Activision today confirmed two dozen more tracks that will be included in the massive eighty-five song set list featured in Guitar Hero 5. From the legendary sounds of Bob Dylan’s All Along The Watchtower (perhaps this is heresy, but I’d have preferred the Hendrix version) to the Beastie Boys’ rock and hip-hop hybrid Gratitude, the game will bring a great deal of variety to the Guitar Hero music library. Numerous bands will also make their music videogame debut in Guitar Hero 5, with Band of Horses, Darkest Hour, Elliott Smith, John Mellencamp, Rose Hill Drive, The Bronx, Tom Petty, and Vampire Weekend appearing on the disc.
