Guitar Hero.

Recommended Posts

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.

"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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

MTV may be ran by boobs, but this means profit for you!

 

http://www.joystiq.com/2006/10/05/guitar-h...h-danzig-et-al/

 

An unofficial song list, since artists haven't been confirmed, but as close to one as we're gonna get before we drop the "un" part there.

 

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.

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.

First YouTube videos are starting to show up. "YYZ" seems to be the early favorite off the demo. Here it is in co-op:

. Done by a guy with the screen name "Echelar". You oughta check out his other GH videos. If he's not the best player out there he's probably one of the top 5.

I think I've decided to wait for the 360 version of GH2, but I'll be playing the hell out of the PS2 demo. Heck, I might break down and buy GH2 for the PS2 at a good price then get the 360 version as well.
