While Rock Band 3 may be set to introduce a new wave with keyboard gameplay, Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock, announced in June, will have an all-new story-based mode voiced by KISS front man, Gene Simmons. Now Activision has announced that Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock will feature two exclusive tracks specifically re-recorded for the game when it releases in the fall. Rock Legends Alice Cooper and The Runaways made their way back to the studio to re-record their respective songs ‘No More Mr. Nice Guy’ and ‘Cherry Bomb’.
“I AM a Warrior of Rock! Younger fans getting exposed to true classic rock songs is one of my personal crusades,” Alice Cooper enthused. “The new audience listening to the classic songs of today, like ‘No More Mr. Nice Guy’, will hopefully be inspired to write the classic songs of tomorrow.”
In addition, Activision has revealed a further 20 songs to feature on the game’s set list. These songs will join the previously announced tracks for Warriors of Rock and include the following:
- No More Mr. Nice Guy – Alice Cooper.
