Guitar Hero: On Tour track list released (oh and it's terrible)

LOL @ Activision. Seriously, in just a matter of months they managed to completely whore out and ruin the Guitar Hero brand. It all started with taking GH3 to Neversoft, who never met a Tony Hawk game they couldn't pump out in a matter of months. It subsequently sucked, even though it sold by the boatload. Then we get the announcement that there's an entire game wrapped about Aerosmith.... wow, awesome. Then this in-browser widget that's so broken you have to wonder what they're thought process was in making it. And finally, and possibly the most ridiculous, is the DS version of Guitar Hero, Guitar Hero: On Tour... complete with a fucking ridiculous looking accessory.

Well... they released a track list to the abomination that is Guitar Hero: On Tour.... and it's downright laughable. I remember reading a few months ago in Game Informer how the guys at Neversoft played a prank on their CEO by telling him that Activision was requiring them to include an Avril Lavigne song in GH3, and how he flipped out cause it wasn't "Rock N Roll." Umm, you've got Maroon 5, Daughtry and Smash Mouth in there. Guess it's easier to overlook when you're cashing checks.

So this is apparently the full track list as well. Seem short? It should, the game was originally supposed to have 25 tracks.

  • Do What You Want - OK Go

  • All The Small Things - Blink 182

  • Spiderwebs - No Doubt

  • Are You Gona Be My Girl - Jet

  • We're Not Gonna Take It - Twisted Sister

  • All Star - Smash Mouth

  • Breed - Nirvana

  • Jessie's Girl - Rick Springfield

  • Hit Me With Your Best Shot - Pat Benatar

  • This Love - Maroon 5

  • Heaven - Los Lonely Boys

  • Helicopter - Bloc Party

  • China Grove - The Doobie Brothers

  • Rock and Roll All Nite - KISS (cover by Line 6)

  • What I Want - Daughtry

Of course at this point any song you see in a Guitar Hero game that interests you would be better in Rock Band smilies/smiley.gif

If this is what happened to Guitar Hero, I can't wait until EA and MTV run Rock Band into the ground. If Activision is greedy, the combined forces of EA and MTV must be otherworldly.

I was initially leery about the EA/MTV combination leaning on Harmonix, but after talking to some Harmonix people at E3 last year, they seem completely happy with the arrangement.

I think the problem with Guitar Hero lies with Activision/Neversoft/Red Octane. Red Octane was purely a controller company and Neversoft can't make anything that doesn't have a skateboard in it.

The talent at Harmonix will (for the time being) rise above any negative pressure from EA/MTV. Besides, as far as Rock Band goes... EA is just the publisher, nothing more. They have no creative control what so ever.

I know this is probably going to be terrible, but I'll no doubt pick it up anyway. Portable guitar hero is just so tempting.

It seems that most of these songs would be better suited in SingStar. In fact, I wouldn't mind having most of them in Rock Band, if only because my wife would enjoy singing them.

Sure, Smash Mouth, Blink 182, and Maroon 5 are awful and Daughtry is the equivalent of auditory rape...but I'll be damned if I haven't been begging for Jessie's Girls to be in Rock Band since it was announced.

Why does that song have to be so catchy, Rick Springfield?

There's like, two-and-a-half songs on that list that could actually be considered 'rock 'n' roll, and one of them is a freaking cover anyways.

DO NOT WANT!
