what bands do you think would be good in guitar hero (think about the guitar and drums not just what sounds good)

i think they should make a guitar hero journey. if you listen to them you'll know why. they are perfect for guitar hero. the solos sound like they would be hard to play and they sound really good. the drums are same old stuff u play in guitar hero world tour but the guitar is what started it.

other bands that would be good and that u should check out

adam pascal

8 stops 7

all american rejects

and the beatles (but rock band is already doing a beatles rock band)

if only alan flores could find this site (the designer of guitar hero)

heres the article

Guitar Hero Band Wish List
These bands would rock in their own Guitar Hero game.
by IGN Music
March 27, 2009 - Guitar Hero is about to rock a little harder with the release of Guitar Hero: Metallica. Dropping on March 29th, the title features 28 brain-exploding Metallica tracks. With this latest anticipated expansion game in the series out of the way, our attention turns to the future.
Which bands might find polygonal versions of themselves rocking out next on videogame consoles everywhere? These are our picks. Tell us what you think, and leave your own suggestions in the comments.
Some of the tracks we cite below have already been featured in versions of Guitar Hero and Rock Band. But it'd be silly not to include these killer tunes when making the case for our selected bands to get their own game... in fact, their existence shows us WHY we need more.
Led Zeppelin
The British arena rock outfit that ruled the Seventies, Led Zeppelin, specialized in brutally progressive interpretations of the blues, and meshed a wide range of influences to create their trademark sound. With their legendary guitar-driven tunes, Zeppelin is just begging for the Guitar Hero treatment. Seriously. Can you imagine playing "Stairway to Heaven" alongside the awesomeness of Jimmy Page and Robert Plant? And of course other boiler-plate standards like "Whole Lotta Love," "Dazed and Confused," and the massive riffage of "Black Dog" would be featured. Wait! We can't forget "Kashmir," "D'yer Mak'er," "Immigrant Song," and "Communication Breakdown." ... Exactly how many tracks can we include?
AC/DC
A Guitar Hero expansion game featuring the legendary Aussie rockers would more than make up for that licensing misstep that was their Rock Band Track Pack. The indelible opening guitar riff of "Back in Black" could sell the thing all by itself, once again reminding us that the eccentric juxtaposition of Angus Young's schoolboy uniform and his instantly catchy and hard-driving playing is eternal. Plus, Brian Johnson's borderline shrill lyrics still make us all tingly. "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap," "For Those About to Rock (We Salute You)," "Hells Bells," "Highway to Hell," "Let There Be Rock," and the list of awesome axe-melting tracks goes on.
U2
Irish rockers U2 may not be the first band you think of while fantasizing about the ultimate Guitar Hero game. Upon reflecting on the prolific group's catalog -- not to mention the awe-inspiring skills of guitarist The Edge -- we think you'll come around to seeing things our way. "Where the Streets Have No Name" alone should be enough to convince you. "Bad," "The Fly," and "Bullet in the Blue Sky" are must-have deep cuts. "Vertigo," "Elevation" are sure things from their recent albums. And then of course there's all the other classic stuff. Grab your guitar controller, a pint of Guinness, and let's rock.
The Rolling Stones
With a catalog spanning over forty years, The Rolling Stones just might need two Guitar Hero games just to feature all of their musical goodness. Early hits such as "The Last Time" and "Satisfaction" were crafted around wonderfully succinct riffs, but more daring was the densely textured atmosphere that drove such songs as "Gimme Shelter" and "Street Fighting Man." These are more than enough to whet our appetite for a Stones-centric GH release. Add "Honky Tonk Woman," "Tumbling Dice," "Miss You," and "Paint It Black" to the list and you've got yourself a sure best-seller.
Journey
We know what you're thinking... Journey? For real? The band, who rose to prominence in the early-'80s and pioneered the power ballad blitzkrieg, unfortunately became the very essence of Arena Rock excess. They may be cited by pundits as one of the reigning blemishes on rock history, but we won't stop believing. Ahem. "Don't Stop Believing," "Wheels in the Sky," are near the top of our list of wanted tunes. The driving guitar riff supplied by Neil Schon on "Any Way You Want It" is a Guitar Hero players wet dream. The chorus, as belted out by Steve Perry, will have all your friends pumping their fists without feeling a hint of shame. Okay, maybe a hint.
Van Halen
Hold up! This one might actually be happening. While there's been no official announcement, word on the street is that Activision may be prepping Guitar Hero: Van Halen for a holiday-timed release. The game would no doubt feature the band's hits like "Jump," "Hot for Teacher," "Panama," "Eruption," and "Right Now." That would rock. But it's just a rumor at this point. And even if it is legit, there are obvious questions about what version of the band will appear in the game. Will it be David Lee Roth, Sammy Hagar, or both? And will Wolfgang Van Halen play the bass, or will it be Michael Anthony? Whatever the case, we hope to find "Unchained" as well as "And the Cradle Will Rock" ("Have you seen junior's grades?") on the track list.
Guns N' Roses
We're not sure what we'd include from the band's oft-maligned comeback effort, "Chinese Democracy," but what we really want in a Guitar Hero game is the stuff that put GN'R on the map to begin with—the seedy, punk-infused street rock that somehow bridged the gap between Led Zeppelin and the Sex Pistols. Axl's relentless screech and Slash's staggering 6-string chops were lethal combination that reshaped hard rock. The mere thought of playing along with "Welcome to the Jungle," "Paradise City," and "Sweet Child O' Mine" is enough to make you want to chain smoke some cigarettes, party with trashy big-haired babes, and smash somebody over the head with a bottle of Jack. Rock on!
The Who
They are one of the most influential rock bands of all time, pushing themselves toward experimental endeavors, like Tommy, after a string of successful singles to start their career. Songs like "Substitute," "I Can't Explain," and "My Generation" couched teen angst in tightly wrapped pop packages, and in many ways anticipated the punk rock movement. "Pinball Wizard," "Who Are You," and "Amazing Journey," along with the aforementioned tracks, are among the most GH-ready tunes. We'd also submit "Happy Jack," "Substitute," "I'm One," and "Another Tricky Day," as potential deeper cuts. We fear, however, that Guitar Hero: The Who may result in the mass smashing of guitar controllers. Be warned.
Would a Guitar Hero game with these bands rock as hard as we think it would? Don't forget to drop your own picks into the comments...

probly just for 1 or 2 songs, if one deserved a whole game it would already be made, or in progress (beatles)

oh yeah,

i think the most guitar hero will do is 2 songs from any one band unless its a specific band game. think of ozzy osbourn he only had 2 songs on guitar hero world tour and so did jimi hendrix.

yeah but jorney would be hard to do since the original lead singer steve perry got his hip replaced twice and it wouldn't look as good with arnel pinada in there because he didn't originally sing the songs but he can sing them exactly the same

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MNQ29OlNXk8

the arnel pineda part doesn't have as good quality so heres one with better quality of just arnel pineda

will you guys stop ubsessing over meat loaf

i think they should redo aerosmith because of the drums. the drums would be pretty good better than most of the drum tracks on world tour but not as good as metallica but good enough to remake it to add the drums.
point: the drums would be pretty fun, awesome and sometimes hard to play
