First off I hope this is not old news.

I would love a Van Halen GH game. I would prefer they just release some songs on GHWT but having a playable Eddie Van Halen and David Lee Roth would just be awesome. I wonder what band members they would bring into the game, just the members right now or are we going to see some Sammy Hagar and Michale Anthony?

Also didn't we just here about GH Greatest Hits coming out? They are pumping out the games if this is true.

As long as it has the second greatest frontman of all time, the one, the only, David Lee Roth I'm happy

Sammy I'm ok with

I'd definitely buy a Van Halen Guitar Hero. Their songs would be very fun to play.

GH: Van Halen sounds awesome.

I need to go look into Band Hero. Sounds like a GH + RB rip-off.

Yeah I was wondering what Band Hero is. They all ready did the band thing for GHWT but maybe it is just the next true game in the GH franchise but they are trying to more of a emphasis on Band as apposed to Guitar.

Activision's going to single-handedly destroy the music game genre by running it into the ground.

Because they won't make as much money if they do that.

Eh, Activision can do what they want. :P I just plain have more fun in Rock Band than I do in Guitar Hero, and making a music game dedicated to Van Halen is enough to tell me that they have no intention of being more like Rock Band. Not that that's a bad thing - variety is always welcome - but it does make me disinclined to bother.

Then people are paying money upfront for songs they don't want PLUS getting the packs later on

Band exclusives mean the user doesn't have to part with a lot of scratch to get the music he/she wants
