Here's the Wikipedia page, with info taken from the June issue of Game Informer:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guitar_hero_iv

It appears they ripped off RB to even more levels than just instruments

Ha ha! Guess what!

Dickhead: "omg rok band is such rip off of guitar hero 1 da 1 with through fires and the end of time witch i got 100% on"
Gay friends: "omg srsllllllyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy"

But now they'll be like:

Dickhead: "omg guitar hero 2 so rip off of rock bands"
Gay friends: "omg guitar hero 2 is zo awesome hay i got master exploder by tenatos d witch is on it on ma fon"
Dickhead: "omg pley it over and over"

This was inspired by the true story of the pieces of shit who play The Metal over. And over. And over. And over. And over. And over. And over. And over. And over. And over. And over. And over. And over. And over. And over. And over. And over. And over. And over. And over. And over. And over. And over. And over. And over. And over. And over. And over. And over. And over. And over. And over. And over. And over. And over. And over. And over. And over. And over. And over. And over. And over. And over. And over. And over. And over. And over. And over. And over. And over. And over. And over.

And over on the school bus. They haven't played anything else since March.

Im sorry, but this is going to be AWESOME.

Moved to the official GH4 thread now.

Also: Neversoft now has my soul.

I'm sending it to them in a jar.

And here's why:

"We’ve actually got a pretty even split between 80s, 90s, and classic rock. It’s a little harder to find modern stuff but we do have a good amount of emerging bands. We have a handful of songs that are specific to the hardcore guitar players--a few progressive bands like DREAM THEATER. We have to put them in the game..."

Supposed/rumored bands in GH4 from some random forum post. Take with grain of salt.

Quote:

I have a personal source. My classmate at the Chicago Sun sent me her copy of the release. Jamie Nicholes from Activision sent an email to my classmate. Also see my new thread about their instruments. It is not complete but, there will be photos in upcoming Game Informers, but this is going to be the list. I have the press release for next week and here is the list of bands that are going to have songs in GH4. About 35 artists now, but it's only the beginning the perss release states that over 80 artists will likely be included. Posts 107 - 109 are pretty funny on page 11. Bolded artists are confirmed by Wikipedia sources. (I know it doesn't make sense, roll with it.) There are going to be 85 bands with two songs a piece for most of them. Allman Brothers At the Drive-In Billy Idol Bon Jovi Boston Blind Melon blink-182 CCR Coldplay Def Leppard The Doors Dream Theater The Eagles Fleetwood Mac Foreigner Interpol Jane's Addiction Jimi Hendrix Jimmy Eat World Lenny Kravitz Linkin Park Lynyrd Skynyrd Michael Jackson Modest Mouse Muse Nirvana No Doubt Oasis Paramore Steve Miller Smashing Pumpkins Sublime Silversun Pickups The Answer Van Halen We know that Tom Morello and Slash are exclusive to Guitar Hero, so we can assume at least one song from each of these artists. All are master recordings I will scan a picture tommorow at work and post on here as soon as possible. Please see my thread on score hero for more details and sources. (I got a lazy eye reading about Silversun Pickups)

EDIT: The "random forum" is Rock Band. Linky.

finally, some hendrix.

Oddly enough, the thread at Scorehero got locked and he got banned on the Rock Band forums.

A Hendrix master recording?

Doubt it.

Extra Information: A Rumor is circulating that Ted Nugent said he was a boss on Guitar Hero 4 and that Stranglehold was on the game.

Ted is cool! Stranglehold isn't (well, for GH I mean)
They should've put Motor City Madhouse

*cough*ripoff*cough*

Oh, and I think Tony Hawk is playing guitar. This means the only natural progression for the game is Tony Hawk's Guitar Hero Pro Skater.

It's Activision-Blizzard. World of Guitar Hero. MMOGH, Massively Multiplayer Online Guitar Hero. Duh.

Activision Guy - "This is the first time you'll have multiple instruments, drums, mic, bass..."
Interview Lady - "That's called Rock Band, I think"
Activision Guy - ".........We're calling it Guitar Hero World Tour"

AH-HA-HA-AH-HA-

no.

I'm not buying it.

The GH Franchise is dead to me.
