Today in Guitar Hero News: World Tour Getting Re-recorded tracks from Motorhead; Lacking “No Fail” Option; Noel Gallagher’s Priceless Quote of the Day

Another day, another round of Guitar Hero: World Tour news. It is actually starting to get really boring if you ask me, and I am very tired of hearing about it. Short of Led Zeppelin, Godsmack, or The Beatles being added to the play list, I could honestly give a damn anymore to be honest with you.  At least that is how I felt until Noel Gallagher from Oasis got diarrhea of the mouth. But I will get to that in a minute.

First off, according to Joystiq, there will not be a party-friendly “No Fail” option included in GHWT like its rival Rock Band 2. Nor will you be able to save a failing bandmate – instead you will basically be allowed to miss more notes than in Rock Band and still stay alfloat. While you may think that this makes the difficulty easier in the game, GHWT will provide you with a detailed analysis after each song. This will effect your overall score, so I suppose it evens out a bit. We shall see though.

Secondly, Activison sent us a press release stating that Motorhead along with The Sex Pistols and MC5 will provide some re-records for GHWT. Here is the rundown:

• MC5 – “Kick Out The Jams” (1968): Featuring the vocals recorded by Rob Tyner in 1968, Wayne Kramer was joined by friends Jerry Cantrell of Alice in Chains and Gilby Clark formerly of Guns ‘N’ Roses  at The Woodshed Recorder, studio of composer and ex-Oingo Boingo keyboardist Richard Gibbs – to update and modernize the sound without taking away from the original visceral garage sound that made MC5 famous and helped start the Punk Rock revolution.

• The Sex Pistols – “Pretty Vacant” (1977):  Last year when they re-recorded “Anarchy in the U.K.” for GH3, The Sex Pistols – with original members John Lydon on vocals, guitarist Steve Jones, drummer Paul Cook and producer Chris Thomas – also re-recorded “Pretty Vacant” utilizing the original analog sound board (circa 1969) that was built for George Martin at Air Studios, London, England in order to maintain the classic sound.

• Motörhead – “Overkill” (1979): Lemmy and the boys returned to the studio to re-record their hit which should make mullet haired men in thier 30’s who still drive cameros with t-tops pretty happy.

Thirdly, and lastly because it is the best news of the day in my opinion, Noel Gallagher- guitarist for Oasis,  brother of lead singer Liam and decrier of violent video games had this to say about kids playing Guitar Hero:

“If it puts little plastic guitars into kids’ hands and fires their imaginations, I think that’s a good thing. It’s harmless fun, innit.  I’d rather that genre of videogames than somebody getting their f***ing head chopped off with a samurai sword while getting f****d by a goblin up the arse with a laser. Do you know what I mean?”

Yes, we do Noel. As a matter of fact one of our writers, Jonathan, questioned this statement because he was shocked that the rocker had apparently never played “Samurai Goblin F**er” back in the day like he did.

Seriously, you cannot make this stuff up.
