One Down, Four to Go for this List

Last week, Pwn or Die made a list of ā€œFive Bands That Don’t Need Their Own Guitar Hero Game.ā€ Number five: Van Hagar Halen, outed by a ratings board listing the very next day.

While it’s possible P or D didn’t know or overlooked the rumblings of just such a game, going back a year, that’s some absolutely karmic timing. And so here are the other four we can look forward to being announced sometime this week (commentary is mine):

• Guitar Hero: U2 – I’d have to agree here. I’m one of those guys who came in with ā€œJoshua Treeā€ and then worked his way backward, not forward. I’m not sure I could must up the self-regard necessary to even do a plastic peripheral cover of ā€œVertigo.ā€ I’d feel like I was in an iPod ad. Plus I’m not sure how the African debt relief minigame would work.

• Guitar Hero: Nickelback – Don’t know a damn thing about them or their music, other than they are used as a punchline only slightly less often than Insane Clown Posse.

• Guitar Hero: Coldplay – I’ll confess to being convinced to buy their album by a woman I briefly dated. Then ā€œThe 40-Year-Old Virginā€ came out with its infamous line. Since then, every time I’ve bought a new computer or iPod, god damn iTunes makes sure to redownload this to my hard drive.

• Guitar Hero: Creed – Simply because the game would consist of 80 songs played to the same note highway. Also because they are used as a punchline slightly more often than Insane Clown Posse.

On that score, now I want some DJ Hero: ICP. How about you Juggalos?
