'Guitar Hero: Van Halen' Reportedly in the Works

by Warren Riddle on March 10, 2009 at 06:29 PM



With 'Guitar Hero: Metallica' set to hit shelves March 29th, attention now turns to which band the popular series will focus on next. All indications point toward Van Halen. While Activision has released no statements pertaining to the release of a Van Halen Guitar Hero, rumors abound, and, according to Joystiq, the game will include popular hits 'Jump,' 'Panama' and 'Hot for Teacher.'

While Van Halen songs have been featured in other games ('Hot for Teacher' in Wii's 'Guitar Hero World Tour,' for instance), this will be the first to focus almost entirely on the band. The disc is also purported to include songs by a few other artists such as Tenacious D, Weezer and Judas Priest.

No information exists yet as to the make-up of the band, or who the digital lead singer will be, but the game had better include some classic Diamond Dave material. Since it will, without a doubt, feature some tame, Top 40 Van Hagar titles like "Right Now," the game will need some "Running with the Devil"or "Ice Cream Man" action to give it some true, high-kickin' credibility.
