For months, Red Octane and Activition have been tantalizing our taste buds with tastes of what was likely to be on the set list of the latest installment of the phenomenally successful Guitar Hero franchise.
Well! Now we have it!
A Ginourmous list of 86 songs (as well as, presumably the ability to download more songs later) including (yes, previously talked about) Ozzy Osbourne and his associates at Ozzfest, old classics such as Hendrix, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Sex Pistols and The Doors, however, it more heavily features popular bands of today, from alternative juggernauts Modest Mouse to progressive bangers such as the Mars Volta and Dream theater (OMFG YES!) as well as a couple of questionable artists….
Gameplay Vid from Gamespot’s E3 08 Show – Rebel Yell!
Anouk? Blondie? Los Lobos (la la la la bamba)? Michael Jackson (I love him, but this ain’t rock)?
Seems that they made the decisions to desperately grab at those nostalgic about 80s Pop and techno.
I assume with the set list confirmed Guitar Hero World Tour will be going gold soon (if not already). Release date is scheduled for October 26th! Be prepared to camp out to get one – this one’s going to be popular.
It’s set to come out in three packs
- The “Super Bundle” which contains the drum kit, guitar and mic as well as software is PS3: $329.95, X360 $329.95, Wii: $319.95 and PS2: $299.95
- The “Guitar Bundle” a la original Guitar Hero (guitar and software) is PS3: $169.95, X360: $169.95, Wii: $159.95 and PS2: $149.95
- Just the game, for those who already have guitar controllers and have no intention of singing or drumming (COME ON!!! ARE YOU SERIOUS!!!!) is PS3: $89.95, X360: $89.95, Wii: $79.95 and PS2: $69.95.



Please Note: These plastic instrument look-alikes are not to scale. You will not be able to hold the drum kit in one hand, conversely, you will not have a microphone the size of your right leg.
