Stuff Magazine confirms Michael Jackson, Interpol, and more for new Guitar Hero photo

Not just good for boobies and stories about men getting mauled by bears, Stuff Magazine has what appears to be hands-on impressions of Neversoft's upcoming Guitar Hero World Tour

Besides pictures of themselves playing the game and the basic "the new instruments feel good" drivel, the article also lists a handful of previously unannounced songs:

  • Interpol - "Obstacle 1"
  • The Doors - "Light My Fire"
  • Linkin Park - "In The End"
  • Michael Jackson - "Beat It"
  • Smashing Pumpkins - "Bullet with Butterfly Wings"

The list joins an already impressive set list of songs which feature tracks by Jimi Hendrix, Billy Idol, the Beastie Boys, and more. If retail releases lists are to be believed, we'll be playing these songs (and more) on October 26.

So, are any of these newly revealed tracks the tipping point for those already in the Rock Band camp?

<--- Not looking forward to the guitar solo in Beat It.

Also, who the hell listens to Interpol without falling asleep?

I for one can't wait....especially "In The End"...even though it's a very easy song on the guitar...and as a band in general. lol.

That's some good Pumpkins. But... child molester music? Really?

Then again, I never like the guy or his music to begin with.

Wasn't that guitar part (or at least the solo) by Eddie Van Halen?

Michael Jackson - "Beat It"

Oh my God...I just got a huge erection - which doesn't sound right when talking about something Michael Jackson related.

Yeah, that's Eddie all right. And that's also why I'm not looking forward to recreating his fret-mashing fury.

I love "Beat It" as much as anyone, but isn't there only like 2 super simple riffs in that entire song with the exception of that one incomprehensible guitar solo? I think that one's going to be a little boring to play unless you're singing it. Though it will admittedly be amazingly fun to sing.

I've been wondering when Harmonix would finally put "Bullet with Butterfly Wings" into Rock Band, but it seems that Neversoft has beaten them to it. Shame.

"That's some good Pumpkins. But... child molester music? Really?"

HURP DE DURP DURP DURP because Michael Jackson was never the premiere entertainer in America and an immediately recognizable symbol of pop culture, he was always a shamed man with a terrible reputation, right? So everything he ever did is immediately bad, right?

This fall I'm buying a box full of pretend instruments for my 360. Rock Band 2 or Guitar Hero I'm still not sure.

And while none of this songs really move me I'm still leaning more towards Guitar Hero

I'd rather they put Raintime's cover of Beat it in the game, it would be far more interesting to play I'd wot plus it sounds way better. But as it stands there are no songs that sway me either way, definitely not impressed. However GH:WTF has the song creation that I dig, and RB2 has the double kick that I've been bitching about. But seeing as I prefer the guitar I'll probably go with GH:WTF just because I can add my own music to it, I think theres already pre-created note charts for several of the songs I'd add.

Regardless, I'll probably end up having them both at some point.

More Smashing Pumpkins makes SWE3tMadness a very happy girl. :D

Not too excited about Linkin park though. Regardless of how you feel about the band itself, I just can't see any of their songs being that fun to play. (That goes for you as well, Rock Band 2. Tsk, tsk.)

I'm going to get both GHIV and RB2, but most likely the GH instruments.

I always thought "Beat It" would be a great song for a full band game. Oh well...I think I'm still sticking with Rock Band.

Personally, I'd rather have "P.Y.T." That's just me, though.

Bullet with Butterfly Wings? FUCK YES.

I can't buy this right away this fall, but I definitely plan to pick it up down the line.

Dammit, Guitar Hero got a better Interpol and Pumpkins song. Harmonix needs to release the 20 DLC list soon!

None of this will matter as soon as you people get a taste of some worthy music

@ Vexed Alex;

HAHAHA! ;OD

Yeah, seriously it is a shame that MJ has that rep. He's a great musician, but I usually think twice before purchasing any of his products new for fear of funding his habits. Honestly.
