Stone Roses FTFW

Being a Stone Roses fan this puts something in Activision's court over Rock Band.

Hmm... Not sure if I'd be able to skip Rock Band even if I got to choose my own songs for GH3.

Looking forward beating on the drum ;P

OK first of all metallica's songs cant and couldnt get on any of the guitar hero games because they wouldnt let harmonix take any of their songs for the project (I know it's really gay)

2nd of all I badly want to get this song on guitar hero 3 it's called "Heavy" by "Collective Soul" and it is a very good song that would work good with the game

follow this link to see it

(you need an IMEEM to hear this)

P.S. The version of this song is the remix version it was used in NHL 2001 as the intro song to the game if you can remember that far back

Actually, they DID get Metallica on the game and "One" is the song chosen. I don't know for sure if its a master track or a cover song, but I do know that the song IS on the game.
