Guitar Hero - Metallica (2009)

Guitar Hero for PS2 is a game that i consistently played for the last several months. I had all four titles, and even bought a Guitar controller for it. And even if i'm not nearly good enough to take out "Dragonforce's Through Fire and Flame" in Expert mode like this dude on this video (attached to this post), i could play almost all songs in the games in Expert mode.

Anyway, the next Guitar Hero game was confirmed, and it's Guitar Hero - Aerosmith which as the title suggests, features song selection from Aerosmith's songbook. I'm not particularly hyped with the news. Sure, Aerosmith is one of the prominent rock band for the last couple of decades, but as with any rock band that has been going through several decades, there's a high time and there's a low time. For me, Aerosmith's high time was sometime in 90's. And if you asked me, they has been on a decline ever since. But of course, it won't stop me from buying the game once it's released.

Rumor has it, that Guitar Hero would also released a Guitar Hero - Metallica. Now, THIS is a rumor that made me squeamish with anticipation. Even if Metallica hasn't really bounce back from the ridiculous success of the Black Album (1995? 1994?), i grew up with the band, having introduced to the Black Album, had had a period when i named Master of Puppets as my favorite album of all time, and having all these goosebumps when i saw James Hetfield with his goatee performing The Unforgiven live. Their hard time was well documented in Some Kind of Monster. You, Metallica fans should see the film. Short version, it should be of no surprise that i'm far more eager to anticipate the release of Guitar Hero - Metallica.

Update: It's not a rumor, though we'd only see Guitar Hero - Metallica in 2009.
