Guitar Hero 2 Song List Finally Released

According to 1UP, EGM got an inside look at Guitar Hero 2, and reveals the following set list, which should elicit various forms of ZOMG!!11! from Guitar Hero geeks -- myself included -- everywhere.

# Nirvana; "Heart-Shaped Box"
# Primus (original recording); "John the Fisherman"
# Stone Temple Pilots; "Trippin' on a Hole in a Paper Heart
# Anthrax; "Madhouse
# Motley Crue; "Shout at the Devil"
# The Police; "Message in a Bottle"
# The Pretenders; Tattooed Love Boys
# Spinal Tap; "Tonight I'm Gonna Rock You Tonight
# Heart; "Crazy on You"
# Allman Brothers Band; "Jessica"
# Lynyrd Skynrd; "Freebird"
# Avenged Sevenfold; "Beast and the Harlot"
# Dick Dale; "Misirlou"
# Lamb of God; "Laid to Rest"
# Alice in Chains; "Them Bones"
# Reverend Horton Heat; "Psychobilly Freakout"
# Black Sabbath; "War Pigs"
# KISS; "Strutter"
# Butthole Surfers; "Who Was in My Room Last Night?"
# Van Halen; "You Really Got Me"
# Guns N' Roses; "Sweet Child O'Mine
# The Rolling Stones; "Can You Hear Me Knocking?"
# Rush; "YYZ"

Guitar Hero 2 will include all the features of Guitar Hero, but will add a co-op mode, where players can jam together choosing rhythm, lead, or bass guitar. The game advertises over 55 songs, and it's unclear whether these 22 songs are the entire set list of popular recordings, with the remainder being unlockable indie artists, or if there will be more tunes the young people will enjoy when the game is released in Rocktober.

On a personal note (yeah, because this entire story isn't one huge personal note, already) I am thrilled that one of my hoped-for songs, Miserlou, is included.

. . . ZOMG!!111!1eleventy!

Thank you for your indulgence.

that can't be the whole list, the original had 30 songs + unlockables, cutting the number for the sequel would be an appalling decision, so i look forward to the rest. that said, they could have just released it with Freebird and nothing else, and i'd still buy it biggrin
