Every Guitar Hero World Tour rumor is true: Sting and Tool tracks confirmed

Every Guitar Hero World Tour rumor is true: Sting and Tool tracks confirmed photo
     Xbox 360

At this point, I think it's pretty safe to say that just about every single bit of leaked information about Guitar Hero World Tour is 100% true. With the release of the game just around the corner (rumored for late-October, probably also true), info is being confirmed almost daily.

USATODAY.com ran a now-missing story yesterday confirming that The Police frontman Sting did a motion-capture session for the game. Sting joins Ozzy Osbourne, Travis Barker, Billy Corgan, and Paramore's Haley Williams as the confirmed list of celebrity talent for World Tour; the article made no mention of what Sting or The Police songs would appear in the game. The Police song "Demolition Man" will appear in the game. (Thanks SWE3tMadness!)

The article did confirm songs for World Tour however stating that "metal band Tool plans to have three songs ("Parabola," "Schism," and "Vicarious") playable in a specially created venue." This jives with the leaked screenshots that popped up online not long ago. 

Any other World Tour rumors someone would like to throw out into the universe before the game comes out? They'll all be true! Here's one: Morris Day and the Time have nineteen songs in the game and First Avenue & 7th Street Entry confirmed as a venue. 

[Update: We've added a picture of Sting in-game. That is Sting, right?]

Welp, that's it. I'm most likely going to buy GH:OT over RB 2.

Fuck yeah, I've been waiting for tool in GH/RB for yonks. Drums are going to be fun as fuck. Good song choices too, too bad there's no lateralus though. Also, hopefully will be the full version of parabol/a.

I'll wait which one will be better, game-wise. It's not like they are coming out in Europe any time soon, are they?

Police is always good, and I'm happy for everyone who wanted Tool. But a venue just for Tool? That's...kind of stupid

I love how you have to write "Paramore's Haley Williams," because if you just write "Haley Williams," nobody will know who you're talking about.

Awesome, glad they got these songs out of the way. This leaves good Tool songs for future Rock Band DLC.

Why release Vicarious and Schism together? They are practically the same song

Man, now I really wanna get this. I'll just use my ol' Rock Band instruments and my GH3 guitar, though I might upgrade to the GH drums if they work in Rock Band.
