel like I do" Frampton is on there? And Bowie? Who cares about Bowie?
    What were his guitar songs? Little China Girl? T. Rex? Deep purple-Smoke on the water?! AGAIN?!

    ControllerKid

    And the Gorrillaz iz on theres? Come on. they're a fake animated Dance hip hopish new synth band fusion fronted from that guy form blur. that's not rock!

    ControllerKid

    missing led zep, eric c., vaughn, slayer, iron maiden, ozzy, van halen, Bo diddely.
    needed omissions: gorillaz (not rock), frampton (because he feels like I do), t rex, stevie wonder (not a guitar guy no matter what you say), bowie (b+queen+goodish. -queen= just plain weird.)
    Honorable mentions: Tom Morrello. For halo fans, Steve Vai.
    what a lot of gamers may want that'll make me scream no: Rick Astley.
    What some may want that i'd scrream no on: Lil wayne and Prom Queen.
    other stuff: more punk.
