Earlier today we posted info on Guitar Hero Greatest Hits heres the short trailer:
Yet another upcoming Guitar Hero title has been announced. Guitar Hero: Greatest hits is like one of those compilation albums you see advertised on the telly, it basically takes 48 of the best songs from all of the Guitar Hero games (prior to World Tour ofcourse). the game also takes all of the newest features from Guitar Hero: World Tour aswell as the Expert+ difficulty setting that Guitar hero Metallica brings to the table.

Dragonforce - “Through the Fire and Flames”

this video interviews Alan Flores about the upcoming Guitar Hero game:
Gibson claimed that Activisions Guitar Hero Controllers infringed on a patent they filed in 1999, but this claim was thrown out of the US District Court of Central California.
Judge Mariana R. Pfaelzer said in her ruling: “No reasonable person of ordinary skill in the relevant arts would interpret the ‘405 Patent as covering interactive video games”
“Gibson would have this Court determine that any device that controls something that produces musical sounds is covered by the ‘405 Patent.”
It has been said that Gibson’s lawsuit attempt is down to Activisions choice not to renew its branding deal for the Guitar controller peripheral, as the controllers no longer carry the Gibson brand and logo.
As production of the next installment of the massive Guitar Hero series continues. The band its set to revolve around, Metallica, are apparently considering the idea of bringing some of there celebrity friends into the game, one of which who is confirmed is Lemmy of Motorhead fame.
Metallica’s official website says: “So hey, we were thinking about this whole guitar hero thing, we thought we’d see if we could drag in some of our close friends into the game, too. Not only can you play as us, but we’re happy to tell you that you can also play as our pal Lemmy from Motorhead!”
