At this point, I think it's obvious that Activision has no real intentions of supporting Guitar Hero III with significant downloadable content. The next obvious step is Guitar Hero IV, which according to rumor (and a drunk, naked Captain Obvious), is already in the works.
While we've heard rumors of an Aerosmith-flavored Guitar Hero, check out this new bit of rumor, snagged from this "Quartermann" section of this month's Electronic Gaming Monthly:
We already know GH 4 is on its way (as well as a game based on the band Aerosmith), but I'm hearing two more Guitar Hero titles are also in the works, bringing GH3's sequel count to four. And one may star a group that rocks in mysterious ways.
This seems to be an obvious reference to Irish mega-group U2, who have sold a few albums since the early-80s. With Slash appearing in Guitar Hero III and most of its marketing, one could guess (and hope, actually) that this fourth sequel to a sequel will be Guns N' Roses-related. Or Slash's Snakepit. Or Earth, Wind, & Fire.

give me GH:Slayer and/or GH:Metallica
They play perfectly, have some of the greatest rock songs recorded and they go all out to make each concert an absolute epic. I can see why people hate Bono, he annoys the hell out of me, but that doesn't change the fact they ar an awesome band with some great songs.
But I think this GH:U2 edition is pathetic, they should release it as DLC. But I suppose they're trying to rinse every last pound/Euro/ dollar out of GH they can.
It would totally suck balls and would be better off on Rock Band.
How about entire Joshua Tree album on Rock Band. Ok well at least "Bullet In The Blue Sky" as DLC!!!
Modern U2 sucks balls. Bono was in the university by my house a while back, i swear i wanted to run up to the stage and scream: YOUR NAME IS FUCKING PAUL! PAUL HEWSON!
you don't want any of this dewey cock. its called cocain. its bad news!
you don't want any of this dewey cock. its called LSD. its bad news!
you don't want any of this dewey cock. its called heroin. its bad news!
have you not realised that bono is A FUCKING POKEMON.
No, i dont want a wussy guitar hero. No
QFT! The DLC for Guitar Hero III has been god-awful compared to what has been put out for Rock Band, and as long as Activision refuses to allow Harmonix to patch their own goddamn game, they can go to hell as far as I’m concerned.
"Well basically, I just copied the plant we have now. Then, I added some fins to lower wind resistance. And this racing stripe here I feel is pretty sharp."
there are only a few bands that i think would make for an awesome guitar hero game. alice in chains, metallica, tool, led zep, megadeth.
But having a game with a song or 2 from all of the above bands (including Slash's Snakepit - which is awesome) should in theory make for a great game
U2? Maybe.
