Wedbush Morgan analyst Edward Woo discovered something interesting whilst nosing through a recent SEC filing of Activision's. Along with the already announced Guitar Hero: Aerosmith, Guitar Hero: On Tour and Guitar Hero: World Tour, Activision has listed Guitar Hero: Metallica for their fiscal '09 plans. The assumption is that the next band-based title in the Guitar Hero series will come after Guitar Hero IV (World Tour)'s holiday release. This follows the pattern of Guitar Hero [X] and Guitar Hero [Subtitle] that we've seen since Guitar Hero II's release in 2006.
There are no other details on the game, but no doubt we'll hear about it sometime this year. The only thing we're curious about is whether Activision has managed to secure exclusive rights to Metallica's music, like they have with Aerosmith. We certainly hope not.
SEC filing reveals further flogging of the Guitar Hero horse

I certainly won't care much.
Black is the only album worth mentioning really and most of the great songs are already available.
I won't pay a full title price for DLC no matter who is exclusive. If I have to say goodbye to the Napster killers, then, like Fez "I say gooday!"

Black is the only great album? Not a metal fan I take it... Everything up to black is worth purchasing, they can keep the rest.
It seems I'm going to have to stop buying Activision products... even EA is above this nonsense

Isn't the Call of Duty series made by Infinity Ward , but owned and published by Activision . Good luck not buying their products.

OMg I might just get to play Orion on Guitar Hero after all. Here's hoping Neversoft has a little taste. Entire Master of Puppets and ...and Justice for All albums please.
