Today Activision confirmed 24 songs to included on Guitar Hero 5’s already large 85-song setlist. The announced tracks range from the rap-rock of the Beastie Boys’ “Gratitude” to the guitar wizardry of Jeff Beck’s “Scatterbrain (Live).” Here is the track list announced today:

• Band Of Horses – “Cigarettes, Wedding Bands”
• Beastie Boys – “Gratitude”
• Beck – “Gamma Ray”
• Billy Squier – “Lonely Is The Night”
• Blur – “Song 2”
• Bob Dylan – “All Along The Watchtower”
• Children Of Bodom – “Done With Everything, Die For Nothing”
• Coldplay – “In My Place”
• Darkest Hour – “Demon(s)”
• David Bowie – “Fame”
• Deep Purple – “Woman From Tokyo (’99 Remix)”
• Elliott Smith – “L.A.”
• Iggy Pop – “Lust For Life (Live)”
• Jeff Beck – “Scatterbrain (Live)”
• John Mellencamp – “Hurts So Good”
• Kings Of Leon – “Sex On Fire”
• Queens Of The Stone Age – “Make It Wit Chu”
• Rose Hill Drive – “Sneak Out”
• Santana – “No One To Depend On (Live)”
• The Bronx – “Six Days A Week”
• Thrice – “Deadbolt”
• Tom Petty – “Runnin’ Down A Dream”
• Vampire Weekend – “A-Punk”
• Wolfmother – “Back Round”

This announcement ironically lands on the same day of EA releasing DLC news for Rock Band Unplugged and does nothing to extinguish the fires of competion between the two. Activision must be feeling very ambitious as they are also set to release the turntablist game DJ Hero for multiple platforms later this year. Guitar Hero 5 is pressed for release in September on Xbox 360, PS3, PS2, and Wii.
