Now that all the big 90's blockbuster movie theme songs have been made, are Aerosmith even relevant anymore?

God I hate that band.

They may not be the best band around, but to deny them is just wrong...

Is there any word on whether or not this Aerosmith version will be available with a new guitar controller yet?

But Rock Band drumming is my favorite Rhythm game pasttime to date.

And I seriously think $170+ was a fair price to pay for it.

Good Job. Pretty soon I might actually consider dooming it to the bottom of my Gamefly queue!

Then buy the standalone game and use your Guitar Hero guitar to play it. Viola. $50 for RB disc and you've already got a guitar.

Unless you're using a PS3. Then yeah, that won't work.

gh aerosmith sucks. cant expect too much from the game seeing as aerosmith is the main benefactor here. i guess when they said "and all of their favorite bands" they meant "bands aerosmith might like that we can afford".

I can't understand how they could choose aerosmith. They have hade the two worst songs in guitar hero history.

If Activision's focus is on the socially inept, then clearly they are the company for me. Call me a dreamer, but I like to imagine that if my intention were to have a social experience rather than a personal one that I would find something better to do than pretend to play guitar in front of people.

I have no ill feelings toward Rock Band whatsoever, I just like Guitar Hero more because it fits better for someone like me who happens to like a larger ratio of music in the GH series than in Rock Band, but more importantly someone who has no use for a 4 palyer game and not remotely enough money to afford it.

There are two choices. Accept that there are people like me with different tastes, or revert to assuming my opinions are based on ignorance. I did a lot of thinking to determine which series I eventually go with, and seeing as I won't have a new console anytime soon if I am going to buy one of two games with no DLC it is going to always be the one with more songs I like.

I have NO DOUBT that Rock Band is a FAR superior game for the purpose of multiplayer, but that purpose is not universal. To someone like me all the multiplayer aspect does is add a LOT to the cost and load you down with bulky peripherials you have no use for.

Rock Band is NOT the universal answer to pretending to play an instrument. Your preference over something does not override the opinion of everyone else, no matter how many high-fiving friends you have who agree.

You're funny. Guitar Hero fails compared to Rock Band. Rock Band covers all genres defined under "Rock" including having a song for Emo kids.

This is an expansion. It has Aerosmith's name on it, but it's not -just- Aerosmith. Get over the title, seriously. That's like saying you would have never played GH3 because Slash was on the cover, and you're no fan of Slash. The game will have Aerosmith, but it won't JUST be Aerosmith.

And, yes. They're releasing this on a disc. A lot of people need to get over that fact, too. We all know that the makers of Rock Band are releasing all their content in the form of downloadable, weekly songs, using microstransactions. The makers of Guitar Hero very rarely put out downloadable songs, and are instead focusing on new installments. You get the same results either way.

And no one cares if you like Rock Band more. That has absolutely nothing at all to do with the topic. If you like Rock Band more, fine. Go play Rock Band. If you like Guitar Hero more, then go play that. Don't look for every little opportunity to insist that you're better than everyone else because of the kind of fake, plastic instrument that you like to sit down and play rock-star with.

And why are people now complaining about free DLC? Does that not seem ridiculous?

Also, I'm sorry to quite a few above posters that not everyone else has the same taste in music as you. They must all be wrong. I'll look in to changing their musical tastes to suit your needs.

Not everyone likes the same music as you.

Aerosmith doesn't suck, you just don't like them. Conversely, Aerosmith doesn't rock, you just like them.

If (Rhythm game X) is so much better than GH: Aerosmith, then why not go and play that instead of whining about a game you already know you don't care about?

Does that seem familiar? If so it is because history tends to repeat itself and all you're doing now is the same thing I have been ignoring for years. I am good at video games, but I am not good at people. I am who I am, and because of that I prefer Guitar Hero. All I did in this topic is stress that there is definitely a market for Guitar Hero, and that just because you prefer Rock Band you don't get to decide which deserves to exist and which doesn't. I hate Activision for being stupid as much as the next person, but they are selling a product better suited for me in multiple ways and that is the one I will buy.

I will not buy a $170 product just so I can pretend to be as cool as everyone else. I'm going to buy the 50 dollar one I can have fun with. If the day comes that buying Rock Band suits me, then I will. To me it is that simple, but then I've never understood the concept of fitting in so I'm probably missing something.

Bobby McPresscott

Why force me to buy yet another useless installment in a franchise I adore? I will get you back. Trust me.

My 360 just RRoD'd. Me sad cause I no play Rock Band any morez.

FUCK THE WORLD!

All I have is my computer. And my dignity. I have that.

That will all change when this game is released.

Anyway, # of Beast is a DLC song, I wasn't counting those as part of the set list.

@38dirtyapes: I'd say Guns 'n' Roses' back-catalogue is probably popular and varied enough to get to deserve their own version of Guitar Hero. I don't think they need to be attached to Aerosmith's version. Besides, not mentioning a band doesn't mean you're "dissing" them.

@Bobby McPresscott: Rock Band is awesome with or without friends, but that's really besides the point. The GH series was great until it got sold to Activision, and like was predicted, it turned into crap! It became even less of a simulation. It became long lengths of hammer-ons even though you can hear the guitarist strumming. The two player mode became who gets the better "attacks." It's fucking terrible, and Harmonix was right to get out of there.

@Pezdispenser: I would only buy this game if Revolution X was included. Not kidding. XD

@Nickatiah: Good question, perhaps because his opinion is that they suck.

@Rurik: You pretend that each person has the same music tastes. Maybe you like the playlist on Rock Band more than Guitar Hero, but others like the Guitar Hero playlist more than the Rock Band playlist. The overlap between the playlists is large enough that your generalization really doesn't have any merit. Personally, for most of the groups that are common I liked the song that was on GH better than on RB. I think One is much better than Enter Sandman, My Name Is Jonas is a better song than Say It Ain't So (granted part of that is I'm getting tired of hearing Say It Ain't So all the time at work), and Number of the Beast and Run For the Hills are close but I like the Number better. I would, however, have liked to have seen Epic on GH and something from The Clash on there that wasn't Should I Stay or Should I Go Now (while it's most popular, they ahve better songs, it just is more pop friendly). I did prefer Rock Band's choice to go with Won't Get Fooled Again, though, rather than The Seeker.

The only thing I can think of that would make this game perfect would be if they included Revolution X in there as an unlockable bonus.

It gets really old seeing people needlessly trash Guitar Hero, and this just solidifies my opinion. If Activision makes a lot of titles like this they will successfully find their own corner to play in as a less generic and more flamboyant guitar adventure. Believe it or not, some people don't actually have friends and play video games BECAUSE of that.

Rock Band is useless to people like me, but this game looks great. Regardless of how stupid Activision is, that doesn't change the fact it is good music. If you like Rock Band, play Rock Band. I won't be getting until at least the first hardware revision, but meanwhile I'll be having plenty of fun playing Guitar hero spinoffs like this as long as they don't try and pull a fast one with a severely abridged tracklist.
