Wow, this has got to be the best GH setlist in a while. 
 
That said, I'm still not playing it.

I hope you're being sarcastic as far as all the bands you mentioned.

Shouldn't Neversoft be trying to impress people with their setlist? These songs were all terrible.

Drowning Pool and Linkin Park are both on the setlist...sadly... 
 
Looking over the ENTIRE setlist, this game does exactly what Guitar Hero II did to make it a worthwhile game - appease every possible genre they can while making sure to pick FUN songs from each of those genres of rock. 
 
Personally, I was hoping for even the slightest glimpse as the note chart for "Holy Wars...", but I got John 5's "Black Widow of La Porte"...and Megadeth's "This Day We Fight!", which makes me thoroughly happy.  Cannot WAIT for this game so me and my buddies can get back to our high score battles!!! 
 
Also, to everyone bitching about Nickelback, shut the fuck up.  *ugh*  So childish, and most of you have probably only listened to the singles that get released.  Personally, I wish they would've put something like "Just For" or "Cowboy Hat" in the game, maybe "Money Bought" or "Side of a Bullet".  Nonetheless, I can deal with the song that got them famous worldwide.  Unfortunately, I also know that the kids at my workplace are going to play that song a MILLION times and it's going to drive me nuts in the same way that "Beat It", "Cherry Pie" and "Eye of the Tiger" drive me insane.

they seem to be catering to a hardcore crowd, which im sure are not interested anymore. so all the tweens who get this will be sorely disappointed. at this stage, rockband 3 looks like a lot more fun than frustrating and annoying guitar hero 6 songs. plus being forced to play nickelback so early on is the nail on the coffin.

@HellBound: Haha woah dude you are taking this way too serious. And if you are commenting on my grammar the internet must be a living hell for you. oh and if you are going to critique someone  look at what your writing first haha. Quote: "  back up or ill-grammered sentence." And unless I am missing something it doesn't seem like Guitar Hero is added much, they haven't announced a new peripheral or anything. And if you really think I am jumping on the bandwagon with no evidence of that fact then good luck ever trying to hold up any other argument you have.

This latest trailer still doesn't make me want to get the game. I like a few songs on there, but I've already bought the Band of Skulls track on Rock Band (interestingly, less notes charted compared to Guitar Hero's version) and the others I don't mind going without, apart from The Dillinger Escape Plan. That one I kinda wish Rock Band has.

Well, the difference is, Miley Cyrus is DLC, so you don't need to buy those songs and support her. Nickelback is actually on-disc here.

Its good they have not announced a new peripheral. Rock Band is getting stupid now with its "realistic approach". It is a video game, if I wanted to learn real guitar, I would. I am not going to go out and buy a 200 dollar "fake-real" guitar.

They talk about bringing the series back to a classic rock guitar focus, yet the setlist is all over the place just like the last one.

Sorry Guitar Hero. You might've been the first, but you have sucked hardcore since Guitar Hero 3. S'all about Rock Band, and even that I don't buy every entry (Green Day Rock Band? Are you fucking kidding me?)

While it's nice to see Aerosmith back on a setlist, the fact that they chose Cryin' is already a bad sign. 
 
Meanwhile, of the actual songs they played, 4 looked interesting (Interpol, Tesla, Band of Skulls and Queensryche) and none of them truly compelling.

There were some pretty good songs there, prolly good to pass some time while drinking a few beers. But, unfortunately I'm not a big rhythm gamer (only have GH5 because I found a good deal off of ebay for it).

But in other news, about time they have A Perfect Circle in GH.  Too bad the series sucks bad now...

Don't know if I'd call A Perfect Circle, megadeth, Slash and co, and a few others "alternative punkish rock" but, yeah, there was some of that in there.  
 
Also, Nickleback sucks.

Guess what? You don't need to buy it. You can keep using your old peripherals and play on like you never knew pro mode existed.

I hate Nickelback too, am I cool now?
 
But seriously. Yeah, they sold out, and yeah, their music is crap now. But that was one of the good Nickelback songs from back in the day. Why all the hate?
 
Some of these songs looked good. Unfortunately, after dropping $100 for GH5 with the guitar, to get about 10-15 good songs, I think I'll hold off on buying another GH game and wait for the tracks I want to come out as DLC for Rock Band instead, if they haven't already.

They can't take this franchise, stick 'Warriors of Rock' on it and expect us to believe that this is a new, vastly improved experience. Least Rock Band 3 is trying.

The setlist is pretty bad, especially when compared to Rock Band 3, I own most of the setlist songs on Rock Band 2 already. Not impressed. 
 
Surely this is the last ever Guitar Hero, hope so.

Actually, @Hellbound was correct, provided the original phrase was talking about doing things in sequence.  "Instead of listening to good music in a game, I would rather play Nickelback, then support Miley Cyrus."
 
The way you would like for it to read is "I would rather play Nickelback THAN support Miley Cyrus."  "Then" = performing different tasks in a particular sequence; "than" = preposition that introduces a comparison between two activities.

i may dislike what guitar has done in practice, but being a hardcore metal head, most of the entire track list is great.  Wish RB had same songs.  I'm just glad the genre they chose to rely on for this game is really good for me.  For most other people though, its pretty disappointing.  At least I'll enjoy myself

I'm sure some people will get a kick out of this setlist, but my heart already belongs to Rockband.
