Unveiling 24 more songs to Guitar Hero 5′s massive 85 song list (not including new songs added for download in the future) Activision gives a taste of their variety in this upcoming title by announcing such hits as Iron Maiden’s “2 minutes to midnight”, Rush’s “The Spirit of Radio” (an exclusive live recording), No Doubt’s “Ex-Girlfriend” and much much more.
That’s not the big news that excites me however as not only will GH5 feature the unreleased single “Medicate” from AFI’s upcoming album Crash Love (available in game before the album’s release) but also Two legendary acts will join forces for the greater good of the global gaming… group.
Public enemy and Zakk Wylde have teamed up for an exclusive re-recording of Public Enemy’s rap anthem “Bring the noise 20xx”. You will love it, and you will only be able to enjoy it on Guitar Hero 5.
On top of all this GH5 goodness, a number of bands will pop their proverbial game cherry such as A perfect circle, Brand new, Eagles of death metal, Gorillaz, Gov’t Mule, Grand Funk Railroad, King Crimson, Peter Frampton, Spacehog (wow, that’s a band name I haven’t heard in a LONG time), Sunny day, Real estate, and the Derek trucks band.
I’m not sure what I’m more excited for with Guitar Hero 5′s release on September 1st, all these new bands that have never been in a game before, or the Zakk Wylde / Public Enemy collaboration. No wait… I’m definitely more excited for more Zakk Wylde!
