Because when you think of rock you think Muse.

I'll probably buy this as it actually looks like what Guitar Hero 4 should've been. However, Rock Band 3 is ever more tempting the more I think about it.

I can understand if you were into Guitar Hero when Rock Band and even Rock Band 2 were out but now... if you think this is better than Rock Band 3 you're an idiot. I'm not saying don't buy the game but fuck the quality of Rock Band and Guitar Hero isn't even comparable.

Buying this because I've spent too much money on the other games and DLC to start over with Rock Band.
 
This song got played to death on Sportscenter back a couple months ago. I hate this song.

The ONLY reason I would ever even consider buying a Guitar Hero game is for Rush. But Geddy Lee has said that something is coming to Rock Band 3, so I shall wait. Quite impatiently, I might add.

Making a reference to a disclaimer in your trailer is not great advertising. Hasn't The Simpsons taught us anything?

You can also get 40 stars in each song.
 
No joke.
 
Edit: Okay after a little research, it seems like you can get up to 42 stars according to one of the achievments.

This. Also, the new Rock Band instruments are going to be pretty expensive for video game peripherals.

This just in, Dio songs are now on the Rock Band music store.  Rock Band is now officially the superior game.

Dispite the track listing. Guitar hero has become MORE about the arcade aspect and not the having fun part and fucking around with some people. 
 
However I've always thought the look of the GH avatars seam to look more polished and a lot less oblong and anime-ish. Or something. I dunno the Rock band faces always looked fucked up. Looks like they improved that a bit more. 
 
Also, does this game give off a Brutal Legend vibe? Like your a rock dude and you turn into a demon?

When your game looks like a 15 year old's view of heavy metal, no. 
It would be like if Harmonix decided that Dance Central's next trailer will have Blood of the Kings by Manowar as the song.

Here's the clue: Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock

What are Things that look Terrible and Stupid?

That is correct, for $100, and you control the board.

This. That guitar hero game also looks like it's directed to the 13 year olds who only wear black sabbath and metallica shirts and would be all over this metal looking RAAAAD game. YOU CAN TURN INTO ROCK WARRIORS!? WAAAAAHH!! SO RAD!!!

I don't get the hate. I have been playing both RB and GH since GH3, and both are really fun. 
 
I'm looking forward to the more arcade-ish quality of GH:WoR and the more realistic pro-mode of RB3.
 
Guess I'm a dumby dumb head though.

That kinda explains why you don't get the hate if you started at GH3. My personal reason for such distaste stems from what GH was before GH3. Harmonix created an amazing product with GH 1 & 2, and to see the creation and the creators ripped apart and the subsequent effing up of GH that has occurred at the hands of others has put a bad taste in my mouth.

You were looking for the contraction of "you are" which is spelled "you're."  Normally I'd grit my teeth and let it pass but you can't call someone an idiot and make that mistake.
