Sandman9000 0 Report post Posted August 23, 2006 Along with "Freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeebird". Minus a couple "e's". From a post at the Guitar Hero forums, "Killing In The Name" is in there as well, beaten on expert by a tester who played with his back to the screen. Either way, I'm still fucking pumped for this game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slayer 0 Report post Posted August 23, 2006 "Sweet Child O' Mine" and "Killing in the Name" are good choices, with my only concern being whether they use the original versions or not, because I have my doubts about getting a good cover vocalist to mimic Axl or Zack, since a bad cover vocalist can really spoil a song (see "Ace of Spades") "Freebird" - boo, I hate this song, largely due to it's ever-present spot on classic rock stations' daily playlists Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest BOOT Report post Posted August 23, 2006 I don't know most of these songs, but 'Killing in the Name' should be cool. I assume 2 will have as least as many songs in it as the original. More would be better, but if there are more parts to play in each track i'll let them off. I've still got the last two songs to do on expert on the original. Haven't tried 'Bark at the Moon' yet, as I keep messing up 'Cowboys from Hell' and getting agitated. Struggled with the opening riff at first, but can now do it fine, although not perfect. However, when it comes back to the exact same thing a second time I always fuck it up. My timing just seems to go to shit and once i'm off, it's so fast I can't get it back. Bah.

Guest Ninja Report post Posted August 23, 2006 You can watch clips of "Sweet Child O' Mine" and "Freebird" on Gamespot. The vocals on "Sweet Child O' Mine" aren't too great , but I'll live. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Special K 0 Report post Posted August 23, 2006 Freebird is going to be insanely frustrating, since it's like 9 minutes long, and only gets hard after about halfway through. Every time you lose to that long-ass solo on extra, you're going to have to go through that looonnnngggg intro section. I expected it to be on there, though.

Sandman9000 0 Report post Posted September 4, 2006 Something I just noticed: Drist's "Arterial Black", one of the first songs announced, isn't on the list. If that isn't a typo, I'm wondering if Marcus Henderson's (who did guitar work for the first and second game) leaving the band lead to the song getting pulled, or something along those lines.

Slayer 0 Report post Posted September 4, 2006 The major rumor bits I've seen have it as being up in the air, with no confirmation as to it remaining or going. Shame if it gets pulled though... while I can't find the full song, I liked what I heard in the preview video, and I'd definitely take it over shite like A7X or LOG Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Opening Licks: Strutter - Kiss Mother - Danzig Monkey Wrench - Foo Fighters Shout At The Devil - Motley Crue Tonight I'm Gonna Rock You Tonight - Spinal Tap Amp-Warmers: Heart Shaped Box - Nirvana Message In A Bottle - Police Woman - ?Wolfmother* You Really Got Me - Van Halan (Kinks) Carry On Wayward Son - Kansas String Snappers: Surrender - Cheap Trick Them Bones - Alice in Chains Search and Destroy - ?The Stooges* Tatooed Love Boys - The Pretenders War Pigs - Sabbath Thrash and Burn: Cherry Pie - Warrant Who Was In My Room Last Night - Butthole Surfers Girlfriend - ?Darkness, maybe Mathew Sweet* Can't You Hear Me Knocking - Rolling Stones Sweet Child of Mine - Guns N' Roses Return of the Shred: Killing In The Name - Rage Against The Machine John The Fisherman - Primus Freya - ?Sword* Bad Reputation - ?Thin Lizzy, maybe Joan Jett* Jessica - Allman Brothers Relentless Riffs: Crazy On You - Heart Trippin On A Hole In A Paper Heart - Stone Temple Pilots Rock This Town - Stray Cays Last Child - Aerosmith Stop - ?Janes Addiction* Furious Fretwork: Madhouse - Antrhax Already confirmed songs: Hangar 18 - Megadeath Laid to Rest - Lamb of God Misirlou - Dick Dale Beast and the Harlet - Avenged Sevenfold Freebird - Lynrd Skynrd YYZ - Rush. Psychobilly Freakout - Rev. Horton Heat As me and Slayer might be the only ones who care, there is no Arterial Black in this list. I would garner that they're out of the game due to Marcus Henderson leaving. However, I'd have no problem being wrong in this case. EDIT: I just C'n'P the list. Obviously I know how to spell Anthrax, but Joystiq doesn't. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ced 0 Report post Posted October 7, 2006 PS2 exclusive like the original unless plans have changed. YYZ is pretty nuts on Hard. I haven't played for awhile so the hammer-on and pull-off sections are giving me trouble. And the new animation they added whenever you blow a combo, where the whole playing surface quickly turns black and shakes, throws me off alot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
