    Nice setlist you missed out Three doors down though

    craig - June 4, 2009 at 1:22 am

    wtf!!!!! no metallica????? well i guess they did just come out with there own game…

    Gitai Vinshtok - June 4, 2009 at 10:53 pm

    Why no SOAD???

    Jukesey - June 5, 2009 at 6:29 pm

    I know it will never happen again but I would die to see Bloc Party in GH.

    Skyler - June 5, 2009 at 7:48 pm

    Looks like a decent setlist. Not what I’d call their, “best setlist ever”

    mastr h - June 5, 2009 at 11:47 pm

    I NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHERE IS SOAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! dey should make one jus 4 dem

    Harold Rodriguez - June 6, 2009 at 8:35 am

    Is it just me who thinks Guitar Hero is embarassingly filled with Pop for a GUITAR orientated game, rather than a singing game?

    GET SOME MORE METAL IN THERE DAMMIT.

    Jack Z - June 6, 2009 at 9:08 am

    Harold Rodriguez has got it spot on, this is the worst one yet for metal. Sort it out guitar hero

    montrell - June 6, 2009 at 3:48 pm

    Wat the heck no foo fighters or metallica, what about sublime, or the beatles.

    montrell - June 6, 2009 at 3:50 pm

    oh snap there is sublime. it should be doin time

    Carlos Gutierrez - June 6, 2009 at 5:46 pm

    I don’t think the line-up is horrible, clearly Guitar Hero 5 is going for a specific target audience with bands like Kings of Leon, Arctic Monkeys, Sonic Youth, The Killers, Vampire Weekend, TV On The Radio. The setlist is shockfull of indie bands. Hopefully other versions of the game will continue to include different bands from different genres.

    Joey F - June 6, 2009 at 10:09 pm

    There are alot of obviouses and surprises in the setlist. I mean come on, led zepplid should have been up there with lynard skynard in GH2. It’s also good to see some returns like megadeth and iron maiden. i think this might be a good seller and enjoyable gameplay

    billy bob - June 7, 2009 at 10:53 pm

    Why no pantera would of liked to seen walk

    cj - June 8, 2009 at 7:15 pm

    What no gnr def lepperd no journey they dont even have vanhalen wthat about ERUPTIoN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Dragster - June 8, 2009 at 9:15 pm

    I am excited to FINALLY play RUNNIN DOWN A DREAM. I like that they got the Rolling Stones back in there along with Bon Jovi, John Mellencamp, Elton John’s Saturday Night’s Alright for Fightin will be a blast on guitar, finally Dire Straits, Rush (hopefully Spirit of Radio), Queen and David Bowie (probably Under Pressure), Peter Frampton (hopefully Show me the Way), Police, Thin Lizzy, Kiss, and Grand Funk Railroad (hopefully We’re an American Band). However, where is GUNS N ROSES WITH PARADISE CITY????? WHERE IS MORE DEF LEPPARD WITH POUR SOME SUGAR ON ME???? THEY NEED TO GET MORE HARD ROCK AND CLASSIC ROCK (JOURNEY- DON’T STOP BELIEVIN)???

    Dragster - June 8, 2009 at 9:17 pm

    cj- I don’t believe they put Van Halen on there, although I do LOVE them, because they are coming out with a Guitar Hero:Van Halen this summer which does include Eruption! I do agree with you though that Def Leppard and gnr should be on there!!!!!

    manny - June 8, 2009 at 10:53 pm

    hell yeah Rammstein its about time i hope its Buck Dich

    Big Steve - June 10, 2009 at 4:29 pm

    Please Forget Def Leppard – Way,Way Overated. Now as for GNR – I’m with you all,
    but nobody mentions one of the Best Songs Ever – “I used to Love Her” – That’s
    what I’m talkin about. Put that with “Sweet Child O’ Mine”, and I’m a happy Man.
    Also, maybe I’m seeing things, did I see “All Along the Watchtower” by Dylan &
    not Hendrix. Listen Dylan might have written it, but Jimi made it into the Greatest
    Rock Song of All Time. Please tell me I’m wrong about seeing this

    NANMAN - June 12, 2009 at 1:33 pm

    IM KOOKIN OUT. Gov’t Mule, T-rex, The Funk, Stevie Wonder the list goes on. HOLY DOG SHIT!!!

    chris - June 13, 2009 at 8:29 pm

    The setlist is better than 4 ill give it that but still comon. What has happen to the GUITAR in guitar hero? Like really? Guitar heros 1-3 were just epic and each one got harder. Now they are just pathetic. I cant believe that we ve gotten to the point where Weezer (which is possible one of the most homosexual bands ever) to officially have more songs in a guitar hero than Avenged Sevenfold, Bullet for my Valentine, Dragonforce, or Buckethead does. WHATS WITH ALL THE INDIE MUSIC???? and people may say that the developers are just trying to get everyone play the game and attract all aspects of music. UMMM we are at the, what is it now, 8th guitar hero. IF PEOPLE HAVENT STARTED PLAYING IT BY NOW THEY ARENT GOING TO START JUST BECAUSE BOB DYLAN IS IN THE GAME? and if they are trying to make a wide variety then why cant we make a guitar hero with 90% hard rock and metal. 2 VERY POPULAR GENRES RIGHT NOW THAT SEEM TO BE LACKING IN GUITAR HERO 4 AND 5. Guitar hero is a dying series thats going to wear itself out unless it can start to step it up!

    Namsu - June 15, 2009 at 1:36 pm

    dragster i agree with u that GNR(my favorite band)should be on there.They stopped GNR after 3 and then started bringing in all the pop and homosexual bands lyk weezer.Def Leppard should definetly be in there with pour some sugar on me that song rocks!!!!!……. they r taking away the hard rock bands and the game is VERY SLOWLY turning in to guitar hero jonas brothers.!!

    supa kool guy - June 15, 2009 at 7:52 pm

    guitar hero should honestly dedicate a guitar hero to just creepy and death metal bands. Just use bands like Dope, Mindless self indulgence, lamb of god, Marilyn Manson, Cradle of Filth, Bloodbath. That would make a good game for people that have a large intrest in those genres because they keep making stuff for 8 year olds, homosexuals and old people. Most of the people buying guitar hero are metal fans only buying the game for usually the last 2 setlists of the game. Setlists 7 and 8 were amazing in guitar 2 and 3 but in guitar hero 4 it just sucked. Sure Bullet for my valentine is awesome but everything else was much older stuff.
    And to all SOAD fans SOAD only has two good songs everything else is’nt that great.

    jj - June 15, 2009 at 10:51 pm

    put all of the songs not bands

    carllegendx - June 16, 2009 at 12:55 pm

    im a guitar hero fan but this guitar hero5 with no system of a down songs ?? WTF ???

    Kadermathory - June 16, 2009 at 3:28 pm

    it’s awesome, very good Dire Straits….

    Kadermathory - June 16, 2009 at 3:31 pm

    Awesome

    rob - June 16, 2009 at 4:33 pm

    what? No Foo Fighters or RHCP??!!!!!

    Razultull - June 16, 2009 at 5:09 pm

    Man, no guitar game is complete without Stairway to heaven , Hendrix, Steely Dan, The Allman Brothers, Grateful Dead, Alter Bridge, i dont know whyt hey leave thes guuys out every time its so frustrating!

    Razultull - June 16, 2009 at 5:12 pm

    and i agree there are some extremely epicly homosexual bands on there…Duran Duran, Elton John, Coldplay!!!!? i MEAN COME THE FUCK ON

    jadadaadada - June 16, 2009 at 8:00 pm

    what is up with this bull crap pop wannabe music?
    i know just change the name to guitar…wait nah just call it nothing

    Tony - June 16, 2009 at 10:01 pm

    When are they going to release some good MODERN ROCK tracks. Examples: Chevelle, Collective Soul, Shinedown, Sevendust, Seether, Breaking Benjamin, Three Days Grace, Trapt, Audioslave, MORE Avenged Sevenfold, Disturbed, Eve 6 (Inside Out….one of the greastest rock songs of my generation…IMO), The Exies, GREEN DAY, Incubus, Hoobastank, 3 Doors Down, Korn, Linkin Park, Nickelback, Nine Inch Nails, Papa Roach etc

    WTF!!!?!?! Really, half of that list up there is bands already featured on the 4 games before. How about something DIFFERNT than the creators gay indie bands favorites and worn out bands. That list sucks, and I refuse to buy another Guitar Hero game until they get some decent music on their setlists. I own II, III, Aerosmith, Metallica, And World Tour. World Tour set list sucked after the 5 gigs. Tool was its only redeeming factor. I love Guitar Hero gameplay, but Rockband has x1,000,000 better songs and the lists you can download are insane. Tons of great modern rock and classic rock tracks. Ive probably downloaded 60 bucks worth of extra songs from RB and RB2. Get your crap together GH creators. Your songs suck.

    Scott - June 16, 2009 at 11:12 pm

    alls i need is a good nirvana song and the game is complete
    guitar hero still needs a soundgarden song in one of there games
    but it seems decent and i will probly think about getting it

    will - June 17, 2009 at 12:12 am

    hey if u want hard metal krap songs go play rock band i like the classics just fine we need to get rid of all the little punks anyway

    will - June 17, 2009 at 12:16 am

    bands r only homo 2 the people who dnt like them no1 is forcing u to buy the game if u dnt like it dnt buy it

    Kevin - June 17, 2009 at 2:56 am

    I would like to see some nickelback, anberlin, rise against, disturbed, and green day. They need to get more modern songs if they want to keep attracting younger generations and make more money.

    Leo - June 17, 2009 at 12:55 pm

    DANG, SUBLIME and KINGS OF LEON! MY FAVORITE BANDS! but it shouldn’t be sex on fire, it should be 4 kicks, and Sublime better be Under my Voodoo! or Badfish

    lucas - June 17, 2009 at 2:34 pm

    WHAT THE FUCK NO LED ZEPPELIN!!!!!! IF THEY WERE IN THE GAME WOULD BE PERFECT!!!! STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN HAVE BEEN RATED BEST ROCK SONG OF ALL TIME HOW THE HELL COULD THEY SKIP THAT!!!!

    Remco - June 17, 2009 at 3:39 pm

    Yes Muse Again But What Song This Time ??

    Ryan - June 17, 2009 at 3:46 pm

    DAMN RIGHT, LUCAS!!!!! Those dumbshits keep putting more crap pop music and shit!!! The game should just be, “Rock N’ Roll.” I don’t ever recall one AC/DC or Led Zeppelin song in ANY of the guitar hero games!!

    arjan - June 17, 2009 at 4:18 pm

    please guys,if your’re actually guys quit the wining over S.O.A.D,people say tallica has lost they’re way well that the way soad started and ended with riffs riffs riffs and rubbish,comon there is no serious subject in any soad songs and if there is the singer is singin it like crap or the guitarist is playing guitar like an 8 year old,its all 1 finger dopr d crap or sounds just plain pathetic,maiden heck even status quo outranks that crap band in 10 fault.avenged sevenfold is okay but still teenagers stuff we need exodus saxon testament megadeth all those classeic thrash band and perhaps dio or priest,this list defines pop hero instead of guitar hero and we all know pop and rap destroyed outrageuos guitarist on mtv and other channels,so this game will not even pay tribute to the guitar.this list is so off or to fast and soulles micheal angelo batio and to slow and simple/boring nirvana really im done with this stuff i pretend it does’nt exist.

    Rocky - June 17, 2009 at 4:27 pm

    No country and i will be happy… this is a rock and roll game!!!! put in some more metal!

    i am murmec - June 17, 2009 at 11:53 pm

    they should make a guitar hero

    i am murmec - June 17, 2009 at 11:55 pm

    they should make a guitar hero SYSTEM OF A DOWN. I would buy it on the first day.

    or make a guitar hero metal version, for us metal heads. I would want chop suey by SOAD on it. Because rock band pisses me off

    ygiupg - June 18, 2009 at 12:11 am

    Wow, no Rise against… balls…

    Matt - June 18, 2009 at 11:03 pm

    dude, they need to make a pure metal GH.
    with slipknot, metallica, five finger death punch, a7x etc..
    this crap ain’t cuttin’ it. this has to be the crappiest GH yet.

    Jim - June 19, 2009 at 9:40 am

    Pantera would have been awesome, especially if they had becoming

    Dougie - June 19, 2009 at 1:16 pm

    I think if you view the way gh is set up its better than rb but rb has way more songs
    the next gh should be focused on modern day songs like Atreyu -Becoming the Bull or Nickelback
    i must admit that greenday and ac/dc are big misses

    Lachlan - June 19, 2009 at 10:23 pm

    they always put gay bands in no metal or hardcore or screamo And how the hell DID BECK get in there the only good band i like is ATTACK ATTACK! i probably won’t buy this one

    Jason - June 20, 2009 at 1:00 am

    People do you research before you QQ about the songlist. There is no and never will be led zeppelin in a rhythm game, they have announced multiple times that the only way you can play one of there songs is with a real instrument. No beatles, AC/DC, or GNR because they are rock band exclusives. There is no Van halen because they have their own game coming out. I think this has to be one of the best GH games based off of the bands some of them have really caught my eye. Going down the list i can hope for Kiss-love gun, Blink182-whats my age again, Muse-supermassive blackhole, White stripes-seven nation army, gorrilaz-feel good inc, racontuers-steady as you go, coldplay-Talk, Nirvana-smells like teen spirit, Rush-Spirit of the radio (anything would be awesome though lol), Smashing pumpkins-bullet with butterfly wings, Attack attack-stick stickly, wolfmother-Joker and the thief, Beck-loser, Weezer-island in the sun, Queen and david bowie-under pressure (duh), The killers-All these things that ive done, rolling stones-sympathy for the devil, thin lizzy-Jailbreak, elton john-tiny dancer. thats what im hoping for anyway

    Dougie - June 20, 2009 at 8:56 am

    it better be girls girls girls by motley crue

    Dougie - June 20, 2009 at 8:59 am

    hurry up and tell us what songs it is and not just the feking artists i dont care about the artists in the end its the solo/riff i care about

    im a drummer so i dont care actually :P

    Carlos Gutierrez - June 20, 2009 at 10:57 am

    So far they have only released the list of bands and not the song list, yet. As soon as i get it i will post it.

    fuddles - June 20, 2009 at 9:26 pm

    Hm, me getting this all relies pretty much on what Megadeth song they’ve put in.

    Also, SOAD fans…shut up. SOAD had ONE SONG in the HISTORY of Guitar Hero. Its not like this is the first one WITHOUT it.

    With any luck, you go RB Style and Export all of the songs from Neversofts Band games (Metallica, GHWT+GHWT DLC) would make it much better. Perhaps even export the GH3 songs into the game too?

    Do that, and Rock Band has one less player! (PST…I mean me)

    LLa - June 21, 2009 at 1:45 am

    Damn this setlist suck
    why??????????????????
    why dont they put some ACDC, Led Zeppelin, Santana (another one), more rock! they arent focusing on guitar, they are focusing on shity songs

    frank - June 21, 2009 at 2:26 am

    maybe they have so much indie because indie is good. + they just came out with mettallica which is 100% metal. Im buyin this just for arctic monkeys they are the best

    tl - June 21, 2009 at 6:28 am

    No attreyu, anberlin, a7x, disturbed, rise against, shadows fall, or foo fighters. Hell, I would have settled for a my chemical romance song. I’d sure hate for these genius creators to satisfy the people who got them rich and famous. Thanks for the disappointment.

    Tom - June 21, 2009 at 10:13 am

    They seriously need Enter Shikari and taking back sunday on guitar hero!!

    guitarkid - June 21, 2009 at 1:46 pm

    i think that everyone talking bout metal is right i canplay expert and after aerosmith i wanted GH$ so bad and i quit playing cause of those gay ASS songs on there. Put some AC/DC in there, metallica, GNR, Zepplin, some metal i mean these gay songs wont cut it

    chris - June 21, 2009 at 11:20 pm

    they need to get more metal in there instead of this light pop stuff, thats not real guitar. put in metallica and metal like that

    eddie - June 23, 2009 at 12:30 am

    this is a load. ever since they added the vocals and crap they made everything more pop. bring back the good songs. i loved the over 90% of the songs on GH2. i want songs that im gonna actually have to try on. not songs where its the same notes over and over. and they should have a GH black sabbath/heaven and hell

    Chris Morris - June 23, 2009 at 7:23 pm

    Look at the bright side, this is a whole lot fuckin’ better than Guitar Hero World Tours list, that was preety horrible accually lol. I’m so glad Children Of Bodom is on it too, Kissing the shadows would be epic. I hope it’s Holy Wars… The Punishment Due by Megadeth will be on it. And I’m fine with any Smashing Pumpkins song from thier first 3 albums… They’re my favorite band so it’s great to still see them on Guitar Hero. Geek U.S.A needs to be on the next guitar hero, It has really hard drums and guitar. The solo is #53 on GuitarWorld. Geek U.S.A would be freakin’ epic. Beck! I’m so happy! Thatt was unexpecting! And Gorillaz! And if they’re going to have any Elton John son they better have Rocketman! AND WHITE STRIPES OMG YES. The only bands that are bad on here are the emo bands (like Thrice, EW) and a few of the indie bands. This is an epic win for Guitar Hero, If they have all of each of the bands best songs on this game that would make this the best guitar hero hands down.

    Chris Morris - June 23, 2009 at 7:26 pm

    And Blue Orchid by White Stripes will be on it not Seven Nation Army. Both songs though would be nice … They should have The White Stripes be a band on it and be playable characters :D

    JoeXcorexxxxxxXxX - June 23, 2009 at 11:27 pm

    I love when you guys think so much about the worst band in history, SOAD. They had like one good song in their entire career. When I see people say metal and start naming all these mainstream bands it sickens me. Now what Guitar Hero should do is think hmm, 90% of the people who play this its because they want to play a fast, fun, hard song. In this case, metal would be amazing. Get some technical bands on there like Protest the Hero or The Human Abstract. If they could put Mea Culpa or Vela, Together We Await the Storm, I would buy this game in a heart beat.

    JoeXcorexxxxxxXxX - June 23, 2009 at 11:28 pm

    Oh and it better be Downfall by CoB haha, songs epic.

    Bob20 - June 24, 2009 at 2:35 am

    No Metallica!!!!!!Man!Activision/Neversoft is the worst!!!!!!!!!

    Rony - June 24, 2009 at 3:48 pm

    CoB should have kissing the shadows, and guitar hero should put more metal bands… or at least their DLC be better because on world tour it sucks bad!!!!

    Casey - June 24, 2009 at 9:43 pm

    For all of those who are completely unaware, there will be no time in the near future where you will see any song from Led Zeppelin on Guitar Hero or Rock Band. In numerous interviews and requests, Jimmy Page has expressed ABSOLUTELY NO INTEREST in allowing GH or RB to use their songs. He is completley against the whole idea of people learning “how to play instruments” by the use of a video game. While I am a super fan of Led Zeppelin I am sorry to say we will not now or probably ever see a Led Zeppelin song on any video game!

    Harry Johnson - June 24, 2009 at 10:16 pm

    WTF is there no Zeppelin in any of these games, get some more good classic rock in a Guitar game.

    scruffy - June 25, 2009 at 12:33 am

    for all u idiots out there that were in a coma in march, THEY JUST CAME OUT WITH GUITAR HERO METALLICA. if u want to play metallica that damn bad go buy it. and seriously they need some metal bands on here. like trivium, atreyu, a7x, devil wears prada, underoath, more lamb of god, more korn, more killswitch engage, gojira, more disturbed, more slipknot, bring me the horizon, bless the fall, more all that remains, and a day to remember. and it would be pretty kool to see bob marley on there too. and seriously putting vocals in there just made the game so much worse. all it did was make them add gay ass songs. next thing u know hannah montana and all those disney cunts and no sex ring wearing faggots will be on it.

    Dreamforce X - June 25, 2009 at 2:45 am

    Everyone quit bitching that there’s no Zeppelin. As of right now, there never will be. They’re not a sell out band. That’s why you can’t buy their music on iTunes or at least you couldn’t. They chose not to sell out like other bands. Again, they just came out with Guitar Hero: Metallica. It’s amazing. Shut the hell up that there’s no Metallica in this guitar hero. Just shut the hell up. If you don’t like the set list, don’t buy it. Quit being p.i.t.a.’s.

    They do need to start putting some better music on guitar hero. I would love to see some more metal/progressive stuff. Dream Theater, Dragonforce, KSE, Slipknot, and other stuff that would be fun, but challenging. Some of the stuff is good, but some stuff is just what the hell is going on. I think it will overall be a fun and entertaining game. Should be good.

    Dom - June 25, 2009 at 9:42 pm

    Omg stop goin on about metallica iluv them yes but there getin there own game so its pointless putin there songs on gh5 just buy gh metallica i was hopeing to see sume soad and slipknot but thats my opinion

    Josh - June 25, 2009 at 11:30 pm

    Honestly, I wish that you guys would read first, post later… Instead of 18 messages about how Stairway to Heaven wont be on this. You act like that was their best/only song to begin with, but just stfu…

    As for all of these metal demanding people… who name great bands and than in the same breath… ask for some real shit bands. Yeah slipknot would have been awesome but we (i hope) want the old shit… Iowa and older. At best we could expect Vermillion 2 to actually make the cut.

    Point is, shut the fuck up.

    Metallica came out, and you are a bunch of whiners. Get over it and go play a real guitar.

    Ben - June 25, 2009 at 11:51 pm

    THIS GAY AS SHIT!!!

    pop ass gay shitty cock songs

    storm - June 26, 2009 at 12:54 am

    They better commemorate michael jackson now!

    And don’t even say anything assholish. Sure he had allogations against him but did anything happen with those allogations? I didn’t think so. And even so he was a person, I’ve already wrote it once but if your mom looked a little funny and had some false allogations would you be happy if she died? Didn’t think so. He may not have been close to you personally but he was a human life! And all human lives should be commemorated (if they were famous :D)

    And no, I’m definitely not religious e-mail me if you want my religious views-
    s_hultine@live.com

    but seriously, DEFINITELY NEED SOME MICHAEL JACKSON NOW!! THRILLLLAAAAH! THRILLER NIIIIGHT!

    mitch - June 26, 2009 at 11:52 am

    no ones forcing you to buy the game. if you dont like it just sit down and shut up because your complaining is just anoying. i personally love indie rock and i think this is the best setlist yet. they gave you metal ass holes guitar hero metallica so stop complaining.

    srsly the suck - June 27, 2009 at 6:11 pm

    they need to stop making it a pop-oriented game I mean srsly there focusing on mainstreamism not on difficult guitar songs…..

    weres the metal srsly

    Cynic
    Death
    atheist
    necrophagist
    the faceless
    nile
    mostly death but all have a list of songs that would fit Really well

    Louis - June 28, 2009 at 1:05 am

    WTF! NO LINKIN PARK!?!?!?!?

    Ray - June 28, 2009 at 3:43 am

    Hahaha, I just read the requests that people would like to see in guitar hero games… Nickelback? Avenged Sevenfold? Green Day?

    Come on. That stuff is shit. Personally, I’m more than happy with the bands on here…

    Band Of Horses
    Muse
    The White Stripes
    Beck
    Weezer
    Sonic Youth
    Vampire Weekend
    TV On The Radio

    great fun, and fantastic music. Stop bitching, go wear assless leather chaps, watch The Song Remains The Same, and leave fans of good music alone.

    Ray - June 28, 2009 at 3:44 am

    p.p.s.

    SONIC YOUTH!!!

    poeple only know them from Kool Thing, but if you’re looking for great music, listen to EVOL, Sonic Nurse, Washing Machine, A Thousand Leaves, etc.

    Ray - June 28, 2009 at 3:46 am

    linkin park?

    FAIL.

    Matthew, Justice For The 96 - June 28, 2009 at 8:30 am

    OMG :D rolling stones,, old classics and new legends are all involved in this great setlist. So what if thers no metallica, u have the metallica version for that :P cnt wait for this one to cum out.

    Nate - June 28, 2009 at 5:32 pm

    Seems alright… I’m getting into music cause of gh and yeah, i wish there was more metal. And whichever game comes out with Seether first i will stay with that music game. Oh and Silvergun. I’m kinda tired of the pop personally. And something harder than through the fire and flames. I’m over it. Beat it on Smash Hits. Just stating my opinion.

    Nate - June 28, 2009 at 5:36 pm

    And i agree i want more SOAD (B.Y.O.B. rocked in GHWT) and Disturbed-DOWN WITH THE SICKNESS! Seriously though some Seether.

    Matt - June 29, 2009 at 10:50 am

    what about system of a down!!!!!!

    Nate - June 29, 2009 at 1:25 pm

    Exactly some SOAD (System of a Down)! Chop Suey or Sugar would be my picks.
    Seether:Like Suicide, Fake it, F*** it, or Pig
    Silvergun:Ridin’ With the Devil (Crazy on drums)
    Maybe another Dragonforce song to make things hard

    Evan - June 29, 2009 at 1:42 pm

    good god this is the worst set list anyone could have ever created first of all the game is GUITAR hero and a little over 3/4 of this setlist i listen to and hear almost no guitar what happened to guitar hero having the great ROCKnROLL bands such as motorhead, Blue oyster cult, cream, ozzy, black sabbath, now granted zz top is not the best band ever but it was fun to play, im glad megadeth is back but there are more bands that could be added such as more hendrix (with vocals), led zeppelin would be amazing of course but will likely never happen, more iron maiden, some Black label society (you know that amazing guitar player from ozzy Zakk Wylde’s band) stevie ray vaughn was good on 3 why not more of him the sysytem of a down and slayer songs are hard but imensly fun to play they need to leave out the pop rock such as def lepard and definatly NO JOURNEY if you need JOURNEY to be in guitar hero your messed up it’s a chick band Now some classic REO Speedwagon before they turned into a chick band would be nice

    but my biggest thing is why not add more thrash metal such as more Slayer Anthrax TESTAMEN Overkill Exodus or even High of Fire and more THE SWORD keep soft rock crap out especially the efed up hair metal such as motley crue and i swear if i have to play one more Poison song i will burn my copy of guitar hero and never play another one

    Tyler - July 1, 2009 at 10:22 am

    Well I like that they brought The Sword back, Freya was one of my favorites off of GH2. Also I like that they put Darkest Hour in there, hope its Demon(s). And Attack Attack but yeah the Guitar Hero franchise is just like falling like im into Deathcore and that stuff so i need stuff thats heavy not Elton John. Honestly they should make a Deathcore/Death Metal GH but they most likely will never do it just cuz it be damn hard but whatever it’d be a challenge. I remember when I got GH4 and i got 5 stars on every song except for Satch Boogie and Hot for Teacher. just sad

    Mitch - July 1, 2009 at 7:23 pm

    Hahaha dude you guys crack me up! like i said earlier no ones forcing you to get the game. hey i have a GREAT idea! if you love all that metal shit and want to play it WHY DON’T YOU PLAY IT ON A REAL INSTRUMRENT AND NOT A GAME! stop your bitching and do something real! seriously! and i still think this is the best ssetlist yet. my only complaint is maybe some RHCP. they have one of the best lineups in the history of music in my opinion.

    Mitch - July 1, 2009 at 7:23 pm

    Hahaha dude you guys crack me up! like i said earlier no ones forcing you to get the game. hey i have a GREAT idea! if you love all that metal shit and want to play it WHY DON’T YOU PLAY IT ON A REAL INSTRUMRENT AND NOT A GAME! stop your bitching and do something real! seriously! my only complaint is maybe some RHCP. they have one of the best lineups in the history of music in my opinion.

    Jakub - July 2, 2009 at 2:03 pm

    okay people they were saying that you can transfer you setlist from guitar hero world tour to guitar hero 5.

    and plus there will be downloadable content!
    chill people.

    ZCzy - July 2, 2009 at 9:47 pm

    I have to agree with Supa. It is time for a metal only Guitar Hero. I am a huge Marilyn Manson fan but have been disappointed year after year. Enough with Nirvana and Beastie Boys as well as Sonic Youth and Weezer. How about more of Korn and SOAD ( one song each) and how about Manson, Killswith, and Atreyu. I have become an expert at playing songs weith my eyes closed and head falling back because the songs are boring and make me sleepy. How about a guitar hero where fans can vote for their personal favorites!?!?!?

    Louie - July 3, 2009 at 4:19 am

    Good setlist….. to much indie…
    YAY FOR BLINK 182!!!
    deff needs more metal though…
    no SOAD!
    No RATM!
    No Slipknot!
    and why haven’t Seether or Karnivool had a song yet?
    Still, looking fowrad to blink 182, Smashing Pumpkins, B’ Boys and Rolling Stones
    Stevie Wonder better be Superstion!

    Melanie - July 4, 2009 at 1:57 pm

    THE WHITE STRIPES are on there?!!?!?! That’s awesome!!!! What song? It’s kind of odd though because they don’t normally have any bass in there… Oh well. It’s Guitar Hero not Rock Band anyways…
    I’m gonna have to say that this is one of the most exciting setlists for me :D

    Bristol - July 4, 2009 at 5:06 pm

    NO GUNS N’ ROSES!!!!! Now I love eveything else but the no GNR thing ticks me off!!!! UGH somebody call the company I want my GNR! But I love Thin Lizzy good choice!

    Vee - July 5, 2009 at 3:50 am

    Thank god the makers of GH finally realised that putting the likes of the Arctic Monkeys, Kings of Leon, Blur e.t.c will increase their sales on GH5 hugely

    Vee - July 5, 2009 at 4:07 am

    P.S I really cant understand why people are moaning about there being too much indie because some people have had enough of playing shite like system of a down seriously i ive had to play all the other GH with the likes of motorhead, bullet for my valentine, korn, metallica who personally i think are shit and you are moaning because 1 out of the 5 or GH have indie in it? How about if they made the next 3 or 4 GH with similar setlists? You’d then understand what its like to sit year after year playing games with 70% of the songs you think are shit.

    donovan - July 5, 2009 at 5:01 pm

    they need more modern rock like 3 days grace, breaking benjamin, korn, A7X, Rise against, Disturbed, Papa Roach, Bullet for my Valentine, and Linkin Park.. come on Guitar hero

    ZaP2012 - July 6, 2009 at 1:36 am

    this is a fact you will be able to export GHWT songs to the system you can play them on GH5

    I don’t know about GH Metallica and smash hits but it seems likely that they will also transfer

    turtlemandude - July 6, 2009 at 1:07 pm

    there are a few band i like to see like the the smiths
    dio
    the misfits
    cannibal corpse
    heaven & hell
    gwar
    himsa
    bleeding through
    static-x
    tiger army
    the 69 eyes
    dead to fall
    the trashmen with surfin bird
    turbonegro
    satyricon
    overkill
    mindless self indulgence with shut me up
    king diamond welcome home
    johhny cash

    devildriver
    those are justa few band i would like to see on the next gh

    beto - July 6, 2009 at 4:39 pm

    this band set list aint all bad.
    i’m an indie fan so i’m glad to see some indie music on there (at long last.)
    one problem is that all the hard rock/metal fans are mad that there isnt any “true metal” music on here. i dont know why. “Guitar Hero: Metallica” is out.
    another is they are puttin more modern music. they should add a few classics.
    but the bands i’m happy with are:

    Vampire Weekend
    Arctic Monkeys
    The White Stripes
    Gorillaz
    Rolling Stones
    Wolfmother
    King of Leon
    Iggy Pop
    Sublime
    & TV on the Radio.

    But there are some bands that surprised me by them bein there like:
    Johnny Cash
    and Stevie Wonder

    And bands i wouldve wanted on as well are:
    The Strokes
    The Ramones
    The Dead Kennedys
    The Gaslight Anthem
    Peter Bjorn & John
    Bloc Party
    & Tokyo Police Club

    fadafdfadfad - July 8, 2009 at 2:48 pm

    where the hell is slayer, guitar hero, jesus christ

    Josh Walton - July 8, 2009 at 5:27 pm

    Holy crap Activision..you took a major shit on this one..the only stuff i saw that i liked was:
    Iron Maiden, Nirvana, The Sword, Rammstien, A Perfect Circle, Children of Bodom & Megadeath.
    Guitar hero..need i say more?..GUITAR hero..not punk-ass-homo-bitch hero…you majorly need to include:
    Bullet For My Valentine, Avenged Sevenfold, Disturbed, Atreyu, Shinedown, Papa Roach, Killswitch Engage, Slayer, Anvil, Escape The Fate, The Offspring, System of a Down, Senses Fail, Diecast, Sevendust….ANYTHING with real freakin guitar! or drums at least since you decided to copy rock band! Jesus Hates You

    Josh Walton - July 8, 2009 at 5:29 pm

    Oh Ya…Dope, Rise Against, The Fall of Troy..Come on!

    Drumma boi - July 8, 2009 at 8:49 pm

    Come on wheres foo fighters? For a band game they’re one of the best modern ones. And too much metal isn’t good cause all the drums are like the same with blasts beats and all… it gets easy too fast if your good at it.

    mesa - July 8, 2009 at 9:40 pm

    holy shit thats not a setlist its just the bands

    BigTMan - July 9, 2009 at 4:12 am

    I agree and disagree with most ppl…. need more modern bands for sure…. slayer, black label society, disturbed, godsmack, s.o.a.d, slipknot, shinedown?, breaking benjamin, what about old skool offspring??, or better older suff could be def leppard, led zepplin, more ozzy!!, pink floyd??, AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST………………………………………………………

    JOE SATRIANI IS A FUCKING GUITAR GOD!!! ITS HIS LABLE AND HE SHOULD REALLY GET HIS OWN GAME BECAUSE IT WOULD BE ABSOLUTLY STELLAR, BUT NOT ONE SONG??? COME THE FUCK ON!!! SATCH BOOGIE WAS FUCKIN AMAZING TO PLAY EVEN ON THE DRUMS, I THINK HE DESERVES AT LEAST ANOTHER SONG PPL!!!

    Dom - July 9, 2009 at 1:02 pm

    Wow there’s gonna be a lot of songs on this one. Yay!!!!

    Dom - July 9, 2009 at 1:05 pm

    Omfg I didn’t see Scars on Broadway!!!! They’re awesome!!!!! Just like System of a Down!!!!!

    justin - July 9, 2009 at 1:39 pm

    Led Zeppelin isn’t in this? What does guitar hero have against them?

    BigTMan - July 9, 2009 at 4:52 pm

    Who agrees with me on the joe satriani????

    MiKe - July 9, 2009 at 6:02 pm

    I agree with you justin they shouyld have some Led Zeppelin songs like stairway to heaven or houses of the holy at least something. And montrell, Rockband is already making Rock Band Beatles.

    Callum - July 9, 2009 at 7:30 pm

    They dont have anything against Led Zeppelin. The band is notoriously hard to get to license there stuff out, the reason there’s no Led Zep is cos Led Zep wont let them use there songs, and im not saying i dont like all the indie music and pop i am more of a metal man but tbh calm down, the music on this setlist is alright but then again, if you listen to it, its not exactly guitar driven. The reason stuff like metal is would be better for this is because generally metal is more guitar driven so would be more fun and challenging to play. If you dont like it check out rock band they have a fuck load of downloadable content wich will probably make you happy, theres no Metallica because GH just made a fucking game about them and christ, if you love some of these bands so much to defend them fiercely how bout actually picking up a cheap guitar and amp and learning some basic stuff, guitar is fucking easy, granted it takes some practise but so does most things. Just cos you cant solo as soon as you pick one up it dosent mean you suck you just got to practise. And dont do any stupid hate comments just cos you think im being unreasonable cos ive not bashed any of your bands you nonse

    mummert - July 9, 2009 at 10:37 pm

    thank god wolfmother is back on GH and the whites stripes are a good addition

    fred - July 10, 2009 at 12:37 am

    nice! i hope they put the red hot chili peppers on the next one and i would like to c a tribute to michael jackson like a human nature or billie jean or maybe if you can a THRILLER!!! :) tht would be nice!

    Riley - July 10, 2009 at 12:48 am

    Sick – Brand New is up there. That’s going to be fun to play… considering the song is Sowing Season. It’s a pretty intense one…

    Anyway, this is probably the best list yet.

    And you metalheads have to understand something – you represent a very small part of the market. Market research goes into making these games, and obviously they have found that more teens are into pop-ier music, which is fine by me because I don’t need a game full of old, mediocre metal.

    And believe me, an only-metal Guitar Hero game would flop before it was even made.

    jason - July 10, 2009 at 5:11 am

    they need GH : Pantera , GH : Maiden , GH : SOAD , GH : Joe Satriani , GH : Dimmu Borgir , GH : SoilWork…….The list goes on!!!!

    mattso - July 10, 2009 at 4:47 pm

    elton john? stevie wonder? that really dosnt fit in with guitar hero plus stevie wonder in all piano!

    Joey - July 10, 2009 at 6:32 pm

    if they put a def leppard song i will prefer the first ones because after pyromania them songs have a little portion of pop
    but def leppard stills rock too fkcng hard
    i will prefer billy’s got a gun,high ‘n’ dry,me and my wine or wasted

    Henry - July 11, 2009 at 6:12 am

    jesus christ screw scars on broadway, where the hell is system of a down? also some a7x wouldnt hurt and neither would disturbed.. id LOVE to see marilyn manson too.

    also the song walk by pantera is loong overdue and needs to be put in at least as DLC

    Paga - July 11, 2009 at 8:38 pm

    Not gonna be good, no metallica, no avenged sevenfold, no killswitch engage, no system of a down, fuck that rock band is being patient for #3 not like Guitar hero coming out with all these shitty games!

    METAL HEAD - July 12, 2009 at 10:09 pm

    I am NOT going to buy this GH. The only good band on here is children of bodom! Or Rammstein. Where is all the metal or hardcore music? This is “Guitar” Hero. So make it a little bit more difficult. Put some metallica, SLIPKNOT, Disturbed, As i lay dying, A7X, Lamb of god, dope, Sevendust, HATEBREED!, and Shadows fall. Quit putting all these damn EMO, indie music on these fucking games! The faggot ass emo’s don’t even play guitar hero. they sit at home and cut their wrists or suck their faggot ass boyfriends dick!

    joe - July 13, 2009 at 3:09 pm

    u guys should b exited 4 this theres 3 times more songs then gh4 and there r some pretty good bands in there but i am mad that there isnt acdc or guns n roses those r the best bands to play gh on but im going to buy it cuz im upsesses wit it and this is going to n awsome cuz theres so many songs

    Connor - July 13, 2009 at 5:16 pm

    hmm, SOAD are a good band but the two songs of their’s i’ve played on guitar hero (BYOB and toxicity) wern’t all that fun to play so i dont think a specific game for them would work very well. Maybe that’s just me though

    your mom - July 13, 2009 at 5:57 pm

    sweet.
    still waiting for some Billy Talent and Protest the Hero though.

    Eddie - July 14, 2009 at 12:37 pm

    there are a couple good songs but not many there is not enough metal at all

    Sam - July 14, 2009 at 5:33 pm

    This setlist sucks horribly. So do some of you commentors[Ray(#78-81), mitch(#75)]
    What do you gay pricks listen to? Pop? Shit? Your parents orgasms as they are having sex while you still live with your parents? Metal rocks. GH:Metallica just came out. I beat it. It pwned your gay-ass bands. They did leave out plenty of Metallica to use in other GH games. They should have A7X, Disturbed, Metallica, Muse, Linkin Park, AC/DC, (screw the foo fighters), and Finntroll! So many good bands, none of them are used. Muse had better play Supermassive Black Hole in this.

    METAL HEAD - July 14, 2009 at 7:11 pm

    I think i’m just gonna stick with rock band. There is more music to download and the gameplay is better. If GH had the downloads that rock band has it might be a better choice.

    gaurdian - July 14, 2009 at 8:46 pm

    come on no avenged sevenfold, slipknot, bullet for my valentine, or arch enemy. and i thin here should be more death metal in gh

    jay - July 14, 2009 at 11:27 pm

    so cool that 3 doors down will be on new hero they desere it .

    mug - July 15, 2009 at 4:25 am

    well at least megadeth is on there, basically the same band of metallica.

    mitch - July 15, 2009 at 11:51 am

    no paramore!? screw you gh, im gonna go play rockband

    nick - July 15, 2009 at 10:55 pm

    HOLY CRAP Children Of Boddom will be in there!!!! im so geting his game when it comes out XD

    June - July 17, 2009 at 1:00 am

    this one kinda sucks. i mean they should put harder to play songs on guitar hero start making it with death metal. its all to easy i get bored playing on expert but there are some really good bands on here like iron maiden. my favorite one they made so far was gh,metallica.Hey what about Ugly Kid joe or Faith no more or how about cradle of filth.

    FrEsH PhiLLy KiD - July 18, 2009 at 12:42 am

    YeSsS….Scars on Broadway is on here…..der a gr8 band…they kinda sound like soad….WOOOOO!!!!

    Guns man - July 18, 2009 at 1:01 pm

    NO GUNS N’ ROSES?! I am shocked… NO LED ZEPPELIN?! Now this is getting ridiculous and you want to put some tenacious d on there for some humour. But no guns n’ roses? By rights they should have their own game :P

    IHART - July 18, 2009 at 8:27 pm

    stop complaining… listen crybabies the reason they dont good bands like AC/DC & Zeppelin are because some of them wont sign over the rights to any of thier songs. I really doubt there will ever be a Led Zeppelin song on any guitar hero . Lots of bands don’t like to put there stuff on there unless it’s a mastertrack beacause if you remember how much they changed ‘Devil Went Down to Georgia’. Not all bands want that… and look at My Curse on GH3. It’s moer complicated then how you guys are looking at it.

    IHART - July 18, 2009 at 8:31 pm

    Also AC/DC & The Beatles already already signed most of their rights to rock band

    Ian - July 18, 2009 at 8:36 pm

    wow you guys say the setlist sucks u name gay DEATH crap.. all they need is seether n some more hendrix!

    Andrew - July 19, 2009 at 3:35 pm

    I don’t really care what else they put up on this game, I’m buying it for whatever Rush song they decided to include. Really though, after GH5, Activision should quit marketing Guitar Hero games and start coming out with DLC. I mean, GH3, GHWT and now GH5 are going to have DLC. Harmonix and Rock Band are making a crapload of money, and they aren’t marketing a new game every 6 months. Learn a lesson from a formula that works, Activision, and start focusing in on improving one game instead of adding a bunch of bells and whistles and hoping that next time it’ll sell well.

    dave - July 19, 2009 at 10:42 pm

    WOW some of the worst comments i’ve ever read!
    Please stfu! If you don’t like the setlist or your favourite band isn’t in the game don’t complain about it, dont buy the game or make your own music game if you’re so clever and think Activision sucks because your favourite song isnt in the game! Dumbf**ks!
    and BTW:
    Metallica… got their own game.
    Led Zeppelin… dont want their songs in any gh/rb game!
    Van Halen… got their own game
    A7x… RB got 3 songs!
    ACDC… own game -.-
    Jimi Hendrix… GHWT
    and so on…

    dave - July 19, 2009 at 10:53 pm

    and yeah some of you fags only know bands like dope or shadows fall because of gh/rb
    sad…

    Blahh - July 20, 2009 at 12:01 am

    GH:DEATHCORE or GH:HEAVY METAL
    just saying it’d be fun.

    Ashton890 - July 20, 2009 at 3:27 pm

    The problem with adding new instruments to guitar hero is that now they have to find songs that have fun part for allllll the instruments. there is tons of great songs out there with awesome guitar or drumming but there is very little vocals, drums and bass, and vice versa .

    Tyler - July 21, 2009 at 3:07 am

    damn they need to come out with a fucking death metal guitar hero with break downs and shit….slipkont and SOAD and distrbed and all that horse shit it BUTT Metal not metal…..but i also like the classics so ya

    Shay - July 21, 2009 at 11:41 am

    this is better than world tour, thats for sure. that shit sucked monkey balls. hopefully guitar hero wont keep going down the drain. i mean..come on, Weezer? this is just really starting to piss me off. How hard can it be to put REAL music on a game that thousands of people are clearly giving great recommendations to? i dont understand.

    Shay - July 21, 2009 at 11:44 am

    and for all u dumbfucks who think people cant express their negative opinions on the game here, get real because thats what the damn comment box is here for. everybody isnt gonna be happy-go-lucky about it. Deal.

    Schabe - July 21, 2009 at 7:52 pm

    What people have to understand is that Guitar Hero isnt what it was anymore. When the original game came out it was aimed at rock fans wanting to replicate the guitar experience on a console, and so it continued building through 2 and 3. Thing is, to compete in a market where Rock Band was gaining through use of multiple instruments, Guitar Hero had to change. So people moaning about the lack of deathcore tracks may want to remember the fact these songs have to be played on a plastic drum kit and sung using a singstar-esque microphone and software, it’s on the most part unfeasible.

    To sum up, GH is mainstream now, everyone knows what it is, and it’s target audience isn’t just rock fans anymore, it wants to cater for everyone, from children to women and also not upset the original fans (hence tracks from megadeth and The Sword for instance still being on there). I admit, as a metal fan and a GH fan right from the start, it is a little upsetting not being tested like we were in 3, but you have to respect that sales matter more to Activision than a few people whinging on a forum.

    Ps. If you want a great setlist with drum and microphone support, pick up GH: Greatest Hits, it has the majority of the best tracks all collected on one disc. It’s pretty awesome not having to mess about swapping discs and having drum support.

    EJ1 - July 23, 2009 at 3:57 pm

    god im tired of this garbage music. so boring. i swear im not buyin a gh game until theres disturbed and lots of it. and no metallica isnt the same thing.

    gggg - July 25, 2009 at 1:16 pm

    RAMMSTEIN YES YES YES

    Jamie - July 26, 2009 at 12:21 pm

    hmm, fail list me thinks, i know what Schabe means but i would have thought guitar hero should focus on the original fans that made it what it is today rather than changing the genres completely, world tour sucked, this game looks good, artists don’t really look to good, but i will most probably still buy it, if not i shall wait to a guitar hero with METAL :)

    chase - July 26, 2009 at 1:44 pm

    ppl say to much pop…there isnt much in it…more classic rock and rock…needs more metal tho…im happy bout COB and megadeth tho

    ahmed - July 27, 2009 at 10:13 pm

    NO FOO FIGHTERS ?

    Geaslayer - July 30, 2009 at 1:26 am

    You guys really need more hard rock and metal especially Avenged Sevenfold Disturbed and AcDc

    Mickey Mouse - July 30, 2009 at 2:23 am

    Seriously…. no foo fighters, or metallica…… what the hell?! This is their worst setlist

    KH:Pricell - July 30, 2009 at 5:34 pm

    WTF? No paramore? i kinda got used to the bands songs on guitar hero and rock band.And now that i think about it… i know the next big thing…. GUITAR HERO 6-
    DRAGONFORCE

    KH:Pricell - July 30, 2009 at 5:35 pm

    OH YEAH, AND THE SETLIST IS OK TOO. needs byob again though. and some trhee doors down……and three days grace.

    KH:Pricell - July 30, 2009 at 5:36 pm

    my bad i meant system of a down again.

    Mark - July 31, 2009 at 4:59 am

    NICE !
    The Killers, Muse, White Stripes, Coldplay and Weezer in 1 game !

    megashadow13 - August 1, 2009 at 6:41 pm

    hmm its an ok setlist, actually kinda good… but…
    IT NEEDS MOAR METAL!! >:( A7X!!! BAT COUNTRY god dammit.. i dont know! theres plenty of metal bands and more awesome rock bands to choose from!! >:(

    this is GUITAR hero god dammit… its cool with the drums and everythin else… but how about some more challenging guitar songs??

    and to that ray guy and all of you who said ‘fuck metal’ i say, STFU and take metal up your ass! you bunch of pathetic excuses for wussies…

    and p.s. i DO hear every type of rock, EVEN indie, but you just cant diss metal..

    I’m with metal head on this one I think their should be more metal and less emo music because if you actually took the time to listen to one of disturbed or slipknot songs etc etc you’ll see that they do produce good music and it doesn’t make anyone want to cut them self I think it makes them do the opposite. Plus it would be awsome to play metal songs because their so freakin tricky and fun to play and you can just get into the music and the game more. Think About it.

    Greg - August 3, 2009 at 3:46 pm

    I think it looks like a good setlist. But They’ve been saying they’d put Eve 6 on and I dont see any. Oh well. I’ll buy this game for sure

    Greg - August 3, 2009 at 3:50 pm

    and they should have some sick puppies

    Anthony - August 3, 2009 at 9:08 pm

    seriously! i want to see some SOAD! Sugar should be in this game! it’s my fave SOAD song and I mastered it on real guitar in 30 minutes! :) I did enjoy guitar hero Metallica, and i can see why they didnt put it in there (bcause their own game was released) but, honestly, I’d luv to see ride the lightning, harvester of sorrow, st. anger, ,,,and justice for all, and blackened in a future game such as band hero. and and I’m afraid to ask, why the hell is there gonna be a friggin DJ hero. like rap hasnt taken over the world ENOUGH?! people these days and their tastes in music

    Gen - August 6, 2009 at 1:52 am

    Wow. Most of the people buying guitar hero games are metal fans? I’m working at gamestop and I can assure you that there’s definately an all-around fanbase for this game. Guitar Hero’s not a guitar game anymore; it’s a band game! Most of people absolutely hate those metal songs when they’re band-playing.. so I guess that setlist’s there to please every ”band-member”. Plus they’ve got an Arctic Monkeys song! <3

    Anyways, stop complaining that there’s no metallica! They’ve just had their own guitar hero, and some of their other songs are featured in rock band! And.. hummm… I don’t see that much of emo songs?! There’s like, 2 ”emo” bands?! But I agree that there’s a lot of indie… but there’s never been that much indie in any guitar hero game. And, what’s with all that ”There’s no AC DC songs” whining? I don’t think they’ll sell their songs to Guitar Hero because they already have their very own rock band. Unless you’re on Wii… just get the damn game.

    I don’t think it’s that bad. It’s even alright… but it doesn’t look like a Guitar Hero setlist… It’s more like Rock Band Downloadable Content stuff. Rock Band’s better than Guitar Hero anyways.

    to all u idiots sayin s***t about soad, go F urselves with a donkeys hind legs or somet

    Karine Polgar - August 7, 2009 at 12:43 am

    The only artist that truely matters is Bon Jovi….WOOOOAAAAAHHHH WERE HALF WAY THERE WOOOOOAAAHHH LIVIN ON A PRAYER!!!

    Luis - August 7, 2009 at 3:08 pm

    thy should really just cut the bullshitty songs and put in what people actually want and that is rock/metal nobody wants to play a crappyass song frm wheezer since it s not even challenging or fun to play…………..they have to dedicate a guitar hero specificall to rock and metal i dont know name it metal reolution or metal meltdown just something catcy and something trhat will actually sell not be left at crappy ass walmart sitting on the shelves for a whole year

    Aerofan12 - August 7, 2009 at 10:43 pm

    Com on for all i care you can throw out all of the crap bands of today like three days grace, subline, wheezer, 3 doors down and all of these other bands no one has never heard of. Put more of the classic 60’s, 70’s, 80’s and 90’s bands in while they are still alive and can have thier fame on guitar hero. They did put some bands on that they seem to always pass over like dire straits, Grand funk railroad and david bowie! Finally! When did Johnny Cash and Stevie Wonder become rock or metal? Guitar Hero is going down the tubes. Can they ever put the only 2000’s band that is good on the game, Green Day! Last, Millions of people can back me up on this. The classic rock bands are will always be the masters of the real ROCK. Get rid of the Modern thing you dorks call “rock”!!!

    Taylor Clarke - August 7, 2009 at 11:10 pm

    I have to agree, this setlist is pretty, actually reallly crappy. I don’t like half the stuff. Sublime, APC and Muse caught my interest a little bit. But I mean come on! They just ruined GH when they added vocals and singing. GH 1, 2, 3, 80’s and Metallica were their best. World Tour seemed cool but the only songs I actually enjoyed were the Tool songs and Scream Aim Fire and SOAD, other then that it was all just this punk, pop crap. They need to have more hard rock like Slipknot, Disturbed, Incubus, All That Remains, Atreyu, NIN, Avenged Sevenfold and some of Coheed and Cambria’s good songs like Feathers, A Favor House Atlantic, No World For Tomorrow, and Justice in Murder. I need some songs that will actually give me a challenge, none of this note repeating crap that all this punk stuff they have now have. I liked GH when I actually enjoyed playing almost every song. Now I see the setlist and I just get mad at how much GH is getting ruined. This one is going to be a very big disappointment cuz most people I know buy the game for two reasons. One actual GOOD songs and two a challenge. As far as I can see this one is going to be as easy to beat as World Tour was.

    Taylor Clarke - August 7, 2009 at 11:49 pm

    I also think that some people on here should really think before they comment, cuz some of the stuff your saying is down right annoying and stupid. Most the people that are complaining are hard rock/metal fans, so to all of you saying that a GH with only metal and hard rock songs would fail. If you haven’t notice, most the people complaining about this setlist are hard/metal fans that want a GH with only metal and hard rock on it. So I think a GH like that would be a big success, cuz not only would it get all the us hard rock/metal fans buying it but it would also get all the people would a challenge, so I think they should really consider making a GH: metal/hard rock edition, that would be kick ass!

    BlackBury - August 8, 2009 at 7:53 am

    Wow “supa kool guy” just because you only
    know TWO! System of a Down songs like B.Y.O.B
    and Chop Suey doesn’t mean tht all of their
    other music sucks…. Just because you don’t like
    any of their music outside of guitar hero 4 and
    Rock Band 2 does not mean their music is bad
    you stupid douche bag

    bobdonald3 - August 9, 2009 at 5:54 pm

    What about some Queensryche. Then guitar riffs on their music are just awesome!!!!
    “JetCity Woman” or “I Don’t Belive In Love” or a dozen of there other hits, I mean come on………………..

    Danny - August 10, 2009 at 4:33 am

    Soad sucks balls but yes more metal lamb of god slayer megadeth and black sabbath pop sucks so bad

    Danny - August 12, 2009 at 4:04 am

    Also by slayer should be next that would be a fun as game but no VAN HALEN I only like 3 songs from them come on why? They need to listen to the fans for the next guitar hero game next month :)

    Adam C - August 12, 2009 at 9:29 am

    Guitar Hero is acting like MTV, I thought “Guitar” Hero was suppose to be about shredding solo’s? I am glad to see they finally put Darkest Hour on a song, and thank god no Faggotforce is on it either.

    Aerofan12 - August 12, 2009 at 3:28 pm

    These bands suck! I’m sure i will NOT buy this one. Fifty bucks or more for this? I rather just keep that money for my next guitar or a mixer. I bet the makers of guitar hero are just normal fans of the bands. I bet they aren’t even in a band or can play a Rock instrument. They are just “wanna bes”. I’m sick of stupid people who think they know rock. Please comment if you argee.

    Greg - August 14, 2009 at 2:50 am

    it’s setlists like these that made me switch over to rock band…it has waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better songs (including most of the ones people are complaining about not being in guitar hero) and the overall gameplay is just better. i hate the guitar though, i still have to use my guitar hero one. but seriously people, you dont have to put up with this, just make the switch to rock band and actually enjoy the songs you’re playing.

    Bruno - August 15, 2009 at 1:05 am

    No Foo Fighters? No Metallica? No Aerosmith? this game will really suck ya know? no sence at all, what made GH3 so good? the SETLIST and this game’s suck. any idiot whould have done something better

    John - August 17, 2009 at 9:43 pm

    am i the only one looking forward to this game? its got lots of good songs on. and no im not an emo. they have to cater for lots of different genres, and all you metal heads, youve got gh: metallica to play. i actually like the setlist. pity long road to ruin isnt on though.. may have to buy rockband and download it :/

    ps metal heads, not everyone is as good at gh as you, so players can now have fun playing EASIER songs instead of breaking their hands at something like “i wasted my life and now im going to jump off a cliff.. ROOOOAAARR” which would be F*****G HARD TO SING. end rant.

    joey m - August 18, 2009 at 9:06 pm

    This setlist is kinda a little screwed up. I mean come on you can put Scars on broadway in but you cant put in System of a down or even Serj Tankian? There also isnt disturbed…they should be more metal and heavy metal…only old people listen to this classic stuff…the younger generations listen to pretty much either rap and hip hop or metal and hard rock. hopefully the next game will be heavier.

    Little Joe - August 19, 2009 at 1:29 pm

    Does anybody know whether you can use the guitars and drums from World Tour for Guitar hero 5?

    Poopy monkeyface - August 19, 2009 at 5:59 pm

    This game sucks big hairy juicy boobish tittielicious monkey hair meat motherfucking lint bawls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    alec K - August 19, 2009 at 9:14 pm

    WTF we need some good shit!!! rock band 1 has better trax then this pile of horseshit (exept gorillaz and nirvana)PUT IN cheap trick bloc party MINDLESS SELF INDULGENCE!!!! boston and foo fighterz the creators must have been on crack putting the songs in.

    justin - August 20, 2009 at 7:44 pm

    wow this sucks ever since gh 3 the setlists have been just going downhill, this one is the worst yet

    dushawn mandik - August 21, 2009 at 7:32 am

    WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!!!!! everyone needs to stop being so fuckin retarded about genre exclusive guitar heros. How about a guitar hero with a good balance of good songs from different genre’s granted I love metal but there is some shit that is actually good besides that. This is a horrible guitar hero mainly because it was made for 8 year olds who fail on beginner and old fuckers that are trying to be cool that can’t get the game started up in the first place cause they don’t know how to turn the fuckin system on (and if they do they have a stroke before the first loading screen pops up). Even though there are some great bands on here (Smashing Pumpkins, Megadeath, Iron Maiden, Children of Bodom, Sublime, The Crue, Rush, Queens of the Stoneage, Rammstein, and Johnny Cash) what happened to the guitar heros that had songs that people who actually could play the game enjoyed. Seriously, ever since Neversoft stepped in (excluding Gh3) all of the guitar heros have been shit. Theres a reason why everyone is still asking for Metallica and shit like that. Its because no one wants this band exclusive bullshit knock-offs that they sell every six months. Its a waste of money to fuckin get a game with one band on it. That goes for Rockband Beatles too. Why can’t they have some good shit like Pink Floyd, All That Remains, more/better Black Sabbath, more Tool (Jambi would be great), better Social Distortion not this Story of My Life shit, Slipknot, Dream Theater (preferably Honor Thy Father), Pearl Jam (Black would be nice), better Rise Against (like State of the Union), some Bob Marely the list goes on and on. At least have stuff that isn’t just chords and chords over and over. I learned how to play all the songs on world tour on real guitar before I learned how to play all of them on expert (they’re that easy) and add on the fact I’ve been playing Guitar Hero on expert before I even picked up a guitar for the first time. We all know that Children of Bodom and Rammstein are both going to have the two most absolute hardest songs in the game hands down. I mean I’d be fine if there was indie rock on it but not all indie rock. And for the record System of a Down has had way more then one or two good songs (Toxicity, Cigaro, Aerials, BYOB, Chop Suey, and Mesmorize are all great songs). Without a doubt this is even worse then World Tour at least World Tour had some variety/difficulty to it. This one will probly take me a day or less to be able to beat everything on every instrument. Thats all I have to say about the game.

    dushawn mandik - August 21, 2009 at 7:40 am

    p.s. If you like this game your an old emo faggot who slits there wrists while they listen to Bob Dylan shoving a dildo up his ass.

    dushawn mandik - August 21, 2009 at 7:42 am

    P.s.s. THIS IS BULLSHIT I HAVE TO PLAY ROCKBAND 2 FOR ANOTHER YEAR BEFORE ANYTHING HOPEFULLY GOOD COMES OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    TK - August 22, 2009 at 7:51 pm

    I would love for some Slipknot to be on GH5 like Pyschosocial, Left Behind & Duality how good would that be! and some Metallica just to mix it up a bit like Battery & Enter sandman unless u can upload those songs to GH5? tbh there shud be alot more heavy metal bands like Killswitch or Slipknot :/

    yo - August 23, 2009 at 10:29 am

    put paper wings-rise against and shinbone alley/hard to exist-spin doctors and ill be happy

    dom - August 27, 2009 at 8:15 am

    just to say blocparty were in gh3 with helicopter

    Mike J. - August 28, 2009 at 1:56 pm

    Ya… i think more Michael Jackson would be great. and they should make a pad you put on the floor like DDR that you can dance while you sing and grab your crotch as you hit the high notes. That would be great! Live on Michael!! we know you are not dead!

    LIL FAV - September 1, 2009 at 1:46 pm

    Why isnt there any Faber Drive or The Veer Union !?!?!?!?!?!? maybe their not big enough ?? but still thats pretty gay …

    maggie - September 11, 2009 at 8:31 pm

    am i the only person around here to thinks this is the best setlist ever? it’s about time guitar hero gives credit to the little bands who have heavenly guitar riffs. i’m looking forward to this game more than the others.

    Alex R - September 21, 2009 at 3:55 pm

    Too much indie crap on this setlist. If I were to get this game it would only be for CoB, Muse and Gorrilaz. 3 songs just isn’t worth it, so I won’t be getting this or any other future game that lacks the proper dose of metal that the original fans (the people that made GH famous) need! I don’t really feel like buying another drum set, guitar and game just to play songs that are on Rock Band either. As if one drum set doesn’t take up enough room anyway!
    Needs more of this:
    Lamb Of God, Machine Head, Slayer, Chimaira, SOAD, Winds Of Plague, Disturbed, All Shall Perish, Gojira, Dragonforce, Trivium, Dimmu Borgir, Tenacious D and Mors Principium, you know…bands with more than an ounce of skill between them. Death metal is one of the hardest genres of music to play on both drums and guitar, so why are Activion ignoring it?! GH3 was made famous by how hard the songs were, like Through The Fire And Flames. I’m dissapointed that Dragonforce have been forgotten since they practically made GH3 what it was.
    In my opinion, GH:Metallica was good except for one or two songs which were repetitive as hell (both weren’t metal songs, SURPRISE!). Soft rock, pop and indie are all obsolete when it comes to guitar playing because it’s just not fucking fun, it’s all the same chords the entire song which gets old very fast.

    Fuck I’d buy two copies of a GH game that had all the bands I mentioned above. They should bring one out called GH:Ultimate Gamer Edition or Metal Uncensored WITHOUT EDITING OUT THE SWEARING! That’s like editing fucking Shakespeare ffs. All game developers want these days is the maximum amount of turnover, so they aim all the content at the mainstream population. I mean, just look at the Wii’s game list, all kid’s games, it forces the parents to buy it. It feels like gaming is losing its edge, it’s not for teenage boys anymore, sadly.
