Guitar Hero II Reveals Set List

Find out what songs you will be rocking out to when the eagerly awaited sequel hits later this year.

While the sing-along rock classics that made the first Guitar Hero so popular are still there, the confirmed set list for Guitar Hero II, as reported by 1Up, shows that the folks at developer Harmonix aren't above stirring things up.

Greybeards will appreciate the horns-in-the-air ruckus kicked up by such hit tracks as Motley Crue's Shout at the Devil and Guns 'N' Roses' Sweat Child O' Mine, while the new breed of headbangers can find ditties more their style thanks to the inclusion of artists such as Lamb of God and Avenged Sevenfold.

There's no confirmation that this is all there will be, so there could be more in the waiting when the game is released later this year. Unlike last time, when Europeans had to sit through an agonising wait, would-be guitar heroes and heroines can expect the game in November, just weeks after the game arrives in the US.

Below is the list of songs confirmed so far:

• Nirvana - Heart-Shaped Box
• Primus - John the Fisherman
