post by guitar hero guru Trey...

Hey guys, just got back from AGS the other day, and last week for the first time I had my first real jam session with a "real" guitar. 

Let me tell you something, we played for almost four hours straight, and it felt amazing.  I encourage everyone who hasn't picked up an instrument that is reading this blog to do so. I did, and it changed my life. 

Well enough of my rambling, let's get down to business.

 

First of all, it seems that the GH: Metallica isn't yet meant to be.  Apparently all the "confirmations" a few months ago have been de-confirmed. However, it looks as though it's a possibility  that it will still come out. So all of you wanting to play "Master of Puppets" will have to wait until what I'm guessing will probably be GH: World Tour.

Straying from Guitar Hero and into the netherworld of Rock Band, the entire set list for Rock Band 2 has been released, and there are a few gems in there I didn't expect anyone to know, but the people at Harmonix really seem to know their rock.  (of course, when you're making a game about rock, it would help to know many libraries of albums)
