Eager to find out what bands will be shipping with Guitar Hero 5? According to NME the headlining bands will include the likes of the Arctic Monkeys, Nirvana, Blur, Gorillaz, Bob Dylan and a crap ton more that are listed after the jump. We already knew some of this before, but if you check out the entire list you may find plenty of bands to get very excited for.
Or not excited at all. DLC has kind of ruined a release list like this? A game launches with bands, but it will have more bands later, and if your favorite band isn't there then it's most likely coming or has already been released in a previous compatable game. So nice to see these bands, but little hard to get uber-excited.
If you are wondering who I'm a little excited for it has got to be Duran Duran.

What if the silken-voiced but incessant narrator from Bastion scored a few gigs working with other, bigger games? Would the simple gameplay exercise of running from one edge of the screen to the other become a grand journey into consciousness? Or would you just try to f*ck with the guy?

Considering the franchise's sliding sales, it wasn't shocking to learn that Activision had disbanded its Guitar Hero business unit and decided to not release a new title this year. The fate of the series hung in the balance, ...
Activision has made a statement concerning the Guitar Hero franchise, seeming to backtrack on the idea that the series had been killed off for good. I guess the publisher realized there's money to be made from a big comeback ...
