I've just learned that www.theprp.com reported yesterday that pre-order boxes for Guitar Heroâ„¢ Encore: Rocks the 80sâ„¢ have revealed another 7 tracks to the list:

• Anthrax - "Caught In A Mosh"
• Iron Maiden - "Wrathchild"
• .38 Special - "Hold on Loosely"
• White Lion - "Radar Love"
• Scorpions - "No One Like You"
• The Vapors - "Turning Japanese"
• Winger - "Seventeen"

These 7 join 17 others previously announced for the game which ships July 17th according to the Gamestop website:

• "We Got The Beat" (The Go-Go's)
• "Balls To The Wall" (as made famous by Accept)
• "Only A Lad"(as made famous by Oingo Boingo)
• "The Warrior" (as made famous by Scandal)
• "18 And Life" (as made famous by Skid Row)
• "Bathroom Wall" (as made famous by Faster Pussycat)
• "Lonely Is The Night" (as made famous by Billy Squier)
• "Nothin' But A Good Time" (as made famous by Poison)
• "Play With Me" (as made famous by Extreme)
• "Shaken" (as made famous by Eddie Money)
• "Synchronicity II" (as made famous by The Police)
• "I Wanna Rock" (Twisted Sister) (original recording)
• "I Ran" (Flock Of Seagulls) (original recording)
• "Round And Round" (as made famous by Ratt)
• "Metal Health" (as made famous by Quiet Riot)
• "Holy Diver" (as made famous by Dio)
• "Heat Of The Moment" (as made famous by Asia)

It fills my heart to know it isn't all "glam rock" or "hair metal" ballads. Anthrax, Iron Maiden and the Scorpions make excellent additions. This list is turning out better than I had hoped, I still think the estimated price is a bit steep and I'm still curious what the last 6 or so songs are, but I think I'm more enthused about that game now that most of the songs are known.
