Oh damn I just got found out, how did you know I post on Kotaku to look cool to a bunch of people I wouldn't be able stand being around without breaking their balls and making fun of them in person?

Now if I could only figure out a wayy to achieve victory, you know what I'm sayin Jabbertrack!?, because that's my only goal in life. Winning bullshit ballbusters on a website chock full of nerds who expect people to praise the greatness of the updated Playskool fret board that they so joyfully suck on like Uncle Meat's infamous summer squash at the annual NAMBLA summer picnic.

Ever think that everyone else is enjoying your backlash just as much?

I mean you've gained no victory here on the web. At least none that thousands of people haven't gained before you in thousands of blog posts and Youtube videos about plastic guitars and video games. So now you're taking the... again... classic and cliche stance of "I JUST ENJOY PWNING PPL ON THE NET" when someone asks you to back up a pretty bold claim.

Make us eat our words friend interneter... then you will be cool. Right now you're just as much of a loser as anyone else.

@Nekoincardine: FREEBIRD! HAHAHAHAHA How about Tornado of Souls? or maybe Poison was the Cure?
Also if you expect me to play 3 tracks simultaneously you're a retard, unless I were to ADR it. Again though I've got better things to do than prove my ability to asshats whose feathers I enjoy rustling up on break. So go do yourself and me a favor; drop trou sit on your trombone mouthpiece first and blow the theme from Knight Rider out your ass.

@TRT-X: Because I know douchebags that can't resist getting upset are going to backlash. It's called exercising my rights.

Why is it that every time there's a GH article, somebody has to show up and say something stupid about how they lpay a real guitar?

What's that? Guitar Hero isn't a REAL guitar? You're KIDDING! I had no idea real guitars weren't played with five buttons and a flipper.

I've seen a clip of the Boss Battles, and let me warn you it doesn't appear to be as awesome as one might think.

The video I saw had the player against Slash, and those stupid battle items were in use. So you aren't actually in a guitar off, if you out play Slash, odds are it's because you caused his string to break during the big solo.

Yeah, that doesn't impress me.

@DomDeluigi: I repeat other's request; back your claim up that you can perform a guitar work on par with the upper-level songs in Guitar Hero 2. Something like performing the entire Freebird trio (yes, that's three guitars in the actual song), one take. Post the video on Youtube from an anonymous account, and link it.

If you are not willing to do so because you "don't need to prove yourself to pricks", then go back to whatever piece of crap bar or coffee club you play at and enjoy the adoration of that segment of society, please.

P.S. I am a college-level trombone player, so your shit about people like us "not knowing how to play the real thing" is crock. :)

I think you're missing the point here.

I can play guitar too (fairly well), but I still enjoy Guitar Hero - and I still can't beat it on Hard.

Playing guitar and playing a game are two entirely different things. Try it. you might like it.

Why is every Guitar Hero III or Rock Band post littered with comments about getting one game or the other? Considering that consoles in America have in the past not had a lot of great music games, we should just be happy that TWO rad music games are coming out this fall for consoles. Not everything in the gaming world needs to be a "war."

^Also, even if you can play the guitar, which everybody in college and most beggars seems to be able to do, it doesn't mean that GH is not a fun game. I bet if Prick Hero was a game you'd make fun of us for playing it and knock it because you're so good at it in real life.

... something is copyrighted once you create it, so..

1) Burn your tracks to a CD
2) Go to down to the bank, get some sort of notarized document
3) Put all of this in a safe deposit box.
4) Come back here and back yourself up or stop being one of those douches that always has to come into anything Guitar Hero related and brag about being able to actually play a guitar. You know what? Good for you. But if you're going to brag, back it up.

I've got plenty recorded already now, but I don't have to prove shit to cockmouths on the web. Also I'm not about to make music available to be stolen since I the work is not yet copyrighted. You must be stupid if you think I'm worried about whether or not you think I can play. So get as pissy with me about this subject as you want. I know I'm not losing my hair over it.

Kyouryuu — Mon, 09 Jul 2007 20:55:18 MDT

I like the idea of having "boss battles" in the game, which I would interpret to be versus against the CPU. Games like Amplitude had the concept of "boss songs," but being able to play versus mode in Guitar Hero against the CPU could be fun.

I hope those are still concepts, because that plain white color is downright fugly. PS2 one's looking nice.

As others have stated though, Rock Band is going to be so much more superior to this in every way, I don't see how anyone could be excited for this game.

I'll be saving my money for whenever I get a 360 or PS3 to purchase Rock Band.

Magnet — Mon, 09 Jul 2007 17:33:29 MDT

The guitars look silly compared to the Fender guitar for Rock Band. They aren't even trying to improve the peripheral like what they're doing with the Stratocaster for RB. I really don't know if GHIII is going to be worth my money. What's with the pretentious subtitle "Legends of Rock"? Their tracklist doesn't even agree with that on the whole.

@wogsy: You could just pick up GH3 for the ps2 and get rock band for your next-gen of choice... It is pretty tempting for me to do that, but I'll probably get gh3 on PS3, even tho I don't have one yet, so when I get one I can pawn off my PS2.

Im sorry guys, but I just cant get excited by this after seeing rock band..
I've played both guitar hero's and a third will probaly be more of the same except a couple of good songs and some faceplates..

Rock band gets my money Im afraid..

Unless Guitar hero 3 adds the entire Queen, guns n roses and Oasis back catalogues then Im sitiing this one out..

The original Guitar hero will always have a special place in my heart though..

BananaKid — Mon, 09 Jul 2007 16:33:55 MDT

Codemonkey: the other controllers' second buttons are the home buttons. Apparently you just need to press the one on the Wii remote to use it there.

I'm most excited about the removable neck. It'll make it so much easier to transport that guitar than the pain in the ass it was to bring around the explorer.

If the Rock Band guitar works with this game, I'm buying one of each.

Any thoughts on why the Wii version has a analog stick on the upper left of the guitar (at least I think that's what it is) while the other versions (except for PS2) appear to have a 2-button setup?

LordKanchi — Mon, 09 Jul 2007 16:27:05 MDT

What to do, what to do? Both this and Rock band look awesome, and both are going to be at least $100 ($200 for the Rock Band package with all the accessories). Which means it's only worth getting one or the other. I guess it will basically comes down to which has the better song list.

The first game to add a Tool song gets my money.

Would it be too much to ask for a guitar that didn't look like it belongs in the room of a toddler?
