Skid Row, Poison, Extreme in 80s Guitar Hero

Stock up on the Aqua Net, would-be rockers: It's "big hair" day at Joystiq. Why are we teasing out our locks? Why, to mark the release of seven more songs to be included on Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks the 80s, of course. It's called synergy. Anyway, here are the songs:

• "18 and Life" (as made famous by Skid Row)
• "Bathroom Wall" (as made famous by Faster Pussycat)
• "Lonely is the Night" (as made famous by Billy Squier)
• "Nothing But a Good Time" (as made famous by Poison)
• "Play With Me" (as made famous by Extreme)
• "Shaken" (as made famous by Eddie Money) [We're assuming they mean "Shakin'"]
• "Synchronicity II" (as made famous by Police)

In other brand synergy news, the game apparently has Encore in the title, which we bet will become a common way way to denote GHs that offer new songs without gameplay or graphical improvements. Look for Guitar Hero Encore: Looking to Pad Our Q3 Numbers, coming in late June ... or, you know, whenever Activision wants some money. If you've got a short memory, you can check out the previously announced seven songs after the break.

• "I Wanna Rock" (by Twisted Sister)
• "I Ran" (by Flock of Seagulls)
• "Round and Round" (as made famous by Ratt)
• "I Want Candy" (as made famous by Bow Wow Wow)
• "Metal Health" (as made famous by Quiet Riot)
• "Holy Diver" (as made famous by Dio)
• "Heat Of The Moment" (as made famous by Asia)
