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.

oh sweet! aerosmith made the cut! thank god.
Even if you were one of Aerosmith's greatist fans, this track list has got to piss you off for the songs it doesn't include. If you're not an Aerosmith fan, I wouldn't even look at this game.
Damn it I was hoping they would put all their well known #1 songs in this so they can piss off and stay out of all future GHs and RBs.
psh... revolution x had a better track listing than this. i'll pass, thanks.
They should have really switched Train Kept A Rollin' with a different song in a different spot.
Not really interested :/, i would play it somebody would lend it to me, but no way I'm spending my money on it.
they forgot aerosmith
fail!
I've never been a big Aerosmith fan... the only song I heard by them that I've enjoyed is Dream On, which isn't worth the price of the game. I think activision might learn their lesson when not a lot of people purchase this game :(
I'll just stick with Rock Band.
Gah, there is too much Aerosmith in this one...
@-PL-: No, it isn’t...especially since it was already released as free DLC for Guitar Hero III!
I've already played the game (Main tracklist only)...THIS SUCKS!!!
suprised they included "Mama kin" and "Pandoras Box". Unfortunately the only song off their original album is "Dream On".
Aerosmith's first 5 albums were great. Their "comeback" period (Permanent Vacation onward) is too ballad heavy and generally over-produced, corny, commercial crap.
oops, my bad. "Mama Kin" is off the debut album.
heres a link to the studio version (They've never been a good sounding live band):

awful
i fail to see the point in this
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
I'm goingg to go against the grain here. I like the track listing, and I liked the ol Aerosmith all the way through the first half of Get a Grip (ballads ftl). It should be interesting to hear the couple tracks that were re-recorded. Compare the original Dream On (why is that missing?!?!?) with how they sounded around Pump....I'll be picking it up.
I really hope they haven't deliberately missed a lot of songs just because they will use them in future guitar hero games.
No Dude looks like a lady?...are you for cereal?!
epic Epic Epic fail
I can get Dream On for GH3?
Fuck yes.
“Cat Scratch Fever” by Ted Nugent
"Walk This Way" by Run DMC / Aerosmith
"She Sells Sanctuary" by The Cult
Rock Band single pack plz?
Why penis why???
Not that I planned on getting it anyway, but that track list is a bit of a letdown.
Somewhere, Alicia Silverstone is weeping.
I agree 100% with Demios
That is the only reason to even consider playing this game.
@Calla
I second that statement.
No shit, I've been waiting for The Cult to come to Rock Band since the game's release.
No rock rhythm game has included any Cult? Tragedy.
-Jd
Yeah, they should just release the good tracks as a DLC pack in Rock Band. Just call it the Guitar Zero pack or something.
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!
NUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wait; weren't the White Stripes supposed to be in the game? LAME. Ah, well. Cat Scratch Fever will be worth fiddy bucks (or sixty, if you have now-gen.)
I really really really dislike Aerosmith. But I'm impressed that Mott the Hoople will be in the game.
Since Aerosmith has been my favorite band since I was a kid, I'm delighted about the game. Other than missing a couple of tracks (like Chip Away The Stone, Sick as a Dog, and Dude Looks Like a Lady), I feel it's solid.
No reason that these missing tracks and others can't be downloaded later, right?
This would be great if I were going into space to drill a hole in a big ass asteroid. But I'm not. Sadly I'm mainly interested in pretty much all the non-Aerosmith songs in this expansion.
heres to hoping the kinks song get this solo
SOLO TIME
Also needs "Lord of the Thighs," an Aerosmith Classic.
FAIL.
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.
We need some the cult
No.
what a waste
Maybe people will see what milkers Activi$ion is and stop looking forward to the impending disaster that is Guitar Hero: World Tour.
That drum kit is so gonna break the first day.
no desire to play this game at all
Oh my...can I say that I'm just waiting for Guitar Hero: Metallica. I honestly don't care for Guitar Hero anymore, but all they have to do is mention Metallica's name and I'm all over it. As long as it consists of their first four...maybe five albums, that is.
Do not want.
Meh. The only song I was looking forward at first to was "Walk This Way", and I'm not paying 50 bucks for five songs that I'll actually like.
Sorry, my money's staying put until GHIV comes out. >.>
now I'm even less interested in this game :p
What happened to At The Drive-in? I thought they were supposed to be in this.
::crosses fingers for One Armed Scissor in Rock Band::
Where is Eat the rich? that song was the reason why I would burn $50 on this game.
Aerosmith songs that shouldn't have been in the game:
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
I wonder if the game will have all the same menus and locations as GHIII with special Aerosmithy lighting...
fail.
