SOMEONE ELSE KNOWS OF THIS BAND!?

You, sir, will be...

Um, not cannonized...but I so COMPLETELY shake your hand.

Personally, I would go with "Northern Comfort" or "Bodom after Midnight", but anything by CoB would be pretty sweet.

I think I left a couple out of my original post:
Still Remains - Recovery (Although, now that I think about it, Still Remains is one of those "band of Christians" metalcore bands, which doesn't bug me, but would probably be a big "no" on actually going into the game. Oh well, we're talking hypotheticals. Also, might just be to justify my ego, since my girlfriend was once in a band with their new guitar player.)
Escape the Fate - There's No Sympathy for The Dead
From First to Last - Ride the Wings of Pestilence (I hesitate to say this, because their new album is SO unbelievably bad, but I have to admit that this song is one of my favorites.)

i submit for your approval: Jabberjaw, by Pain

Prince Charming by Metallica.

Um, sorry for bumping, but I assume it's forgivable if I have something worthwhile to add.

I want to see:

Boston - Peace of Mind
The Beach Boys - 409, I Get Around, or Help Me Rhonda
Chuck Berry - Johnny B. Goode
CCR - Green River, Up Around the Bend, I Heard It Through the Grapevine, or Bad Moon Rising
David Bowie - Suffragette City, Hang On To Yourself, The Man Who Sold the World, or Starman
Elvis Presley - Viva Las Vegas
Jimi Hendrix - Castles Made of Sand
Jimmy Eat World - Get It Faster
Kansas - Dust in the Wind, Fight Fire With Fire, or Point of Know Return
Pink Floyd - Careful With that Axe, Eugene
Queen - Crazy Little Thing Called Love
Rolling Stones - Satisfaction, Start Me Up
Wolfmother - Joker and the Thief

Also, I'd like to see some of the old garage rock standards in the Opening Licks

The Troggs - Wild Thing
The Kingsmen - Louie Louie

Those are famous for being easy to play, and it's be nice to have an "I Love Rock 'n' Roll" type song. Namely, one that's a good introduction to each level of difficulty.

Also, if we can talk about the types of guitarists we'd like to see represented in GH3, I'd like to see a Surf Rocker (possibly as an alternate costume for Clive or Eddie Knox).

Oh goodness yes... Hotel Califonia!

Basically anything a'la the Chaps Brothers. The system is down, or a Trogdor Remix.

I love the GH games. I think constantly about songs suitable for inclusion.

Off hand, some of the songs I'd love to see on GHIII include:

• Neil Young - Down by the river (really idiosyncratic playing)
• The White Stripes - Ball and Biscuit (a blues-y number, would be fun to play)
• Black Sabbath - Paranoid or Hand of Doom (they always include Sabbath, and these are also iconic tracks)
• Manowar - The Gods Made Heavy Metal, or Call To Arms (both about the joy of metal)
• Monster Magnet - Powertrip
• Neil Young - Keep on Rocking (if Down By the River is too obscure)
• Beatles - Helter Skelter (I mean, come on! But it would probably cost a mint)
• Foreigner - Juke Box Hero (get in an 80s song, and its thematically ideal)
• Rollins Band - Shame, Monster, or whatever works
• Misfits - Die, Die My Darling
• Pink Floyd - Animals (I'd like Dogs, but the songs are so long... not sure how to handle that)
• Tool - anything, maybe Prison Sex

Clearly, there are many, many songs yet to make the jump.

How about a Wii port?

Huh?! How about it Activision?! You said every major console would get GHII! There are still freaking line-ups for the Wii two months after launch, with no production shortages! Is that not a major console?! You're already making a wacky peripheral for the other two platforms, it isn't a graphics intensive game, so what's the deal?!

The Animals ~ House of the Rising Sun
Papa Roach ~ Getting away with Murder
Dropkick Murphey's ~ Shipping up to Boston.

Christ this is like the exact opposite of the Guitar Hero forums. Pretty much everyone suggests Norweagen black metal bands who write songs with growling lyrics about burning churches, and if you dare disagree then prepare for verbal abuse.

I saw a kid today, he said he wanted Stairway to Heaven and maybe some Chili Peppers. He was told that he was a fucking dumbass and was asked how he managed to breathe.

Jeez, I don't know why I even go there anymore. Any thread basically degenerates to "DRAGONFORCE FOR GHIII!" "NO YOU FAG DRAGONFARCE BLOWS", etc.
