Partial Guitar Hero II Setlist 40
Eurogamer reports on the release of a partial setlist for the Guitar Hero sequel. From the article: "Ostensibly to trail its E3 showing next week, RedOctane's said we can expect Black Sabbath's 'War Pigs', Butthole Surfers' 'Who Was in My Room Last Night?', KISS' 'Strutter', Rush's 'YYZ', Reverend Horton Heat's 'Psychobilly Freakout' and Van Halen's 'You Really Got Me' in GH2. There'll also be an original recording by Drist called Arterial Black - and Drist, whose Marcus Henderson was the original Guitar Hero guitarist - will be performing in one of a few mini-concerts planned for GH2's showing in E3's Kentia Hall."

I just went to Digg.com, and... EVERY article is less news-worthy, on the front page. And lower-quality writing, to boot. I personally like the articles about "Amazing pictures of sand!" and "Web Will Run Out of Addresses by 2012"
Fail.

I enjoy Zonk's stories, even when they're often not 'amazing' or '100% final fact', usually because with games especially, there's so much rumor and not fact, when a game comes out. I mean, being a gamer means you realize that development schedules and deadlines change constantly, and therefore not a whole lot is released about a game, and not much is really "certainly" known until release. Therefore, no

Assuming by "the way they made the game," you mean "as cheaply as possible," true enough. By rerecording the tracks they only need to pay the cover artists a flat fee and the songwriter a percentage. (Indeed, you don't even need their permission to cover the song if you're willing to pay the rates set by the copyright office [copyright.gov]. Assuming they didn't negotiate better terms, each copy of Guitar Hero sold included $2.73 for the

I'll be happy to see anything from one of the following; Probot, STP, Sublime, or TOOL. "Hooker with a Penis" has infinite unlockable content possibilities.
"will these be actual recording artist tracks"
Probably not. Not only are rights an issue, but you'd have to get the artist to re-record it. Re-sampling it would sound crappy.

Of course, the song may be based on the Van Halen version, but since it's going to be performed by a cover band anyway, they should at least credit the songwriter. (Not that "You Really Got Me" is anywhere near the best of the Kinks' work, but they get little enough credit as it is).
