Guitar Hero has already seen band specific incarnations with Aerosmith, Metallica and Van Halen and Activision probably won't be done there. Answering a fan's email [thanks Kotaku], Megadeth frontman Dave Mustaine indicates that his heavy metal group is in serious negotiations with the powers-that-be for Guitar Hero.
“I have recently had two very important high-level meetings with the people from Activision and Neversoft, and we are talking about a lot of things, but a Guitar Hero box set is not as attractive to me and the people from Guitar Hero as the new idea that they offered me, as the creative stuff that we are talking about is over-the-moon!” wrote Mustaine. “I just hope that someone doesn't stand in the way of this happening. I know that there are a lot of really damaging results from our mothership (Warner) having some legal disputes with YouTube and Guitar Hero to name just a few.”
Megadeth would seem like a natural fit for the next Guitar Hero, but it looks like they would have to overcome some (not trivial) hurdles first.
