Knights of Cydonia (by Muse) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lmYeUj1bn_U ((OMG OMG OMG!!)) I can't get my jaw off the ground. Fanboy overload.
Rock And Roll All Nite (as made famous by Kiss) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YfFw...ted&search=
School’s Out (as made famous by Alice Cooper) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nA2UF1xwGP4

New announcements:

· Miss Murder (by AFI)
· 3's and 7's (by Queens of the Stone Age)
· Raining Blood (by Slayer)
· Reptillia (by The Strokes)
· Paranoid (as made famous by Black Sabbath)
· Cities on Flame (as made famous by Blue Oyster Cult)
· Mississippi Queen (as made famous by Mountain)
. One (by Metallica)

Two points of note - Reptilia is an overlap with Rock Band (a SWEET overlap) and Miss Murder is a fucking awesome song (I voted for it in the hottest 100 for last year). Rock Band looks awesome and I will buy it but fuck me if Guitar Hero 3 hasn't got an amazing lineup - I'm definitely buying the ps2 version without a guitar at least.

UPDATE! - Paranoid and Mississippi Queen are also in Rock Band.

Best reason to get GH2:

Oh Yeah! The Trogdor song has been my ringtone for a couple of months now. People at work think I'm nuts. BURNINATING THE COUNTRYSIDE! BURNINATING THE PEAS-ANTS! Rock Out!!!
Trogdor ROCKS HARD. And is a little difficult on expert, but I got through. Co-op For The WIN.
Hell yeah - first thing i did was get 5 stars on Woman on medium for the cash to unlock Trogdor. Have not played it on expert yet but hard is heaps of fun.
I got this for Christmas and did the exact same thing, Trogdor is the hardest song i have yet to encounter, ofcourse i am crap and cannot play above meduim

1. Opening Licks
Motley Crue - Shout at the Devil
Danzig - Mother
Cheap Trick - Surrender
Wolfmother - Woman This is totally awesome I was worried about the vocal track on this one (AS has a pretty unique voice) but it's actually really good.
Spinal Tap - Tonight I'm Gonna Rock You Tonight This was a bit of a laugh

2. Amp-Warmers
Kiss - Strutter http://www.gametrailers.com/umwatcher.php?id=15808
Nirvana - Heart-Shaped Box This is also totally awesome
Police - Message in a Bottle This is awesome
Van Halen - You Really Got Me This is more than totally awesome
Kansas - Carry on Wayward Son Might be just me, but this is an awesomes track - or are you guys playing on such high difficulties you're not getting the encores? I think you have to 5 star all the songs in the set to get encore? Concurred that this is a good song, although I think you do have different tastes to me - and no, I've got all the encores so far (cool feature btw), some with only 4 stars.

3. String-Snappers
Foo Fighters - Monkey Wrench awesome
Alice in Chains - Them Bones
Iggy Pop and the Stooges - Search and Destroy
Pretenders - Tattooed Love Boys
Black Sabbath - War Pigs Totally frickin awesome

4. Thrash and Burn
Warrant - Cherry Pie
Butthole Surfers - Who Was in My Room Last Night I am here. This song also rocks.
Mathew Sweet - Girlfriend
Rolling Stones - Can't You Hear Me Knockin'
Guns N' Roses - Sweet Child O' Mine

5. Return of the Shred
Rage Against the Machine - Killing in the Name Of
Primus - John the Fisherman
Sword - Freya
Thin Lizzy - Bad Reputation
Aerosmith - Last Child

6. Relentless Riffs
Heart - Crazy on You
Stone Temple Pilots - Tripping on a Hole in a Paper Heart
Stray Cats - Rock This Town
Allman Brothers - Jessica
Jane's Addiction - Stop

7. Furious Fretwork
Anthrax - Madhouse
Living End - Carry Me Home Found it! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xeKGCr6V5oU Yes this is as difficult as it sounds. But my bro and I beat it on expert (eventually).
Lamb of God - Laid to Rest
Reverend Horton Heat - Psychobilly Freakout
Rush - YYZ

8. Face-Melters
Avenged Sevenfold - Beast and the Harlot
Suicidal Tendencies - Institutionalized
Dick Dale - Misirlou
Megadeth - Hangar 18 Ok, so a few more tries and a bit of time in the practice mode got me through this 75% nightmare (and some ... bodacious use of starpower)
Lynyrd Skynyrd - Free Bird Comparatively easy. Only a few tries, and 5 minutes in practice mode trying to sort out how to approach one of the nastier solos
I have officially completed the game on expert. Now I have to do it all again, SLIDE GUITAR STYLE! :P
I realised I only had 3 songs left on Hard to 5 star, so I did 'em. Yay for "The Eyeball" guitar. Still have about 10 to 5 star on expert though.
i believe that the only difficulty above expert is behind-the-head
9. Bonus tracks
Freezepop This is so cool I preferred the Freezepop song from GH1, but yeah this is still cool.
Trogdor Also cool

I just found out that 'Living End - Carry Me Home' is THE Living End - so that's two modern Australian bands in there! Represent downunder peoples!

Also - Cherry Red Guitar Hero SG controllers!

Guitar Hero rocks HARD!

This game is serious fun. White Zombie's Thunderkiss 65 is my favourite song to play so far.

Ziggy Stardust for me!!! Go the Bowie.
I unlocked Ziggy Stardust last night and it is really fun. There is also something to be said for the pure 80's awesomeness of More Than a Feeling Totally agreed.
Seriously, all you guys without Playstations need to get one and buy Guitar Hero.

Ok, where is it availables and for how much? I'm finding this game ridiculously tempting. $130, so it's only $30 more than a regular game. It's totally worth every cent. You can get it at most places that sell games, EB will definitely have it.
rocking out! Now musical-ability can be impersonated through the use of colour coded goodness
Anyone want to make a "Don't worry guys, I'm a Guitar Hero" pic to go with the bf2 one? Some geeky guy climbing up on stage to help the band rock out, because he "can totally get 5 stars on Take Me Out".
Like this?

Yeah right. I'd like to see some shark being busted out with this one

They've got some good songs there - White Stripes, Muse, Rage Against the Machine, but they're missing a band that would be totally awesome in this game....Wolfmother
I found that freetar hero thing a few days ago - it seems cool, but theres no player available yet - just the editor.
It will be great when this gets further along in development becuase I'll be able to use my PS2 gamepad adapter to plug my Guitar Hero SG controller into my computer.
