With the release of Rock Band looming the Guitar Hero franchise is in desperate need of some killer tracks for their new title due before the end of the year. And while the tracks already announced were pretty cool on their own as individual songs i question how they will play out on the game itself...
So i here is the now updated list:
New Tracks -
Suck My Kiss - Red Hot Chili Peppers (Master)
La Grange - ZZ Top
Number Of The Beast - Iron Maiden (Master)
Through The Fire And Flames - Dragonforce (Master)
Previously Announced -
Alice Cooper - School's Out
Beastie Boys - Sabotage (Master)
Foghat - Slowride
Guns N' Roses - Welcome to the Jungle (Master)
Heart - Barracuda
Kiss - Rock N Roll All Nite
Living Colour - Cult of Personality (Master)
Muse - Knights of Cydonia (Master)
Pearl Jam - Evenflow (Master)
Priestess - Lay Down (Master)
Rolling Stones - Paint it Black (Master)
Smashing Pumpkins - Cherub Rock (Master)
Tenacious D - The Metal (Master)
The Scorpions - Rock You Like a Hurricane
Weezer - My Name is Jonas (Master)
With the addition of these new four i am almost certain to grab this sequel now, being the huge metal fan i am...ZZ TOP FTW TIME TO BREAK SOME BAR-STOOLS BOY!

The rest of the lineup looks awesome, too. A lot more of my favorites than the previous games - dragonforce, stones' paint it black, beastie boys, etc etc.
The inclusion of 'Barracuda' and 'Slow Ride' i think is genius, both amazing guitar songs but not hugely popular either. They were used in one of my other game franchises,Grand Theft Auto, namely San Andreas.
But one thing i noticed seeing the newer tracks, their not afraid to splash the cash now when it comes to giving the fans of the series what songs they demanded (Dragonforce being number 1 on alot of song wish lists)
Btw Demios, if you like Slow Ride and Sealab, you should definately watch Dazed & Confused, if you haven't already.
Jesus were these guys just playing GTA when they made this??? Perhaps they use Rockstar's amazing choice in soundtracks and leech from them...The Plot thickens methinks!
Ah, good, you guys have yer Dragonforce, maybe now they'll concentrate on putting other, GOOD music in the rest of the
game.
Theres a website asking plp to send in ideas of songs and their passing them onto Harmonix and could make it into Rockband.
