Grand Theft Auto VI is one of – if not the – most anticipated video game release of all time… and these rock and metal bands need to be included!

GTA VI won't come out until 2025, so Rockstar Games has plenty of time to add these songs. If we're keeping with the '80s, synth-heavy, party-all-night aesthetic, here are some essential tracks for GTA's return to Vice City.

Ghost

Ghost’s ‘60s era would be a perfect fit for GTA VI, so why not include their most-streamed song?

Perturbator

An obvious pick for you throwback synthwave lovers. Even the color scheme matches GTA.

Metallica

We all saw what “Master of Puppets” did for Stranger Things. Now imagine “Battery” in Grand Theft Auto.

Steel Panther

Perfect hedonistic driving music, don’t you think?

Body Count

We all know Ice-T won’t have to wait until 2025 to get his hands on GTA VI. Hell, he’s probably playing it right now. 

Slayer

Doesn’t Dave Lombardo’s cymbal work just make you want to commit crimes?

Fear Factory

We all remember Gary Neuman’s original in Vice City. Let’s get Fear Factory in the return.

Motörhead

The only way GTA VI could be more anticipated is if Lemmy was a playable character.

Misfits

I got somethin’ to say… add “Last Caress” to the damn game.

Iron Maiden

“Caught Somewhere in Time” just fits the bill. That ‘80s neon aesthetic is begging for some Iron Maiden.

Ultraboss

In case you’ve never heard of Ultraboss, here’s some killer synthwave metal.

Carpenter Brut

This shit goes so hard… pedestrians be damned.

Godflesh

Something about the filthy, industrial sound of Streetcleaner just screams “crime spree.”

Megadeth

We’ve all got an alter ego that comes out while playing GTA. Just leave it in the game, okay?

Twisted Sister

There’s nothing that “We’re Not Gonna Take It” doesn’t make better. Well, expect for political rallies.

Black Sabbath

“People think I’m insane because I’m running over hookers all the time.”

Rob Zombie

If GTA VI adds a drivable Dragula to the game we’ll be forever in Rockstar’s debt. 

Mötley Crüe

The perfect ‘80s metal anthem for the excess of the age. GTA VI needs those Mick Mars licks. 

Deep Purple

The greatest driving song ever? Crank up this song when you’re being chased by tanks and helicopters. 

Judas Priest

Do we really need to explain?
