More Guitar Hero 80's Edition News
According to GameSpot and 1Up, the new title of this summer's Guitar Hero game is Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks the 80's.

The updated track list known so far:

• "Lonely Is the Night" (Billy Squier)
  
• "Synchronicity II" (Police)
  
• "18 and Life" (Skid Row)
• "Bathroom Wall" (Faster Pussycat)
• "Nothing But a Good Time" (Poison)
• "Shakin'" (Eddie Money)
• "Play With Me" (Extreme)
  
• "Metal Health" (Quiet Riot)
  
• "Heat of the Moment" (Asia)
• "I Wanna Rock" (Twisted Sister)
• "Holy Diver" (Dio)
  
• "I Ran" (Flock of Seagulls)
• "Round and Round" (Ratt)
• "I Want Candy" (Bow Wow Wow)

The speculation from this title is that this might be part of a "Spin-Off" series called "Guitar Hero Encore." At one point RedOctane (or was it Harmonix) suggested all kinds of Guitar Hero spin-offs, including a Country & Western version for the U.S. (which I'd probably skip...), a pure "Heavy Metal" version, and an 80's version.

Man... I could imagine a "Guitar Hero Encore: Woodstock Edition" with music from the Vietnam War era that would be killer. Okay, sure, I wasn't born when some of those songs came out, but still.... Would be nice to get some more Hendrix, Jefferson Airplane, CCR action...

Very cool potential here. Can't wait for the game to be released. It looks like it might be a mid-July thing.
