Just because they have the least bit of influence from Metallica doesn't mean that the influence is noteworthy. Listen to a few folk metal bands from Europe for example, particularly Falconer. I wouldn't be surprised if they had not even heard of Metallica.

jesus christ dude just live with the generalization that GH:M is going to have a ****load of metal in it goddamn stop being such a technical douche I doubt if anyone actually would care about Falconer being in any GH game for god's sake I'm sure Activision doesn't give a **** whether the influence is noteworthy they'll be happy to put any band in the game that could possibly get people to pick up the game

[EnR]

Either way im buying Metallica. Aerosmith and Gh4.

Metal from a limited source of musicians and songs, which is the point I'm trying to get across. What makes you think that people only want songs and artists that have been influenced by Metallica?

[GangstaPlaya_12321]

well people have picked up guitar hero rock the 80s which was horrid, but it sold out the first couple weeks, and now Aerosmith is selling out, people are going be lucky to get it on the first day, even if it was pre-ordered, there are so many metallica fans out there that if they find out it's on guitar hero than BAM you won't find that game for like a month

[TheRapingDragon]

Why are they still calling themselves GUITAR hero then?

I mean shouldn't it now be called BAND hero or something. They aren't exactly guitar exclusive. I would always get this (or rock band) if they went down in price.

Also:

yeah

I could find a lot of bands without even trying. Not everyone is influenced by a single band.

[SCWolf]

Drums look pretty sweet with the symbols, but they should change up how the guitars look. The only guitar they really made that was awesome was the flying V for the PS2. But thats just my opinion.

[MystictheHedgehog]

I'll probably get it...I wanna compare it to Rock Band, and just see which is better. But like TheRapingDragon said, it's not really GUITAR hero now is it? But changing the main name would be dumb...should be interesting though.

Well, there'd be less controversy over their name and accusations of lack of originality.

Never seen such great words! Add some In Flames of course. I also have only been able to play guitar hero once and it was through the fire and flames... I don't get why i missed so many even on medium...

[SethSquall]

To be honest I'd care more about in game footage.

Also, they should of just scraped GH: Aero****e and GH: Mettaligay and just released packs to download for GH4. Much better idea than releasing two games that will flop.

[ddr_f4n]

I wonder why they haven't released gameplay videos yet?

I also agree that they need to AT LEAST change their name to Band Hero. A lot less controversial. If you call it Guitar Hero, it's suppose to focus on the guitar.

Lol at copying Harmonix's idea with solo buttons on the guitar. Have they made ANYTHING original in this game besides the cymbals on the drum set?

One more thing. They need to add at least ONE more drum pad. It won't for songs such as Run to the Hills for obvious reasons. And if there will be metal songs in it, put an extra bass pedal. The drum charts in Rock Band looks bad on those double bass parts.

The same reason people want just songs influenced by Aerosmith. Dore is right here, by far.

And keeping the original name will keep publicity high, and the name with be in everyone's mouths already.

Forgive me, I meant songs in the genre of metal in general. By that I mean that I don't think that people just think of Metallica-esque bands when they want to hear the phrase "metal music."

Keeping publicity high shouldn't depend solely on the game's title. They can just as easily present the game as Activision Presents [Insert name here].

This.... Is the best thing I've read in this thread.

They could just do like Rock Band and sell intire Albums.

I wholeheartedly agree with both of y'all, but Activision, even if they realized that they could sell them as packages, probably want to sell them as separate games to get more money out of them.

The guitar's second set of frets are not solo buttons. They're just touchpads. They're for the custom-music maker.

What else is original? The bass guitar now has six notes. The drums have six notes. The songs are all Master tracks for the first time in guitar rhythm game history and they have the most tracks of any other guitar rhythm game. They're letting your write your own songs within the game and send them to other people.

What more do you need?

what makes you think activision/neversoft is going to give you such a game that would be so unpopular

I realize you're just explaining ideas you would like to see be carried out, but you're nitpicking dore's comments on what you can realistically expect to happen

So you honestly think that Activision is going to cover the ENTIRE METAL GENRE with just a handful of artists? I seriously doubt that Neversoft developers are going to just think of Metallica and its similar artists when they hears the words "metal music," whether they make a Guitar Hero: Metal or not.
