Guitar Hero 5 tracklisting announced…

Activision unleashed the tracklisting for the upcoming, “Guitar Hero 5”. The game features Shirley Manson as a character as she will be singing, “Only Happy When It Rains”, the Garbage hit for the game.

I’m impressed they included Megadeth’s “Sweating Bullets”. I also liked how they put one of my favorite songs of all time Rammstein’s “Du Hast”. Dire Straits, “Sultans of Swing” and Johnny Cash’s, “Ring of Fire”? Elton John even makes his Guitar Hero debut, this is the first time the Rocket Man has been in a Guitar Hero game.

See the list here:

I’m probably going to get this one.

Confirmed: Green Day in studio working on new album with Butch Vig (Nirvana’s “Nevermind” producer)…

Shirley Manson the former Garbage singer was the first to bring up the news that Green Day is in the studio working on a new album with Nirvana producer, Butch Vig.

Turns out that the news is true, after Green Day posted a video in their official youtube account with the band recording in the studio with Butch Vig in the studio with the band.

The band is in the studio recording their follow up from 2004’s “American Idiot” which an excellent album by the way, their best record they’ve ever done in my opinion.
