The next version is Guitar Hero: Aerosmith and it'll only be having guitar. You'll play as Joe Perry, being the lead guitarist of Aerosmith.

I highly doubt any versions after Guitar Hero III will have other instruments in it, because it'll be defeating the whole purpose of guitar hero. The only reason Bass is in the game in Co-Op mode is because.. a Bass is a Bass Guitar. x:

Stick to Rock Band if you want more instruments..

I know that, the article I read on that may have been referring to the version after that one.

Turning Guitar Hero into and Rock Band-esque game is ridiculous -- both games are made by different people. Even if Harmonix went on to create Rock Band and left RedOctane, RedOctane wouldn't want to step into the field that Harmonix is, especially to make an identical game. What are they going to call it? Band Hero? They're sticking to Guitar Hero, and Harmonix is going to keep developing Rock Band.

From what I heard Harmonix isn't going to create a sequel to Rock band for some time. Until the next gen of consoles and graphics come around. Until then you are able to buy songs off Xbox live.

Anyway I agree with Mayz. Adding more instruments would defeat the entire purpose of Guitar Hero. Besides Aerosmith doesn't sound that good a game if the entire focus is built around 1 band

I like the games, but I do agree that some of the songs are pretty bleh. I own 3 and my sister has 2...I quite enjoy playing Paint it black and The Seeker on GH3, lol.

And I will agree with the rest of the panel that more instruments would be a mistake.
Why are the beautiful sick and divided like myself?

Having a rock band-ish theme for a guitar hero game would NOT BE GOOD. Just having the guitar and bass lines in guitar hero is good enough. not everything. Making a whole guitar game around aerosmith is bad enough. I have GH3, and the songs on it totally pwn. Make another GH3-ish guitar hero and i'll be happy :)

Being an 80's geek, I will say that Rock the 80's had some good stuff on there, too. However, my favorite one on that game is "The Warrior".
