Guitar Hero: Metallica Setlist Released
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."
The drum pedal is nice, but does it also come with a ream of printouts?
Why couldn't they make a guitar hero with a decent band, like Queen or The Who or The Rolling Stones?
I actually like Metallica's music.
Of course the band is full of douches, so my Metallica mp3's are all pirated.
Don't feed the troll. Seriously. For all that is Holy, don't feed this fucking troll. /thread

pirated mp3? That's so last decade...
By now you should have all concerts and mtv videos in 1080p, ready to be remotely played on your 50" tv and at the same time, seeded by torrent.
Then someone would nuke your release because one of the videos isn't really in 4.1 and on the propper, he'd include the cracked guitar hero game and 50 ebooks of pretty little poems about Ulrich; 49 of which would be haiku.
I'm curious if the sound is not compressed to absolute buggery on Guitar Hero.
Metallica's last CD album "Death Magnetic" sounded absolutely crap.
if you aint got flac, you're wack!
but instead, a bunch of shitty songs from St. Anger and Death Magnetic.
As for the second pedal, I liked Ars' take on this: "[...] and you'll be able to hook up a second pedal to your drums in order to barely keep up with the rest of the band. Just like Lars!"

All up, there are a lot of tracks likely to be tonnes of fun to play for Metallica fans. Really looking forward to this. (Who do I have to bribe to get GH: Pantera, then FNM, etc!?)
Here's what's missing from the key albums:
JUSTICE: ...And Justice For All (Shame. Already released on Rock Band, I think?)
Blackened
Eye of the Beholder
Harvester of Sorrow
Frayed Ends of Sanity
To Live is to Die (wish this was in there instead of Dyers Eve)
BLACK:
Holier Than Thou
Don't Tread on Me
Through the Never
Of Wolf and Man
The God That Failed
My Friend of Misery
The Struggle Within
KILL EM ALL:
The Four Horsemen (surprised they couldn't get this in there? Issues with Mustaine?)
Motorbreath
Jump in the Fire
Pulling Teeth
Phantom Lord
Metal Militia
PUPPETS:
Leper Messiah
Damage Inc
LIGHTNING:
Ride the Lightning
Trapped Under Ice (already in World Tour)
Escape
Call of Ktulu (biggest omission IMO)
There are a number of inclusions I don't care for:
All Nightmare Long (already have the Death Magnetic download, why even include it?)
Dyers Eve
Frantic (never really listened to St Anger much, so don't know it)
Fuel (there's better on Load they could've snuck in instead; Bleeding Me or Outlaw Torn maybe)
No Leaf Clover (meh)
The non-Metallica tracks look OK, but I would've liked to have seen more than 2-3 from the Garage Inc first disc. Maybe Sabbra Cadabra, Astronomy, Whiskey in the Jar, etc. Why not leave some of those other tracks (e.g., Toxicity) as DLC?
'Thats they exact same thing a banana wrench monkey.'
You know it's true. You must be one of the chumps who decided Metallica was cool after you saw St. Anger on MTV. GTFO sissyboy - the real men are deconstructing Metallica and shitting on their pieces. Go back to your room and resume your masturbation to your Evanescence poster.
Old Metallica is excellent and classic. Everything up until the Black album. In my book it debatable whether or not the Black album itself is good, I prefer the older stuff but the Black album is not all bad.
But they are greedy litigious assholes considering all the crap they have pulled in recent years that basically shows they don't get it when it comes to modern music distribution. Alienate your fans, way to go!

Yeah, because those fans sure are acting like they've been alienated, what with the latest album debuting at #1 and apparently going platinum in the first day of sales.
Now if you had said "alienating the fans who don't buy their albums", that would probably be more accurate. But when you're running a business, what do you lose by doing that?
Will there be an option to turn off the pussy-era songs?

Yea no Jump in the Fire .. oh wait.. Ill just pick up my REAL guitar and play it. Metallica is my favorite band (since i was 6) and always will be .. but i dont play guiatr hero (cuz i can play guitar) so it doesnt bother me.. and although the the engineer might have messed up on the compression of DM ... I still thinkg it was a good ass album (better than load/ reload, st. anger, etc ...)
Go go Gadget Nailgun!
What I hope is that they make some of the single songs available for download through the wii shop. I don't want the entire game, but it would be nice to have a couple metallica songs on the set list while playing world tour.
"Action without philosophy is a lethal weapon; philosophy without action is worthless."
No he is right. I watched it with my own eyes. The Metallica fan base went from the loser headbanger crowd, to the jock football player crowd in almost 7 hours flat. I think it was June 11th 1991.
All points of time and space are connected.
If you downloaded the "Death Magnetic" album for Xbox and PS3, those ten songs will play in their entirety in the full game mode. 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.
About fucking time I get to do something else with guitar Hero on the Wii besides frustratingly pull my hair out on One.
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.
I was at a Dream Theater show last summer, and I wore my Justice shirt. I overheard a couple of guys behind me talking about it, even though they tried not to let me hear:
Guy 1: Aww, Metallica? They suck!
Guy 2: No dude, that's Justice, they were good back then!
Guy 1: Really?
Guy 2: Yeah, they made albums before St. Anger, you know...
That said, I still like the newer albums. Not as much as the older ones, but new Metallica is still far superior to all the other crap being made nowadays. 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.
Besides, the band's always advocated for free distribution of bootlegs; it's just studio material that they went after. For the last several years you've been able to download recordings of their live shows for free from their site.

True but what you are describing is a corporate whore sellout. Who cares if the music is good, just use the auto-tone and get it done quickly so we can get it out to the mass hordes of 12-year-olds.
That's a whole different story. I said nothing about if their music was any good now, but I do believe that the quality is independent of any fan alienation they may have done...
Didn't GH3 boast 80 songs? And it got free DLC as well. I don't believe GH:Aerosmith got free DLC, so I don't expect Metallica will either.
GH:WT also has tons and tons of songs.
I expect they'll still charge $60 for the game.

Mmm... Dethklok is good.
Dethklok? Bah, they've got nothing on Detroit Metal City! Krauser-san is the demon-lord of metal, summoned forth from the fiery pits of hell by his many followers so he can spread his message of rape and slaughter.
Bow-ties are cool.
Isn't this the one where Microsoft's revolutionary Songsmith technology was used for the backing tracks?
Here's a sample: enjoy!
speaking of HD concerts - I've got one of Metallica's shows from Seoul, 2006 in 1080i. James has the biggest nose goblin showing for 1/2 of the show. There's no way I would have been able to see it with shitty old Standard def.
Metallica is one of the few bands worthy of a solo title, says Luke Plunkett of game news site Kotaku.com, "because they're one of the few popular enough â" and with a large enough back catalog â" to make it a worthwhile endeavor. 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!
