With Guitar Hero World Tour's rumored October release date quickly approaching, that can only mean one thing: we'll soon be cleared of rumored songs for the high-anticipated game. But until Activision and Neversoft decided to come clean, here we go ...
The latest issue of the Official Xbox Magazine has revealed a handful of tracks, some of which had previously only been rumored. Songs include Dinosaur Jr's "Feel the Pain," Lost Prophets' "Rooftops," Nirvana's "About a Girl," and The Doors' "Love Me Two Times." The OXM article also reveals some in-game venues, including The House of Blues and Amoeba Records.
As a fan of plastic instrument rock games, my personal anticipation for World Tour and its competitor Rock Band 2 is at an all-time high. But does anyone else find that a lot of the song-overlap between the two games to be a bit curious? If both games have a comparable and strong setlist, what are the features that are going to truly set them apart?
The full list of songs revealed in the OXM article can be found after the jump.

and B) compatibility with most of the songs from the first game.
Guitar Hero has it's music creation, but I'd rather have my 100+ professional tracks than some eh-meh-decent ones made by some guy in Topeka, Kansas.
For new comers to both games, I think the GH branding and (if they focus on it) the advertising for the music creation will sway people. After all, it does kinda fix the complaint that you dont create aything with these games, you just copy...
I will probably buy this game with the instruments, since I already own the Rock Band's and they are basically they same.
And while both games have similar soundtracks, I think GHWT is better because it has more innovative features, (even though Activision copied Harmonix the idea of the "Full Band Game"). Rock Band is more of the same (which is a good thing), but it is just a pretext to sell a disc with more songs and a psychedelic effect. They might as well put the new songs as DLC. GH has received a lot of criticism recently mainly because many considered GHIII the worst of the franchise, but we all know that this new GH has a lot of potential and the drums look awesome!
Rock Band disc.
Guitar Hero disc.
Guitar Hero guitar.
If any cash is left- ION Drums.
While the Stratocaster looks infinitely cooler, I'm just too used to my GH controllers.
You smug bastards in the north should...well...keep being smug. :P
Honestly I dont understand why Guitar hero gets so much hate or why Activision is considered to have completely ruined the franchise. I think guitar hero 3 was a respectable entry. It had more songs than any GH game before it, and introduced an online mode (which, granted, could have been a bit more functional). The only real criticism of it is the fact that many of the note charts were needlessly difficult when played on expert mode. I dont consider this criticism to be worthy of rendering the game terrible. Also, is it so hard to believe that activision could take this criticism into consideration and address the problem for future installments?
But I'm looking forward to more Metal being revealed
Same reason they argue about how much better their console is over all others, because they're stupid. Me, I have both of the old music games and I'll both of the new music games. There will be specific things I like, specific things I don't like, but they'll both be fun.
