GH: Warriors Of Rock! It’s Almost Time To Rock Out With Your Errr… Socks On!

GH: Warriors Of Rock! It’s Almost Time To Rock Out With Your Errr… Socks On!

Note: Before complaining to my editor about the title picture, if you look closely you will notice a guitar.

It’s Monday (no make that Wednesday, thanks Eishkom) and I’ve had the 2nd most awesome news of the day! The 1st most awesome news involves a certain editor in chief’s mom and… oh wait I can’t print that here. The 2nd bit of awesome news is Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock will ship in a month’s time!

Now now I know what you’re thinking. It’s another guitar hero with more rubbish tracks like Band Hero. But it isn’t! Not one tiny bit! The folk at Activision have seen the light and given Taylor Swift a bit of Kanye West.  Something like:

“Yo Taylor, I’m really happy for you, but I’m not going to let you finish because no one wants to play your songs… “

GH: Warriors of Rock is bringing the Rock back (Ed: Thank you Captain Obvious we can all read the name of the game). The full track list has finally been released and well some of those songs make me want to touch myself on my studio they’re so fucking kickass.

You’ve got some classics to jam to like:

  • Alice Cooper – “No More Mr. Nice Guy”
  • Deep Purple – “Burn”
  • Def Leppard – “Pour Some Sugar On Me (Live)”
  • Dire Straits – “Money For Nothing” <– OMG JIZZ IN MY PANTS
  • Metallica & Ozzy Osbourne – “Paranoid (Live)”
  • ZZ Top – “Sharp Dressed Man (Live)”
  • Queen – “Bohemian Rhapsody” Wayne’s World Anyone?
  • Twisted Sister – “We’re Not Gonna Take It”

Some Megadeth to shred to:

  • Megadeth – “Sudden Death”
  • Megadeth – “Holy Wars… The Punishment Due”
  • Megadeth – “This Day We Fight!”

A song that will make everyone want to play bass:

  • The White Stripes – “Seven Nation Army”

A blondie Reincarnation:

  • Muse – “Uprising”

And a tune for when you’re feeling emo but don’t want to listen to the music of gaylords:

  • The Offspring – “Self Esteem”

I could go on, but I’m sure no-one has read this far.

Our friends at Megarom will be bringing this in around the 28th September so be on the lookout.
