Freebird in Guitar Hero 2

In what may be the greatest Guitar Hero news yet, a video of Lynyrd Skynyrd's Freebird has appeared on YouTube. Playable. Freebird. Dude. Out of all the tracks that have been announced thus far, this is the only one I am so drooling over.

Wouldn't it be awesome if there was an unlockable, 15 minute version of the song, where the lead guitar has no set notes so you just get really, really high and rock the hell out?



Tracks confirmed for the next installation of Guitar Hero thus far are:

• Arterial Black - Drist (original track as a bonus song)
• Free Bird - Lynyrd Skynyrd
• John The Fisherman - Primus (original track)
• Madhouse - Anthrax
• Psychobilly Freakout - The Reverend Horton Heat
• Shout at the Devil - Mötley Crüe
• Strutter - KISS
• Sweet Child O' Mine - Guns N' Roses
• Trippin' on a Hole in a Paper Heart - Stone Temple Pilots
• War Pigs - Black Sabbath
• Who Was in My Room Last Night? - The Butthole Surfers
• You Really Got Me - The Kinks, as performed by Van Halen
• YYZ - Rush

And there is also talk of Rage's Killing in the Name being added to the list. In total, Guitar Hero 2 will feature 55 playable songs. It is due out November 7th, for the PS2 with rumors of a 360 appearance.

Sweetness.

But I thought they didn't want to really play Freebird? They weren't just heckling me?

Well when most people think about "You really got me" they typically think Van Halen.

I think instead of "most people" you meant to say "I".

Wow, RevHo making it into a video game? Who woulda thunk? And their manager got all pissy when I asked them to play my wedding. Ah well, I still might buy the game just to experience that. I never thought I'd see the sell-out of psychobilly.

If you prefer the Val Halen version over The Kinks, you should be shot. Twice. And then again. And then buggered.

It's a guitar game so they pick the version of the song with a better guitar part. The kinks version would be pretty boring in guitar hero.

That just means my GF is gonna be really fuckin' sick of me, and that song, after I've hacked through it 6-7 times in a row on expert trying to get throught the solo.

Hopefully, she'll have forgotten all about it after the 6-7 time throught sweet child o'mine.

EVIL MINDS THAT PLOT DESTRUCTIIIOOOOONNNNN

if it weren't for freebird, which is totally going to be one of the last songs, i'd probably just unlock up to the point where War Pigs is playable and stop there. forever.

They've got some pretty good ones on there, I'm just as interested in You Really Got Me and Sweet Child O' Mine.

Yay! A progeny ballad of racist redneckery available in another form for the masses to devour and absorb into their empty brains. (bounce)
