The Touch from Transformers
The animated film from the 80's is coming out on GH:WT as a free download
It was the first film I ever saw at the cinema as a nipper, the track is great

Would have preferred it in RB. I almost sold GH:WT glad I did not now.

The Touch: Stan Bush Thanks Kotaku Readers For Their Support

Re: The Touch from Transformers
Great news, as this is an awesome track.

At a guess, the release of this DLC will probably tie in with the new Transformers movie, which will be out in late June. A video game of the movie is also due out at the same time and happens to be published by Activision, which would probably explain how this track ended up in Guitar Hero (for the record, I would have preferred Rock Band got it too).

Re: The Touch from Transformers
Well as long as they don't do a 3 pack consisting of:

"The Touch" (Performed by Stan Bush)
"Hunger" (Performed By Spectre General)
"The Transformers (Theme)" (Performed by Lion)

I might be able to resist (please someone do this 3 pack!!)

Re: The Touch from Transformers
This is some great news.

I only bought Rock Band but I think I might have to buy GH just to get this song.

Re: The Touch from Transformers
I got rid of GH:WT, at the same time vowing that I wouldn't be buying another of their games until such time that they do something about the now awful animated theme.

I'm probably gonna cave in and get GH:Metallica when that gets released, but now I see The Touch is coming as free dlc! I love that song, I even tracked down the OST for the animated movie!

No, and it's unlikely to be so for a while yet. My prediction is June.

Re: The Touch from Transformers
The Touch is out this coming Thursday (for free):

Quote:
Oh, and the DLC for May 28th will be a free single.

The free DLC will be:

Stan Bush's "THE TOUCH" !!!!!

If you don't know The Touch, then you obviously didn't see the 80's animated Transformers movie back in the day. Seriously. It is teh AWESOME. --- yes, misspelled on purpose people.

Since Transformers 2 will be coming soon to a theatre near you soon this summer, we thought we would offer up an awesome FREE single for Guitar Hero fans to enjoy. Also, keep an eye out, there are some special stuff we are doing around the DLC next week so keep looking out for more info!

Re: The Touch from Transformers
Hope it's a mistake, under different circumstances I would have probably bought it but knowing that it was meant to be free for so long puts me off on principle.

somebody else has pointed out it's NOT the 1986 original, it's the 2007 version that was re-recorded/redone for the live action movie release

Maybe a re-record due to crap sound quality of the original? That you tube vid sounds like the original to me.

no, probably the multi-track masters of the original aren't available so they used the 2007 version.

The solo and some of the guitar work is slightly different
