When you go to see a band play live, don't bother screaming the names of songs at the performers. You see that little piece of paper taped to the stage? That's the setlist, and that's what they're going to play, so piss off.
That's kind of what's going on with Activision's Guitar Hero: Smash Hits, the upcoming "greatest hits" collection featuring full-band renditions of selections from the pre-band days. They already know what tracks they've chosen from Guitar Hero I-III, but they want your help in deciding which ones to reveal next.
They've already revealed a handful (you can see those after the jump), but are offering fans the option to vote for which previous Guitar Hero game they would like the set list unveiled from first. Really hoping Helmet's "Unsung" will make the cut? Go to SmashHits.GuitarHero.com and vote for the original Guitar Hero to see if it's on the list. Want to know if "Guitar Battle vs. Slash" makes it? Go drown yourself in an acid bath.
Tipster power-glove also points out that Neversoft appear to be prepping a demo for Guitar Hero: Smash Hits (hint: it's like Guitar Hero: World Tour with new songs). Over at the official forums, they're asking members to choose which five songs they'd like to see in the demo. Please go and spam that thread with requests for "Halo Theme MJOLNIR Mix."

Also, yes. This disgusts me, and should disgust everyone else. The music games industry will be dead in the eyes of most people by the end of 2009.
God this is lazy...
18 games. And that's just terrible.
Guitar Hero: Greatest Hits Artists!
We take the biggest songs from Aerosmith, Metallica, _______, and whatever other bands we decide to butcher in the future, and repackage the most average ones JUST FOR YOU!
That's because Activision does not even have to try anymore. All they have to do is slap the Guitar Hero name on a game and then, boom, instant money. Sure, it means they have to lose self esteem when I'm pretty sure Activision is well aware that they're money-grubbing whores. But at the same time, they obviously don't care as they continue to make money with very little effort.
oup didn't answer fast enough here's 3 more games!
I think I'll wait & see what the final song list is.
Fail, forever.
After thinking about it, though, I'm not that upset. I'll just look for each of these titles used - hopefully around $10 each, which is a steal compared to the prices I'd have to pay if this were released as DLC.
Go ebay/amazon.com!
