    So, since Tom Morello seems to be the other boss, how about playing know your enemy after beating him. It’s a pretty cool RATM song.

  2. 2 Canti Aug 25th, 2007 at 3:30 am

    Is this really true? I watched the video and heard it but yeah I donno didn’t think they’d release it now maybe before release or something. Plus to anyone wanting to hate on Morello. He is pretty great and you have to keep in mind a big fact why they aren’t using everyones favorite or the best of the best now. They need to use those guys later! Helps keep them sales up. :P

    awsome! they should also put angus young from ACDC in there

  4. 4 Scott Aug 27th, 2007 at 5:14 am

    Tom Morello as a boss is suprising. I would have thought Dimebag Darrell, Jimmy Page, heck maybe even Ace Frehley. Alot of guitar gods out there that could have been in here. There is a third boss right?

  5. 5 kevin Aug 27th, 2007 at 7:26 am

    Awe angus young, that would suck dick he would be so fucking easy

    so would any acdc song

    None the less thwere a good band, but still not guitar hero loyal

  6. 6 Flaming Squirrel of Death Aug 27th, 2007 at 10:58 pm

    That is pretty cool,

  7. 7 Litorican Aug 28th, 2007 at 5:32 am

    ummmmmmmmmmm i really don’t think tom morello is the other boss. There are way better guitarist out there. There is a video on youtube on the three bosses and he/she has strong proof of what he/she thinks the bosses are. I believe him/her. He/she thinks the bosses are Slash, Eddie van Halen, and the devil.(Either the devil from tenacious d movie or iron maiden mascot)

  8. 8 gyea Aug 28th, 2007 at 3:03 pm

    Tom Morello is an amazing guitarist and I think that he would be a perfect boss, especially if they add some rage songs.

  9. 9 Draconus Aug 28th, 2007 at 6:21 pm

    Umm, Tom Morello is the other boss. There is no doubt and it’s already been confirmed. The third is going to be a brand new character, not someone who already exists in anything.

    THAT HAS BEEN CONFIRMED, IT’S NOT JUST SPECULATION!!!

  10. 10 psychobillyfreakout Aug 28th, 2007 at 7:55 pm

    if thats true they better play renegades of funk

    also weres jimmy hendrix, chet atkins, savage gate (of avenged sevenfold), horton (of reverend horton heat),alex whats his face from rush.

    im glad slash is in it though :)

  11. 11 psychobillyfreakout Aug 28th, 2007 at 7:56 pm

    OR THE GRIMM RIPPER >:)

  12. 12 psychobillyfreakout Aug 28th, 2007 at 7:59 pm

    and just a questoin to anyone that knows.

    who’s the guitar player for system of a down and why is he not in the game?

  13. 13 mxc105 Aug 28th, 2007 at 8:08 pm

    ya eddie van halen would be awsome

  14. 14 Jordan Aug 28th, 2007 at 8:44 pm

    John frusciante should be in it hes an amazing guitarist

  15. 15 JP Aug 28th, 2007 at 11:59 pm

    They should have you battle the devil from the Pick of Destiny as the final song, the song being the guitar battle from the movie. That would be so awesome!!!

  16. 16 mindspin Aug 29th, 2007 at 3:55 am

    Tom Morello is unlike any other guitarist out there and therefore is a great choice. When are they gonna break out the LED ZEP?!

  17. 17 veen Aug 29th, 2007 at 3:59 am

    how abour eric clapton hes nasty or santana or ,maybe the guitarist from sabbath or maiden there r so many possisbilities i mean eddie van halen should b a gimmy bc hes in my opinion the best guitarist ever but whatever

  18. 18 veen Aug 29th, 2007 at 4:06 am

    some other possibilities
    - devil (tenacious d)
    - kyle gass (tenacious d)
    - jimmy page (led zepplin)
    - stevie ray vaughn
    - david gilmour (pink flyod)
    - keith richards (the rolling stones)
    - tom lommi (black sabbath)
    - pete townshed (the who)
    and the all great JIMI HENDRIX

  19. 19 ROK IS MY LIFE Aug 29th, 2007 at 6:02 pm

    LITORICAN IS OBVIUSLY RIGHT LIKE EDDIE VAN HALEN AND THE DEVIL THATS AMAZING BUT THEY SHOULD HAVE DONE THE ASAIN DUDE FROM DRAGON FORCE HE’S THE BEST THERE IS PLUS THOUGH THE FIRE AND THE FLAMES IS THE HARDEST SONG THERE IS.

  20. 20 ROK IS MY LIFE Aug 29th, 2007 at 6:03 pm

    WHICH IS BYE DRAGON FORCE IF YOU DONT KNOW

  21. 21 BBPirate06 Aug 29th, 2007 at 8:22 pm

    Last one has got to be Jack Black. If it isn’t, I’ll pout.

  22. 22 gg Aug 30th, 2007 at 6:14 pm

    it has to be eddie van halen

  23. 23 Litorican Aug 31st, 2007 at 4:20 am

    this is gay as hell. if its tom morello im gonna be pissed off. im not sayin he suks but cum on, they’ll be leaving out legends. unfortunately, im almost 100% sure that its not jimi hendrix because they had the bosses record in their studio. they cant do that if they’re dead. that’s why its not dimebag darrell either. it’ll be a big disapointment for me if its tom morello

  24. 24 wukkanukka Aug 31st, 2007 at 6:27 pm

    it is morello……now suck it nukkas. P.S. Angus Young sucks

  25. 25 dan Sep 1st, 2007 at 3:21 am

    they should put li herman from dragonforce on there

  26. 26 Thor Sep 1st, 2007 at 8:47 am

    they should put Mick Thompson from slipknot as a boss. that would be awesome!

  27. 27 Thor Sep 1st, 2007 at 8:48 am

    hehe Tenacious D rocks

  28. 28 Thor Sep 1st, 2007 at 8:52 am

    Daron Malakian is the guitarist from system of a down

  29. 29 dinotrekker Sep 1st, 2007 at 5:28 pm

    Litorican, the Iron Maiden mascot is a ZOMBIE called Eddie NOT a devil as u sed earlier so i reckon the

  30. 30 dinotrekker Sep 1st, 2007 at 5:32 pm

    Litorican, Iron Maiden mascot is a ZOMBIE called Eddie NOT a devil as you said earlier but w/e the bosses r in this game it’s gonna b ace! what about Herman Li from Dragonforce as a boss? mayb not old enough to be a legend but would make an amazing boss battle!

  31. 31 dinotrekker Sep 1st, 2007 at 5:33 pm

    oh sum1 already sed Herman Li lol dint realise ;-)

  32. 32 Target Sep 1st, 2007 at 6:50 pm

    To Wukkanukka
    A. Stupid name mate,
    B. Angus Young rocks!!! How dare you!!!!

  33. 33 mmetal Sep 2nd, 2007 at 2:36 am

    ttom morello is great, but i think synyster gates from avenged sevenfold would b better

  34. 34 suckonit Sep 2nd, 2007 at 7:21 am

    whoever speculated that “savage gate” from avenged sevenfold was going to be a boss is wrong.. for one reason.. his name is fucking SYNYSTER GateS with an “S” Savage gate? wtf how do you mess that up.

  35. 35 Target Sep 2nd, 2007 at 3:58 pm

    My brother thinks that the third boss is just Lucifer, and I agree with him because it has been confirmed that the fictional boss is a completely new character.

  36. 36 samuel Sep 5th, 2007 at 1:43 am

    it should be michael angelo too or someone like john petrucci or yngwie malmsteem but I think that with the style of guitar hero it will be some kind of devil and I wish that it will be the devil from the movie tenacious D
    HAHAHA

  37. 37 goose7919 Sep 7th, 2007 at 6:41 pm

    If it was not for Angus, Tom Morello would probably not be playing guitar. Neither would any of your present day guitarists. Most of them cite Angus, Jimi, Clapton, Muddy Waters and the other greats as their inspirations to even pick up the instrument.

  38. 38 giggitygoo Sep 9th, 2007 at 1:10 am

    It should totally be Van Halen…he was the best ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! P.S. im with target….. how dare you mock Angus Young like that. he was one of the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  39. 39 giggitygoo Sep 9th, 2007 at 1:11 am

    It should totally be Van Halen…he was the best ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! P.S.to wukkanukka,
    im with target….. how dare you mock Angus Young like that. he was one of the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  40. 40 lee Sep 10th, 2007 at 2:05 am

    im with target and giggitygoo, why are you all hatin on the the beefmaster!?!?!?(i know that name is gay but its just something i thought up).angus young to9 me if you ever saw an acdc concert iswhats different is that HE DOESNT STOP. he plays songs that kickass and solos as fast as jordan (not the solo on jordan,maybe but you know) and when the band takes a break, he stays out there, a flinging ball of bobbing knees,hair, and sweat swinging and playing until everyone leaves. And that is why angus young KICKS YOR ASS.

  41. 41 wukkanukka Sep 10th, 2007 at 6:19 pm

    You know woh needs to be a boss. Swisgaar from Dethklok as the made up character. Now wouldn’t that be kick anus.

  42. 42 A7X4Life Sep 11th, 2007 at 2:49 pm

    Synyester Gates from Avenged Sevenfold would be the best boss out of anyone. He is the greatest guitar player in history

  43. 43 T.J. Sep 12th, 2007 at 3:13 am

    ok i am totally with lee cause i listen to music if i didnt have music i couldnt be the musician i am today everyone knows you start off with smoke on the water and hells bells man you cant diss Angus then at concert everyone would be bored cause he wasnt mooning them lol sweet concertbut see ive grown older and i move on to heavier stuff but i never ever forget my founding fathers of guitar but yea totally all for like deffinitly steve vai, or eddie van halen but no total poop like good charrlotte (Benji was a poop guitarist i played guitar for 4 days and i could play all there songs lol yea so peace ma brotherin

  44. 44 DBev Sep 14th, 2007 at 5:08 am

    All these people are saying “OOO, lets put in the dude from avenged sevenfold, or slipknot, or system of a down, or dragonforce!”…….the game is called LEGENDS of rock, and in no way are any of these people legends, theyre all very good but not even close to the guys of old. It should be eddie van halen hands down, by far one of the most most, if not the most, legendary guitarist ever (besides hendrix, who is obviously dead and cant record).

  45. 45 guns n' roses Sep 14th, 2007 at 6:29 pm

    Slash will be a playbel character and a boss

  46. 46 guns n' roses Sep 14th, 2007 at 6:30 pm

    slash is awesome

  47. 47 BWF Sep 16th, 2007 at 1:00 am

    they should make Hermam Li a boss

  48. 48 tony Sep 16th, 2007 at 7:22 pm

    dude,you couldn’t put dimebag in there, he’s dead

  49. 49 happyloaf Sep 17th, 2007 at 5:47 am

    You know Wukkanukka, for a retard who knows nothing of greatness, you do have a good idea. Skisgaar Skwigelf would be an awesome boss.

  50. 50 Corey Sep 18th, 2007 at 1:35 am

    You guys all are leaving out Zakk Wylde!! that would be an insane boss battle… plus he’d be a cool looking character he’s a giant!!

  51. 51 Target Sep 18th, 2007 at 4:44 pm

    I know they’ve already said its Morrello and thats sweet, but does anyone agree with me that Kieth Richards would make an awesome boss?

  52. 52 Lia Sep 18th, 2007 at 9:45 pm

    you guys are crazy and obviously have never picked up a guitar thats not made of plastic because if you HAVE then you would know that tom morrello is amazing and a perfect boss. yes angus young is the **** and so is acdc but whatever theyre both good. too bad dimebag cant be a boss rip. that would be the ****!

  53. 53 Litorican Sep 19th, 2007 at 10:19 pm

    Im shocked they didnt put jimmy page. Him an his band do own the number 1 guitar solo ever with stairway to heaven. and thats not my opinion. that really is the number 1 guitar solo

  54. 54 shizzledizzle Sep 19th, 2007 at 10:23 pm

    i think they should have slash,Dimebag darrell, and Kerry King as the boss battles

  55. 55 shizzledizzle Sep 19th, 2007 at 10:25 pm

    i take that back. zakk wylde, dimebag, and kerry king.
    and they should have a final battle where u all play together. that’d be cool

  56. 56 God Sep 21st, 2007 at 5:04 am

    I think pre ALS Jason becker should be a boss and just divide some of his solos and make a new song orororororor yngwie malmsteen.. . . or lol MAB… Van halen would be fun but boreing. i want some one fast as hell to play. maybe the guy from trivium(i dislike trivium) but what ever i hopw they dont tell and ake it a secret until the game comes out. along with the last songs. . .(Final tier Raining blood, # of the beast, maybe One) thats 2or(3) out 5

  57. 57 gatling Sep 23rd, 2007 at 1:19 am

    2 words, john petrucci. he’s the guitarist for dream theater, and went to the best music school in the world. listen to the song in the presence of enemies pt1 if you’ve never heard him.

  58. 58 gatling Sep 23rd, 2007 at 1:20 am

    also, i agrre about zach wylde

  59. 59 Joe Mama Sep 23rd, 2007 at 1:10 pm

    I’m very happy that Tom Morello is the second boss. Also Bulls on Parade is Rage Against the Machine’s best song along with Killing in the Name…Although all of their songs are good and they are an amazing band. To play Bulls on Parade as Tom Morello is what I am looking forward to the most in GH3.

  60. 60 psychobillyfreakout Sep 23rd, 2007 at 5:05 pm

    im relitivly angry now that i think that out of every guitar player thats revolutionized music they pick a terd that can step on a pedal….

    randy rhodes played for ozzy when he went solo - crazy train
    bark at the moon

    alex ericson- rush - yyz

    jimmy hendrix- the expierience- little wing

    chet atkins - (i havnt a clue)- (he was just awsome)

    i like rage against the machine but u dont here tom rip a solo no one else can play…. but ……. suit yourself.

  61. 61 Chimpy116 Sep 24th, 2007 at 6:00 am

    Yeah! mxc105 is right, if they like so much the Gibson SG, they should make an Angus Young (from AC/DC)

  62. 62 hosekball Sep 27th, 2007 at 3:08 am

    John Petrucci any one????????

  63. 63 wukkanukka Sep 28th, 2007 at 6:22 pm

    Yeah petrucci would be good…..to bad he is not fictional

  64. 64 Tyler Harris Sep 28th, 2007 at 6:30 pm

    I agree with wukkanukka, Angus young does suck. I have never been impressed with his solos, and I have seen ethiopians with sickle cell disease shread harder than him.

  65. 65 Target Sep 30th, 2007 at 10:34 am

    To Wukkanukka and now Tyler Harris, you should listen to some AC/DC properly and show Angus Young some respect cause he is friekin awesome. I’ts better than all the death metal **** you probably listen to.

  66. 66 tacoscheap Oct 1st, 2007 at 3:24 am

    Jerry Garcia is the best

  67. 67 Heretic Doom Oct 1st, 2007 at 5:01 am

    Angus Young put out multiple hit songs with two different singers, the band was as big as almost any other. You can smack talk him all day long, but are you as famous as him? I don’t see people arguing about how good YOU are, so I’m guessing not. And just for the record he would’nt be classified as a shred player because he plays rock and roll not shred metal. At any rate, to all the acdc fans, they have to give consent it’s not up to the game makers. It all rides on them.

  68. 68 linkus232 Oct 2nd, 2007 at 12:22 am

    well tom morello definately IS a boss…too bad too..im not in this whole boss debut lol i just wanna confirm the FICTIONAL boss now XD (please be a good dude lol)

  69. 69 Guitar King Oct 5th, 2007 at 1:51 am

    ok ppl tom morello is the second boss except it holy crap but lets get real teh third boss should b the greatest guitar player of all time : JIMI HENDRIX

  70. 70 Guitar King Oct 5th, 2007 at 1:53 am

    n angus may have not been the greatest guitar player of all time but he still got rich off music but he doesnt even measure up to jimi hendrix

  71. 71 wpcckid Oct 6th, 2007 at 2:01 pm

    dude this is so awsome i cant wait to play guitar hero 3

  72. 72 Wolfgang Oct 7th, 2007 at 4:59 am

    Jimmy Paige is the guitar god of gods. LZ just demands a lot of royalties for the rights to thier songs

  73. 73 Wolfgang Oct 7th, 2007 at 5:00 am

    *page

  74. 74 anthony Oct 8th, 2007 at 7:29 pm

    the third boss isnt going to be a real guitarist, they already anounced its going to be a “fictional” guitarist, so its tom, saul and some made up guy.

    oh and ps for those of you who don’t know Saul Hudson (its slash’s real name)

  75. 75 Wes Oct 9th, 2007 at 2:29 am

    Garth Brooks!

  76. 76 Coppertop1970 Oct 9th, 2007 at 10:14 am

  77. 77 Coppertop1970 Oct 9th, 2007 at 10:16 am

    Oh and one more…Joe Satriani

  78. 78 G Oct 9th, 2007 at 8:27 pm

    If it wasn’t a fictional character, I would really like to see any of the following people. And please dont respond to me saying any of these guys suck.

    Duane Allman
    B.B. King
    Clapton
    Ace Frehely
    Hendrix
    Buckethead
    Kurt Cobain
    Either of the guys from DragonForce (I’m aware of Through Fire and Flames)

    I am also extremely glad Tom Morello is the second boss, He is my favorite guitarist behind Duane Allman!

  79. 79 Hunter Oct 11th, 2007 at 12:59 am

    Angus Young shold be a boss on Guitar Hero 3. Hes a major rock icon and a great guitar player. He can sprint across stages and play solos and major riffs. People would love his “duckwalks” across stages too. He is awsome.
