More Guitar Hero 80s Tracks Announced

Posted by Zonk on from the rock-it-with-big-hair dept.

Activision has released information on eight more tracks from the upcoming Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks the 80s. In addition the previously announced songs, the company has now confirmed that the following glam and metal ballads will be available: "'Hold On Loosely' (as made famous by .38 Special), 'No One Like You' (as made famous by Scorpions), 'Only a Lad' (as made famous by Oingo Boingo), 'Radar Love' (as made famous by White Lion), 'Ballroom Blitz' (as made famous by Krokus), 'The Warrior' (by Scandal), 'What I Like About You' (as made famous by The Romantics), and 'Wrath Child' (as made famous by Iron Maiden)." Would have liked "Dead Man's Party" or "Weird Science" better from Boingo, but you can't have everything.

    They're saving the Def Leppard songs for Drum Hero.

    Help me place this Slashvertisement in the AIDA marketing model. Is this dribbling of useless information intended to raise Awareness, Interest or Desire?

    But the distinct lack of really great songs as well as tons of "As made famous by..." really put me off. I think you just summed up the 80s for me.

    Heavens, no. hitomi's remake of Bananarama's remake of "Venus" is far more pop and current.

    Hair metal was the epitomy of Human expression, it is the great star that our society will be judged by for centuries to come. like Homer's epics and Wagner's opera hair metal is simply our greatest legacy to the future.

    Actually, I think songs which pretty much represented an entire movie in theme and complexity (and vice versa) really capture the zeitgeist of the 80s... For instance, once you saw something strange in the neighborhood and realized who you were going to call, the exposition(/development of the plot) was about over.
