Activision's gone ahead and provided us with a sneak peak of the set list for Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock and it's very clear the game will be making good on its promise to return to the series' roots. Here's the full list of the first 35 confirmed songs.

Granted a few of these tracks have appeared in other games, but overall it's a pretty solid lineup of rocktastic music. We don't know how many more songs are slated to appear, but we'll do our best to sneak into Activision's booth, disguise ourselves as security guards and snoop around for a bit.

So what do you think of the tracks so far? Are you happy with the new direction or did you prefer that Guitar Hero was broadening its musical base? If nothing else then this game will likely answer once and for all if it's the choice of music that's caused flagging music game sales lately or if the public at large is just burned out on the genre. It'll be a shame if it's the latter, the plastic instrument revolution may end up dead before it even had a chance to properly rock your socks off.
