More Guitar Hero: World Tour Playable Characters

Jimi Hendrix is expected to be a playable character in Guitar Hero: World Tour
Jimi Hendrix is expected to be a playable character in Guitar Hero: World Tour
We love surveys. They’ve let us know about Rock Band 2 and the possible cover art for the game.  They’ve also given us a heads up on new details about controllers and artists for Guitar Hero: World Tour.

Today we get more information from a survey that tells us who some playable characters in the upcoming Guitar Hero: World Tour may be as well as some more song information.

On top of the playable characters that we had already speculated would be in the game (Ted Nugent, Travis Barker, and Billy Corgan), the survey also mentioned that we would be getting Sting, Ozzy Osbourne, Jimi Hendrix, Hayley Williams and Zakk Wylde.  The survey also indicated that from Tool we would be getting “at least three songs and a dedicated venue”

More info including full survey text, and a screenshot from the survey after the break.

Here is the text from the survey;

In this new Guitar Hero game, join up with your bandmates to form the ultimate super group and rock your way to the top.  Shred on lead, rhythm, or bass guitar (three options on one guitar controller), rip on drums, or belt it out on the mic as you rock together on the greatest classic, modern, alternative, pop, and metal hits.  85 songs by artists including Jimi Hendrix, The Doors, Foo Fighters, Smashing Pumpkins, Korn, System of a Down, Ozzy Osbourne, Interpol, Muse, Tool (at least three songs and a dedicated venue), and dozens more come together to form the coolest set list ever.  You can even play as your favorite rock star, choosing from characters like Sting, Ozzy Osbourne, Ted Nugent, Billy Corgan, Jimi Hendrix, Travis Barker, Hayley Williams, and Zak Wylde.  If none of these are your style, then you can create your own character, including character construction, instrument creation, band logos, and album covers.  Then take it to a whole new level by jumping into a fully-integrated recording studio to lay down, upload, and share custom tracks online - for virtually unlimited rock.
This game features the most authentic instrument peripherals on the market including an all-new wireless guitar controller with the first-ever touch-sensitive neck slide, dedicated Star Power button, and ability to palm-mute.  Also, the new killer wireless drums have ultra-quiet pressure-sensitive pads, raised cymbals, and are easy to set up and take down.  Or, use the microphone to become the ultimate frontman.  This new Guitar Hero game lets you rock together and rock for all.

Expected Rating: T-Teen - Suitable for those ages 13 and over

Now, please indicate how interested you would be in buying this all new Guitar Hero game when it becomes available?

This, if accurate, is fantastic news.  Tool fans will definately be happy with the multiple songs from Tool.  We’re pretty pumped about the variety of playable characters (JIMI HENDRIX!!!!).

Big thumbs up to ‘Breninator’ over at the ScoreHero forums for sharing this.

    I’ll be interested in how they get Jimi Hendrix in as he wouldn’t be able to do the mo-cap. Also, more than one song by an artist in the original game? (No DLC) Now 85 songs looks like it could happen.

    i’ll be there at midnight if Tool is in the game. that would be insane.

  3. I’m assuming that, after they got the ‘rights’ to use Jimi’s image, they just had someone who could mimic his movements do the mo-cap.

    This looks like it will be very cool… but now check out our recent news about Rock Band 2…

    they should keep with the one song per band thing in the core game, if downloadable content has tht 3 tool song tihng, thent hts okay, but most people like the one band one song rule tht gutiar hero does

    Thats just awesome. I am really more going to enjoy GH: WT than previously thought. Playing as Hendrix will be amazing. We got a glimpse of that when we play GH3, if any of us played as Xavier. You know what would be really awesome. Someone singing as Ozzy and someone being Zakk on guitar playing “Crazy Train”. That would just make a band right there.

    “i think its [removed-edit] that TOOL will be on this”

    I’m sure no one gives a damn what you think.

    Anyway, I’d like to see the following Tool songs in “World Tour”, as I play mostly drums and find these to be the most challenging/entertaining: The Grudge, 46&2, and Pushit.

    Nothing from the new album please, unless it’s Right In Two, which should be crazy from a drumming perspective. I doubt they will put Tool’s best songs on there though, as I’m sure they’ll cater to the radio audience.
