Complete Set List for Guitar Hero III
Wowzer writes "Early leaks have revealed the complete 74 numbers set list in Guitar Hero 3: Legends of Rock . Developer Neversoft had hoped to keep the last remaining 14 songs a secret until the American launch of the game on October 28th for PS2, PS3, Xbox 360 and Wii. From the article: 'Tier 1 - Slow Ride (Foghat), Talk Dirty to Me (Poison), Hit Me with Your Best Shot (Pat Benetar), Story of My Life (Social Distortion), Rock and Roll All Nite (Kiss), Sabotage (Beastie Boys). Tier 2 - Mississippi Queen (Mountain), School's Out (Alice Cooper), Sunshine of Your Love (Cream), Barracuda (Heart), Tom Morello's Original Boss Battle Recording, Bulls on Parade (Rage Against The Machine), Reptillia (The Strokes).'"
And I'm sure the streaming video will work beautifully now that they've been slashdotted.
Good call. Nerds definitely aren't interested in video games. All we do is play chess, do calculus in our heads, and argue the merits of Kirk as the original captain.
I have some worries about GH:III due to this fact, but I'm still more than willing to give it a shot. The track list, at over 70 songs, is just simply killer and according to Wikipedia, it appears GH:III will have several new gameplay additions, particularly for competitive play, which really does sound like some nice touches.
Likewise, I'm actually MORE excited for Rock Band. I've only recently picked up Karaoke Revolution and really enjoy it. I can imagine adding Drums and 2-3 friends would really kick butt. Except... I only own a Wii and PS2. Rumors are they'll release a Wii version, but no concrete details and if and when. There's a PS2 version which I might just break-down and buy until a Wii version arrives (at whatever cost I'll loose by trading in the PS2 version). Though, I want to avoid the PS2 due to no downloads and I don't feel like dropping $400 for a 360/PS3 to buy a $200 game. So, I'm hoping GH:III will tide me over until more details on a Wii version arrive.
Cheers,
Fozzy

I find it hilarious that they put Sabotage on the list. Give the guitar part a good listen sometime--all it is is nonstop heavily distorted muted eighth notes (with a handful of unmuted hits in there). Nearly the entire "melody" is the bass.
This guy's the limit!
Not true. It is plainly clear that Picard is superior.
What I really like about the GHIII set list is the fact that only 19 out of the 70+ song are "as made famous by" with the rest being recordings from the original artist. IMO this is the biggest benefit to this edition over the previous installments which were closer to the other way around. Either Activision has more $$ to pay for the originals, or more artists (read: copyright owners)are realizing that supporting Guitar Hero does wonders for the good will of their fans.

Third outing on a "guitar rock gods" package, and still no John Petrucci, wtf? Not buying it until they give me some Metropolis action.

I'm not sure why it's only Anonymous Cowards who are pointing this out, but it's an important point that should be seen by everyone. Harmonix didn't invent the rhythm genre. Harmonix didn't even invent the hold-one-or-more-neck-buttons-while-strumming-the-bidirectional-lever guitar rhythm genre. Konami released the first version of Guitar Freaks in 1998.
What sound do people on rollercoasters make? Hint: it's not Xbox 360.
I don't need a set list to know how to ROCK!

Christopher Pike was the original Captain, Kirk was second
