ORIGINAL STORY 19/05/2015: The first 24 songs for Guitar Hero Live, the first Guitar Hero game in over five years, has been revealed.

Between this an Call of Duty: Black Ops 3's ad campaign, Activision is really getting a lot of mileage out of Paint it Black.

As reported by Rolling Stone, the Guitar Hero Live soundtrack will include ditties by The Rolling Stones, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Fall Out Boy, Skrillex, The Black Keys, Green Day and more.

"We've been able to explore some new types of musical style" developer FreeStyle's creative director and studio head Jamie Jackson told Rolling Stone upon noting that the franchise began a decade ago. "Guitar music is broader than it's ever been - so we're reflecting that in the range of music on offer."

Guitar Hero Live' initial setlist is as follows:

  • The Black Keys - "Gold on the Ceiling"
  • Blitz Kids - "Sometimes"
  • Ed Sheeran - "Sing"
  • Fall Out Boy - "My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark (Light Em Up)"
  • Gary Clark, Jr. - "Don't Owe You a Thang"
  • Green Day - "Nuclear Family"
  • The Killers - "When You Were Young"
  • The Lumineers - "Ho Hey"
  • My Chemical Romance - "Na Na Na"
  • Pierce the Veil - "King for a Day (feat. Kellin Quinn)"
  • The Rolling Stones - "Paint it Black"
  • Skrillex - "Bangarang"
  • The War on Drugs - "Under the Pressure"
  • Black Veil Brides - "In The End"
  • Rage Against the Machine - "Guerrilla Radio"
  • Judas Priest - "Breaking the Law"
  • Pantera - "Cowboys From Hell"
  • Sleigh Bells - "Bitter Rivals"
  • System of a Down - "Chop Suey!"
  • Alter Bridge - "Cry of Achilles"
  • Alt-J - "Left Hand Free"
  • Broken Bells - "Leave It Alone"
  • Red Hot Chili Peppers - "Higher Ground"
  • The Pretty Reckless - "Going to Hell"
