Oh YEAH.
And here’s the list of songs officially on the game so far, with the newest additions highlighted:
- “I Wanna Rock” (by Twisted Sister)
- “I Ran” (by Flock of Seagulls)
- “Round and Round” (as made famous by Ratt)
- “I Want Candy” (as made famous by Bow Wow Wow)
- “Metal Health” (as made famous by Quiet Riot)
- “Holy Diver” (as made famous by Dio)
- “Heat of the Moment” (as made famous by Asia)
- “18 and Life” (as made famous by Skid Row)
- “Bathroom Wall” (as made famous by Faster Pussycat)
- “Lonely is the Night” (as made famous by Billy Squier)
- “Nothing But a Good Time” (as made famous by Poison)
- “Play With Me” (as made famous by Extreme)
- “Shaken” (as made famous by Eddie Money)
- “Synchronicity II” (as made famous by Police)
The one in particular that made my jaw drop from the latest additions is “Play With Me.” That one has Final Tier song written all over it. If you don’t recall the song, it was probably made most famous when a bunch of Great Figures From History were brought to San Dimas, California, to experience the wonders of 20th century shopping malls, and one of those great figures started playing the keyboard, at which point, the song kicked in. Or you could just watch it below:
Holy crap, that song is gonna’ kill me.
Must… finish… Psychobilly… Freakout… But… so… damn… hard…

I’m definitely still going to buy the game, but my enthusiasm has officially waned. This doesn’t strike me as a particularly exciting setlist, especially when compared to the previous two entries. I just hope the next 16 or so songs feature a couple of songs I actually like.
Out of curiosity, how far along are you in GH2?
I finally got past Freya in Hard (I learned that the secret was to not worry about my final star tally and just focus on two of the three notes in the insanely repetitive sections) and after that finished the six following songs in one sitting, leaving me with just the last ten songs to get through (which will take awhile if my recent experience with Madhouse proved anything). Expert is still way beyond me (unlike the first game, where I’ve completed 18 songs) and I’ve only been able to finish Mother and Surrender on that level thus far (I don’t know why, but to my fingers Shout at the Devil and Woman are two of the hardest songs in the game).
My brother tells me that local bars are now having weekly Guitar Hero contests. You should find out if any places in Toronto are hosting similar events and show off the mad skillz you’ve spent so much time developing (assuming you don’t go up against one of those youtube savants who can five star Psychobilly Freakout on Expert with their back to the TV set).
Shout At The Devil is a bit weird because once you’re playing it “note for note” on Expert, you really begin to realize how “off” the rhythm is, since it’s not standard 4/4 time, and has bizarre pauses spaced throughout. Woman is just tough because of the amount of alternating you do between adjacent notes in the main melody, then it suddenly goes into another one of those incredibly repetitive melodies towards the end. I haven’t really gone back to it since I finished it, but I suspect 5-starring it is going to be pretty tough.
