Guitar Hero II Xbox 360 tracks revealed

360 News | 10 bonus songs confirmed.

Information on the Xbox 360 version of Guitar Hero II has been sparse, but TeamXbox has revealed some new information on the game, which looks set for release in March.

All 64 songs from the PlayStation 2 version of Guitar Hero II will make it into the game, as well as there being ten bonus songs as well, which will include:

Billion Dollar Babies (Alice Cooper)
Dead! (My Chemical Romance)
Hush (Deep Purple)
Life Wasted (Pearl Jam)
Rock N Roll Hoochie Koo (Rick Derringer)
Possum Kingdom (Toadies),
Salvation (Rancid)
The Trooper (Iron Maiden

The other two bonus songs haven't been revealed. The game will also support downloadable content, so it's highly likely the entire track list from the original Guitar Hero will eventually become available for download. The game will also allow you to upload your top scores to online leader boards.

^Thanks for that helpful contribution...

I'm happy to see that they're actually putting something extra into the 360 version to help ease the pain of the long delay. Really looking forward to this.

Has there been any official word on a wireless 360 GH controller coming out?

i would buy a xbox360 and just for this game if it had something like iron maiden-aces high or hallowed be thy name. wonder what the other 2 are

I totally forgot that this game was coming out on the 360 so when I read this news it was a pleasant surprise. Not just because it has Maiden in it either, but because of the aforementioned fact that I forgot.

So yeah, point of this post? Guitar Hero II on the 360 equals awesome, a definite purchase sometime during this year. About time I jumped on the GH bandwagon actually, I am still yet to even play the game/s let alone own them.

I thought they would charge for extra songs right off the bat on Xbox Live

I think in the end they will sell songs on Xbox Live and charge alot more than iTunes charge for the original song and call it a "Guitar Hero track" kind of like the phone companies hate phones with iTunes coz they can sell part of a song for $5 and call it a "ringtone"

Pearl Jam - Life Wasted...?

Dayyyyyuuuum PJ have been my all time favourite band for years. It's a good song and everything, but why not pick someothing with better guitar? like 'Given To Fly', that would be cool.

Remember there's a lot more to putting a track into GH than just dumping an MP3 on a server, you have to re-record the whole thing (most of the time) and make 4 difficulties for the game.

No that one doesn't have outstanding guitars on it. You want either a ball-tearer or a sweet song with memorable guitars.

^ Alive has a nice solo, but yeah thats pretty much it.

but what is it with people wanting Iron Maiden? yeah i know they were early pioneers of metal however those weak riffs (and long wavy hair and leather pants) just don't compare to newer stuff such as Pantera.

im not wanting maiden, i just think its a good idea to have one of their songs in the game which could mean that in the future there will be more of their songs now knowing that they are letting people use their songs unlike one band, eg. metallica (damn it, hopefully they will wake up).
the song im wanting is steve vai-for the love of god. but walk from pantera would also be cool

Are Pantera still around? I remember listening to them back in the early 90s, untill my eardrums exploded.

no, im sure they split up or somthing in 2003, darrell dimebag (used to be lead guitarist for pantera went to another band i think called damageplan) was shot onstage during one of the concerts and phil just walked away saying the dimebag needed a good beating.

You've answered your own question; Maiden were included (and were demanded) because they were one of the early pioneers of Metal. The reason they chose "The Trooper" probably has something to do with the fact that the galloping riff is hell-a memorable. Sure I would have loved say "Hallowed Be Thy Name" instead, but beggars cant be choosers, hey?

On the note of Pantera, its kinda odd that "Cowboys From Hell" (Guitar Hero 1) was chosen ahead of "Cemetery Gates" which IMO is arguably their best song. Cant wait to hear about DLC Tracks.

yea i think the same thing (cemetary gates better than cowboys from hell and probs their best song) but not everyone thinks that way. plus cowboys from hell is better known then cemetary gates, imo. like metallicas enter sandman and master of puppets. alot of people know the song enter sandman but have no idea what master of puppets when personly i think master of puppets is a much better song

you should have seen him playing it live in December 06. it was sweet as

and My Chemical Romance being the least played song will just make them sadder, and since they love sadness this will make them them happier, which will in turn make them sadder again....

Hehe, I love the vast differences of taste on this forum. I don't mind My Chemical Romance, but I'd have the same reaction as Eyce if Metallica was added.
