Activision and Red Octane confirm

If you read our post yesterday of the rumoured Guitar Hero: World Tour tracklist and got yourself all excited - we did warn you. It appears that it was indeed just some Guitar Hero fanatic with a big imagination.

With songs including Tool, Pink Floyd and Thin Lizzy, it looked like a good set-up and one we could actually get excited about. But the list was only floating around the net for a few hours before it was shot down in flames.

Yes, the guys at Activision and Red Octane squished our joy in one foul swoop with the announcement that it is indeed a fake. Although it does contain some songs that are in the game - Van Halen's Hot for Teacher is one - they put the bulk of it down to "wishful thinking and pure speculation".

Darn it.
