message: Does anyone know if GH3 will be integrated with Singstar? I've been told so but found no information about it..yes it will and drum hero will be playable only 4 the ps3 and xbox 360 only..+++
:I can’t see that happening when you consider the fact that the SingStar games have all been first-party titles (as in, they were developed by Sony Computer Entertainment). The Guitar Hero games are all third-party titles: the original was done by Harmonix and RedOctane, while the second and third games are Activision-developed titles. —BrOnXbOmBr21 22:00, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Multiple entries by same band

message: I think we should keep that little paragraph about the unofficial site there, because it's a good reference site for fans, and helps get the word out for more people to submit their own list of songs. So I put it back with a minor edit.
However, I don't think we should put the 20 most requested songs on the page, so I did not re-add that. I think it's unneeded clutter, the songs change placing often from voting, and the list has already been subject to acts of vandalism.

message: As was stated in the AfD, the main issue was "this article lacks any first party sources", and the game was thus not concidered real. Now that the developer itself has the game on their website, it can not be denied to be a real game anymore, nor that the article lacks first party sources. It's a whole different situation.

message: Harmonix is developing the game called Rock Band, and i've heard that it will support the Guitar controller from the previous GH games, i'm just thinking of that it might be the same game.

Guitar Hero III and Rock Band are separate games. Pele Merengue 22:34, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Harmonix was bought by MTV and is creating Rock Band.  The Guitar Hero guitars will work on that game.  RedOctane was bought by Activision and is creating Guitar Hero III. Skrutop 19:12, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

text: No, they're not.  Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks the 80s is the last Guitar Hero game that will be developed by Harmonix.  It will be released next month.  Guitar Hero III is being developed by Neversoft and will be released sometime this fall.  It will (probably) have songs from several decades.  You could've just gone to the Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks the 80s article to figure this out. -Chickencha 23:04, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

message: I can't deny that there may be trademarks for these games by Activision.  However, I will say that a trademark does not necessarily mean a game will follow: they may have been taking predatory steps to prevent dilution of their name.  But even more importantly, even if those games exist, they have absolutely zero relevance to Guitar Hero III.  If you feel they have to be added, it would be better on the series page. --Masem 04:54, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, I agree with your points. However, the fact remains: these could be clues to the next part of the series. Quatreryukami 06:29, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  That's purely speculation, though. Sure, they have the possibility of making these games, but it's only a possibility, not a probability. I believe the trademarks should be (and are, to my knowledge) mentioned in the Guitar Hero (series) article, but only that the names have been trademarked. And if there's no direct correlation between the trademarks and Guitar Hero III, we can't go suggesting that there might be. So it doesn't deserve a mention in this article.

message: ... and other stuff at this link The information has already been merged into the article infobox. I've put some text into the article itself, but I've put it as an unofficial source for now - granted, it is from RedOctane's support site, but for all we know this could be outdated or incorrect information.
I'm not sure on the unofficial / official thing (already reverted it twice) - I tend to think that officially announcing something would, at the very least, constitute a PR release from the publisher or developer. Daggoth S 06:49, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: No - Gamespot mentioned it referencing RedOctane. There will also be a Nintendo DS version of the series, which will arrive "early next year." Although you can say "RedOctane didn't say it", I think it's solid. The DS version could be an entirely different conversion of the game. Daggoth | Talk 01:58, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

message: www.gamespot.com has some movies of Guitar Hero 3 up and the songs used were "Holy Diver" by Dio, "Round and Round" by Ratt and "I Wanna Rock" by Twisted Sister.

thread_title:  3 more songs not mentioned yet? 

message: The track list should probably be alphabetized.  The order is seemingly random at the moment, and we have no idea about relative difficulty (and hence set number) of songs.
:The order is presently as per the timing of when the track was known, and the order presented in that track listing.  As when the game is fully released, we'll reorder appropriately, and that the full track list isn't known until the game is actually released, there's no need to rush to reorder the tracks. --Masem 12:49, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The track list has been alphabetized by song name, just like Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks the 80s. The track lists for GH2 was alphabetized before the announcement of any set list order. Ultrabasurero 13:13, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
