More Guitar Hero World Tour Songs including Michael Jackson
By Tyler Ryan on Aug 6, 2008 in Uncategorized
The latest issue of Stuff Magazine gives us some more information for Guitar Hero World Tour in the form of new songs and characters.
Stuff confirms some songs and artists we already knew about, so we’re just going to cut down the info and share with you here what we didn’t know previously.
The newly announced songs are;
Steve Miller Band - “The Joker”
The Answer - “Never Too Late”
Smashing Pumpkins - “Bullet With Butterfly Wings”
Interpol - “Obstacle 1″
Michael Jackson - “Beat It”
The Doors - “Light My Fire”
Linkin Park - “In The End (If We Have To)”
The magazine also confirms The Beastie Boys (which we alluded to at an earlier date), but does not confirm a song. We have to guess it’s “No Sleep ‘Till Brooklyn” as the guitar solo is sweet.
It also confirms Muse as being a part of the game, as well as Nirvana.
Now given that Guitar Hero World Tour is getting reviewed in a UK title, should we conclude that the launch date will be the same as North America? Activision has already mentioned “a multi territory launch of Guitar Hero World Tour“.
Something that amused us was Stuff UK’s timeline of Guitar Hero, especially the “June 2008 - GH:Aerosmith For You Steve Perry Fans” bit. Joe Perry is the guitarist for Aerosmith, Steve Perry was the vocalist for Journey.
Hey, this gives us a chance to tell Activision that Guitar Hero: Journey needs to happen. Like, yesterday.
If you’re in the UK, this magazine is on newstands now. If you’re not in the U.K., find a bigger bookstore/magazine shop to locate a copy.

“Beat It” will be fun. The solo sounds awesome. I was surprised by “The Joker” because I like the song but I would never expect it in a Guitar Hero. Good songs so far.

I want to see another awesome band in GH, Triumph. Playing Rocky Mountain Way or Rock ‘N’ Roll Machine would be awesome on the guitar.
It’s also nice to see The Doors in GH.
