Of course I don't know the majority of these songs. So, let's reduce it to the very few that I do know:


* "Rock and Roll All Nite" – Kiss (Encore)
* "When You Were Young" – The Killers
* "Miss Murder" – AFI
* "Knights of Cydonia" – Muse
* "Ruby" – Kaiser Chiefs

As I said, very few =(. So, let's review!

Rock and Roll all Nite: Widely known song from a great band. That is all I can say.
When You Were Young: I would never have expected this to get onto Guitar Hero, considering it's not that kind of song that goes along with terms like guitar shredding and the such.
Miss Murder: Great punk song. Uses the guitar really well in m opinion.
Ruby: Also uses the guitar well. And, I think Ruby is very catchy after hearing it a few times.
Knights of Cydonia: When I heard that this song was in Guitar Hero 3, I was like, "Folks, we have the new Crossroads/Freebird!!!" This song is amazing, and a perfect choice for Guitar Hero due to the song mostly being guitar solo. Sadly, though, KoC is only on level 7 out of 8. Now I wonder how hard it shall be...


Just a few quick reviews there. Now, I want to share some songs that I think should be in Guitar Hero:

Bat Country - Avenged Sevenfold: This song MUST be on Guitar hero 4, or I will probably destroy my guitar controller. This song has one of the best guitar solos I have ever heard in my life. It would make for a really hard song on Guitar Hero in my opinion. And a really awesome one. Also, look out for an album review of Avenged Sevenfold's newest album on Tuesday ;)

Icky Thump - The White Stripes: Icky Thump has some really crazy guitar playing. This makes me think that it would be a good song to be on Guitar Hero due to its uniqueness.

No More Sorrow - Linkin Park: I think No More Sorrow would be good on Guitar Hero due to its long chords. This could easily be a song in the 1st group. NMS seems like an easy song to play, making Guitar Hero a better time for newbies to the Guitar Hero franchise. Plus, Linkin Park has sold the most albums worldwide out of all albums released in 2007. Now is that an impressive feat or what?

Party Like a Rock Star - Shop Boyz: Now this may be pushing it, but I think Party Like a Rock Star does deserve some spot in Guitar Hero. This song would give the people behind Guitar Hero a chance to widen the genres of music in Guitar Hero. Plus, don't rock stars play guitars?

Well, that's all for now. See you tomorrow, my fans!!
