Full GH2 Track Listing

[Peanut]

I'm sceptical right now. The list has some good stuff, but doesn't look as good as the GH1 track list. I can already pick out a couple songs I completely loathe on this list, while I was willing to give most of the GH1 tracks a chance. I know I'm one of the few who play GH on here, but for those of you who do play, or even those of you with an opinion on music, what do you think of this track listing?

Alice in Chains - Them Bones
Iggy Pop and the Stooges - Search and Destroy
Pretenders - Tattooed Love Boys

4. Thrash and Burn

Dick Dale - Misirlou
Megadeth - Hangar 18
Lynyrd Skynyrd - Free Bird

I mean...what a weak ass Van Halen song to pick, and I see Lamb of God and Nirvana and want to just slam my guitar through my TV.

[Voltron]

Most of those tunes look awesome. I'm stoked about War Pigs and Danzig being on there. I feel the good songs outnumber the bad ones by more than a few.

[Peanut]

Danzig is big on me too. KISS and the Allman Brothers are both strong tracks too. I guess I just look at some of these and think, "why this song?" I think I may be building up the original GH track listing up more and more in my mind. Maybe because this one doesn't have Queen.

I'm mostly looking forward to hitting that 4+ minute long Free Bird solo though. Gonna be awesome.

[GK Punk]

Sweet, Hanger 18, Them Bones, Mother and Sweet Child o mine were the songs I Was wanting the most in the last game.

[Dr. Doom]

There wasn't really very much I liked on the first game either but a few tracks actually grew on me, like "Take it off". There's another good Megadeth song in here at least, so I'll give it a try and see what I can do.

[GK Punk]

I'm just hoping it's not the short version of Hanger 18.

[Peanut]

No way, dude. They don't mess around with GH. I was listening to a podcast with one of the dudes who does the guitar in the game and he said they have all the regular versions of all the songs in it. The only way they change songs is if there's a fade at the end, they add something in, because playing out a fade wouldn't be that fun.

[Kid Icarus]

I'm over all happy with the list... with a few exceptions.

Heart-Shaped Box is one of the more boring Nirvana songs to actually play. Then again, the songs on GH had notes added into them to make them harder. Case in point, the Ramones "I Wanna Be Sedated".

I'll buy it.

[The Clerk]

hm... to buy for PS2 or for 360...


decisions decisions...

[Dr. Doom]

If you have a 360 and don't already have a controller for PS2, It seems like the logocal choice to go with the 360 version.

[ThirdMarioBro]

Stone Temple Pilots...I can dig that. Heart...they should;ve picked Barracuda, but I'll live. Aerosmith = win. Anything with Nirvana makes me want to slam my head through the TV and swallow a chaode ray tube.

Disapointing track list, especially considering I just got into Guitar Hero, but fu*k, if it's got Free Bird, I'm screwed. Sold.

[Barkworm]

Man, there's some awesome stuff on that list.

[GK Punk]

Stone Temple Pilots...I can dig that. Heart...they should;ve picked Barracuda, but I'll live. Crazy on you has better guitar riffs, more guitar work in general in it, so I'm glad they picked that one. Barracuda is a sweet song though.
Anything with Nirvana makes me want to slam my head through the TV and swallow a chaode ray tube.
.

You have to be kidding me. Heart Shaped Box is the worst choice they could have picked by Nirvana But atleast they put something by them in there.

[ThirdMarioBro]

Oh well, difference in opinion I guess. No biggie.

[GK Punk]

No, there is only one opinion :lol:

[ThirdMarioBro]

*pulls out lightsaber*

Nerd fight.

[GK Punk]

*Busts out Star Trek TNG Phaser*

Never bring a Saber to a Phaser fight :O

[ThirdMarioBro]

Goddammit

*beams out*

:P

Does anyone know if

A: The original SG will still work with this game (I'm asuming it does.)
B: If they'll possibly offer more styles of Guitar controllers? My friend is wanting to get the Flying V style (Which is the type of guitar he plays.) and I'd like a Les Paul (Which is my real guitar).

It'll be like a geeked out version of our normal Jam sessions! HOORAH!

[The Clerk]

I have GH1 for PS2.... but I uno if I should purchase the second for 360 for the content DL stuff... argh!

Yes and Yes. Harmonic's and RedOctane have been pretty quiet about the new guitars, but John Tam was on "On The Spot" not so long ago, and he was doing the, "Well I'm not allowed to tell you, but I'm going to talk in a way that makes it obvious we have new guitars coming out." thing. On top of that, he said a hint would be about some new stuff would be what prizes they were giving away at the end of the show. They gave away a real Les Paul, so I'm thinking you're covered there, buddy. ;)

As for a Flying V, I own the wireless one from TAC, which is awesome, but Activision threw down the ban hammer on them recently, so who knows what's going to happen there. My guess is we're going to see all kinds of new guitar variations now though, considering how whore-ish Activision is when it comes to it's franchises.

Here's the thing. The 360 version will have DLC, but you'll also need to buy a new guitar for it, which is kind of expensive. This is especially true if you're like me and already have the original and a much more expensive 3rd party guitar. Plus, the 360 version probably isn't going to come out this year.

I'm going to get the PS2 version on the 7th, then get the 360 version whenever that releases. No biggie, since I love GH.

[Peanut]

Double post for being pissed.

I went out and got the new issue of OPM, specifically for the 4 song demo of GH2. Either my **** station 2 has finally kicked the bucket, or the disc is a worthless piece of ****. This really ****ing pisses me off. I really have the mind to chuck this Japanese piece of trash across and room and smash it into 1,000 poorly made pieces.

[Dr. Doom]

How old's the system?

[Peanut]

I got it the summer of the launch, so it's old. I just tried some other stuff and it all works. It's just this PIECE OF F*CKING SH*T C**K SUCKING DISC! F*CK! I spend $14 on a piece of sh*t magazine, which if of no possible worth to me, and the only f*cking thing I payed the money for is worthless!! F*CK THIS!

[Dr. Doom]

lol

If you can about the disc that much you can always open up your PS2 and like clean the lens off with a q-tip...that's what I do whenever I get my disc read error, and my PoS PS2 is still hanging in there as a direct result.

[Peanut]

But I don't get a disc read error! I get nothing! I put the disc in...it boots up. Playstation 2 logo pops up. Then it goes back to the menu to choose either the memory card or the disc. After about 3 times of this happening, the disc reads, but the screen just stays blank after the PS2 logo and just spins in the tray, doing nothing at all.

And everything else still works. It's just this worthless pos disc. I hate OPM too! I don't even want this garbage magazine in my house!

[Dr. Doom]

Make the disc to diaopmf? -=shrugs=-

[The Clerk]

what color is the disc?

[Dr. Doom]

Well even with the blue discs, they bring up the disc read error, I think. This seems to be a whole different sort of problem altogether.

[Peanut]

I tipped my PS2 up on it's side and now it works. What is this? 1999 all over again?

Anyways, the game rocks. All 4 songs on the demo are amazing.
Shout At The Devil
You Really Got Me
Strutter
YYZ

YYZ is the stand-out. Lots of cool new things in that song. Including some 3 fret chords. Played and raped all of them on hard. Going for expert now.

Dude are you a Rush fan? Just wondering, they're one of my favorite bands to guitar geek to. Out of the ones you mentioned, YYZ and Shout at the Devil are the only two that stand out to me. (Dr Feelgood would have been an awesome choice though! or Kickstart My heart...)

And that'd be sweet if A Les Paul was in the new game. I can't wait to tell my friend all of this, we just got really in to GH not that long ago. He's talking about preordering the new one depending on the tracklist and yeah... that's a bad ass list. I'm going to miss Cowboys From Hell though.

[Peanut]

Yeah, I dig Rush. Being Canadian and all. That song is ridiculous on Expert.

It seems like in GH2 when you start off playing, you now choose your character and then choose your guitar. I think there are two Les Paul's and a Gibson in the demo. I don't know for sure, but I know for sure that there are definately two Les Pauls.

DETHKLOK AND STRONG BAD FOR THE WIN!!!!!!!!1!1!!!!1!1!!11111

[Spitfire]

Wow Avenged Sevenfold and Lamb Of Suck get songs on the soundtrack but good bands don't get regonized.

Where's the god damn metal? This is all weak crap. A mix of 80's songs*Some good most not* and then some crap from the 90's. Mostly rock songs. I'd like to see someone tackle a speed metal song. Slayer, old Metallica, Iron Maiden or some new metal. Children Of Bodom, Arch Enemy, In Flames not Lamb Of God -_-

[Peanut]

Slayer, Metallica and Maiden wouldn't give them songs. It's as simple as that. The guys who make these games aren't morons. They just have to work with what they can get. None of those bands were willing to allow their songs in the game. There's nothing they can do about that. I know for a fact that they attempted to get all three of those bands, as well as a couple others.

Am I the only one who thinks Homestar is utter trash?
