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.

misirlou on expert is going to be sweeeeeet.

on the other hand... what's heart shaped box going to be like? i don't think at any point in his career cobain's songwriting warranted the label "expert" (note: he still ruled)

There's a disturbing lack of this game on UK retailer websites. I fear another ludicrous wait before we Brits get it - just like with the first game frown

seriously looking forward to this.

harmonix could've released guitar hero II with no tweaks in gameplay at all, just new songs and I'd still happily buy it. as long as the improvements aren't like the improvements in the mini games in super monkey ball, then we're all kinds of good.
