The Xbox 360 version is going to have an entirely different model of controller.

Also, I've heard tell that "Wayward Son" by Kansas has been confirmed.

[apsham]

That'll be fun poking me in the ribs... no thank you... I think that I will stick with the PS2 version, the way I hold it sometimes is far better with the PS2 controller.

[Tarheels.]

I love the 360 controller. The normal SG is good, even though mine for PS2 is broken, but the Explorer model should be a nice change, I'd consider getting it for 360 if I get one.

[The Dork Knight]

I swear, the lineup of songs looks awesome. I really hope they can try and get a song by Bad Religion again this year.

[GoGo Yubari]

The cover of "Heart Shaped Box" is... terrible! No one can be Kirk Cobane but this guy isn't even close. I do agree however that the cover of "Message in a Bottle" is pretty good.

Yeah, Kirk Cobane sure is rolling in his grave, there.

Misirlou sounds... odd. Like, I really don't remember a single part of that song that sounded like that.

[Fanku Kaibutsu]

Yeah, that's what I thought when I heard Misirlou. Maybe... the 'Pulp Fiction Theme' is only a part of the song that isn't in the first 30 seconds? Maybe?

[Fanku Kaibutsu]

Apparently, the promotional cardboard stand-ups at gamestops have a list of songs, some of which have yet to be officially announced. Those are:

Killing In The Name Of

Mother

Woman

Rock This Town

Band names aren't given. Killing In The Name Of and Rock This Town are obviously RATM and the Stray Cats. Mother is conjectured to be either Danzig or Pink Floyd(Personally, I don't know nothin' bout Pink Floyd, so can't comment). and Woman is suggested to be by Wolfmother or Pink Floyd also.

I got this news from gamefaqs message board. I know, not the best source of news, but they guy who claimed it had digital camera images to back him up, so...

Also, according to wikipedia, one of GH2's bassists said on his myspace page that one of the bassists which he had to cover for GH2 was Flea, so if that's true there's another RHCP song in GH2. Hopefully, it'll be Soul To Squeeze .

[GoGo Yubari]

"Woman" is probably by Wolfmother because the EGM article on Guitar Hero II mentioned that there was a song on it that is still on the airwaves right now.

And Fanku; I have "Misirlou." It sounds like Dick Dale but it certainly doesn't sound like any part of the copy of the song that's on his Best Of collection.

[Tarheels.]

Woman would actually be a pretty fun song to play. Its fun on guitar so why wouldn't it be fun on GH2. But the possibility of a Peppers song makes me happy. God let it be Suck My Kiss, please god.

[Fanku Kaibutsu]

I've never heard of Wolfmother. I figured they were some old band, not something 'still on the air waves'. Then again, the only songs from post-1987 the local rock radio station plays are Nickelback songs, so...

Anyway, on MTV's website today, they aired a video on Guitar Hero. This video showed the first 6 tiers of the song selection screen. When I watched it, most of the songs were blurred out, but apparently earlier in the day you could see the whole list, which wikipedia reports as follows:

[GoGo Yubari]

Oh god, please no "Cherry Pie" by Warrant.

[The Z-Man]

"Cherry Pie" by Warrant...

One question: Why?

[GoGo Yubari]

"Cherry Pie" by Warrant...

One question: Why?

That's what I want to know. Everything else looks so good and then you get this.

[apsham]

Killing In The Name is in? w00t.

[GhostMachine]

"Cherry Pie" by Warrant...

One question: Why?

[zero]

Oh c'mon, what's wrong with a little hair metal?

[K]

Gonna take your daughter out tonight, gonna show her my world, oh father. Not about to see your light, and if you wanna find hell with me, I can show you what it's like, till you're bleeding.

[Fanku Kaibutsu]

Oh c'mon, what's wrong with a little hair metal?

[Fanku Kaibutsu]

Gamespot has 5 new videos featuring full playthroughs of Jessica, Them Bones, Sweet Child O' Mine, Surrender, and Misirlou. After watching them, I gotta say... Fuck Misirlou. Fuck Dick Dale. And fuck Quinten Tarantino for popularizing a song that will undoubtedly be a major source of physical and mental pain and suffering in about a month.

[marksbros6]

Fuck.

The.

World.

:lmao:

Can't wait for the new one to come out. Although the track listing looks pretty intimidating, with the Stones like, 4th in or something.
