guitar_hero_logo While speculation has continued that Activision will be releasing a version of the perenial Guitar Hero centered around Van Halen, the company has offered no official comment. This speculation was further increased over the weekend as a German game ratings board announced specifics for Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 versions of the game. Unterhaltungssoftware Selbstkontrolle (USK) refers to the game as “Guitar Hero Headlining Van Halen”, which would indicate the game may indeed come with an unusual name for the series. In March, Eurogamer magazine mentioned August 9th , 2009 as a potential release date, as reported by the VHND here.

i dont want Sammy writing ‘serious songs’… take a look back at the ones he has made in the past “Not Enough” “(I Dont Care)What Love Can Do” and “Learning To See” no thank you ma’am.

Sammy doesn’t have to necessarily write “serious” songs just don’t write embarrassing, retarded songs like Up For Breakfast, Soap On A Rope, Spanked..etc. The Seventh Seal, Right Now and 5150 are perfect examples of Sammy writing great lyrics!! Now Sammy just pretty much farts out anything lyrically and all the Waborita fans, including scar, think it’s the best stuff ever written!

aarxn,

Those first two were good songs I thought were really good, and so were songs like “Right Now,” “Judgement Day,” and “Mine All Mine.” Of course, I enjoyed most, if not all, of Sammy’s tunes with VH.

I don’t know guys, I’m at a loss. It is only my assumption about taking the music more serious. I was just trying to point out that you can take it serious and write lryics about having fun.

All I can say is that Sammy’s lyrics stick out like a sore thumbs these days, and they don’t seem to mesh/blend well with the music. In my opinion they lower the quality of the songs. I can’t help but notice it, as do a large quantity of people I know, and who post to the VHND.

I can’t put my finger on it, these are just my assumptions.

To Bort:

Actually I decided I like Dave better on my own. My dad likes both and my aunt likes Sammy. I just like the feel of the Dave era stuff better. When I listen to Sammy’s stuff it sounds more serious and suburban… I dont know if that makes any sense… It sounds like its for adults with a family and whatnot…

Rap=crap

If they follow what Metallica did, it will be the current lineup of the band. Therefore, no Sam, no Gary, and yes, no Michael Anthony.

I bet it will be the six-pack songs only and maybe Me Wise Magic, no Sam songs, they won’t want to share the royalties.

Maybe by an act of God they will have a couple new tunes on there…yeah right.
