According to posters over on Score Hero, who claim to have got hold of the latest issue of Game Informer, a host of tracks for the upcoming Guitar Hero: Metallica have now been confirmed.
In addition to unannounced songs by Slayer, Queen and Foo Fighters, the game will also feature songs by bands who have worked or toured with Metallica.
Alice In Chains: No Excuses
Bob Seger: Turn The Page
Judas Priest: Hell Bent For Leather
Kyuss: Demon Cleaner
Lynyrd Skynyrd: Tuesdays Gone
Mastodon: Blood and Thunder
Michael Schenker Group: Armed and Ready
Samhain: Mother of Mercy
The Sword: Black River
The big attraction though will be the Metallica track list, which so far consists of the following:
Enter Sandman
For Whom The Bell Tolls
Fuel
Hit The Lights
King Nothing
Master of Puppets
No Leaf Clover
Nothing Else Matters
Sad But True
The Unforgiven
Where I May Roam
According to Game Informer the game will also feature a few new additions, notably the ability to play with two kick pedals, Pop-Up Video style tracks, the ability to use Metallica drum sounds on the drum fill and the availability of new guitar and bass tones as used by James Hetfield and Slayer’s Tom Araya.
Speaking with USA Today Metallica’s Lars Ulrich said: “We wanted a little bit of a different slant. Basically, you start out and you play some songs and you get warmed up, and there’s a competition. We’re trying to pick a band to play with us and go on the road with us.”
Kirk Hammett added: “It is kind of weird to know that people are going to have an experience that is going to be similar to my own experience playing and performing music. It’s going to open people up maybe to the prospect of taking the whole thing one step further and actually picking up an instrument. We might be rearing an entire culture of future musicians. That prospect is just super-cool.”
Guitar Hero: Metallica is scheduled for release in 2009.
