Friend of mine suggested to me that it might actually be a Dragonforce track afterall. Two songs we looked at last night have 11 and 13 solo's respectively: Fury of the Storm and Soldiers of the Wasteland, off the Sonic Firestorm cd.

Now while I don't particularly care for DF (most of their songs sound so identical, you could swap lyrics and people probably wouldnt notice) I *am* down for playing something that shred-heavy hehee

A) Make sure you get issue 110. 109 has a Guitar Hero 1 fully unlocked save file.

B) Know that snazzy new Wireless V controller you just bought? Guess what doesn't fucking work with the demo.

Three more songs revealed via a Marketing display at a Gamestop.

Wolfmother - Woman
Stray Cats - Rock This Town
Danzig - Mother

Also, Killing in the Name is now officially confirmed.

Someone get Woman and Rock This Town into the mp3 thread, stat.

Guitar Hero 2 will be beautiful.

Actually, it wasn't confirmed exactly which song titled "Woman" it was. Could also be Pink Floyd.

I'm just assuming it's Danzig hell yeah

The demo has 4 guitars, Judy Nails and some other schmoe that I don't remember the name of. (he's new and has slick hair)

Songs:

Shout at the Devil - I got bored through it. It's not exactly easy, but it's very repetitive.

You Really Got Me - This was fun. 3 button chords are .

Strutter - This song just rocks.

YYZ - I failed the first try. D: Guitar Hero II is gonna be a big step up in difficulty from the first one. Especially considering this is in the "Opening Licks" section.

I can't fucking wait.

Oh, and I dunno if it means anything..probably not, but remember the Freebird quote from GH1?

"Remember, no Stairway."

Zepp in GH3?

The demo is horribly limited. Quick play and that's it. Wait for the EB demo, it's bound to be better.

What more is there to do besides Quick Play? I mean, what more do you need? And what EB Demo are you refering to?

Also, YYZ is considered an easy song?

A) Nothing, but there's no sign of multiplayer. Granted, I don't have two guitars...hold on I'll go hook up another dual shock and see if something else is un-grayed out.

B) I'm assuming EB will get a demo just like they did for GH1. It had like 10 songs and multiplayer. This is just my speculation.

C) YYZ is in the opening licks along with the rest of the songs. I don't know if they're gonna stay there...but if they are...

A) People have been saying that this demo features Coop mode, which is the sweetest thing ever. My friends are going to be rocking out to this as soon as we get a copy of the demo.

B) Oh.

C) If that's the case, I doubt YYZ is going to remain there. It seems like, at the very least, a middle-tier song.

Well, there's no co-op with one SG and one Dual Shock, so I don't know if it has to detect two GH controllers or what.

Jessica and Sweet Child o' Mine look like mad fun. Them Bones looks like the new Unsung; an only moderately difficult, high scoring song, that I inexplicably cannot five star.

Of the ones shown, I'm looking forward to Jessica the most, even though its many hammer-ons and pull-offs will likely make me cry like a small school girl.

The one that seemed to be the most boring was Them Bones.

Just got done messing around with the demo from OPM. Bought it from a Waldenbooks like an hour ago.

Messed around with Co-op (yes, there is co-op, you have to have 2 guitars hooked up to play it though, dual shocks won't work), YYZ will kick you in the balls if you're playing base, nuff said.

Anyway, after messing around with co-op for a while, and failing to YYZ three times in a row on expert, went in Quick Play and finished the fucker with 4 stars. (Guess my bro needs to get a bit better. Then again, the base guitar for YYZ is fucking insane.)

I REALLY, REALLY, REALLY like the new hammer-ons and pull-offs. Much better.

There is no cooperative experience to compare with YYZ, and I say this completely without hyperbole.

I was fucking floored all through dinner, just thinking about that playthrough. This line is slight hyperbole.
