GH II: 360 exclusive tracks revealed [update 1]


Joystiq brings word that Guitar Hero II info is to be revealed today by TeamXbox. It is expected that they will confirm the March release of the game (just in time for tax season, yay!). Already revealed are 7 of the 10 exclusive Xbox 360 bonus tracks. These eight tracks are:
  • Billion Dollar Babies (Alice Cooper)
  • Dead! (My Chemical Romance)
  • Hush (Deep Purple)
  • Life Wasted (Pearl Jam)
  • Rock N Roll Hoochie Koo (Rick Derringer)
  • Possum Kingdom (Toadies)
  • Salvation (Rancid)
  • The Trooper (Iron Maiden)
While most of these songs will be typical covers, it's rumored that Dead! and Possum Kingdom will be the original recordings. So, let's ask the important question: are you ready to rock? We can't here you! We said are you ready to ROCK?!

On a side note, what tracks would you like to see available for download?

[Via Joystiq]

Update: Found a muppet, learned to count to eight.

3. More metal, metal never hurts and it's freaking awesome. Maybe some dream theater for the crazy or filter(I know thats not metal) or deftones or Nevermore. But they definatly need some deftones. Or steve vai, haha that would be funny. How bout some steel dragon. lol

5. What the hell is My Chemichal Romance doing in there? Thought the thing about Guitar Hero was rock not emo. Where is Led Zeppelin I ask?

Posted at 10:55AM on Jan 9th 2007 by Stuv

6. The Darkness, what the heck, they can put them in Karaoke Revolution, but not in this? What about Queen? Soundgarden? 311? eh, I'm just throwing names out there, just put Darkness in, I'll be happy.

7. I want to hear:
I'm a Barbie Girl - Oasis
I want it that way - Backstreet Boys
Bringing Gay Back - Justin Timbergay

I mean, I really want to hear:
Smoke on the Water - Deep Purple
Don't Fear the Reaper - Blue Oyster Cult
Momma I'm Comin' Home - Ozzy
Long Train Runnin' - The Doobie Brothers
For Those About to Rock - ACDC

Let's rock out. Ahh!

8. Have you heard My Chem's latest CD? I don't really classify that as EMO, in my opinion it one of the better rock albums of the year. It's definitly not METAL, but its a lot better than most of the tired B.S. that is getting put out by most bands these days.

How about adding some TOOL to the lineup for GH? Could you imagine playing "Ticks and Leeches?" Now that would be awesome!

Posted at 11:04AM on Jan 9th 2007 by Todd H.

9. Is Dragonforce asking for too much?

Posted at 11:09AM on Jan 9th 2007 by Mike Schramm

10. 3 inches of blood, slayer, darkest hour, the black dahlia murder. theres never to much metal

Posted at 11:18AM on Jan 9th 2007 by jake

11. please to be adding a song from these bands

Posted at 11:20AM on Jan 9th 2007 by jake

12. 1. extreem's "play with me"
2. acdc "thunderstruck"
3. Motley crue "kick start my heart"

in that order =D Screw emo bs !

Posted at 11:36AM on Jan 9th 2007 by d3m3nt3db3atz

13. Yes! I love Toadies! DOOOO YOU WANNA DIIIIEEE!

Posted at 11:46AM on Jan 9th 2007 by Sean benton

14. gunner, Smoke On The Water is in the original Guitar Hero. It's rumored that some of the first downloadable tracks will be the GH1 set, so you might get your wish right there.

If Maiden's The Trooper is actually in there, that's phenomenal, what a great track for GH! This is shaping up to be everything I've wanted and more, so I really, really hope that this is all true. Then it will have been worth the wait, and I can trade in the PS2 I bought specifically to play GH.

Harmonix rocks so hard. Now, if they can just produce a sequel to Amplitude... But I guess GH will do.

15. @1
I agree with you. I would love to see a track from TMBG, and Ana Ng would be a great one for it.
Oddly enough, my name is also Jonah.

16. The songs in the game are excellent and already fun, but I would still kill for some Metallica. I would love to play that in the middle of a store.

17. I'll second "Don't Fear the Reaper".

How about some Weezer? "Say it Ain't So" could qualify for the Opening Licks section, but there are a ton of Weezer tunes I'd be psyched to play. I also wouldn't mind a REAL Van Halen tune - "Hot For Teacher" would work for me.

Posted at 12:48PM on Jan 9th 2007 by Roy

18. "Big Bottom" by Spinal Tap. "Tonight I Wanna Rock Ya" is not enough.

Posted at 1:04PM on Jan 9th 2007 by Jonah Falcon

19. The world is about to end... Emo has made it into Guitar Hero.

Posted at 1:07PM on Jan 9th 2007 by FiredCylinder

20. @15. "Boss of Me" is another They Might Be Giants song with a boatload of guitar riffs, and more recognizable to the general public as the theme to "Malcolm in the Middle"

More song with great guitar riffs:

"Space Oddity", "Rebel Rebel", and "Fame" by David Bowie. (They already have "Ziggy Stardust" on GH1)

"Burning Down the House" by Talking Heads. Refresh my memory - is "Psycho Killer" on GH2?

"Working Girl" by Members.

"The Times, They Are A-Changin'" by either Bob Dylan or Simon & Garfunkel. Show some acoustic love!

"The Hero" by Queen (from "Flash Gordon"). Also from Queen: "Another One Bites the Dust" is perfect, as well as "Fat Bottomed Girls", "Crazy Little Thing Called Love", "Now I'm Here", "Seven Seas of Rhye", "Under Pressure", "Hammer to Fall", "Friends Will be Friends", "Princes of the Universe"... they could do a whole Queen Pack, really...

"You May Be Right" by Billy Joel.

"Thank You (For Lettinme Be Mice Elf Agin)" by Sly Stone....

Coming - going to check my whole Omigod! 7-disc 1980's song pack. ;)
