List of songs in Guitar Hero: Metallica

 * Nominator(s): M ASEM (t)

Nomination of another Guitar Hero song list. Now, I realize that the criteria have recently changed and that there's a subjective possibility that this list may not pass (one could argue it could fit into Guitar Hero: Metallica without issues; there is a similar suggestion for a merge of List of songs in Guitar Hero into Guitar Hero (video game)), but I don't believe this would help as the resulting article would be dominated by this list; per Summary Style, the info on this list is more specific than what is generalized in the article. This might be considered a good test case for any future lists. --M ASEM (t) 22:23, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment Why not try creating an article that has all of the song lists? That might have more uses, then you would be able to sort by artists, etc. -- Scorpion 0422  22:47, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
 * This could be long, plus it would make difficult to include the tiering aspects of the game; I can see it as a completely separate list ("List of songs that have appeared in the Guitar Hero franchise") but not as a replacement to the current lists. A quick count in my head across GH1, 2, 80s, 3, Aerosmith, WT, and M gives about 360 songs on disk alone; add in 75 more for the DS versions(*), and another ~100 songs and growing for DLC. And there's no end to sight for the franchise.  To compare, a completely separate list that is not featured but has 500+ songs is List of downloadable songs for the Rock Band series and this is starting to get unwieldy, and that shows no signs of stopping either.  If this franchise was long and since completed I would agree with this approach, but the potential growth of this is puts too many questions out there.
 * (*) I have been toying with merging the DS games to one article as they're all treated equivalently by sources, and resulting in their individual tracklists to be merged into a seperate but single list for all of them, which seems like a reasonable break. That I've not done yet, but seems perfectly fine in this case. --M ASEM  (t) 23:50, 7 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Comments by  T ru  c o  
 * Lead
 * The full set list for the game for all platforms contains 49 songs, 28 from the band over their entire musical career, and 21 others from bands that are "their personal favorites and influences from over the years". -- be consistent with the use of setlist'' (without the space)
 * Playing as a single player or in competition or cooperation with others, players attempt to match notes on instrument controllers as indicated by scrolling notes on-screen in order to score points and prevent the song from ending in failure. -- the two or's is really confusing the first part of the sentence
 * Songs can be played in a Career mode in both single player and band modes to work through the songlist below, or players may jump into any song using the game's Quickplay feature. -- songlist should be song list
 * The following list is the complete set list of songs featured in the game. --> setlist
 * Tiers are arranged in approximate ly difficulty, which varies between the single player instrument careers and the band career modes, with later tiers representing more difficult songs.
 * List
 * I would find a key useful to explain the column headers, such as the "year" being the year the song was released. In addition to explaining the "360/PS3 Career (Band)".
 * The notes are not complete statements, remove the full stops
 * I don't like the system used for the footnotes, can a symbol or a different system be used? Like ref label and note label?
 * While no new downloadable content has yet been announced for the game, PlayStation 3 or Xbox 360 players who have previously downloaded the tracks from Death Magnetic for Guitar Hero World Tour or Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock will have these tracks incorporated into Guitar Hero: Metallica, with the exclusion of "All Nightmare Long" which already appears on the main setlist. -- I'm confused, how do they download this? How do they obtain these previous tracks?
 * The Death Magnetic tracks become available after completing the eighth tier and are played in The Stone Nightclub venue. -- There is a lot of "video game jargon" here, like what is The Stone Nightclub venue?
 * References
 * Refs 2 and 5 should be made into general references.-- T ru  c o   15:26, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I believe I have addressed all the points above but a double check of the wording language that was confusing would be appreciated. --M ASEM (t) 15:53, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
 * The consecutive uses of or I don't really think is grammatically correct, unless you properly use commas or reword it.-- T ru  c o   16:54, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I've sorta inverted this sentence, using "and"s instead of "or"s and should be easier to read. --M ASEM (t) 17:36, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I reworded it a bit. Format the general refs like it is in this FL ref section.-- T ru  c o   18:08, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Just noting that I have done that as so. --M ASEM (t) 19:59, 10 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Support -- Previous issues resolved; article now meets WP:FL?. Interesting and great work.-- T ru  c o   16:49, 11 April 2009 (UTC)

Support, all issues resolved. The linking issue isn't that big a deal, and I'd rather see consistency anyway. Dabomb87 (talk) 12:16, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
