U2 Guitar Hero?

Scouring the gaming news this morning- I noticed that Kotaku reported on a rumor that Activision could release a Guitar Hero “U2” themed game. It's probably a good thing this isn't in the Rock Band format, my rendition of "Lemon" would probably sevrely hurt the eardrums of those in the same room.

So let’s explore the possibilities of a U2 Exclusive Guitar Hero game:

Costumes
• Young Bono, Adam, Larry, Edge
• Joshua Tree/Rattle and Hum, give me the Bono mullet!
• Achtung Baby/Zooropa, Macphisto, The Fly and Mirrorball Man
• POP, short hair Bono and the Muscle T-Shirt!

Venues
• Small Club Gigs
• Something very similar to Red Rocks in Colorado
• Joshua Tree tour stage
• ZooTV tour stage
• Popmart tour stage
• Elevation tour stage (definitely the heart)
• Vertigo tour stage

Ten Songs this game MUST include:
1. Zoo Station
2. The Fly
3. Acrobat (PLEASE!!!!)
4. Where the Street Have No Name
5. Bullet the Blue Sky
6. Discotheque
7. Gone
8. Stay (Faraway, so close)
9. Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me
10. Lemon

I’m probably a little overambitious in my requests. Most likely they will just plug some U2 MP3’s in the Guitar Hero machine and crank out the most uninspired Guitar Hero cash-in to date. The sad thing is, I’ll be first in line to buy this.
