Ok who owns it?
Anyone else plan to buy it Dec22nd?
Think it's worth it?
Anyone else think that they should have made Micheal Anthony an unlockable?
Anyone else think that they should have made Sammy Hagar an unlockable with Sammy era songs?
Anyone think that they should have made Gary Cherone an unlockable with Gary era songs?


Sammy Mike, and Gary did made Van Halen history and I think that they should have been in the game and that Wolfgang should have been an unlockable, and Mike on bass.

Your thoughts?

looks pretty fuckin lame to me! Of course the GH games have gone drastically downhill since GH3.

I agree, :lame::lame::lame: The novelty has worn off. Looking forward to COD though


Edit: unless you get to bang the chick as Diamond dave, then I MIGHT buy it. David Lee Roth IS Van Halen, they suck w/o him.

NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the worst songs and worst idea that the VH brothers ever made. once sammy butted heads with them and then michael anthony goes on tour with sammy and that pisses of the VH bro's off even more and they kick him out....they should have just announced that VH is done.
well technically they are since there hasnt been anything new from them in.....????

oh and i will NOT be getting this,i had my fill of the METALLICA one (and i only did the Bass part) i gotta figure the VH guitar part should be insanely hard....or that would just be bullocks!

you woulda thought that about the Metallica game too. But actually the guitar wasn't all that difficult on GH:M

Yes agree mate, the song selection has been pretty lame of late. Seems they think less of your classic guitar tracks and more of the unknowns makes for a winning formula. Sadly it does not, the cost of the guitar is a bit steep too £60 for something that aint even a real guitar , I can get a real guitar (a basic one!) for that money and still have some change left.

It's not just in the guitar hero games either. RB's DLC is a load of shit week after week. They might throw in a half way decent track once a month or so, but thats about it. They also try to go for the "popular" bands and that's just a catastrophe.
 
Van Halen through 1984 with Alex, Eddie, David and Michael were awesome, Sammy Hagar was good Van Halen too. The return of Van Halen with Wolfie on Bass, :confused: What I've seen online I'm not impressed.

Wolfie did really well during the 2007-2008 concert, but he has a long way to ever filling Mike's shoes or vocals..


I thought since the game is called Van Halen, that it should have included all aspects that make them Van Halen.

I liked the fact that they have everyone dressed in their pre-1984 outfits *exception to Wolfie wearing Eddie's 1984 attire from Panama* to them looking alot like they did on tour.

I hate the fact that Mike isn't the primary bass player in the game since it is him in every Van Halen tune in the game. I also think that he should have had Now look, and his older look as an unlockable, or visa versa depending how the game goes.. Wolfie should have been an an unlockable for him and his evh look.. Sammy Hagar should have been an unlockable with his era songs as unlockables. At least if they didn't do that, they should have at least considered it as a possible bonus disc.. Also a couple of their live tunes from Sammy's solo career that was preformed by Van Halen in 86 such as There's Only One Way To Rock and I Can't Drive 55 ,and from 86 their verisons of Addicted To Love, Rock N Roll and their version of Won't Get Fooled Again from RHRN. (side note if I was picking songs, I would choose, I Want Some Action by Van Halen that never was officially released that is off of Dawn Of 5150, should be on there cause it slays anything on 5150)

As for Gary Cherone, I would have made him an unlockable with his look from Extreme's second album era as an unlockable. With at least 5 songs off of Van Halen III, The tracks I would have chosen is, Dirty Water Dog, Once, One I Want, Fire In The Hole, and From Afar.. I would also have added their unreleased song That's Why I Love You demo for VHIII

Since I am speaking hypothetically, They could have also included some of the songs off of the demo Gene Simmons helped them make such as Put Out The Lights, Let's Get Rockin', Woman In Love (not the same as Women In Love.) and the orginal version of House Of Pain.

Also a couple that got was recorded live like Beer Drinkers and Hell Raisers remake, and some of their orginals like Down In Flames, Dark Star, and the pre 1978 version of Eruption.


Ok onto if they really do make a Guitar Hero Van Halen expansion pack, I would like to see a bunch of songs throughout Dave's era. In no order the ones that I would include..

Drop Dead Legs
Light Up The Sky
Somebody Get Me A Doctor
Dirty Movies
Full Bug
Hang Em High
On Fire
House Of Pain
Here About It Later
In A Simple Rhyme
Where Have All The Good Times Gone?!
Little Dreamer
I'll Wait
And The Cradle Will Rock
Girl Gone Bad

For unlockable songs I would choose (in no order)

Rise ( Eddie did for a porno)
Catherine (Eddie did for a porno)
The Top Gun song that Eddie did.
Eddie's remake of Fur Elise.
Your No Good
Oh! Pretty Woman
316

Since other bands are on GHVH, I would include these tracks..
Death To All But Metal by Steel Panther
Champagne by Cavo
Animals by Nickelback
Sound Of Madness by Shinedown
Hell Yeah by Rev Theory
Bad Girlfriend by Theory Of A Deadman
Flying High Again by Ozzy Osbourne


Also for unlockables that Van Halen or the GH band can use would be
Mike's Jack Daniels bass
Eddie's guitar from 86 to 88
Eddie's guitars from 76 to 88 from his Les Paul to his Chainsaw Mauled Explorer to his imfamous Frankensteiner.

Ok I know I wrote quite the book here, but what else would you have added to this game?
 
Eddie Van Halen had nothing to do with the "Top Gun Anthem".

So many people think that Eddie played it but it was actually written by Harold Faltermeyer.

STEVE STEVENS plays the guitar on "Top Gun Anthem".

I just wanted to clear that up .

thats wild i never even heard of that rumor... i guess because i knew faltermayer had done it.
 
I got the game a couple weekends ago in the mail and I gotta say that I like it. I wasn't into VH all that much back in the day but I still find this one pretty fun!
 
Guitar Hero Van Halen has got me stoked over a music game for the first time in awhile,Im loving this thing. My career is music based and when I was growing up,Eddie VH was the guy that made me tell my folks I wanted to learn guitar. Needless to say I grew up listening to all Van Halen,the Lee Roth and Hagar era.

I must say, since Eddie was "thee" original pioneer of the rock guitar genre, Van Halen songs are extremely guitar based and very technical in that aspect.

That said, Eddie was a total bad ass in his day and when you pull off his riffs in the game it makes you feel like a bad ass as well. This game is very very satisfying due to the fact that the guitar arrangments in every one of these songs is intricate. Lets face it,when you think "guitar hero" one of the first people to come to mind is Eddie VH and his red,white and black frankenstrat guitar....

If you're a VH fan and like guitar games than its a no brainer Mr. Whaler. Another thing I'm loving too is that it feels like you are hammering these riffs as you would on a real guitar. When Eddie ascends and descends the fretboard like he would for these songs for real,the game nails this spot on with the way they arranged the riffs to be played on the controller.

Eddies guitar work on the early Van Halen stuff is very angry sounding,aggressive and like I said very intricate. It sounds very bad ass and once again, when you pull off these licks right along with the music you feel bad ass too......thats the only way I can describe it.

I can see people having a complaint alittle about the track list having no Hagar songs and the supporting stuff not fitting but hey,thats what DLC is for and people nit pick way too much with music games these days.....
