Wait! We were pretty much dead on? How does that happen with a "Rumored" list? Or was it the three Live tracks we didn't list as Live? Was that it? Maybe you nay sayers should trust in our awesome reporting skills.

Snark aside, I'm still going to hold to my guns on this being a very odd listing of tracks for the game. There are a bunch of songs that have already been out, from smaller "unknown" bands, and some that just don't make sense to have on Guitar Hero. Stevie Wonder and Elton John? Really? Those guys don't really scream Guitar Heroes to me. But I guess it is good to mix things up sometimes.

To make up for the above rant and rave though, here are few more shots and a video from the game. All showing off Shirley Manson of Garbage in Guitar Hero 5. Check them out and enjoy.
