Already revealed in name by the ESRB not long ago, Nintendo Power (February 2009) has the first details on Activision's upcoming Nintendo DS title, Guitar Hero Modern Hits.
Beyond dropping the the "On Tour" from the name, Modern Hits looks like it's revamping its single-player career experience as well. Ditching the straight forward way of working down a list, it's now a bit more open. You'll choose to play shows in different venues, gaining fans. As your popularity grows, you'll get more money, more fans and with them, "Fan Requests." The requests vary, but seem to hinge on avoiding bomb notes or playing songs at hyperspeed.
As far as the set list is concerned, you've got the modern hits that you'd expect from a game called Modern Hits. The ESRB listing already inadvertently revealed songs by Franz Ferdinand, Finger Eleven, and Sum 41. The brilliance of those bands will be matched by tracks from Evanescence ("Sweet Sacrifice") and Coldplay ("Violet Hill"). Don't like the "modern hits," you'll be able to share songs wirelessly between the two previous DS games.
Some venues and the list of songs revealed so far can be found after the jump.

And um, Guitar whatever + DS is retarded, so no one cares.
Also, old Finger Eleven is awesome. !Tip++
...Excellent choice for a Bravery song though. Can we get that one in Rock Band as well?
Weezer would have if it were from Blue or Pinkerton. Oh Weezer, how you have fallen.
Except The Fallen, that song is pretty good. The Tenacious D song is meh.
Plus, since my hands are too big, GH on DS just blows for me, though my GF loves it :-)
Your whoring out of the Guitar Hero franchise has made me a rabid Rockband fan. Congratulations.
Ever.

Props for Coldplay though.
you wont find the treasure untill you try different things
