I still think the GH3 soundtrack was better. I only like maybe 15 songs on this list. Maybe in the future you'll be able to pick your own songs and they'll ship you a disk or you'll ask for a specific genre/time frame or artists. I can certainly see them being able to charge an extra $10 for a user specified game with up to, say, 50 or 60 songs. I'd certainly do that over getting 60+ songs that I don't like...

Oh my God! This set list is amazing! I have no idea what these people are talking about.

I'm an "I love music and all the genres that come with it" kind of guy, and I couldn't be more pleased =D

Wow, they even have SOAD, Billy Idol, PUSA, Beck, and Silversun Pickups. Dream Theater too? This setlist should cover everyones liking, at the very least a bit haha.

Only dissappointment I'd say is the song they pick for Red Hot Chilli Peps. THey have so many better ones. Oh well.

I really can't have too much complaints about this setlist, its a fair mix, and i can keep in mind if i want a song, odds are it'll be downloadable.

People complaining can't say that they weren't ever disappointed by any music game's setlist previous to release. I for one was very disappointed at Rock Band, Guitar Hero 2 and both totally proved me wrong whenever i got them, no matter what the setlist, i'm totally willing to try the game, and its sounding great!

Okay, I am seriously considering buying this game over GH;WT now, this setlist appeals to EVERYONE! It even has Testament in it! I have been waiting for so long for a GH/RB game to have Battery in it! The only thing I am counting on now is that it actually gets released down under.

Well it sounds cool but I'd like to see the list for Guitar Hero 4 so that we can compare both games.
