Guitar Hero: World Tour Setlist
I prefer Rock Band but am lucky enough to be able to enjoy the charms of both guitar driven musical monoliths. Rock Band 2 is out – my copy is AWOL – and it’s setlist is unparalleled. Guitar Hero, not to be outdone, has revealed their setlist and I think RB edges it out just a bit in terms of hipsterism and consistency. I think GH is a bit more fakey and mainstream… and tongue-in-cheek. Nothing wrong with that, especially when GH has a new create a song mode RB doesn’t. Here’s the list, judge for yourself.

It’s a good list. It’s a solid list. It’s a … well… it’s a bland radio list if you ask me. They have the radio stuff but are missing the deep cuts. They have Hotel California but . . . well, they do have Hotel California. Such a lovely place. Plenty of room I hear. Any time of year.

Ted Nugent … I used to like that song from whatever live album it was on … I probably still have it with the hundreds of other records in storage …

My tastes seem to be similar to yours. Most of the ones you bolded is most likely what I’d get the most plays out of. Might pick up just the disc, seeing as I’ve only sunk like 20 hours into GH3 and I don’t need a million plastic intruments laying around.
