Guitar Hero: Metallica Setlist Released

Posted by Soulskill on from the exit-light-enter-night dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Metallica has announced the setlist for their upcoming Guitar Hero game. They have a wide variety of songs from their different albums. There are 28 Metallica songs and 21 from other artists. They have also confirmed the release date of March 29th. The list includes Enter Sandman, The Unforgiven, One, and For Whom the Bell Tolls. Fans who pre-order the game will have an opportunity to get an extra bass drum pedal to keep up with Lars Ulrich's beats."

Funny thing is, James Hettfield has bragged about how he used to crash on friends' couches, often staying up all night making copies of friends' tapes. Metallica are:

    James Hettfield: Ugly bet-wetting homophobic limp-dick wannabe tough-guy chump with mommy issues.
    Lars Ulrich: a little coke-snorting, bottled-water drinking, Tennis-playing, money-grubbing little faggot.
    Kirk Hammett: Greasy mustachioed vegetarian pedophile who read monster magazines in Catholic school as he was fellating Father O' Malley in the rectory basement.
    $BASS_PLAYER: usually some submissive dog of a loser who gets to be Metallica's punching bag since Cliff Burton died and NOBODY will ever replace him. Usually sits quiet with his leash on during band interviews.

I just bought Death Magnetic a few weeks ago, and it's the only album made in the past 5 years that I own that's not made by Dream Theater.

      As for the lawsuits, that was almost entirely Lars, and I won't begrudge the entire band for it. The rest of them basically didn't care one way or the other.

The $5 is purely to pay for licensing fees, presumably because at the time RB1 was made Harmonix wasn't thinking ahead far enough to include such export rights into the original contract.

      When Rock Band: AC/DC came out, the game included a code in the box which would be used to download all of the songs from the AC/DC game for use in RB2 (I'm not sure if they will also work in RB1, but I think so).

      I want all my stuff available on the console. No disc swapping. That pretty much killed Singstar for me - well, the crappy US DLC releases for Singstar pretty much killed it for me too.

      I play bass and I play GH. I find that while it's no good for training you how to use more than one "string" (They should put 4 to 6 strum switches on it to make it somewhat more realistic...) I have found that I've noticed my timing, finger strength, and left hand dexterity have improved greatly.

      Most guitarists that dislike GH simply haven't put some time in. GH take practice too. If the non-guitar playing dork across the room just kicked your ass in Smoke on the Water, then you need to do more practicing and less whining.

      Get into it, it's fun, especially from a guitar-player's point of view.

      And the only way to impress the women these days is if you can switch off between a real guitar and GH "guitar" and be equally skilled on both!! Let me tell you - I thought my friend did pretty good with the ladies when playing live in a band. Until he started jamming on a tiny plastic twanger thingy, then they were all over him! You can do it if you try. And if you act now, we'll throw in TWO electric twangers.

      Just think of this: when you buy GH: PacMan Fever Edition, you can actually "Plunk your electric twanger, Froggy."

      That ended up pretty rambling. Hope you enjoyed...

PS2 and Wii versions (coming in the Spring, most likely in early May) will include "Broken Beat & Scarred," "Cyanide" and "My Apocalypse" since they are not compatible with the Death Magnetic downloadable content.

    I didn't expect to see so much hate for Metallica. Yes, the black album was marginal and everything after that pretty lame except for Death Magnetic if you can get past the compression issue. Death Magnetic is fucking awesome and the drum work is simply amazing. I used to know how to play every song on every album through the black album on guitar, so I obviously love Metallica and was pretty disappointed with the last few, but to say that Death Magnetic sucks means you either haven't really listened to it or you just don't like Metallica. Funny how people can hate so much and yet they couldn't pluck out mary had a little lamb if their life depended on it.

    1. Re:Wow...the haters by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0

      If one listens to a post-1991 Metallica album expecting a pre-1991 Metalica album, one will be surely disappointed. If one can accept and understand that bands, and especially the people in those bands, change over time, and develop new skills, lose old skills, and change themselves physically and emotionally, then one may begin to accept and understand that Metallica is simply no longer the band they once were. They can never be. All they can be, moving forward, is the best Metallica they can try to be.

      I too liked Death Magnetic but found it a tad long in a few places but overall better than the previous go of St. Anger and reload. For 10 bucks not too bad...

      However many still are a little angry at the hypocrisy of what they were saying and they way they did it. A much better approach would have been 'we know you are downloading it and we dont have much power to stop you from doing it. We the band of metallica ask you to stop and buy it instead.' You know there probably would have been TONS of people that would have respected that. Instead they basically set themselves up to be ripped off every time someone can now.

A lot of their biggest songs are built on fast drums, fast guitars and epic solos, which should make them more enjoyable to play."

    Sounds like Rise Against would be better. Pick up The Sufferer and the Witness; and for a little lighter work, Appeal to Reason (Entertainment and The Dirt Whispered are both easier than Injection and Survive!). Bet we don't see it!
