i think the reason its done like that is that guitar hero wants to maintain the fact that its a harder game, and so also make sales to those who want a challenge.
either that or their retarded, and neversoft has made some decent games, so i'd say its the former.

A lot of good party songs here. Also, having both Freezepop Guitar Hero songs(especially Get Ready 2 Rokk) makes me smile.

Rockband has good variety though. I mean, out of their 800 songs, there's something for everybody.

Well
They're Beatles songs
Beatles weren't face melters, they were just really unique and trend setting
It's not supposed to be hard. Unless you want them to add in random notes that weren't in the song, like Guitar Hero.

@fret:
sometimes you could honestly hear the chords and they just put single notes in it really annoyed me.
its a decent game but really underwhelming.
