From the latest issue ofNintendo Powercomes the set list for the upcoming Nintendo DS portable concert,Guitar Hero: On Tour. Take a gander for a moment, if you can pull yourselves away from the collage your’re making from your back issues ofTiger BeatandBOP.
“Do What You Want” – OK Go“All The Small Things” – Blink 182“Spiderwebs” – No Doubt“Are You Gona Be My Girl” – Jet“We’re Not Gonna Take It” – Twisted Sister“All Star” – Smash Mouth“Breed” – Nirvana“Jessie’s Girl” – Rick Springfield“Hit Me With Your Best Shot” – Pat Benatar“This Love” – Maroon 5“Heaven” – Los Lonely Boys“Helicopter” – Bloc Party“China Grove” – The Doobie Brothers“Rock and Roll All Nite” – KISS (cover by Line 6)“What I Want” – Daughtry
Well OK then.Thatjust happened. The problem here is not the quality of the songs — that’s all subjective, and personal preference. The issue I see is the completely and utter lack of “the rock.” Outside of a few tracks like Twisted Sister or KISS, a lot of this seems like the “rock” you hear on most top 40 stations (and I listen to them in my car, so I know, God damn it).
There’s no way of knowing if this list is complete (15 songs does seem kind of short), so it’s entirely possible Guitar Hero: On Tour will retain the rock spirit when it ships this June.
