Closing out last night's Activision 'not, E3' press conference, Neversoft performed and confirmed Van Halen's "Hot for Teacher" in Guitar Hero: World Tour.
The track, with its blindingly fast drums intro and blazing guitar solo, looked mesmerizingly difficult. Also confirmed (via in-game menus and music) were Smashing Pumpkin's "Today," The Beastie Boys' "No Sleep 'Til Brooklyn," and Paramore's "Misery Business."
Speaking of Paramore, lead singer Hayley Williams was on hand to prove that she's both short and young, in addition to announcing that she'd be included as a "playable" avatar in the game. She joined drummer Travis Barker, who will also appear in the game, along with other unannounced celebrities and musicians.
Some of this confirms information that was leaked via an online survey not too long ago. Other musicians rumored to make an appearance include Sting, Ozzy Osbourne, Ted Nugent, Zak Wylde, and Billy Corgan.

World Tour is looking solid to me right now, but I'd be lying if I didn't admit character customization is the one thing I'm looking forward to most.
someone cblog that rock band instruments would work w/ this game. if thats the case, i might actually get to play it.
Anyways, it is cool to have avatars of current musicians instead of just the classics. Of course, "musician" is used very loosely in this context.
They just need to put a new update to GH3 for it XD
We all know that Haley is TOTALLY in the same leagues as people like Ozzy and Sting.
Can't wait for Hendrix to be replaced by Pete Wentz.
RB2 tracklist just didnt do it for me...
i dont care about making songs and crap
(i just wanna sing
and karaoke just doesnt do it for me)

It's nice to see Guitar Hero's gone back to inspiring "meh"s.
