Guitar Hero Live Announced by Activision

[Shawn Zipay]

Almost missed this one today but Guitar Hero Live was officially announced by Activision earlier. As the name implies, it's Guitar Hero but like... in front of real people. It also features a new guitar design that not too many are thrilled about.

Still don't have a good idea of what to expect? Kinda Funny Games shows off quite a bit more gameplay and how the crowd and bandmates will react to your performance.

So, what songs can you expect to play? Well, uhm, this is the list of songs and artists as compiled by people who have seen various gameplay videos and other media. It's by no means a complete list but it does seem to be a bit lacking especially for a game that is solely focused on the guitar.

Alter Bridge “City of Achilles”
American Authors “Best Day of My Life”
Band Of Skulls “Asleep At The Wheel”
Biffy Clyro “Sounds Like Balloons”
The Black Keys “Gold On The Ceiling”
Black Veil Brides
Blitz Kids “Sometimes”
Carrie Underwood
Ed Sheeran “Sing”
Fall Out Boy “My Songs Know What You Did In The Dark (Light Em Up)”
Gary Clark Jr. “Don’t Owe You A Thang”
The Gaslight Anthem
Green Day
Jake Bugg “What Doesn’t Kill You”
The Killers “When You Were Young”
The Lumineers
My Chemical Romance “Na Na Na Na”
Neon Trees
Of Monsters and Men “Little Talks”
Pierce The Veil
The Rolling Stones
Skaters
Skrillex
State Champs
Vampire Weekend
War on Drugs “Under The Pressure”
Weezer

Oh, and you won't be able to use your old instruments or import any of your old tracks. Welcome to Guitar Hero Live!
