The game will also feature a bunch of newer tracks, like Kings of Leon's "Sex on Fire," Beck's "Gamma Ray" and Wolfmother's "Back Round," a fresh tune from the Australian rockers that's available now as a free download up on the GH5 Website.
Rock Daily took a test drive with GH5 at this year's E3 convention, trying out new features like the RockFest option and the instrument-swapping Party Mode. Guitar Hero 5 will be released on September 1st, giving it an eight-day head start on Harmonix/MTV Games' The Beatles: Rock Band. As previously announced, GH5's eclectic set list will also feature the Rolling Stone's Sympathy for the Devil, Nirvana's "Lithium," the White Stripes' "Blue Orchid," TV on the Radio, Kiss and many more.
