Comments on: Release new Metallica’s ‘Death Magnetic’ on Guitar Hero 3 http://sjeltur.nl/release-new-metallicas-death-magnetic-on-guitar-hero-3 The world according to Sjeltur Sun, 22 Jan 2012 19:54:52 +0100 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9 hourly 1 By: Sjeltur http://sjeltur.nl/release-new-metallicas-death-magnetic-on-guitar-hero-3/comment-page-1#comment-989 Sjeltur Tue, 09 Sep 2008 08:20:19 +0000 http://sjeltur.nl/release-new-metallicas-death-magnetic-on-guitar-hero-3#comment-989 That is also a very logical thing.... A new artist is not something the gaming industry ,like guitar hero/rockband, can be interested in.... as bands first have to "prove themselves"... Who wants to play a rock show of an unknown band...?? And the risk for the designers to do this..... But after one or two "hits" you will already see songs of them; Bloc Party etc. But with a racing games etc... you will find a LOT of new artist. On the other hand; being available in other countries can make it for local bands very interesting. Like an Anouk(NL) - Kent(S) will be available in other countries. I even played GH with someone - who got really excited because I picked a song of Heroes Del Silencio (he never heard of....)New possibilities for them.... That is also a very logical thing….

Two examples: http://tech.msn.com/products/article.aspx?cp-documentid=8640365&GT1=40000 and the Wikipedia article about Guitar Hero: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guitar_Hero#Cultural_impact note the bandnames mentioned in that article, they are almost without exception old or really old...
