    But.....Santana sucks....

    I mean he REALLY does, theres no innovation whatsoever in the 30 years he's been playing, his 10 minute solos consist of literally 3 or 4 notes over and over again, theres only so many times he can bend his e string (or orange button :p) before it just sounds repetitive as hell!

    Of all the guitarists to put in a GH game, a man that did a song with Sean fucking Paul is NOT one of them!!

    U wanna know who's good? Joe Satriani, Tom Morello, Kirk Hammett, Yngwie Malmsteen, Olli Tukiainen, Padge, Slash, Corey Beaulieu....pretty much anyone who can play more than what the average primary school kid can play.


    Now I invite you to justify why Santana should be in GH5...

    Joe Satriani - Decent


    Tom Morello - Amazing, one of the greatest of all time.

    Kirk Hammett - No.

    Yngwie Malmsteen - Give me a break, he can play fast. Terrible.

    Ollie Tukiainen - Decent

    Padge - Decent

    Slash - Good, but massively over-rated

    Corey Beaulieu - OK.

    I have to agree, kinda. Old Santana is OK, just OK. Anything from his Rob Thomas era stuff is garbage though.


    Honestly the guy has talent. He plays a mean guitar, but should he be in GH? Well thats upto the user. For me I would have rather seen Steve Vai. If you are a Santana fan then good for you though, enjoy =)

    Dude, you've crossed the line. No more talking. Santana is the man. I cannot wait for this game. I think I'm more excited for this than Guitar Hero: Van Halen. I think it's pretty much guaranteed I'll be buying this one shortly after its release. Bring on the "Oye Como Va". Oh yeah.

    @Drebin_893: Yngwie can play very fast, and that USED 2 b what GH was about, a good challenge for the devotees aswell as awesome songs we all know and love. But now we have Coldplay getting involved and 1 of the most technically unimpressive guitarists ever aswell. I'm not disagreeing that its gonna b fun 2 see what his solo tune is, but when theres so many other guitarists they could have put in this game, its insane.

    And unless you're goin for the 'hate Metallica coz I think its cool' thing, why is Hammett a no? Can YOU play half the stuff he has produced? I think not

    Honestly enough, I actually can, I'd say about 3/4's I can play. I only like the Pr-Black Album Metallica.
    And playing fast isn't what Guitar Hero was about. The first Guitar Hero was just about playing amazing guitar songs.

    The man is half right. You simply can't say the guitarists he listed are terrible, you can say you don't like them, but you can't say they are terrible.
    Although, man. Some people might prefer Santana to Page or Hendrix. I know I prefer him to Page, but I still respect that Page is a better guitarist. Do you know what I mean, am I making any sense? Sorry if not.

    Well Hendrix has already been in a GH game b4, so theres not a whole lotta point putting him in again, as 4 Page I would rather they did a full on tribute to Zeppelin in their own game as oppose to just a guitar battle, I think th GH franchise is more suited to the guitarists I mentioned, instead of just saying 'Hendrix FTW!' over and over again.

    Well, actually... that's almost the definition of a nerd, minus a few key words.

    nerd

    –noun Slang.
    an intelligent but single-minded person obsessed with a nonsocial hobby or pursuit

    I respect Santana's style. He is not really a technical guitarist, but I like his guitar playing very much anyways.

    Speaking of guitarists, a few of my favorites include:

    Jimmy Page, David Gilmour, Buck Dharma, Kim Thayil, Jerry Cantrell, Jimi Hendrix, AJ Minette, Randy Rhoads, John Petrucci, Mikael Akerfeldt, Buckethead, Joe Satriani, and Steve Vai.

    Oh and for the record Santana was formed in 66, making it 43 years, not 30, not that anyone gives a shit

    I agree with your general sentiment, but come on man, Tom Morello is not a very good guitarist. "

    I like his riffs just fine, I'm just saying that technically he's not the most talented guitarist in the world. "
    Noooooooo no if you were gona make an argument AGAINST Morello, do NOT talk about his technicality, he is head and shoulders above any other player on the planet when it comes to creating a unique sound and playing style, if you dont think Morello is a good 'technical guitarist' then you're just plain wrong....sorry

    @ShalashaskaUK666:

    Sorry man, but Morello mostly plays fairly basic pentatonic stuff through a whammy pedal. It's certainly makes for a cool sound, but it's really not very difficult at all.

    @Roger_Klotz: Bullshit, Disturbed have topped th Billboard 200 three times in a row, they evolve with every new album, Dan Donegan is a much better guitarist than Santana, 43 years just adds further weight to th argument that Santy aint changed whatsoever, that he's been peddling th same shite for all those years and now its in GH!
    Besides, my homepage wallpaper has no connection to my ability to distinguish awesome music from not, plus if u wanna b all anal about music taste, my favourite band is Poets Of The Fall, who are from Finland, and are some of the best musicians on th earth right now.
    Plus dude, we both hav Monsieur Trujillo in our pictures, why th hell are you tryin 2 start somethin with a fellow Tallica fan?
