List of songs in Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock

 * Nominator(s): M ASEM (t) 21:39, 7 October 2010 (UTC)

It's been a while since I've been able to FL a Guitar Hero list (thank you activision for slowing down releases). Format of this is similar to the previous lists. M ASEM (t) 21:39, 7 October 2010 (UTC)


 * Comment— a dab link to The Telegraph; no dead external links. Ucucha 23:06, 8 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Dab fixed. --M ASEM (t) 23:45, 8 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Ucucha 00:49, 9 October 2010 (UTC)


 * Comment - can the first instance of the genre's be linked (if there is an article on them). Several of those genres (FE Speed Rock) I am unfamiliar with and I would expect a link somewhere in the article, episodically on a table. 陣 内 Jinnai 20:46, 13 October 2010 (UTC)
 * We have generally not linked these in past lists (though they are only a recent addition). If linking is suggested, it would likely need to be for each row since the table is sortable.  I leave it to comments to do this or not. --M ASEM  (t) 20:51, 13 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Why was it changed? I could understand if they were redlinking, but those wikilinks are clearly relevant to the topic. 陣 内 Jinnai 21:32, 13 October 2010 (UTC)
 * In the early games they never provided a genre so there was no genre column at all. It only came about a few titles ago when they included their claimed genre with each song. --M ASEM (t) 22:44, 13 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Just to reiterate, I would like additional input if linking the genres should be done. It's quite doable, I just would want a few more voices here. --M ASEM (t) 21:10, 18 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Might want to post a link to this FLC and note this in WT:VG for some comments. 陣 内 Jinnai 16:23, 30 October 2010 (UTC)


 * Support - I think theres no big issues. I've also removed information I feel is unnecessary in the description of the image in my view this information is best used for the main article. Afro  ( Talk ) 18:08, 12 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Comments: Here are the issues that stood out to me.
 * For the notes to the tables:
 * Why is there a plus sign instead of another letter?
 * Why is one set (for the main setlist) have spacing between the notes, but the other set (for the downloadable content) omits it?
 * Is a gameplay explanation necessary? I'd say no, but will concede to a good reason. If yes, however, I suggest trimming it to the bare bones.
 * In regard to linking the genres, why not have them listed and linked in the article lead or in the introductory paragraphs of the sections?
 * Source check: what makes the following sources reliable?
 * Ref 8 and 19: Blabbermouth.net
 * Ref 10: Roadrunner Records
 * Ref 24: One of Swords
 * Overall, the list is in good shape, but there are few small issues that I think should be addressed before supporting.(Guyinblack25 talk 17:47, 11 November 2010 (UTC))
 * I fixed the footnoting on the tables. I have no idea where the space came from save that when the "+" sign was used, it added a space.  They've all been normalized to letters now.  The gameplay description is necessary only to explain the song order/selection with the presence of 2112 and Sudden Death in the list, I'm not sure if I can cut it back.  On the sources, I've replaced/cut the Blabbermouth and RR Records with other more reliable sources.  One of Swords is an Activision employee that blogs on the Hero games, and thus the announcement of the DLC from him would be reliable.  I did try to find something to replace this but I've not found a source more reliable than this that has the same info short of a Xbox live marketplace product page. --M ASEM  (t) 18:24, 11 November 2010 (UTC)
 * I took a stab at trimming the gameplay paragraph. Hope nothing essential is lost, so please feel free to revert if it was. Other than that, I think the list looks good. Support. (Guyinblack25 talk 19:23, 11 November 2010 (UTC))

Support, all issues resolved. Dabomb87 (talk) 22:49, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

Comments –
 * "and Vicarious Visions, the latter who provided support for additional features in the Wii version of the game." Feels grammatically awkward to me. I think that changing the comma to a semi-colon and removing "who" would be enough to fix it.
 * "Following a decline in sales of music games in 2009, partially due to the large number of music games released in 2009". The use of the years strikes me as repetitive. You could easily get away with converting the second one to "that year".
 * Main setlist: In the last sentence of the first paragraph, a quote from Brian Bright has three quotation marks. One of them shouldn't be there, I'd imagine.
 * "Two songs, Alice Cooper's 'No More Mr. Nice Guy' and The Runaways' 'Cherry Bomb', were specifically re-recorded by the original bands for use in Warriors of Rock." Did Cooper play the song with a band? If not, the sentence is only half-true. In that case, "performers" or similar would be more accurate.
 * Importable content: "it was announced that thirty-nine of songs from Guitar Hero: Metallica would also be importable into the game".  Giants2008  ( 27 and counting ) 19:56, 24 November 2010 (UTC)
 * All corrected. (I don't know if it was Alice Cooper's whole band or just Cooper + others, so I used "performers" as suggested) --M ASEM  (t) 20:08, 24 November 2010 (UTC)
