More of Guitar Hero 5's 85-song setlist has been announced, and includes a slew of artists new to music gaming, as well as a few exclusives.
Of note, Public Enemy and Zakk Wylde have teamed up for a remake, "Bring The Noise 20XX," exclusive for Guitar Hero 5. Additionally, AFI's upcoming single "Medicate" will premiere on the game disc, in advance of the band's upcoming album, Crash Love.
Billy Idol's "Dancing With Myself," also makes an appearance, which means I can stop singing it into my hairbrush every morning. The newly announced tracks, along with a new trailer, can be found after the jump.
I'm always one to talk up Gorillaz with animalistic fervor, but I just don't think Guitar Hero is really the best place for it to crop up in the music world. Play That Funky Music cropping up is just about the best thing ever, however.
Bleh. I was hoping Gorillaz would show up in Rock Band first, since the idea of a virtual band being played by a virtual band always entertained me. There's a decent chunk of artists and songs I'd like to see on my Rock Band screen one day.
*sigh* Sadly, this track list is fncking incredible.* Which means I've pretty much already pre-ordered and fully paid for this game, even though I hate everything about it. . . but the track list.

Heh, I think I actually [url=http://www.destructoid.com/blogs/SWE3tMadness/video-links-for-almost-all-of-the-guitar-hero-5-announced-setlist--140861.phtml]beat you to it]] this time around, Nick.
Peter Frampton, Rush, and A Perfect Circle all make me very happy, but still not happy enough to buy the game at full retail price when it comes out.
Hey, that's some pretty impressive work over there in your Cblog. You link was broken in the comment, so I'll do it again for you. Anyone reading this can and should find it here.
I'm surprised you say you don't know half of the songs. I'd say this set list is pretty strong!
I feel like I've seen a good number of these songs as already confirmed for the game...maybe it was one of those rumor-lists.
Anywho...I'd be tempted to get this game if Activision's DLC releases were on-par with Rock Band's. Or if they'd just stop releasing discs that should be DLC...I kinda feel ashamed for buying GH: Metallica and supporting their plans to screw over GH fans.

"Half" was a bit of a hyperbole on my account, the number should be closer to about 75%. >.>
Eh thanks :)
