Extreme Gamer writes: "The question you need to ask yourself before you even consider purchasing another music game is how much do you love Guitar Hero, are you sick of your old games, and do you feel like hitting the road once again in another Guitar Hero/music game experience? Band Hero is pretty much Guitar Hero with a focus on pop music instead of the vast pounding, aggressive nature of Guitar Hero's rock n' roll/alternative rock track listing. Now that is not to say that Band Hero doesn't rock, because it does, it's just a little bit different. The best thing about Band Hero is that it includes all the changes from Guitar Hero 5... and for the record, Guitar Hero 5 rocked our socks off scoring a high rating of 9.5/10 on Extreme Gamer (shameless self-promotion plug & review link)."

They seemed pretty jolly & proud in the behind the scenes videos. It's pathetic how this is the ONLY band to sue over this,,,,, Ozzy, Aerosmith, Metallica, Lemmy, Slash, Van Halen, Nirvana all seem perfectly contempt. I would sue too :/ I mean if i was them then there's No doubt i'd have like no money either (pun intended).
