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.
(Thanks, twead87)

Just stop releasing new versions of the same fucking game, and ramp up the DLC.
I like the new releases as the new cheevos give me some additional incentive to keep playing my old content when guests aren't around.
Once you whip through the Endless Setlist on expert, there isn't just a ton left, challenge wise, in Rock Band.
Shit, I'm buying that game on launch day now.
Vampire
Weekend TV
On The Radio
And there's more like that...
TV on The Radio??????
THE KILLERS?????????
I can't wait.
Oh and since DV2FOX pointed out Jimmy Eat World are in it, Just Tonight plzkthx.
If it had Goliath then this would be an instant buy.
I'm the exact same way. I don't get how people keep playing them non-stop.
I like about two of these bands. Mars Volta in there would make it an instant buy for me. I mean, they put Volta in World Tour but cut the song down from 12 minutes to 4 and removed the John Frusciante solo's.
Children of Bodom though? They're going in the exact direction I said NOT TO GO!
So yeah, probably not getting this.
And yeah, as another person already said, though Rock Band is far superior in my eyes, I still like the looks of this list, and will definitely get this.
3 metal bands? way to push away your audience
