Guitar Hero II track list update

"Monkey Wrench" by Foo Fighters and "Killing in the Name" by Rage Against the Machine are two brand new songs revealed in this latest Guitar Hero II track list, which also shows you how all 31 confirmed songs line up in their categories for the game's career mode.

Readers with a good memory will notice that some songs previously confirmed (like the excellently titled "Psychobilly Freakout" by The Reverend Horton Heat) don't feature on the latest list - probably because they're hidden away as unlockable tracks. There's likely to be more to come soon but, for now, we've got the list in full (new songs marked in bold) below the nice big screen:

"Strutter" (Kiss)
