When Activision said that Guitar Hero was getting killed, it meant the whole damn deal. A few people wondered if we'd at least get new downloadable content, but the publisher has stated that after February, the well officially goes dry.
"We will release the previously announced DLC track and mix packs for February," revealed social media lord Dan Amrich, "but we will not be able to release new DLC packs."
Makes sense, really. If licensing tracks was Activision's biggest issue, then it sure as buggery won't be obtaining new ones. The dream is over, guys. Now it's up to Rock Band to give me my ELO spin-off.

Now Rock Band, can you please give us some of those "exclusive" Guitar Hero stuff. I want some more Metallica as well as Dethklok, Van Halen, Aerosmith and Rocky Horror Picture Show stuff. PLEASE!?
Coincidentally in 5 years COD will be getting the sales GH5 and Shred got.

Did Call of Duty stop people from entering the military? Did Madden stop people from joining the NFL? Of course not. So why would a game where you push buttons on squeaky Playskool guitars stop aspiring musicians from forming bands and writing music?
you mean to tell me that Guitar Hero DLC actually existed? in that there was ANY?
they should have done GWAR hero. they would have sold millions more.
What I found fascinating is that people have been saying for a couple of years now that GH needs to take a break, yet when it actually happens a whole hell of a lot of people freaked out.

The music industry made a joke of themselves a long time ago through the laughable actions of the RIAA (read: suing a 12-year-old girl).
