My reason is simple, the next band to be featured is reportedly U2 and that would be a game I'd buy the day it came out and maybe even pay extra for to get it a few weeks earlier from eBay.

The variety, in my opinion, is one of the best things about music games. I've even discovered bands I'd never heard of before that I now love. I really think this is a step in the wrong direction that will backfire on them. This is their way of competing with Rock Band: get a really famous, high profile band's name on the game... but they are missing the whole point.

"Music is a religion to me, and Aerosmith is the Shit!!!" Juan G summed it up best.
“Music is a religion to me, and Aerosmith is the Shit!!!”

Yep, it was that boring. It certainly isn't the song which is going to make me go out and pre-order the game. Anyway, I went and saw Maiden last weekend for their Somewhere Back in Time tour. The set they ripped out would make a wicked Guitar Hero. Best show ever, period! It'd make perfect sense, they could have the whole Egyptian style theme with Eddie (can't forget him), it would even be cool to play Steve Harris' bass lines for co-op, not to mention the sweet guitar solos/harmonies of Dave Murray and Adrian Smith. What I'm ultimately getting to is, at least there wouldn't be any boring ballads to play (yawn).

Rent it, play through it, replay the good songs, then ship it back when you get sick of it. I did that with Guitar Hero 80s, and was able to enjoy it without the horrible price they charge. Now, I'll rent this and be able to play Walk This Way without being ripped off. It is just a stopgap game, though. You can skip it and wait for GH4, and you won't miss much.
