First GH Metallica track list, details News

PlayStation 2 Xbox 360 PlayStation 3 Wii
News by Oli Welsh

15 December, 2008

The American magazine Game Informer has secured the first details on Guitar Hero: Metallica, the second in the series to feature a headline band after this year's Aerosmith game. You can find a precis at the Score Hero forum.

Once again, the track listing mixes Metallica's own work with a smattering of supporting metal acts. Foo Fighters, Queen, Slayer, Judas Priest, Mastodon and Samhain will back up a Metallica greatest-hits compilation including Enter Sandman, Master of Puppets and For Whom The Bell Tolls.

Naturally it supports the full Guitar Hero World Tour kit, with drums and vocals joining guitar and bass. You can also use Metallica- and Slayer-influenced sounds in the GHTunes recording studio.

There's a new Expert Plus drumming difficulty that supports two kick pedals, a freestyle drum fill mode, and a bunch of bonus content: trivia, photos, set lists and footage.

It's list time again! The songs confirmed so far are as follows:

  • Enter Sandman - Metallica
  • For Whom The Bell Tolls - Metallica
  • Fuel - Metallica
  • Hit The Lights - Metallica
  • King Nothing - Metallica
  • Master of Puppets - Metallica
  • No Leaf Clover - Metallica
  • Nothing Else Matters - Metallica
  • Sad But True - Metallica
  • The Unforgiven - Metallica
  • Where I May Roam - Metallica
  • No Excuses - Alice in Chains
  • Turn The Page - Bob Seger
  • Hell Bent For Leather - Judas Priest
  • Demon Cleaner - Kyuss
  • Tuesdays Gone - Lynyrd Skynyrd
  • Blood and Thunder - Mastodon
  • Armed and Ready - Michael Schenker Group
  • Mother of Mercy - Samhain
  • Black River - The Sword

I'll cry if they don't include 'One'...good (if somewhat obvious) tracklisting though.

Agree with Azazel, I love that song.
The track listing isn't too bad, not enough songs to warrant a £40 price tag mind.

I'd quite like to play along to more Metallica, but I'll be sticking to the other side. Curious as to how the second pedal fits in though. Some open hi-hat action or double bass pedal rolls perhaps?
oef!

Beautiful... But I can't be bothered to support the GH franchise anymore after buying GHII GHIII en GH:WT. I love old Metallica songs but it ends here.

I'll cry if they don't include 'One'.
It was already in GH2 or 3.... So they will probably include it so they can charge you twice for the song :p

I'm not a Metallica fan (hated One on GH3, bastard caned my ass 80% of the way through the song CONSTANTLY), but good to see Queen in there finally, even though they don't say what track.

Hopefully that'll turn up on Rock Band so I can just purchase it without the Metallica padding ;)

Surely the Queen track would be Stone Cold Crazy, as Metallica have covered it in the past.

I don't think Lynyrd Skynyrd are particularly metal, but they're good so I don't mind. I'd laugh if they put Megadeth in there.

It was okay, considering the jizz they'd been putting out for a while, but none of the tracks would have made it onto one of their actual decent albums (and considering even they had the odd poor track, that's saying something).

There's always one isn't there? Why can't you Metallica snobs just accept the fact that the music evolved? Go and listen to the old albums if thats all you like, but for God's sake stop moaning about the newer stuff.

Was really hoping for Orion and Sanitarium, given the last time i saw Met they hardly played any of their 90's stuff i'm surprised there's so much here. Still should be good though.

ah but crazy horse, the new stuff is fucking shite. not my opinion either....

ride the lightning, mop and ajfa were absolutly fucking epic, groundbreaking albums, each one changed the way thrash metal was written, played and recorded. then bob rock came in and changed everything, he alone convinced the band that playing and recording that type of music was complicated and expensive. dollar signs. i dont actually like lars that much, theres better drummers out there by miles but it was him that wanted to do things the old way. but he was swayed to do the black album and commercialise one of the best sounds of the 80's. funny how bands like maiden still make conceptual, multi-layered and complex music and still make a fortune doing it. says enough imo

True, but Death Magnetic (produced by Rick Rubin) is actually a good album, and gets better the more I listen (and play along) to it. Has the intensity of 'Justice' (previously my favourite Metallica album), but far less monotonous and with a bass guitar you can actually hear.

Death Magnetic is a superb album. I was the biggest cynic of all after the dross they've knocked up recently (Black album onwards). But I'm not ashamed to say I was proven wrong.

However, it does seem to be "in" at the moment to bash Metallica and to those people nothing they do now will suffice. I firmly believe that those people, if ...And Justice For All (my personal favorite) came out, would shoot it down instantly.

This is the song list 'so far', so hopefully that'll still make it in... along with Motorbreath and Battery ideally.

@aphexstwin - most of the issue was the loss of Cliff Burton, he guided Metallica from a pretty good thrash band to what they became in their Lighting / Puppets stage and was still heavily influential, despite his death, in Justice.

@redneon - I don't know about it being 'in' right now to bash Metallica, most people who were fans of Metallica when they were creating their early albums dislike the new music because it's not the Metallica they know and it's a completely different type of music. They haven't 're-invented' themselves so much as become so utterly different from their routes that original fans have become alienated and, probably, a little bitter.

I couldn't disagree more... I've been a fan of Metallica since 1984, but went off them when the albums turned to pop and the live shows turned into circus farce (i.e. when the black album was released). Like redneon, "... And Justice For All" is my all-time favourite Metallica album, and "Death Magnetic" sounds like a cross between that and "The $5.99 E.P.: Garage Days Re-revisited".

To me that is the old Metallica I know and love and, judging by the comments I've seen on the forums, iTunes, etc., I see plenty of other fans from the early days saying the same thing. In fact the more I listen to it (every day in the car on my way to/from work), the more I'm convinced Death Magnetic will replace "Justice" as my favourite Metallica album.

I can see one or two Queen songs working in GH ("Stone Cold Crazy" or "Sheer Heart Attack" for example), but I wouldn't describe them as a "metal act". I think it must be a typo.

Bound to be Stone Cold Crazy isn't it? Since Metallica covered it 'n all.

Not that impressed with the tracklisting (too many Black album and newer songs for me) but Samhain's presence guarantees my money. Fingers crossed for the Misfits and some NWOBHM (Am I Evil? original please! Breadfan please!)

Considering that the Lynyrd Skynyrd and Bob Seger tracks mentioned here were both covered by Metallica in their Garage Inc. collection, it's definitely a fair bet that the Queen song would be Stone Cold Crazy since it's from the same collection.

And to be honest, all three of those can fuck right off. Where the hell is Blue Oyster Cult's Astronomy? It was by far the best cover in that collection, plus it's a fantastic song to begin with.

I'm still holding out hope that Diamond Head will feature, 'The Prince' or 'Am I Evil' will do nicely.

I guess I'm listening to a different death magnetic, then, 'cause it lacks both the raw energy of really early Metallica and the focused sound of Metallica circa Lightning, Puppets and Justice. Although Justice was the beginning of the transition away from the music that actually made them due to Jason's arrival and the power shift in the band.

"To me that is the old Metallica I know and love and, judging by the comments I've seen on the forums, iTunes, etc., I see plenty of other fans from the early days saying the same thing. In fact the more I listen to it (every day in the car on my way to/from work), the more I'm convinced Death Magnetic will replace "Justice" as my favourite Metallica album."

Again, we must know different fans. Although I only know one who thinks Justice is their best album, and he's a contrary fellow at the best of times; most will plump for Puppets or Lightning.

I'm surprised to see so much love for ...And Justice For All. I hate that album. Although I should clarify, I hate the SOUND of that album, the boomy bass and thin sounding drums ruined some classic tracks. It's a real shame because Harvester of Sorrow is immense but I can't bare to listen to it!

Kill 'Em All FTW though, Hit the Lights solo is my joint favourite with Testaments Return To Serenity. I might buy this game just for that.
