In addition to the hands-on preview that I did of Guitar Hero: Aerosmith, I posted a partial list of the songs that would be in the game -- the 25 tunes that make up its first five tiers. Now, thanks to VideoGamesBlogger, we’ve got the whole megillah for you fine folks: all 41 songs that will be playable in Activision’s upcoming tribute to the best-selling band out of Boston.
The entire list, including the names of the venues and the tiers, can be found after the jump (it’s organized alphabetically by song title). There are six tiers in all, with five songs per tier save for the last one -- it features as its sixth playable track a “Guitar Battle vs Joe Perry,” an original composition from the band’s lead guitarist. The ten bonus tracks comprise “The Vault”; all of them are either by Aerosmith or Joe Perry (he released a self-titled solo album in 2005).
VideoGamesBlogger was also nice enough to include links to YouTube videos for the songs when available, so you can at least find out what they sound like if you’re not familiar with them by name. Speaking of familiarity, when I showed the setlist to a friend who was on the fence about this game, he remarked, “A lot of notable singles were excluded.” What do you guys think?
Guitar Hero: Aerosmith will be out this Sunday, June 29th. If you’re thinking about buying it, hit up Hamza’s post for pricing details.

Aerosmith's first 5 albums were great. Their "comeback" period (Permanent Vacation onward) is too ballad heavy and generally over-produced, corny, commercial crap.
heres a link to the studio version (They've never been a good sounding live band):

erm it could have just been DLC an it woulda been cheaper as the target audience is prob very narrow,why not waste their time on gh4 coz that is where the money is
No Dude looks like a lady?...are you for cereal?!
Fuck yes.
"Walk This Way" by Run DMC / Aerosmith
"She Sells Sanctuary" by The Cult
Rock Band single pack plz?
Somewhere, Alicia Silverstone is weeping.
That is the only reason to even consider playing this game.
I second that statement.
No rock rhythm game has included any Cult? Tragedy.
-Jd
The guitar battle against Joe Perry isn't at the end, and the list's ordering of number is a bit mixed up in every tier. But screw it, no Cryin', no I don't wanna miss a thing. Wtf!
No reason that these missing tracks and others can't be downloaded later, right?
SOLO TIME
I'm a fairly big Aerosmith fan - what's w/ all the non-Aero songs in there? This would have been a perfect opportunity to include some lesser-known tracks like "Round and Round", or "No More, No More", and others like that. I appreciate the inclusion of "Combination" from "Rocks" (their best album), but this list is so incomplete. I was really looking forward to this, but I'm very disappointed in this.
That drum kit is so gonna break the first day.
Sorry, my money's staying put until GHIV comes out. >.>
::crosses fingers for One Armed Scissor in Rock Band::
No Surprize
Make It
Nobody's Fault
and Pink
Aerosmith songs that should have been in the game:
Baby Please Don't Go
Adam's Apple
Jaded
Shut Up And Dance
and Attitude Adjustment
