Guitar Hero Encore Song List!

Posted in Guitar Hero, Official, Previews by ubersoldat on May 29th, 2007.

For those about to rock, we salute the 80’s. Rather than release a full-blown sequel to the Guitar Hero series, Harmonix developed an expansion that serves as a tribute to the short-lived hair metal era, calling it Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks the 80s. And although this is the last Guitar Hero title that Harmonix is producing, it won’t be the last GH title; Activision’s Neversoft division will be taking over future GH game developing. Furthermore, GH Encore will be hitting all the next-gen consoles, including the Wii. Check out the following partial song list!

1. Opening Licks
“I Want Candy” - Bow Wow Wow
“Holy Diver” - Dio
“Metal Health” - Quiet Riot (Encore)

2. Amp Warmers
“Nothin’ But a Good Time” - Poison
“I Wanna Rock” - Twisted Sister

3. String Snappers
“Lonely is the Night” - Billy Squier
“Synchronicity II” - The Police
“Heat of the Moment” - Asia
“Shakin’” - Eddie Money
“Bathroom Wall” - Faster Pussycat (Encore)

4. Return of the Shred
“Round and Round” - Ratt
“I Ran (So Far Away)” - A Flock of Seagulls

5. Relentless Riffs
“Play With Me” - Extreme

6. Furious Fretwork
“18 and Life” - Skid Row

The following songs have yet to be categorized into stages:

“Balls to the Wall” - Accept
“Only a Lad” - Oingo Boingo
“The Warrior” - Scandal
“We Got the Beat” - The Go-Go’s
“Devil’s Night Out” - The Mighty Mighty Bosstones

There are 30 songs total, 11 yet to be announced. They’ve also licensed the class Gibson Les Paul guitar for the next-gen platforms, which means that the unfortunate PS2 will get stuck with the Gibson Kramer. Guitar Hero Encore will hit stores this June, and will be followed up in the fall with Guitar Hero III. Check out the official Rock the 80’s website for more exclusive multimedia.
