Guitar Hero 5 drumset revealed + new tracks

July 16, 2009 in News comments 5

Was I the only person not expecting band play in the next Guitar Hero? Well either way, the next generation Drumset has been unveiled, and.... it's pretty much the same, but with full round cymbals ala Rock band 2

The drums themselves look a lot like the old drums except for one key feature: the cymbals, which now look normal, as opposed to something you'd find on an electronic kit from 1986. Course, other people will say they look less like normal drums and more like Rock Band drums, but hey, to each their own.

As far as the 22 new tracks go, it's an eclectic mix, elevated in this writer's humble opinion solely by the inclusion of "Maiden, Mother & Crone".

Attack! Attack! UK - "You And Me"
Bon Jovi - "You Give Love A Bad Name"
Darker My Love - "Blue Day"
The Duke Spirit - "Send A Little Love Token"
Elton John - "Saturday Night's Alright (For Fighting)"
Face To Face - "Disconnected"
Garbage - "Only Happy When It Rains"
Kaiser Chiefs - "Never Miss A Beat"
Kiss - "Shout It Out Loud"
Love and Rockets - "Mirror People"
My Morning Jacket - "One Big Holiday"
Nirvana - "Lithium (Live)"
The Police - "So Lonely"
Rammstein – "Du Hast"
The Rolling Stones - "Sympathy For The Devil"
Sonic Youth - "Incinerate"
Screaming Trees - "Nearly Lost You"
Sublime - "What I Got"
The Sword - "Maiden, Mother & Crone"
Thin Lizzy - "Jailbreak"
Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers - "American Girl"
The White Stripes - "Blue Orchid"

    Bleh, I'm kind of getting tired of all these music games. They all seem the same, and yet my family still goes out and buys the newest edition every year or so. I guess there fun when you have people to play with.

    Sweet, Rammstein! That's awesome. They also picked a good Elton John Song for the game. I've only listed to a few Thin Lizzy songs, but they seem like a nice addition to the game as well. The Nirvana song they picked is quite awesome too. Other than those few nothing really interests me at all.

    Oh, and The White Stripes? Really? After those comments? Way to be a hypocrite, Jack White.

    Nice to see that they have Tom Petty on there, he's like a legend where I'm from. And Bon Jovi songs are always fun to sing, so "You Give Love A Bad Name" is a nice addition. I probably won't be picking this up though, I'm tired of these games as well.

    Wow. That drum set is sad. Way to recycle old peripherals, Activision.
