Damn I wanna play Guitar Hero II now, see if I'm now magically good enough to 5* Hangar 18. I havn't played it since I beat Jordan ;p

@James - titles of the news story says "tracks revealed for guitar hero 2" rather than "greatest hits".

Free Bird will be SO much more fun to play. I like that GH2 demanded accuracy, but sometimes I just wanna prat about :P

Track listing is looking promising - any one know if they will be the cover versions used in the original guitar hero games or if they have now got the master recordings for these tracks?

Only downside is only 48 tracks taken from 4 different releases - there are over 80 on each of the RB setlists.
But at the same time with tracks like The Trooper, Free Bird, Killing in the Name of, Shout at the Devil - I'm certainly very interested.

I have read that you can't add any of these songs to your world tour set lists and vice versa and that you can't play any of your DLC with these discs. Think GH may be making a mistake if this is the case as I'm sure having to keep swapping discs will put some people off.

EDIT - I've just checked on Wiki and it says that all the tracks are master recordings - so happy days, but they also confirm about not being able to play these along side tracks from World Tour or Metallica - not so happy days.
