Guitar Hero to accept your song requests, remaining cash

Activision are offering living room guitar hopefuls the chance to request songs via the developers community website, giving gamers the chance to decide what future music will be made available.

The ‘Music Requests Page’ on the Guitar Hero Team’s community website will give plastic-guitar strumming gamers everywhere the chance to tell Activision which bands and music they would like to see be added to the game.

Requested music will then either appear in future downloadable Track Packs, or as complete Guitar Hero retail titles. Rock heavyweights Aerosmith and Metallica have already been licensed for their own complete games for the franchise, each of which have been successful at retail.

The Guitar Hero Team is proud to introduce the Music Requests Page to the Guitar Hero Community Website! We know that you love Guitar Hero®, and whether it’s in the Community Forums, or on our Developer Blog Posts, we have seen your passion in wanting to get some of your favorite music featured in a Guitar Hero® title.

The Music Request Page on the Guitar Hero Community Website allows you to easily suggest your Guitar Hero® song ideas with a user friendly input form. With the Music Requests form in place, we will now be able to easily organize your ideas, and we’ll have a better grasp on what artists or songs a lot of people are dying to see in a future Guitar Hero® title.

Make your request today, and maybe you’ll see your favorite Band, Album, or Song featured in a future Guitar Hero® Title or as a Track Pack!

Activision’s new promotion stands out in contrast to the real live music experience, however, as no live band I have seen has ever played a song I yelled at them to play, ever.
