Almost Complete Set List for Guitar Hero II
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.
Needs some Zappa.

You're missing the fact that playing guitar is a great deal more difficult, the learning curve is steeper, there's no instant gratification without years of practice, and most of all it isn't a game. Guitar Hero is to playing guitar what CS is to joining the Army. It's a game that is intended to represent an action but be significantly more fun, not be a simulation of the action.

YYZ... HELL YEAH!
Still, I'm pissed at the distinct lack of any Dream Theater. Some of Petrucci's riffs would be fucking awesome for extremely advanced modes.
Multiplayer Gaming (defined): Sitting around, discussing single-player games with my friends, at the bar.
Although 5 of the songs sound good the others dont interest me much, and I hate "Cherry Pie" by warrant.
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..

This guy obviously never heard of the power chord...
It's such a fine line between stupid and clever.
