Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks the 80s has become some sort of sick obsession for me. In its currently revealed form, I can guarantee I won't be purchasing it, but I've spent more time discussing, dissecting and analyzing it over the last two days than I have eating, sleeping, masturbating, or telling the story of the girl I went out with who turned out to be a furry, combined.
The official website for the title went live earlier today, and along with providing a home on the 'net for the upcoming title, it revealed three new tracks from the likes of Accept, Scandal and Oingo Boingo.
As much as I adore the pre-Hollywood work of Danny Elfman, the notable lack of any tracks from The Misfits makes my mascara run. If they want people to see this release as the heir apparent to the Official-Game-of-Drunk-Hipsters-crown held by the previous titles in the series, they're going to have to do better than generic hair bands and mainstream New Wave.

Avoiding the banhammer only requires common sense: spamming, trolling, racism, NSFW stuff, and other forms of sucking will not be tolerated. If anyone is griefing please report abuse. Be good. Don't suck!
Thought not.
Anyways, Guitar Hero 2 hasn't really caught onto punk rock yet? Why the hell not?
over and over again, no fun
They could be smart and include some late eighties early nineties punk into GHIII, it wouldnt be hard to include some NOFX,Operation Ivy,Guttermouth, The hiddy's remake of KOA,The Vandals and so on..It's just all the real early stuff is short,fast and simple.Better suited for Rock Band(fuck I hope)or extra tracks.
It wouldn't hurt to throw some ska in either, quite a few ska bands had very intricate songs that would translate well.Skankin Pickle would be great! Or some Skunks! I could go on forever.
Also DK!
YES, I want to jump around like Hetson.
