Nirvana, Slightly Stoopid, Smashing Pumpkins on Guitar Hero: World Tour this month

Posted by aubin on Wednesday, December 3, 2008 at 5:30 PM (EST)

Some interesting additions to Guitar Hero: World Tour coming in December, most notable are three tracks from Nirvana including one from the band's Sub Pop Records debut, Bleach. The track, "Negative Creep," will be featured along with the non-album single, "Sliver" and "You Know You're Right," which was released posthumously on 2002's Nirvana [Greatest Hits].

Along with Nirvana, a new set of "reggae" tracks from Slightly Stoopid, The Expendables and Pepper will appear in December, as well as three songs from Smashing Pumpkins including "1979."

Update: Oops. That's Guitar Hero: World Tour, not Rock Band 2. Sorry about that.

Incesticide rules.

MattRamone (December 3, 2008)

This.

Citizen_Crack (December 3, 2008)

Yep. I've always thought the fast version of "Polly" is better.

mikexdude (December 3, 2008)

The Smashing Pumpkins get a bad rap sometimes, but I think they rule.

LinoleumMagazine (December 3, 2008)

You' must be gayer than Billy Corgan.

mikexdude (December 3, 2008)

Oh I am.

tombagel (December 3, 2008)

Some of their songs rule, indeed. 1979 is a classic for me. Too bad they get a little over their heads half the time.

Cheesetits (December 3, 2008)

I don't know about "rule" per se, but I think they had some good songs. Gish isn't a bad record.

mikexdude (December 3, 2008)

Per se.

Cheesetits (December 3, 2008)

Quite.

mikexdude (December 3, 2008)

Not a south park fan?

Cheesetits (December 3, 2008)

I am, but not a fanatic.

Bryne (December 3, 2008)

Yeah, Siamese Dream has a lot of great songs, and Jimmy Chamberlain is a fucking phenomenal drummer.

Dante3000 (rich) (December 3, 2008)

I was listening to them the other day and I realized that all my qualms with the band stem from Billy Coragan being a douche and not the music itself. Musically I enjoy them but everything that dude has ever said makes him such a douche nozzle.

mikexdude (December 3, 2008)

Yeah, he's a cock... but man, the instrumentation is really something.

ConsumedByMusic (December 3, 2008)

that's exactly how i feel.

branden (December 3, 2008)

33 is a good jam. pig voice aint nothin to write home about though.

LinoleumMagazine (December 3, 2008)

For a split second I thought Nirvana were pulling a Sublime and playing a show.

That would be hilarious.

acris (December 3, 2008)

I'm so aggravated right now. I'm looking at scholarships for people with a hearing disability and the only good ones are by the Alexander Graham Bell Association, which only gives it out to people attending schools in DC. Every time I think I've found a good one...nope. It's sponsored by those fucking bastards. GIVE ME SOME FUCKING MONEY

mikexdude (December 3, 2008)

I wish I was graduating in 2009.

MattRamone (December 3, 2008)

Whenever you guys talk about homework I feel like Perverted Justice is trying to bait someone.

mikexdude (December 3, 2008)

I am sorry :-/. We'll talk about something else.

MattRamone (December 3, 2008)

Dude, it's cool. My birthday's next month and I've been thinking way too much about getting older.

mikexdude (December 3, 2008)

My birthday is this month, and I've been doing my own share of thinking too much.

I just set myself up, don't I...

MattRamone (December 3, 2008)

I like having sex with deaf girls. Thanks for giving me an excuse to share.

eazyd2 (December 3, 2008)

i like having sex with blind mute quadriplegics

acris (December 3, 2008)

what

MattRamone (December 3, 2008)

They make the best noises when they climax.

acris (December 3, 2008)

rughhhrgun.nrg nrgh.fffffffff.

acris (December 3, 2008)

in other words,

MattRamone (December 4, 2008)

I really can't reccomend it enough.

eazyd2 (December 3, 2008)

lol @ deaf cunts

Vinnie (December 3, 2008)

Smashing Pumpkins "Siamese Dream" is flawless. Yes, I am willing to take your criticism.

bongsmcj (December 3, 2008)

agreed.

score one for mellon collie and the infinite sadness as well...

binaural111 (December 4, 2008)

yes yes and yes
saw their reunion at Reading last yr it was meh but well love the cds

freesandwich (December 3, 2008)

Favorite Nirvana song?

Tourettes

Cheesetits (December 3, 2008)

Sliver

Cheesetits (December 3, 2008)

I just read the post now and realized that song will be on the game. Wow.

Bryne (December 3, 2008)

"Drain You". It's one of the few songs from Nevermind I can still enjoy.

Cheesetits (December 3, 2008)

Probably second favorite.

fallingupwards84 (December 3, 2008)

that song is awful, you only like it because its the only one on that album that Kurt "screams" on

a minute and a half of garbage

fallingupwards84 (December 3, 2008)

Serve The Servants ftw

ConsumedByMusic (December 3, 2008)

speaking of garbage, Courtney love is stoked for another paycheck.

sugarfull (December 3, 2008)

Serve the Servants. Even though the solo is kinda lame.

mikexdude (December 3, 2008)

That one song that sounds like the Pixies.

jacknife737 (December 3, 2008)

Sliver or In Bloom.

Cheesetits (December 3, 2008)

The Venture Bros. has the most ridiculously in depth Wikipedia entries I've ever seen.

MattRamone (December 3, 2008)

Never look up Pokemon, then.

Cheesetits (December 3, 2008)

That I wouldn't be surprised about. But I find The Venture Bros. to be a bit of a surprise. Brock Samson's page is absurd. There's more on him than on most historical figures.

niveK82 (December 3, 2008)

The Wire's page(s) is redonk too

Dante3000 (rich) (December 3, 2008)

Lost has it's own wiki...It's fucking stupid. Of course, Venture Bros. being a cartoon and a joke makes it all the more awesome.

Cox_Attack (December 3, 2008)

Calling Slightly Stoopid and Pepper reggae is so disgraceful. For shame Activision.

eazyd2 (December 3, 2008)

what would you call them?

freesandwich (December 3, 2008)

shit

eazyd2 (December 3, 2008)

wasnt asking you ya fuckin faggot cunt

Cox_Attack (December 3, 2008)

Garbage rock.

eazyd2 (December 3, 2008)

ok haha lol but if you had to give fit them into a real musical genre what would you choose? i think reggae would be most fitting

Cox_Attack (December 3, 2008)

I mean I guess that's true. I don't know some sort of reggae rock or something. I just feel terrible lumping this shit in with anything from Studio One.

dominicraiders (February 16, 2009)

id call it socal reggae cause its not really reggae, just heavily reggae influenced

Nameless (December 3, 2008)

I liked how in the article the word reggae was in quotes.

McFlynnTHM (john) (December 3, 2008)

Activision doesn't make Rock Band.

Cox_Attack (December 3, 2008)

My bad. I always confuse Guitar Hero and this game. Not really a fan of either. For shame, EA I guess.

niveK82 (December 3, 2008)

But the article is wrong and this will be in Activion's GH: WT

NefariousFIG (December 3, 2008)

This article is incorrect - these songs are actually coming to Guitar Hero: World Tour, not Rock Band 2.

And with that, I shall retreat back to my nerdom.

NefariousFIG (December 3, 2008)

Here's a link to that effect: http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3171625

niveK82 (December 3, 2008)

came here to say this, see it is already posted

Vinnie (December 3, 2008)

My fellow nerds and I will retire back to the nerdery with our calculators.

victim (December 3, 2008)

Which calculators do you own?

Preston (December 3, 2008)

You misspelled "Stupid."

mikexdude (December 3, 2008)

I see what you did there.
