Activision is intent on putting out 8-10 Guitar Hero games per year, so it’s kind of hard to keep up with things like track announcements for their upcoming games. Recently, the first tracks from Guitar Hero 5 were made known to the public. They are:
Johnny Cash – Ring of Fire
Santana – No One To Depend On
Bob Dylan – All Along the Watchtower
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers – Runnin’ Down a Dream
Vampire Weekend – A-Punk
The White Stripes – Blue Orchid
The Rolling Stones – Sympathy for the Devil
Kings of Leon – Sex on Fire
Stevie Wonder – Superstition
So some of those are pretty awesome, and I’ve been waiting a long time to see Tom Petty make his way to these games, but I think I’m burnt out on the Guitar Hero franchise. I’ve noticed that at parties Rock Band is the only one that gets pulled out anymore due to the much better and larger DLC support. Disc swapping is annoying. Unless a real innovation is unveiled in Guitar Hero 5, I’ll stick with my Rock Band bias.
