Another few weeks, it seems, and another set of songs get announced for Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock - the latest game in the ever-popular rhythm action series, that has grown men, women, and children strutting around with plastic instruments with long hair flowing like it was 1985.
This time, however, there's a twist, as the new songs are all from bands that have never been on a Guitar Hero game before. Following on from the announcements of the initial setlist, and the first themed list of songs, which were apparently picked for their "killer riffs and intense solos", you can find the latest list below:
- Anberlin - "The Feel Good Drag"
- Arch Enemy - "Nemesis"
- The Dillinger Escape Plan - "Setting Fire To Sleeping Giants"
- John 5 - "Black Widow Of La Porte"
- Neil Young - "Rockin' In The Free World"
- Orianthi - "Suffocated"
- Queensrÿche - "Jet City Woman"
- Red Rider - "Lunatic Fringe"
- RX Bandits - "It's Only Another Parsec..."
- Snot - "Deadfall"
- Tesla - "Modern Day Cowboy"
Now call me strange, but I can't help wondering if when Activision said these bands were making their first appearances on the game, they actually meant their first appearance ever in the history of the world. I've heard of Neil Young, but I know Anberlin exclusively from the Amped 3 soundtrack, - so maybe it's just me who's been living under a rock for the past few years... As with most things, I think the latter's probably the most likely.
