Obviously, the soundtrack in a music game can make or a break a title, and Neversoft proved they could deliver the killer tunes with their solid Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock track list. Based on what we saw at a first-look press event a few weeks ago, it looks like they’re on track to impress again with the soundtrack for their multi-instrument Guitar Hero: World Tour.
While we didn’t go hands-on with the game, three songs were demonstrated live -- Foo Fighter’s "Everlong," Sublime’s "Santeria," and Billy Idol’s near-perfect 80s rock track, "Rebel Yell." The game’s 85-or-so-song soundtrack will be completely comprised of master tracks from what Neversoft is referring to as "triple-A acts." While Activision will only let us also say that tracks by Linkin Park, The Eagles, and Van Halen will also be included in the game, we did see and hear some other selections that are sure to impress. We were certainly impressed.
Also revealed were Neversoft’s plans for downloadable content, which will include an in-game music store that will be added to the game via an update shortly after launch.
"I can’t give you any specifics," Neversoft's Brian Bright told us, "But we are working hard towards supplying a steady stream of downloadable content from big-name bands at launch, and as we move forward. [DLC is] one of the big priorities for Guitar Hero: World Tour." Look for more Guitar Hero: World Tour coverage from Destructoid all day. |

PANAMA!!
I want to see the notes, though. GH3 pissed me off by randomly adding notes where they weren't any in reality. Rock Band didn't do that, and that was why I moved to it - even for just Guitar.
GOD DAMMIT. I don't want to have to buy another $100+ just so I can get my Santeria on :-(
@ElfAngel7
Lol. Dude, remember 61 inch TV. Or if anything, you got Christmas. Or something else. Heh.
But yea, when I found out that this song was in it, I was in shock cause I was thinking about it in the car the other day while listening to it on the radio. Glad they're adding this in the game, along with Linkin Park, AND FREAKIN DREAM THEATER! Can't wait to get my hands on this game and shred my lights out. =)
Dammit, I want me some Billy Idol....
S...S...Santeria?
Fuck you. Now I have to get 180 bucks.

How about including it on the disc, guys?
Seriously, that statement is so fucked up.
finally someone puts the good foo fighters song
everlong is the best one
Santeria! Woohoo!
And if that Eagles track isn't Hotel California, there are going to be some very pissed rock fans paying Activision a visit. >.>
Although, frankly, there's a bunch of Eagles songs that would be great for Rock Band, but Hotel California is still the best.
Everlong ay? Hmm, conflict... Its my favourite Foo's song, but i can play it for real (one of the few songs i can) so i kinda wish it was something else... drums will be fun though. Dammit, the world tour thing is looking far too good.
Do we get a sweet Billy Idol guitarist wig with pre-order? If so, I'm all over it!
I'll buy it anyways...Just for the user created songs and ability to do more than RB for the same cost.
Oh my god, Santeria and Everlong?? If they can swing some Led Zep I'm definitely sold.
I think I've been playing this game in my head forever.
Looks like Neversoft is mounting a full scale assault on rock band. I'm liking where this is going.
Everlong and Santeria = DO WANT
