Activision confirms 22 more GH5 tracks, details pre-order bonuses
by Ben Gilbert 
{ Jul 16th 2009 at 8:15PM } 
The peripheral-inclined publisher also revealed the variety of pre-order bonuses that eager GH5 consumers will pick up alongside the game at various retailers, ranging from GameStop's two free playable songs (isn't that like, a demo?) to Amazon's promise of five free mp3s. Hit the break for all the officially confirmed tracks thus far.

meh.
solarshadows074 @ Jul 16th 2009 8:35PM
i bet they're already planning for guitar hero X and will try to reboot it at the 15th sequel by calling it just "guitar hero"
zkey14 @ Jul 16th 2009 8:40PM
yeah that list kinda sucks
fffunfarm06 @ Jul 17th 2009 10:26AM
i think the joystiq staff had an inside source this time around. you guys had to. perhaps this person has been on the JPAGP? works for activision? maybe?
by the way i suggest you supplement your joystiq podcast diet with a healthy dose of the joystiq podcast appreciation group podcast on itunes.
Crimson_Ryan @ Jul 16th 2009 8:22PM
I care not what you think of me, I am buying this for Tom Petty!
Adriaan @ Jul 17th 2009 12:27AM
Tom Petty kicks ass. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
KFelon @ Jul 17th 2009 8:19AM
Same reason I will eventually buy this for $20 when it drops... oh yeah and for Rammstein too.
Joe Smith @ Jul 16th 2009 8:23PM
*obligatory 'Rock Band is better' comment*
ROCK BAND IS BETTER THAN GUITAR ZERO!!!!
VaultBoy @ Jul 17th 2009 2:18PM
They're the same game! Virtually no difference in terms of mechanics. DLC is another story but get off it! This fanboy crap has got to stop.
Kill a mans jiro @ Jul 16th 2009 8:23PM
Screw activision, cant even be asked to read anything to do with them today.
Sly @ Jul 16th 2009 8:25PM
wolfmother. white stripes. nirvana. i have no choice but to buy the game. world tour instruments work with this, right?
Sly @ Jul 16th 2009 8:29PM
wait, where's the list of preorder bonuses? or the source?
korwyn @ Jul 16th 2009 8:52PM
instead of those bonus tracks, how about the ability to transfer all the DL songs and the songs on every single full band GH disc released? I'd thing more people will appreciate that.
Leobebes (BDF: Braid Defence Force) @ Jul 16th 2009 8:30PM
KONAMI'S ROCK REVOLUTION is BETTER THAN GUITAR HERO & ROCK BAND!
Sly @ Jul 16th 2009 8:40PM
THE JONAS BROTHERS AND HANNAH MONTANA are BETTER THAN ANY OF THE ARTISTS IN THIS GAME!!!!1!!1!1
Drew @ Jul 17th 2009 3:05PM
I don't know about you... but I detected sarcasm.
Erik Patterson @ Jul 16th 2009 8:32PM
So glad I don't actually "buy" these games.
Desert Eagle @ Jul 16th 2009 10:28PM
If you are referring to Guitar Hero then I agree with you. After GH3, I never bought another GH game ever after.
However, if you are referring to band rhythm games in general *cough*RB*cough*, then you're missing out buddy. They are probably the best party experience you can have with your friends.
Leo161 @ Jul 17th 2009 11:20AM
Hehe
majorfalcon @ Jul 16th 2009 8:32PM
Sauce plx
Desert Eagle @ Jul 16th 2009 10:30PM
And once again, Joystiq comment's hiccups strike again. I was directing that comment to Patterson. Perhaps I should start using "@ (member)" again to prevent these future double posts...
Aegis Fairweather @ Jul 16th 2009 8:32PM
AAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS = this game
Blind Io @ Jul 16th 2009 10:22PM
well i do love a good ass

DAT ASS
Hxczuner (PSN i.d) @ Jul 16th 2009 8:38PM
Considering that that only Guitar hero game i've owned was the wii version of world tour (not the full band), i think i may get this. The track list looks ok, not stella...
Arthur @ Jul 16th 2009 8:55PM
STELLLAAAAA!
MystileArmor @ Jul 16th 2009 9:19PM
She got her groove back with Guitar Hero?
ArchiGamer [thephilosophyofgames.wordpress.com] @ Jul 16th 2009 9:26PM
And then found out it was Gay and not straight?
MowDownJoe @ Jul 16th 2009 8:57PM
5 free MP3s from Amazon? ...Nah, still not enough to catch my attention. (Although it'd be a nice way to shortchange Weird Al... why's he charging $1.29 for his new songs on there when everyone else is charging 99 cents? Yes, I know about the iTunes price hike...)
Sly @ Jul 16th 2009 9:03PM
last time i checked, apple makes the pricing decisions. so more popular songs are $1.29. that's why i feel bad for people who didn't buy the led zeppelin songs before the price change. every single one of their songs went up by 30 cents.
Riley @ Jul 16th 2009 9:04PM
Damn it, now it has Muse and Blur? why couldn't they have gone with Rock Band instead, damn it
VaultICEE @ Jul 16th 2009 10:57PM
Hysteria by Muse has been in Rock Band (wish there was more however) and Blue - Song 2 is coming to RB in the form of LEGO Rock Band
Doc Doom @ Jul 16th 2009 9:12PM
I still want Love Shack.
Travis @ Jul 16th 2009 9:14PM
I absolutely love the track list but despise Activision and dont want to buy a game from them not made by Infinity Ward. I'm also going to be getting The Beatles Rock Band. So wut do i do
VaultICEE @ Jul 16th 2009 10:55PM
Just wait for the songs to hit Rock Band
A badly made game with good music is still badly made
DiGiTAL SiN254 @ Jul 16th 2009 9:18PM
Du Hast sicks out of that list for me. But No RATM no buy.
Anthology @ Jul 16th 2009 9:23PM
I sorta like this list, but I hate Activision.
I hate Activision more than I hate rampant piracy.
I am pirating this game.
Angel Mass @ Jul 16th 2009 9:25PM
Cant wait to get this game! Not
False @ Jul 16th 2009 10:06PM
Tom Petty, White Stripes, and Thrice are good to have. The rest doesn't look too bad. But is there any word on if GHWT tracks can be carried over? That'll really be what determines if this is a buy for me.
Sly @ Jul 16th 2009 10:09PM
there's been a rumor going around saying that you will be able to import world tour songs into 5, but there hasn't been any official word from acti.
Matthew Perry @ Jul 16th 2009 10:14PM
Even if this game had a terrible set list (which it doesn't), American Girl makes it an instant purchase.
Jack Tretton @ Jul 16th 2009 10:14PM
These setlists become more uninspired as the games go on. I think the last GH setlist I really liked belonged to #2.
Papa Midnight @ Jul 16th 2009 11:08PM
I liked the set list from 2. If only Beast and the Harlot and Killing in the Name didn't sound like utter shit.
Alex @ Jul 17th 2009 8:56AM
I still don't have the Kick the Bucket Award, despite me still going back to it every now and then

Jack Tretton @ Jul 17th 2009 11:46AM
@Papa
Yeah, those are kinda bad, but I do like the cover of "Can't You Hear Me Knockin'." I thought it would be terrible but was pleasantly surprised.
Randy @ Jul 16th 2009 10:46PM
Peeps still playing this? I can see for parties but...
Erik Patterson @ Jul 16th 2009 11:08PM
Oh, definitely referring to the newer GH series. I still have them all in my collection but RB2 + it's infinitely amazing DLC keeps me busy.
Brandon R @ Jul 16th 2009 11:12PM
I don't normally comment, but the rhythm games are my favorite. I couldn't care less if it's Rock Band or Guitar Hero, really, but this set list kind of sucks so far. There's a few on here that aren't terrible, but for the most part it's not that exciting yet.
Spike @ Jul 16th 2009 11:25PM
i'll wait for all the good songs to make their way to RB, much like most of the good songs from GH3, and anything good on GHWT, except minus about 4 songs is already on RB
KM @ Jul 16th 2009 11:29PM
For a second when it said Attack Attack, I thought they were talking about the horrific crabcore band. Thank god.
Though I guess my next purchase definitely won't be GH5. Most likely RB2, or even GH:M.
