The band The Answer released a press statement today declaring that one of their songs, "Never Too Late" (video of the song above), will be appearing in Guitar Hero IV. They also stated that Guitar Hero IV would be coming out at the end of this year:
"This is a tremendous honour and privilege for both The Answer and the Alberts label," said James Cassidy, UK boss of music label Alberts.
The song is one of 20 picked out from over 200 songs that were submitted at a trade fair event by Activision. It's no surprise that GH IV is coming out this year. The franchise is now a giant money cow and they're going to milk this baby dry. So what do you all think of this song from a band no one has ever heard about before?

Don't you think it's odd that now that Activision has usurped EA as the number one third party company, they're doing the exact same thing that EA has been doing for the last decade, schilling uninspired sequels to games far sooner then most gamers are ready for?
This song sounds pretty awful, but I’d have to hear a studio version to make a proper judgment. No matter...I doubt I’ll be buying Guitar Hero IV unless there’s some songs by AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, the Eagles, or The Beatles in it.
I mean I know it isn't business smart (so it will never happen), but in the long-run supporting better DLC instead of going Madden on that ass and making the same game every year +roster updates, will keep the franchise relevant longer.
/run-on sentence
This gets a big MEH, as does GH4.
i'll probably end up buying it anyway.
AWESOME!!!!!
As a side note, I've probably dropped close to 50 bucks already on Rock Band DLC. By the time GH4 comes out, That will have probably tripled. GG Activision, you guys suck.
Exec: Well, Jim, we here at Activision believe it's never too late to make another.
And that's the Answer.
Also, Guitar Hero is dead to me since Rock Band came out.
I'll be sticking with Rock Band.
I am not one to question one's musical taste but you are extremely narrow minded musically.
Also, Mxy has the right of it. That's called business, my friends. Activision is a business. That is how businesses make money. They aren't making the game for you. In fact, I dare say most developers are not. Sure, they want you to be happy with the game, but that's only so that you buy it, and recommend it to your friends, who will also buy it.
Also, remember that YOU DON'T HAVE TO BUY IT. No one is raping your childhood, crapping on your gaming memories, or doing anything else hurtful to you by releasing a product that you can choose not to buy. For every one person bitching, five will buy the game. What do you expect them to do?
Ill admit, I bought Guitar Hero 3, but I haven't even wiped the dust off the box since I got Rock Band.
No GH4 for me.
