I am not really a fan of this “nibble nibble” form of receiving the GHWT setlist that’s going on, where we keep hearing bits and pieces through Stuff Mag, Tool Website, PS3 articles, etc.  I’d much rather just wait and get ONE announcement from Activision of the entire setlist so I can sit down and chew through that. 

However, one of the “leaked” setlists has seen a striking number of its predictions confirmed through one source or another, so it’s gaining credibility as the announcements gain speed. Therefore, we’re going to provide that list, as well as the sources of confirmation, just in case it happens to end up being true.  If it is true, it’s one hell of a list!   Thanks to the ga-forums for originally compiling all of this and keeping up with the sources. We’ve added a few more of our own as well.

Here is the list that was leaked, with the confirmed songs in bold, rumored songs with strong likelihood underlined,  and the sources of the confirmations listed in legend at the end.  This list was supposedly done “from memory” by “a guy working on the game” and posted by “his friend”.

   Steve Miller Band - The Joker Interpol - Obstacle 1 The Doors - Light My Fire Linkin Park - In The End Michael Jackson - Beat It Smashing Pumpkins - Bullet With Butterfly Wings As well as confirmed artists, but their songs unkown Nirvana Muse Beastie Boys Van Halen Foo Fighters

   Although at least two of those have been shown to be incorrect according to both the leaked list and other sources and both Van Halen and Foo Fighters tracks were already known calling these confirmations into doubt.
