TSA Towers loves music, who doesn’t? We all know Alex loves a singalong with Tom Jones on Singstar and I imagine Chris can play his banjo pretty well. Hell, even Nick got excited over this.

Coming this Autumn, the game will allow players to “rock any way they want, with any combination of instrument controllers.” We’ll keep you updated with any extra Guitar Hero news but for now there’s a little something called E3 happening.

Ok, i was planning on not getting this as they are completely milking this franchise now, but looking at some of the Artists on here makes me want to get it

Elton John???
Hmmm not seeing too much newer bands in there! Vampire Weekend are ok and you’ve still got the mighty Kings of Leon but nothing else catches my eye…..

I’ve got WT, so I’ll only need to buy the software this time around… easy purchase, maybe week 2 when the price drops.

It’s not all about the bands though, there are a whole host of new features and game modes

Saving a failed band member is a good addition, as well as being able to play with any combo of instruments.

Also already have the instruments bacuse of WT. Will definetely buy this. I think they included great artists, and it’s good to see Rammstein finally being included
