Why not Stairway to Heaven? Did you try to get it?

How could we not consider "Stairway"? It is one of the most recognizable songs with one of the greatest guitar solos of all time. But liscensing music isn't as simple as you think. We work very closely with lots of records labels and artists to make an awesome soundtrack, but there are always some songs that you dont get in. Who knows, maybe we'll see "Stairway" sometime in the future.

Oh who gives 2 shits

He's probably just saying that to not piss off people who would say that neversoft is gay if they didn't try to get stairway. They don't want to piss off their douchebag demographic.

meh

and i give two cents, tony.

Moved to the Guitar Hero forum. Because it's more appropriate there.

Harmonix says that they've been trying to get Zep for years, and they think they've worn 'em down.

But knowing the new Harmonix, that's a bad thing.

No, I think that's a good thing.

Guitar Hero can have Stairway, and Rock Band can have something good.

The new Harmonix would get Staorway. >.>

The new Harmonix DID get ES and DOA.

stairway doesnt have a bass. that means it cant be in rock band. if rock band gets zep itll proboly be rock and roll or black dog.

And WGFA has giant breaks in all instruments and it isn't that fun.

But they got it.

Die, lanky yankee fodder

You guys ACTUALLY care if they use stairway in GH4?

Are you all secretly MEGA led zeppelin fans who ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE your favorite song by them instead? Sheesh....

People shouldn't care this much unless they are some kind of insane super fan who loves some other song 500000000X more

Tony, you know what "fun" is, right?

Well, Stairway wouldn't be "fun".

And what's worse is that it's be the final encore.

The final song's supposed to be fun, epic, and difficult. Stairway is none of those.

I have accepted that not every song in a guitar hero game is/will be fun

Stairway would just be another one of those "Not fun" songs then (if it actually wasnt fun)

I really don't care if they pick some "crappy cliche song" for GH4 cause theres no avoiding songs you won't like

I am a huge Zeppelin fan, they're my favorite band. And Stairway IS my favorite song. But I don't want it. Why? Because, just like Jake said, it wouldn't be fun. Led Zeppelin has better songs FOR GUITAR HERO, Stairway would just be a waste...

Think of what Custard Pie would be like!

All I'm saying is that I personally , don't care

Or You Shook Me!

Oh yeah well while were on the subject

If led zeppelin agreed to be in RB or GHIV and they let me choose the song I would choose "Over the hills and far away"

yeah that wouldnt be bad i would choose heartbreaker.

but STAIRWAY?
