Over a year after Metallica's thrash metal album "Death Magnetic" was released, Guitar Hero Wii players are still left with only 4 of the tracks to play. Meanwhile, Xbox 360 and PS3 players have had all 11 Death Magnetic album songs available as Guitar Hero DLC since the album's debut in September, 2008.
As usual, Guitar Hero company representatives were extremely tight-lipped when the ugly truth became apparent to angry Wii gamers that in fact, only 4 of the 11 songs would be available. Everyone wanted to know the reason why, but the company wouldn't talk. A few months later, Neversoft posted an official statement on the GuitarHero.com Community Forums:
A 3 song demo of Band Hero for Xbox Live is now available. The demo features Party Play mode and the new Sing-Along karaoke mode. You can play:

Activision could have been more specific by calling it Family Hero or Pop Hero but instead named it "Band Hero", resulting in confused gamers wondering why Guitar Hero World Tour wasn't called Band Hero, since it was the first GH game to feature full band support.
Band Hero for the console systems has virtually identical features and functionality as we examined at length in the 5Frets.com Guitar Hero 5 review. Basically, it is Guitar Hero 5 but Rated "E" instead of Teen/14, and focusing on pop songs targeted at the casual gamer and families. You won't find any screaming death metal songs in this game whatsoever, instead you'll see pop icons like Fall Out Boy, Spice Girls, Hilary Duff, OK Go, and The Mighty Mighty Bosstones. (Check out the Band Hero Song List: 65 Tracks for Xbox 360, PS2, PS3, Wii.)
The graphics have been re-themed to feature a lot of bright, colorful venues like a shopping mall or a concert stage loaded with neon colors.
5Frets.com has the full track list for Band Hero, along with which Guitar Hero disc imports Band Hero will support, and the 4 Band Hero songs that won't export to Guitar Hero 5.
Wondering What is the Difference Between Band Hero and Guitar Hero?
In addition to the disc exporting, the following games' downloadable tracks will also transfer:
Finally, 61 of Band Hero's 65 song track list will also export into Guitar Hero 5 for $5.00 (420 MSP, 500 Wii Points). That sure beats the paltry 35 out of 86 tracks Guitar Hero World Tour exported. See bottom of page for the 4 songs that will not export.
The loudest complaint about the free Guitar Hero Van Halen game offer so far has been without a doubt, the fact it comes in a cardboard "demo" sleeve instead of a full plastic DVD-style case with manual.

Guitar Hero Van Halen: Xbox 360 Game Disc and Sleeve. Notice the lack of the usual plastic DVD-sized game case, and the "For Promotion Only / Not For Resale" sticker.
Guitar Hero Van Halen reached the mailboxes of the first Guitar Hero 5 owners today, giving the world a first look at the final product.
The Van Halen game was offered free as a promotion to those who purchased Guitar Hero 5 and mailed in the offer during the month of September. There has been an unusual lack of promotion for this game from publisher Activision, making it all the more exciting to finally see some real hands-on photos.
Guitar Hero fan and ScoreHero.com member "ubermeister30" (who happens to live virtually next door to the Minnesota shipping center), was fortunate to receive the game today on a Saturday morning USPS shipment.
