User:Estemshorn/Guitar Hero Songs In The Rock Band Series

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Rock Band Series has over 2,000 songs, which includes many songs that have already been in previous Guitar Hero games, not only because the original Guitar Heroes had good setlists, but because labels who have had songs in guitar hero know how good getting a song into a rhythm game will do for them.

Harmonix Era[edit]

Harmonix first released the original Guitar Hero video game in 2005. After that they went on to release Guitar Hero 2 and Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks the 80s, a Playstation 2 spin-off of all 80s songs. After that, they decided to give rights of Guitar Hero to Neversoft, and made a full band game entitled Rock Band.

^a Limozeen is a fictional 80s glam metal band featured in the Homestar Runner series of web cartoons; while the song was created in 2003, it parodies the style of these bands.

^b Judas Priest's "Electric Eye" includes "The Hellion", the preceding track on the Screaming for Vengeance album that segues right into "Electric Eye".

^c Poison's "Nothin' But a Good Time" is labeled in game as "Ain't Nothin' But a Good Time".

^d Twisted Sister's "I Wanna Rock" is featured as a re-recorded master track of the song, not the original album version.

Neversoft Era[edit]

After Harmonix decided to make a full band game, Neversoft kept the Guitar Hero Franchise alive by releasing Guitar Hero 3, which unlike Rock Band, had Guitar and Bass as the only playable instruments. They introduced Full Band gameplay in Guitar Hero World Tour.
