Guitar Hero: Metallica is an upcoming rhythm game being developed by Neversoft and distributed by Activision. The game is expected to be released in Europe, North America, and Australia on the PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and Wii in the first quarter of 2009. Guitar Hero: Metallica will be the second game of the Guitar Hero series to focus on the career and songs of one band, similar to the previous Guitar Hero: Aerosmith. The game is based on Guitar Hero World Tour, with support for lead and bass guitar, drums, and vocals.

blaaaah old school tracks would be worth buying it...but it would get old after awhile so just picking one band in general is lame to me

The band the game names it after isn't the only band on the game.

They have other bands as well. I think The Beatles game is going to have a bit of SGT. Peppers band, too.

So... I'm not sure I'm reading this correctly, but am I to assume that (one or) both of you are under the impression that The Beatles and Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band were two separate bands?

From what I hear, they are going to have a lot of they're orchestra stuff. I know they song songs together, but I am sure they had their own stuff(Not that I know any)

No, I caught that when I read IM's post the first time, just didn't see the need to call him out over it or whatever.

BTW, I love how Lars will throw a shit-fit about his music being downloaded and listened to, but he'll plaster his face all over some video game if they drop the dollars for him.

Sellouts.

great selection of songs.

Its a pretty decent collection of songs, though Blackened not being on there is terrible.

What I'm most excited about is the inclusion of the double bass pedal for the game, which is going to kick the difficulty of the drums to a whole different level. Plus it'll open the door for more metal songs to be accurately represented.

I am glad that the Beatles made the wise choice to go with Rock Band for their exclusive game, its just the better all around game.

I like that they have the originals of a lot of their cover songs. The only glaring omission for me is "The Four Horsemen."

Got it last night. Great stuff, and definitely much more challenging than Aerosmith or GHWT. I'm having a lot of difficulty even on the Hard level.

Went to a friend's house who's favorite band is Metallica and favorite game is GH, so he's been busting a nut over this for a few days. Hate to beat the same drum over and over, but Metallica's old stuff is gold.

I got two black Les Pauls which is a guitar I have always wanted too but they should have released a Hetfield Black Explorer for this game I would have picked that up. That guitar is pretty bad ass though. Viva do you have xbox live?

For anyone who has it on Wii, are you finding it very hard to activate star power? I have to hold the guitar upright for a good 5 seconds before it kicks in and by then I've already blown a few notes.

LOL that is pretty nerdy but you are in the geek forum so its ok here. We all know what your talking about.

On my Les paul its a little to sensitive so I just play the way I play guitar and a little like a bassist with the neck at a 90 degree angle.

Yeah I have that guitar too but I got used to tilting on GH3 and hitting the bridge just feels unnatural and messes up my rhythm. But I guess I'll just have to get used to it.

just hit it when you have a break in notes, or just press down when you strum a note. you must have a funky technique or, and take no offense, are pretty uncoordinated.
