I wonder if the sales figures include all the review copies they send out.

And now they have moved the franchise to Vicarious Visions, the company who shipped the Wii version of GH3 with MONO audio.....!

Re: Guitar Hero: The One and Only Thread

Just noticed on the dashboard there's a Linkin Park track pack. Thankfully it's just new stuff. I'd much prefer their music in Rock Band.

Re: Guitar Hero: The One and Only Thread

I saw that. So apparently there was a track pack in the works, just for the wrong game.

There are also a couple other free packs. A Metal Blade pack and a Steve Ouimette pack, IIRC.

Me too - damn, I really was hoping RB would get a Linkin Park track pack but that looks like a longshot now... and I'm really digging the new stuff so that GH Pack looks like a real win to me - too bad I couldn't stand this game.

Re: Guitar Hero: The One and Only Thread

I have to admit I plunked down for Love Song. It's worth $2 to play it a few times even if it is inside GH.

Yeah i saw that and immediately signed up for it and then i re-read the article saying it's only for Xbox360 owners! FUCK YOU MICROSOFT!!!


why no PS3 though? the DJ hero free tracks are for all 3 consoles, yet only the GH songs are for 360...

I mean i'd much prefer if the MCR track pack was in Rock Band instead but i would of definitely get them on GH for free!

Re: Guitar Hero: The One and Only Thread

Sorry. I didn't realize that. The free DJ Hero 2 content was for all consoles and you just had to pick which one. I didn't even notice that this one did not give you that option when you sign up for it.

Axl Rose Sues Activision for $20M for including Slash in 'Guitar Hero'
4:57 PM 11/23/2010 by Matthew Belloni

Axl Rose really doesn't want to be associated with ex-bandmate Slash.

The Guns N' Roses frontman has just filed a $20 million lawsuit against Guitar Hero maker Activision claiming its use of the GNR song "Welcome to the Jungle" violated a deal not to include any imagery of ex-guitarist Saul Hudson (aka Slash) in the popular game.

In an amusing lawsuit filed in Los Angeles Superior Court, Rose and his Black Frog Music claim that Activision Blizzard fraudulently induced Rose into authorizing "Jungle" for use in Guitar Hero III by telling him during negotiations that it wouldn't feature any reference to the former GNR member or his subsequent band, Velvet Revolver.

"[Activision] began spinning a web of lies and deception to conceal its true intentions to not only feature Slash and VR prominently in GH III but also promote the game by emphasizing and reinforcing an association between Slash and Guns N' Roses and the band's song 'Welcome to the Jungle,' " the complaint states.

When Rose found out that a Slash-like chararacter and Velvet Revolver songs would be included in GH II, he says he immediately rescinded the authorization for "Jungle," but Activision allegedly lied and told him the inclusion was just for the purposes of a trade show. Then GH III came out and its box cover featured "an animated depiction of Slash, with his signature black top hat, long dark curly hair, dark sunglasses and nose-piercing," according to the complaint. In short, the former GNR guitarist was all over GH III, enraging Rose.

Rose also claims that the GNR song "Sweet Child O' Mine" was used in an online promotion for GH III despite being licensed only for GH II. He wants $20 million in damages from sales of the popular game.

“This lawsuit is about protecting Guns N’ Roses and 'Welcome to the Jungle' and is about holding Activision accountable for its misuse of these incredibly valuable assets," Rose lawyer Skip Miller says. “The relief we are seeking is disgorgement of profits and compensatory and punitive damages.”

We've reached out to Activision for comment.

Axl Rose vs. Bobby Kotick? Which douchebag do you side with?

Isn't Axl about 3 years late to this party though? GHIII sold roughly 10 gajillion copies, give or take one or two bajillion. Convenient that Axl benefits from [likely] increased GnR album sales until GHIII is no longer on store shelves.

Would you honestly expect any different from him? This is the guy who has been late to every single one of his own concerts for almost two decades now....

Playing "Welcome to the Jungle" only made me think "Why does Axl Rose suck so hard now?"
