Should song lists be merged to single article?[edit]

Should the GH songlists be merged to a single article? Please see discussion here. --MASEM 20:41, 13 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The page has been deleted, so this discussion is no longer necessary. --MASEM 19:34, 16 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Who Authored Graveyard Shift?[edit]

If you look at the data on the PS2 DVD of Guitar Hero, you will see that the data on disc itself says that the band for Graveyard Shift is Windtunnel Syndrome. The disc lists the title and band for each song. So there is no reason to think that this information on the disc itself is invalid. I don't think you can get any more conclusive than this. As a further note if you look at Windtunnel Syndrome's web site on MySpace [1] you see that they have a copy of the song "Graveyard Shift" as one of their songs that people can hear. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Protektor35 (talk • contribs) 20:53, 29 April 2008 (UTC) Protektor35 (talk)[reply]

The problem is is that we need a strong confirmation that WSyn created the song; see the discussion in the Featured List candidacy discussion that points to this need. The fact that it may be on the disk or on their myspace page is not sufficient for this; we need a reliable source for this. --MASEM 22:51, 29 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Are you saying that we can't trust the data on the retail release disc as a reliable source? That's just crazy. If the data for the song is labeled by Red Octane as performed by Windtunnel then why in the world would you think Red Octane put the wrong information on the disc? That makes no sense at all. To say that they didn't know what they were putting on the disc is just plain crazy.

No we can't; that is original research, as it does require to access the disk in a way not meant to be done. --MASEM 04:26, 30 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Some footnotes feel extraneous...[edit]

Do we need to have footnotes that explain that the RHCP or Joan Jett songs in this game are covers of songs recorded by different artists? A link to the specific section would be sufficient for song information in these situations. There shouldn't need to be any notes about who DIDN'T perform the song. -- TRTX T / C 17:55, 26 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Redundancy[edit]

Is it absolutely necessary to add a "Master recording?" column to each table? As the article states, "all songs [in the main setlist] are covers of the original versions," and "All of the bonus songs are the original master tracks." Why do we need redundant information in the tables? Groudon199 (talk) 15:20, 2 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's consistency throughout all the GH games songlists. --MASEM 15:48, 2 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think so; because the GH On Tour Decades has no such column on its songlist because it's explained that all songs are masters to begin with. I agree with Groudon199. Tubularbells1993 (talk) 17:04, 3 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
"Consistancy" or not its completely unnecessary. It's been established beforehand why its different from later games.

Back in Black[edit]

I have the file and documentation on my computer is people want to see it. People just don't want it up because a "big new source" didn't report on it yet.

JcFerggy 12:48, September 22, 2008

That's exactly why it's not included. Because the only source so far is the editor adding the information. -- TRTX T / C 15:49, 22 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well what do I have to do to prove that what I'm saying is true? If you want evidence, here is a shot of the file using Guitar Hero Explorer.

Read WP:NOR with a focus on WP:PSTS. Noteably

  • "All interpretive claims, analyses, or synthetic claims about primary sources must be referenced to a secondary source, rather than original analysis of the primary-source material by Wikipedia editors."

So then what would I have to do to get my information on here? Would I have to contact Harmonix and personally? Even then, how would I get my response out so people don't think I'm just making this stuff up? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jcferggy (talk • contribs) 19:24, 22 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Unremarkable bands[edit]

Isn't that a shame that the Shaimus page has been deleted and locked because of alleged "Unremarkable people or groups"? I haven't seen the proposed content for this page before it was deleted, but if it is informative enough I see no reason why it should not be accepted. I would assume there is quite a number of people looking for more info about this band since it's been featured on Guitar Hero and will be on Rock Band. Apologies for not posting this to the relevant discussion page, but it has been locked as well... I find ironic indeed that this list is "featured": this, along with the numerous articles on the subject, shows that at least some of you here fully acknowledge the importance of the whole "guitar hero" matter, while articles about bands featured in these games are denied the right to appear on wikipedia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 138.231.176.8 (talk) 14:06, 19 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Unknown artist WTF?[edit]

the supposed unknown artist is Anarchy Club —Preceding unsigned comment added by GastroTV (talk • contribs) 22:33, 14 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

There should be one giant list...[edit]

of all the songs in all of the Guitar Hero and Rock band songs (including downloadables). It is annoying to have to type in every article if I want to find a certain song. The list would look very similar to this:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Namco_Museum#Table_of_Namco_Museum_games

I would do it myself, but I wanted to see if you guys thought it was a good idea. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.56.45.254 (talk) 22:09, 3 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
