Also Modest Mouse, Beastie Boys, Dinosaur Jr., Blondie, the Mars Volta, Muse, Sex Pistols

Hope you like Tool, 'cuz this thing's a veritable Home Depot (zing!). The full setlist for Guitar Hero World Tour, the fourth major installment in the carpal-tunnel-inducing joyride, has been announced, and it's a doozy. (Though not as much of a doozy as a certain competitor.-- Ed) 86 tracks-- master recordings, all-- will come with your copy of GHWT when it's released by Activision October 26.

Notable bands on the list include Dinosaur Jr., Interpol, Beastie Boys, Coldplay, Nirvana, Muse, Oasis, Modest Mouse, Interpol, the Mars Volta, Blondie, the Sex Pistols, At the Drive-In, R.E.M., and, yes, Tool. Lots of Tool. The part of us that checks out at 5 p.m. sure is stoked for the chance to play through Paramore's awesome "Misery Business".

But what about that new Smashing Pumpkins song "G.L.O.W." they're debuting through the game? You've gotta pay extra for it. The only Pumpkins song that's pre-loaded is "Today"; "G.L.O.W." will be available in a three-song expansion pack that also gets you "1979" and "The Everlasting Gaze". "Wordz Iz Cheap"; exclusive content, less so. Billy Corgan appears as a character in the game, as do Ted Nugent and Zakk Wylde.

World Tour is the first in the Guitar Hero series to feature not just a plastic guitar, but a drumset and microphone. (Just like that other game.) You can also battle other players live over the internet, as well as write and record your own music.
