Band on the Run takes a World Tour

For those of you who'd like to see The Beatles make their way into some music game, you might be able to have a nice consolation prize. Guitar Hero: World Tour has just been confirmed to include a plethora of new tracks, one of which is Paul McCartney & Wings' "Band on the Run." Whether you're a fan of the man's post-Beatles efforts or not, you have to admit it's a catchy tune.

The full list of confirmed tracks is after the break.

Rolling Stone confirms these tracks for the game:

Dream Theater - "Pull Me Under"
Filter - "Hey Man Nice Shot"
NOFX - "Soul Doubt"
Rise Against - "Re-Education (Through Labor)"
Steve Miller - "The Joker"
The Answer - "Never Too Late"
The Stone Roses - "Love Spreads"
Trust - "Anti-Social"
Wings - "Band on the Run"

Other classic rock fans will also appreciate Steve Miller's "The Joker." Any tracks here that make you lean one way or the other in the great Rock Band vs Guitar Hero debate?

Interested in what tracks made the cut in Guitar Hero: World Tour? There's been a lot of talk lately about the talent that'll be featured in the game. Have you heard about Mii support, or the great music creation features, or how it won't have a "No Fail" option?

i know no one seems to like rock band on the wii, but i'm a proud owner and i enjoy it. it's great for parties, too, compared to GH3.

right now, i'm leaning towards rock band 2 because of the tracklist. i love the diversity of the artists and i'm a huge fan of most of the tracks.

the only track that has me interested in GHWT is "beat it." that solo is going to be insanely fun to play on guitar.

At first, I thought "Whoa! NoFX is going to be in this one?! That really surprises me..." .....then I realized which song they contributed. In the typical NoFX humor style, it was Soul Doubt. Say the name out loud if you don't get it.

Hilarious.

Still not a fan of rhythm games, though. I only ever liked Feet of Fury for the DC, and I only played that with the regular controller.
