5 October 2006

MTV’s Overdrive game site show G-Hole got a preview of Guitar Hero II for the PS2, which is due November 7th in the U.S. It looks like MTV wasn’t supposed to share nearly all the song names they saw though, and probably after a firm warning from developer Harmonix, they were quick to remove/sensor all the new Guitar Hero II songs from the video. Lucky for us, Guitar Hero II forumer Rhino4evr wrote all the new song (making a total of 38 songs out of 55 now!) names down and guessed the most likely artists. List here!

For a game called guitar hero how come there’s hardly any songs by guitar heroes?!?! Where’s the Zakk Wylde, the Dimebag, The Steve Vai, The Malmsteen, the Randy Rhoads, the Clapton?

Denni, did you play the first one? It had Fire it Up by Zakk Wylde’s band, Black Label Society; Crossroads by Cream (Clapton); Cowboys From Hell by Pantera (Dimebag); and Bark at the Moon by Ozzy (Rhodes).

True they had no Vai or Malmsteen, but hey, not everyone wanted to license their music to an unproven video game, plus there was only so much space on the disc. Same problem for the second one. And what’s wrong with Slash, Tony Ione, Brian Setzer and Alex Lifeson?

Is anybody else kinda surprised by the inclusion of Foo Fighters’ “Monkey Wrench”? I mean, it’s a great song and I’m thrilled to see it on there, but I figured they’d have picked one of their more commercially successful songs, like “Everlong” or “Best of You”.

Rush is extremely underrated, at least in the US. They wrote some of the greatest songs of all time, but on the rare occasion anyone mentions their name it’s to make fun of Geddy’s voice or call them pretentious. They’re geniuses.

My friends and I have a great appreciation for Rush. They are the greatest thing ever to come from Canada.

Man, gotta say that I was really hoping for some Dio. Anything Dio would have been great!
