Continuing its wave of Guitar Hero World Tour announcements, publisher Activision today revealed that beloved bands Tool and The Police will be featured in the game.

Along with the below on-disc tracks, the multi-instrument music title will sport a specially-created Tool venue, made with the help of the band and said to highlight the "art style that has become a staple in their music videos, live shows and album artwork."

Tool - "Schism"
Tool - "Parabola"
Tool - "Vicarious"
The Police - "Demolition Man"

Left, the Tool venue. Right, Sting.

In addition, The Police vocalist Sting will be a playable character in the game.

Bringing drums and vocals to the once guitar-only franchise, Guitar Hero World Tour arrives on PS2, PS3, Xbox 360 and Wii this fall. Vicarious Visions is handling the Wii release and Budcat is on the PS2 edition, with Neversoft doing the PS3 and 360 entries.

Tool needs to release wishlist thread:
Chronological as best as is possible after more than a few beers:
Opiate
Jerkoff
Prison Sex
Sober
Undertow
Swamp Song
Virtually any of Ænima, but especially Stinkfist, Eulogy, H., 46 &2, Pushit, Third Eye (yes, I left Ænima out)
Lateralus
Jambi
Vicarious
10000 days
Rosetta Stoned
Right in Two

There's probably more, but I can't think of titles off hand, and I'd be surprised if people add more to this list.

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

one question though :

They say if you use the RB2 kit with GH : WT, it's going to drop a note. Is that note completely dropped and you're basically playing 5/6 of the notes, or another color will have extra notes to compensate? (most likely the former :( )

Fuck yes! I'm very surprised. Tool is usually very anal in regards to how people have access to their music.

The list of games to get this fall just keeps getting bigger and bigger.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK. I really think they fucked up GH3. I hope GH4 is ok again because I REALLY want to play tool. God damn. Other bands have songs on both, so maybe Rockband will still get some Tool (hopefully Schism)
