Stuff Magazine reveals new Guitar Hero World Tour tracks
Ready to "beat it" with fire-lit butterfly wings? (Note to self: That came out wrong.) The latest issue of Stuff Magazine (via Guitar Hero Community) has a Guitar Hero World Tour preview, which lists nine confirmed tracks and five more confirmed artists. Although we already knew a few of those songs, five of them are new, including The Doors' "Light My Fire," Smashing Pumpkins' "Bullet with Butterfly Wings" and -- yes, really -- Michael Jackson's "Beat It."
Additionally, two of the listed artists with "unknown" track contributions already have confirmed songs (Foo Fighters' "Everlong" and Van Halen's "Hot for Teacher"). Newcomers include Muse, Beastie Boys and Nirvana. We've compiled a list of confirmed GHWT tracks after the break.

Gotcha.
Nate @ Aug 5th 2008 1:39PM
Beat It? Awww... now I might just HAVE to get this...
FSK405K @ Aug 5th 2008 2:34PM
Damnit! My one relief of that other list being tagged as fake was that I wouldn't have to play a Michael Jackson song. Is there any way we can disable certain songs from being in any of the random or online tracklists?
Antonio @ Aug 5th 2008 2:41PM
yeah, i was gonna skip this one, but now it gets at least a rental.
Shagittarius @ Aug 5th 2008 2:57PM
Do you guys enjoy listening to tasteless shit music?
Farseer (GDI) @ Aug 5th 2008 1:39PM
I still can't get over the floating guitar player on the right...
Bakkster @ Aug 5th 2008 1:46PM
He's supposed to be jumping.
Farseer (GDI) @ Aug 5th 2008 2:07PM

They couldn't have gotten a different Foo Fighters song than the one that's been in like *every* goddamn Rock Band 2 ad so far?
Hafk @ Aug 5th 2008 5:52PM
The Foo Fighters song was confirmed for GH:WT way before it was confirmed for RB2.
deaftly @ Aug 5th 2008 1:43PM
At the drive in! Its gonna be hard not to purchase this :(
baby sea tuna @ Aug 5th 2008 1:45PM
I know. That's the only one that's really jumped out at me. But man, did it jump.

Banked on memory
Mummified circuitry
Skin graft machinery
Sputnik sickles found in the seats

Spam email, or ATDI/Mars Volta lyrics? You decide.
xGeneral DEATHx @ Aug 5th 2008 1:53PM
I have all these for sale, just call XXX-XXX-XXXX extension XXXX and ask for DEATH!
BUT WAIT...THERE'S MOAR!!!!
Joshua @ Aug 5th 2008 1:46PM
I was planning on skipping this game but seeing the doors, hendrix, and jackson means id be a fool
Scooterpies @ Aug 5th 2008 1:46PM
You're welcome for the tip, Joystiq. ;)
I pooped my pants when I read that Bullet with Butterfly Wings and Light My Fire are going to be on there. Smashing Pumpkins' Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness is one of my all-time favorite albums.
Kanadwen @ Aug 5th 2008 1:58PM
Dude, this guy gave a tip! :O
xGeneral DEATHx @ Aug 5th 2008 1:59PM
Holy shit, you are the first EVARRRRRRRRRR!!!!
baby sea tuna @ Aug 5th 2008 2:10PM
Dude, did you just *admit* to reading Stuff magazine?!
Ross Miller @ Aug 5th 2008 4:36PM
You and about 10 others gave us the tip, and we cut off thanking every person individually at 8 ;)
Kaz @ Aug 5th 2008 1:46PM
well, this is a 100% purchase. BEAT IT.
Werbal @ Aug 5th 2008 1:47PM
Linkin Park?

MKA @ Aug 5th 2008 1:49PM
OMG OMG OMG....
not interested....
Farseer (GDI) @ Aug 5th 2008 1:53PM
dude, killer avatar. :)
jsn @ Aug 5th 2008 1:54PM
RENTAL
baby sea tuna @ Aug 5th 2008 1:57PM
Yeah, I gave you a +1 for the avatar as well.
JP2546 @ Aug 5th 2008 1:52PM
Even thought I really don't like My Chemical Romance, they should have one of their singles in this game. It would be pretty fun to play and sing
baby sea tuna @ Aug 5th 2008 1:54PM
So, uh, how do you have a Doors song on here with no keyboard...oh and no bassline?
Not to mention the fact that the doors were terrible.
jsn @ Aug 5th 2008 1:59PM
they keyboards were the bass. They'll just chart it as such.
jsn @ Aug 5th 2008 2:00PM
and on a side note, I like plenty of their songs, but they just don't fit the game very well IMO. Good songs, yes. Fun songs for a game like this? eh..
dmbrandon @ Aug 5th 2008 3:01PM
I love this.
Stephen @ Aug 5th 2008 3:17PM
yeah, what do they do about the long keyboard solo in the middle? i think it would be stupid to make us play the guitar or bass to a keyboard part.
OMGOMG @ Aug 5th 2008 3:30PM
@tuna
Thank you.
The Doors were average at best. Probably the most overrated band of all time. So glad RB2 isn't wasting any tracks on them.
kagai @ Aug 5th 2008 4:55PM
@OMGOMG
Overrated? The Doors are one of the most underrated rock bands to this day. Maybe you should try not judging a band based on the two songs that get played on the radio.
OMGOMG @ Aug 5th 2008 7:10PM
ARE YOU SERIOUS???
Underrated??
How is that possible, seeing as Jim Morrison is looked upon as a god, when he really wasn't all that talented. The Doors don't deserve half the praise they get.
Elan Zadok @ Aug 5th 2008 2:02PM
Rock Band Forever
Vcize @ Aug 5th 2008 2:11PM
Bullet with Butterfly Wings...awesome.
lego91994 @ Aug 5th 2008 2:14PM
I guess this confirms the supposed leaked setlist was indeed incorrect... but a few of the songs on there turned out to be true.
Shadow El @ Aug 5th 2008 2:14PM
Beat It AND Santeria? Yes.
Roto13 @ Aug 5th 2008 2:21PM
There are already more good songs on this partial list than there were in the entirety of GH III. :P This is a good sign.
Cutty @ Aug 5th 2008 2:23PM
Awesome, Beat It is still in!
Banana Kid @ Aug 5th 2008 2:40PM
Bullet with Butterfly Wings is the song I've been waiting to hear about--the song that proves once and for all that the leaked list wasn't completely accurate.
I do think there was some truth there, since Light My Fire and Beat It were on it, but it's good to know that there surprises left.
tommy @ Aug 5th 2008 2:46PM
oh c'mon... no pink floyd, led zeppelin, or beatles... put one song out of one of those bands in and ill be more than happy to pay 200$ for a game...
