Okay, so maybe they don't look all that elated to hear about Nirvana's inclusion in Guitar Hero: On Tour, but we struggled to contain our glee upon reading that Kurt and co. would be appearing in the game (despite some reservations about how it actually plays). We consider ourselves experts, don'cha know.Nirvana will be joined by west coast warblers No Doubt and OK Go, but there's no news on which songs will feature. That said, we're going to go out on a limb and suggest that the OK Go song will be the only OK Go song that anybody knows anything about. Bet we're not wrong.
We'll be able to play as one of six characters, and there'll be five different venues for us to get kicked off stage at. Don't think the DS's other features are getting neglected, either -- the microphone can be used to "extinguish a pyrotechnics effects gone wrong," (hark, do we hear the sound of barrels being scraped?) and it's possible to autograph the shirts of your adoring fans in the middle of a set (which actually sounds quite novel).

I might be alone on this, but i think this looks pretty cool. When hearing rumors I had some serious doubts (and I still have some doubts--though less severe), but I think the GBA port thing is pretty clever.
Am I alone?

No, you're not. Although I'm hpoing for some better bands (Nirvana's the only one I sorta like out of those) I think it's pretty clever.

I bet you are wrong. The OK Go song in the video was CLEARLY "Do What You Want," not "Here It Goes Again." Now, I'm just going to go out on a limb and say that they are using "Do What You Want," just from, y'know, actually watching the video.

Meh, I'm not a big No Doubt fan. But so far, the other details being reported sound AWESOME!
