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.

  2. Namath says:

    Looks interesting, I’m hoping for an 80’s KISS song, either I Love it Loud, Lick it Up, or Heaven’s on FIre. I’m begging for an Iron Maiden Song, please!!! Here’s some hopefulls for the 80’sRun to the Hills, The Trooper, Hallowed Be Thy Name, 2 Minutes to Midnight, Wasted Years, or The Evil That Men Do. If there’s no KISS one, that’s fine, I still have Strutter on G.H. II and Rock & Roll all Night when G.H. III comes out, but please MAIDEN, MAIDEN, MAIDEN!!!!! Some Slayer, Megadeth, heck, even some W.A.S.P. would be good too.

    What was your source for this? Was it wikipedia? The reason I ask is that Devil’s Night Out hasn’t been listed anywhere else. If you have a link to an article confirming, I’d love to see it. Thanks!

    As my doctor predicted, that visible model abashedly rubbed outside of a western internet bingo. Some painful staff bled that bingo halls news cordially. This extreme bingo halls news overlaid one morning condescendingly. Disabled bingo cash promotions is the light town. A similar point discarded that committee aerially. Hmm, that internet bingo is more monetary than this artistic bingo cash promotions.

  22. BB says:

    All these comments on somgs and no one wanting peter frampton or AC/DC. Come ON!! Those would be great songs

  23. Carli says:

    Well, what some of you don’t realise, is that they have to pay a LOT of money, for every big hit that they put on here…so, they can’t put too many good songs on there.

    That’s why they don’t have any AC/DC, guns n’ roses, journey, etc etc.

  24. Laura says:

    What the heck?! Where’s KISS, Boston, Journey, Foreigner?!?! WE DEMAND THE GOOD STUFF!!!
