Guitar Hero III
I’m heading out in a few minutes to Niall’s to play some GH3 (I’ve spent the past couple days warming up with the demo on XBox Live), and I’m very excited. However, I’m wondering why they’re using some of the same songs on both GH3 and Rock Band: “When You Were Young” by The Killers and “Cherub Rock” by the Smashing Pumpkins spring to mind.
Rock Band is going to seriously fulfill some teen-aged rock and roll fantasies, I can tell you that much. Although, the thought of singing “Say It Ain’t So” by Weezer any place other than my shower is very scary. For everyone else, at least. Are they any songs you wish they had added?
In the meantime, if you’re stuck, check out the Mahalo guide for Guitar Hero III. And yes, in case you were wondering, there will be a show announcement made this week!

A big reason why they have several of the same songs will be the licensing agreements. Once say, EA/MTV, agrees to a deal for a particular song Activision can pretty much just say “Hey we’ll take that one as well” and get the same deal without all that tedious negotiating – I’m oversimplifying here, but you get the gist.
Songs I wish they had? Like a million! Hopefully Harmonix will not go the GH2 on 360 route and make good on their promise to have copious DLC for Rock Band to flesh it out. Rock Band really needs some Interpol – their lyrics are just too hilarious to ignore, and they have really catchy drum, bass and guitar parts that would be fun.

but it does sound different than the original. I have to agree with Peter the Dane, what happened to the comment function on the FSJ story? 
I was wondering the same thing…I have no clue though. I want to try Rock Band to see if it holds up, they have more recent songs than any GH game combine! Like everyone else, there are so many more songs I would like to see. O well, it all makes up for it when i get my hands on that guitar. Watch out for my alter ego, you have been warned!… Can’t wait for the announcement V!
