[E3 2009] Guitar Hero 5: A tracklist to rock out to

So - they're making a big fuss over DJ Hero, but Activision haven't forgotten the little man, the kid who dreams of growing up to be a rock god, the guy jammin' out on his funky funky air guitar... and to prove it, they've taken the wraps off of the band lineup for Guitar Hero 5.

Including some of the biggest rock artists and the most prolific bands of all time, Guitar Hero 5 is set to rock out in more ways than you can imagine - with any combination of instrument controllers.
