This, good sirs, is monstrous.
A quick note: if you've been keeping up with this game's songlist on Wiki, you may know some of these already. Just noting.
Also, glowing songs are me saying "Oh hell yes".
bump D=

Probably the only country song I've ever enjoyed. YESSS. <3

At this point, I'd say it's pretty much confirmed.
From what I hear, though, that was a list from about 70% done versions of GH3.
There will probably be some more songs in the bonus area, like the two VR songs and that Atreyu song we know will be in there.
That ROX!!!!!!!!
I love that Dead Kennedeys song! :)
They're so funny. Police truck is one of my favorite ones. ;D
We need a guitar hero board.

Ummm, ur an admin, make one nao
Black Magic Woman is one of Santana's best...anything Stevie Ray Vaughn is welcome, as well. Devil Went Down to Georgia is a good song...but I don't want it as the final encore as some are saying that it will be. As for Cream...meh, never been a Clapton fan. Those were the days when he was all right, though.
Everything else on the list I could care less about. I'm too hyped about Cult of Personality and Through the Fire & Flames (even though TtFaF will rape me and throw me out to dry). :p

I hope so.
Fall of Troy plz. D:
Woot.
Santana. :3
Devil Went Down To Georgia! Heck yea!
I'm actually learning the intro on guitar. :P
Can't wait for the game.
Funny, half of the songs you say "hell yes" for I say "oh god why?" for. So, this is pretty much confirmation that the leaked 70% list was real.
So yeah, cue everyone failing miserably on Cliffs of Dover. @_@
