Coldplay comes to Guitar Hero

GOD DAMMIT.
You beat me to it.

This is fucking stupid. Coldplay would be boring as shit for Guitar Hero. Theyre probably going to add notes to make it more interesting, except itll be really obvious (like many of the other songs, I HATE THEM FOR STRICKEN ON EXPERT) and end up just being annoying.

BTW I hear that Muse and Coldplay are releasing a brand new game together coming out in Fall 2009 called "Grand Theft Radiohead". Har har har.

Surely there were more worthy bands than Coldplay.

Of all the bands that could be in Guitar Hero, they chose Coldplay? That's almost as bad as All-American Rejects in Rock Band. By the way, I love Guitar Hero 3 BECAUSE it is finger-bleedingly difficult. I have a soft spot for hard games *cough* Ninja Gaiden *cough*. But really, where's the AC/DC and Led Zeppelin DLC (for either Rock Band or Guitar Hero)? I would pay for that.

Well, I'd buy it if it were for Rock Band. And they should put up Viva La Vida as well, it's even better than the greatness that is Violet Hill.

Slick, I have to say, Move Along is actually one of the better songs in Rock Band, no joke.

As a Coldplay fan, I could care less whether they appear in one of these games. Outside of handful of songs, they songs just don't fit in rhythm games.

Please do not equate gays with Coldplay, that's fucking insulting.

First Aerosmith says their songs will only be on GH, now Coldplay is on it. If you don't get some more Hendrix in there soon Activision I'm buying Rock Band.

Um...I read the song is going to be in Guitar Hero 4 (Guitar Hero World Tour, or what some people call, Rock Band rip off). You'll be able to sing it and play the drums to the song...just with Guitar Hero's new drum set and mic.

Rock Band fails again? In comparison to how much failure that already exists with GH3? One song doesn't a game make.

Honestly, though, yeah, the song is guitar centric but even on Hard they're going to have to fake the notes for difficulty.

P.S. I gave up getting anything done with expert on GH or RB since I probably spend 1/30th the amount of time gaming in comparison to most people here. I'm happy just mastering them on medium and doing well enough on hard.

haven't even got rock band yet so I'm happy they're coming to GH3, 210 euros (324$ ) is just to much for 1 game :-)

This makes no sense!!!

Probably money though

Good point, Wedge. My apologies.

I quite like Coldplay.

Chris Martin on the other hand, what a fucking Bono-wannabe, friends of the earth, shitcunt.

Everytime he opens his mouth to "educate" the masses I just wanna fill it will a grenade.



...then go fill his wife with my cocksnot.

Mr Sarkar I think we are kindred spirits when it comes to music!

I'm a big Coldplay fan and I agree they don't have a place in Guitar hero. Although they do have some very interesting guitar parts, they aren't finger shredders like the other songs on guitar hero are.

I always wanted to see Shiver on Rock Band.....maybe that might still happen some day....

You're right that it'll most likely be a popular download. That's kind of what I was getting at too, although not very clearly. I like the sort of big hit songs that bands release. There's a reason why they're big hits in the first place. I guess some people consider that to be poser. But they should be releasing those bigger songs because I think they would have a larger appeal.

Songs like Learn to fly and Dani california are good songs but they're not the biggest and thats what I don't understand. At first I thought it was because some songs aren't really suited to guitar hero but then you have things like Exo-Politics by Muse. Its nothing like, say, Thoughts of a Dying Athiest which is just as reptitive on the guitar but more interesting.

So I'm waffling even more but what I'm trying to say is they should aim to release 3 kinds of songs.

-Mainstream songs
-Music nerd songs
-"Hardcore" songs

Hardcore kind of ties in with music nerd songs. What I mean by hardcore is songs that present a challenge. Guitar Hero is a game after all and if you assume that around half of the audience has completed the game on Expert then they've completed some pretty hard songs. Sure you need slower songs but you need something to keep it challenging. You go from playing Raining Blood to (F)lannigans Ball and its a sharp contrast. From my experience there isn't much insanely challenging DLC.

Throw some songs in there with irregular timing! Get some more blues in there! We've only got one Stevie Ray Vaugh song in there, why not some more? Maybe some Danny Gatton. Gimme some Joe Satriani or some Steve Vai. I mean, the game is called Guitar HERO, not Session Guitarist.

@ supernaut:

I've been saying that. Activision released a Journey song already. They're ahead by one point.

I know why they aren't bringing Coldplay to Rock Band.

Because then you'd have to sing Coldplay.

And you know what's the hardest part of singing Coldplay?

Telling your parents that you're gay.
