Guitar Hero World Tour Gets Ozzy Osbourne
by Chris Faylor, Aug 07, 2008 7:57am PDTMuch like Jimi Hendrix, virtual recreations of Ozzy Osbourne and guitarist Zakk Wylde will appear in the multi-instrument music title Guitar Hero World Tour, according to USA Today.
More importantly, the game is said to sport the following tracks from the bat-biting rock star:
- "Crazy Train"
- "Mr. Crowley"
Osbourne's virtual avatar, seen above, was animated using motion-capture technology. "I had to put on this black suit with all these little ping-pong ball-like things all over me," he remarked. "I don't really know how it works."
He joins the following list of confirmed artists for the music game, which brings drums and vocals to the traditionally guitar-only franchise and hits PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Wii this fall:
- Van Halen - "Hot for Teacher"
- Jimi Hendrix - "The Wind Cries Mary"
- At the Drive-In - "One Armed Scissor
- Billy Idol - "Rebel Yell"
- Foo Fighters - "Everlong"
- Interpol - "Obstacle 1"
- The Doors - "Light My Fire"
- Michael Jackson - "Beat It"
- Linkin Park - "In The End"
- Smashing Pumpkins - "Bullet with Butterfly Wings"
- Nirvana
- Beastie Boys
- Muse
- The Eagles
Meanwhile, the following artists and tracks are believed to be included due to leaks or Activision-issued media:
- Aerosmith
- System of a Down
- The Police
- Blink 182
- Red Hot Chili Peppers
Similar to Guitar Hero III and Guitar Hero Aerosmith, it is being developed by Neversoft for the PS3 and Xbox 360, with Vicarious Visions handling the Wii version and Budcat on the PS2 edition.

This feels largely like a big chunk of it was written using that leak in Stuff magazine where they said they didn't know what VH track would be in the game.
