This morning, Activision released the complete band lineup for Guitar Hero 5, which hits stores on September 1.
Why do you want to buy this iteration of the mock rock game? Aside from new songs, this game will let you switch instruments, add or remove players without interrupting the song. Also, if everyone you know wants to play drums on a certain track, you can do that to. All they need to add is a "no fail' mode like they have in Rock Band, and we predict this will, along with the upcoming Beatles: Rock Band, will be the party game du jour this Fall.
Here's the complete list, it's great to see songs from such a wide range of artists. When else would Sunny Day Real Estate, Iron Maiden and Johnny Cash share the same bill?
