So I've read some of the press releases and they're keeping most of it underwraps for now. From what I've heard, it's going to be the same exact format as GH2 but with 80's songs. I'm still very intrigued. I haven't read anything on the lines of the playlist, only rumors.

So far I've heard;

There will be some basic hair metal songs. AC/DC, Whitesnake, Poison, Motley Crue, Def Leppard... to name a few. Also heard, no Metallica.

Then there will be some good music. Dead Kennedys, old Chili Peppers, possibly Misfits.

I'm wondering how they're going to work in more synth pop stuff, like Depeche Mode, etc.

Again, this is what I've read... probably all rumors. Judging from the last two though, they do seem to mix up the music well so everyone's happy.

Anybody hear anything, please post what playlists you've heard so far. Actually, post what playlist you'd like to see too!

oh yes!

Must be for friggin xbox.

Nah, it's only for PS2 atleast for the June release. I think Guitar Hero 3 will be for PS2/3 and Xbox360.

They just released the first track of songs for the game.

I Wanna Rock (by Twisted Sister)
I Ran (by Flock of Seagulls)
Round and Round (as made famous by Ratt)
I Want Candy (as made famous by Bow Wow Wow)
Metal Health (as made famous by Quiet Riot)
Holy Diver (as made famous by Dio)
Heat Of The Moment (as made famous by Asia)

There's also a Guitar Hero III scheduled for release in the fall. It is being made by another company but will feature additional material online for download as well as online multiplayer for all platforms. Should be sweet...
