Although GHIII is fine and you could probably survive being in Hot Topic, playing Guitar Hero III within the walls of a Hot Topic actual conscripts you into an emo band. It's true: A spectral version of Morrissey appears and eats all but .5 percent of your body fat, tears pre-caked in eyeliner spurt from your eyes and members of Jimmy Eat World chloroform you and force you to play bass. It's a nightmare.
If it's worth the risk to you you can see all the details here. But we think we'll stay at home and put our eyeliner on by ourselves, thank you very much.

Read Nothing Feels Good by Andy Greenwald to learn what emo was supposed to be about. Emo has nothing to do with eyeliner.
And I've never even seen a hot topic before. I get the feeling that I'm blessed.

I don't understand why people call that kind of music "rock".
Where are the high pitch voices, the guitar solos, the virtuosity in the intruments?
Fuck the new rock, fuck Nirvana, fuck MTV music.
As far as Hot Topic - I couldn't imagine going there to play in a tourney.
Embrace change, Fernando. It'll all be okay.
(Right now listening to Stryper... you should listen to them baby sea tuna, and learn to listen good music)
Music is always a matter of MTV or radio making one band huge and dozens of smaller bands mimicking their sound in order to ride the wave of popularity. Even *before* Nirvana, it happened with motown, it happened with rock, it happened with disco, it happened with new wave, and it happened with 80's metal.
And for the record, Stryper blew Jesus dick back then too.
Seems the only band I can recall from my Christian music days is Argyle Park. Which was more industrial than rock. Oh wait...Five Iron Frenzy...flipin SKA music...
And no I don't listen to Christian rock. Wasn't Creed Christian rock as well? Oh but they are 'New Christian Rock'?
It'll be funny though to see the throngs of 'preps' and 'nerds' and 'geeks' crowding a store for GH3 that they would never step foot in otherwise.

Joystiq may have found it today, but it was only announced on the community site yesterday. Not much more notice they could've given.

...im not kidding that i was listening to their new album as i read this.
and yes, jimmy eat world was 2nd wave midnineties emo, following fugazi, but that is as stated above, TOTALLY different from what emo is today. emo is not even a style of music anymore, bands that are catagorized as emo often are not similar at all. emo is a style. a trend. not a kind of music. not anymore.
jimmy eat world's first 2 albums were emo, with bleed american and forward being different and the emo tag having been dropped.
and to the one wondering how JEW is considered rock with the lack of guitar solos, you should really listen to them. they have a huge variety of sound, and if you want some cool solos, though nothing to compare to that of van halen, aerosmith, lynyrd skynyrd and the likes, look into their songs "pain," "get it faster(not actually a guitar solo i guess though, since the 2 guitars alternate)," "bleed american," "nothingwrong," and im sure you have heard "the middle." infact, just check out their 2001 album, "Bleed American." its got some rockin tunes and lyrics that give credit to great rock n roll.
sorry about that...i am very passionate about my favorite band.
and i agree, we need some motherfucking JOURNEY in guitar hero.
