Guitar Hero III initial set list

After announcing "Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks the '80s," it looks like the good people at Red Octane were anxious to keep with the good news. On top of "Rocks the '80s" and "Rock Band," we can all look forward to the next installment of "Guitar Hero III" (although it hasn't been officially named, yet).

And are the initial song announcements good?
  • Paint it Black - The Rolling Stones
  • Cherub Rock - The Smashing Pumpkins
  • Sabotage - Beastie Boys
  • The Metal - Tenacious D
  • My Name is Jonas - Weezer
  • Knights of Cydonia - Muse
  • Rock and Roll All Nite - Kiss
  • School's Out - Alice Cooper
  • Slow Ride - Foghat
  • Cult of Personality - Living Colour
  • Barracuda - Heart
Word. The more Heart the better, I always say. What's that Nancy Wilson? Turn it up?

The game will be released on four platforms: the 360, the PS3, the PS2, and the Wii.

I'll spare you from any puns that I was considering using coinciding with the lyrics to Heart's "Magic Man." But get ready, kids, because this sounds tasty. And the best part? This is only the first announcement.
