Rock Band/Guitar Hero Thread

Here's why.

Despite the success of Guitar Hero and Rock Band, you won?t see Led Zeppelin?s iconic tunes pop up in either game any time soon, according to the Wall Street Journal.
The band, specifically Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page, is not comfortable giving gaming companies access to the group?s master recordings ? a necessary step in adding the band to any game.
While it?s depressing that we won?t see "Stairway" in any of our virtual set lists any time soon, I?d definitely prefer no Zeppelin to horrendously covered Zeppelin. Activision and Harmonix?s efforts to gain access to the band?s master tapes at least demonstrate that the companies have finally stopped relying on terrible covers when they?re unable to get the original tune.

I like how they list David Bowie once, then list him again in the entry 'Queen & David Bowie.'

Damn, I wish I could guess which song that might be! :tongue2:

Elton John, Stevie Wonder, and Coldplay all appear. Five bucks says GH5 full band kit comes with a piano or yet to be announced official first party MIDI keyboard to piggyback on the drum kit.

Get an official piano/keyboard periph out there and Activision could make a killing on a Piano Hero: Elton John & Billy Joel companion disc.

A Glam Rock fans dream with Kiss on the mix too. The only icon missing is Alice Cooper.

Do you guys know anything about the ps2/ps3 USB adapter for controllers? I have been looking at getting the original guitar hero. If the compatibility is more of a headache than its worth maybe I'll just break out my PS2 again. But to be honest I have never seen any of these adapters anywhere except for online and I almost wonder if they could screw up my ps3.
