This is how you do it.

It's been a long time coming, but finally we have it. The confirmation of Guitar Hero: Van Halen was finally made by Activision. See, it wasn't that hard, right? After months of speculations and inside source tips, we now have the real deal.

Talking to Joystiq, the publisher confirmed that the Van Halen installment of the franchise is currently under development and will see a rockin' good time later this year. While they did not reveal any particular songs yet, they did say that the rocker's "Greatest Hits" will be included.

It's bound to be an all-star cast too as it is also revealed that there will be guest acts from the likes of Queen (all hail Freddie Mercury!), Weezer, Blink 182, The Offspring, Queens of the Stone Age and more.

Expect more details to roll out at E3.

Noooo. They still got so many bands left! You mean you don't want to try a new variation of pushing 4 colored buttons?! Man if I was into this game I'd be broke before the year ends. Not knocking anybody for enjoying them though.

I don't care, I have my instruments for the PS2...and I just ILLEGALLY DOWNLOAD the games when they come out.

They should hand out merit badges for pirating cash cow franchises like this! So there is a good use for pirating after all. *sniff* This comment made me proud.
