Almost Complete Set List for Guitar Hero II 52
Wowzer writes "MTV's Overdrive game site show G-Hole got a preview of Guitar Hero II for the PS2. MTV wasn't supposed to share the song names they saw, though, and they were quick to remove the new song names from the video. Lucky for us all 38 Guitar Hero II songs were captured at VideoGamesBlogger. From the article: '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.'" The article points out that between the songs listed here and previously announced tracks, there are only two songs as yet unrevealed.

But from what I've played of the first GH game, the vocalist on "Take Me Out" [wikipedia.org] sounded very little like Alexander Kapranos, the lead singer of Franz Ferdinand [wikipedia.org].

I was just listening to some Brian Setzer the other night, and thought he'd make a good addition to the game. I'm happy to see some Stray Cats on there...

Not true at all. I'm a guitarist (on both cllasical and electric guitar) and I'd bet that, if all the folks who were in the same music school where I was would spend as much time playing guitar as they did playing games, they'd be playing quite well after two months AT MOST. There are many simple songs, and improvements usually come from one day to another, with periods of

Bullshit. Nobody is going to be nailing Dimebag Darrell or Randy Rhoads or Stevie Ray Vaughn solos after 2 months of guitar practice. And anyway, you're talking about music school kids, but guess what, Guitar Hero is for everybody!

with a real guitar you can play everything you want, anytime. and as a bonus you strengthen your wrists and fingers which is a good thing and helps if you have rsi.

I do hope that they will at least include a grading system into the game. I still prefer Konami's Guitar Freaks over Guitar Hero, mainly just because it has a grading system that makes it a bit more rewarding than just having a hit or miss timing to the notes.

Re: (Score:1)
Yeah, a percentage on hit notes, but there isn't a timing to the hits you receive - say, rather than getting a hit or miss on a note, your hit is graded according to how accurately you hit it. Just like in DDR you have Perfects and Greats.

#. Feedback (GH has a scoreboard.)
#. Instruction (GH needs less, but has it in the tutorials)
#. Positive Reinforcement (Finishing a song and "winning")
#. With GH, you don't have to know how to read music.
You can get all of those on the real thing from a *good* guitar teacher, but then it's going to cost you a metric ass-tonne more than $70 for GH[2].

Dude, I love Hackett's style, but I'm only familiar with him from Genesis, haven't checked out his solo stuff yet. I have heard the re-recorded sessions he did with John Wetton, doing old Genesis and Krimson tunes, and it blew my mind. Anyone who thinks that it was Gabrial who put the prog into Genesis should be shot (no offense to Peter), it was Hackett all along... hence great stuff like Los Endos.
That said, I don't think there's much hope for Hackett, I think you're more likely to see Steve Howe on the

What would be really cool is a way to import or even buy (for a low low price) tracks that you are actually interested in.
What I thought was the best idea was "genre" Guitar Hero add on packs, like 30+ songs from different eras (70s, 80s, etc) or genres like rock, blues, psychedelic etc.
And of course classics, like a stones GH or a Pink Floyd GH.
oh well..

Or permission to use the songs? You know how gung ho Sony is with DRM, so maybe they tied Harmonix's hands on music selection?
