"My Name is Jonas" (by Weezer)

Don't all Weezer songs consist of just 2 alternating chords? Talk about easy. Still is a good song though.

[blissfulnoise]

Important thing to note is all the Bys instead of As Made Famous Bys. Master tracks means a lot more entertaining experience. Some of the horrible "covers" on GHII distracted me to the point of avoiding some songs.

Paint it Black by The Rolling Stones is already better than the whole licensed track list on GHII combined.

Yeah, that one I bet will be easy, though it does have that little soloish bit at the beginning. I think "Say It Aint So" would have been a better Weezer pick.

We need more longer rock tracks like Freebird though. I tell ya, nothing would be awesomer that jamming to a full length version of 2112.

And throw something in off Quadrophenia and some 60's psych rock for good measure.

Wow...great list so far. Beastie Boys was a nice suprise.

[walrusmonger]

So this means for "GH3" we need to buy a version WITH a guitar because they're changing up the way the game plays with button colors or somethign?

Sucks.

Yeah I just read that.

Looks like I'm changing my decision to a "no thanks" if they change the colors and re-map the buttons. I had enough trouble getting decent at the regualr version, I'm not learning it all over again/buying another guitar (we already have 2) this fall.

Way to loose a sale neversoft. Ever hear "if it ain't broke. . ."

[njiska]

Sabetoge? Fucking awesome.

[Vinnysdad]

"new button color" design? I already own 2 guitars so I guess this change will force me to buy another one just so I can play this. I say go to hell and I wont be buying.

[chicnstu]

Tenacious D but no System of a Down?

I could care less if they make the buttons a different color or shape as long as you can use your old guitar. But if they are re-designing the controller and game completely so it'll be incompatible, I'll pass too. That's just blatant fucking greed.

[heybtbm]

If you don't want to buy a new guitar, just put colored stickers or tape over the old buttons. Ugly, but functional.

If that's all it takes fine, it'll piss me off that I'll have to wrap my head around another set of colors, but the way I read the article was that the old guitars won't work.

[joshnickerson]

Sabetoge? Fucking awesome.

I hope they have the acoustic version as well (see Futurama Epsiode #S01E09)

Very under-whelming to me.

I wonder if they'll try to force xBox 360 owners into buying the whole game for $55 instead of just letting them purchase the new tracks online. I doubt that the game play itself will be significantly different so I can't see any reason other than greed to not to offer the tracks separately.

Agreed 100%. You can't imagine how disappointed I was when I first found out that the songs on the GH games were just covers and not by the original artists. I haven't purcahsed #2 because of this.

[rbudrick]

At first I thought, "new button design?! WTFBBQ!"

But, then I thought about it....what if they added a sixth button ...or two rows of buttons? They'd surely be getting closer to a real guitar that way. Sure, it would be more difficult, but GHII wasn't really that hard. There were only 5 or so songs I actually had any trouble on in Expert. I didn't go for 5 stars or anything, but just beating it wasn't that hard.

Guitar Hero 10 will be played on a real guitar if they were to keep adding shit heh heh.
