Guitar Hero 5 - Image 1


After trickling the whole thing out piece by piece on different websites, Activision has finally put up a complete list of the bands whose songs will show up in Guitar Hero 5 (PS3, Xbox 360, Wii) on the game's official website.

The list contains a whopping 84 different bands (I thought it was supposed to be 85?), but it's not clear if all of them will be included on-disc when the game hits retail or if some will be held back as future DLC releases. Guitar Hero 5 is slated for a September 1, 2009, release.

quite a few good bands there :)

» Lame.

About 80-90% of all those bands already have songs on Rock Band or previous Guitar Hero editions. They seriously can't find any other musicians or underground/indie bands or anything? This is why I stopped playing GH after III. Too much failure on Activision's part.

» Need a sort of iTunes for DLC

Stop making games with 85 songs on them, and then only releasing 20 or so DLC songs.... They should have a massive set of music available, and then you could buy a game that includes a giftcard for YOU to pick the songs you want... then people wouldn't ***** about only 10% of the songs being good.

That's what i thought too, and then i saw arctic monkeys in the list, as long as the song fluorescent adolescent makes the cut, then it's an instant buy for me.

» hmmm

..no system of a down or three days grace...

just keep releasing your music as DLC and drag out the value of your games.

ppl are getting sick of seeing a new one each year

» already have it.

It's called the in-game Music Store, and it's onj both Rock band 1 and 2. Over 500+ songs available for download right now. Over 95% of them are master tracks.

» I enjoy having new ones.

I have a PS3 and a Wii with downloadable content availabilities, but since I still have my PS2 instruments I'm not even caring one ounce if they keep making new games instead of DLC. I just download the new one, put it on my PS2 harddrive and play it. It's easier that way.

Of course, not every one has the same setup I do. Now if we actually want to advance into the FUTURE, then yeah, we should probably start making new games.

» People asking for a DLC system

They do have one, and through it you buy songs from anywhere to 2 dollars to



By releasing them in a new game, you'll get new features, new venues and new music, all for about 1.4 dollars a song, if the game costs 60



You may not like all the songs, or like switching disks, but it does turn out to be a better value in the long one
