Yesterday we saw a fact sheet about Guitar Hero Metallica. Maybe Megan Fox will rock out some of the tunes in today’s track list for GHM, which is below. If you haven’t seen it, check out the trailer for Guitar Hero: Metallica.

I’ve sprinkled some commentary in the track list.

Metallica’s influential music takes center stage this spring when Activision Publishing Inc.’s Guitar Hero® Metallica®
takes music fans through the band’s fabled library of songs, plus the
music and musicians who influence them. When the house lights go down
this spring, virtual rock stars across the globe will shred, drum and
wail to an explosive set list featuring over 45 tracks from Metallica’s
illustrious career and a wide variety of other legendary artists
personally selected by the band, such as Queen, Foo Fighters, Bob
Seger, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Slayer and Judas Priest. Featuring tracks from
every Metallica studio album, the complete Guitar Hero Metallica on-disc set list will include their following hits:

• “All Nightmare Long”
• “Battery”———————–Good luck with this one. You’ll need to get in shape for it.
• “Creeping Death”————-A classic. Respect it.
• “Disposable Heroes”
• “Dyers Eve”————————-A fat burner. You had better stretch.
• “Enter Sandman”——————————–Piece o’ cake.

• “King Nothing”——————”New” Metallica, but this song just DRIVES. Accept it.
• “Master of Puppets”———————Lots of crazy changes and sweet cymbal catches.
• “Mercyful Fate”
• “No Leaf Clover”
• “Nothing Else Matters”
• “One”——–If you don’t like this song, you don’t like rock/metal. Go listen to Pink.
• “Orion”

• “Seek And Destroy”
• “The Memory Remains”
• “The Shortest Straw”
• “The Thing That Should Not Be”
