News: Presumably, Kristin Stewart and Dakota Fanning aren't helping.

Activision has announced that Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock will feature re-recorded songs from Alice Cooper and The Runaways.

Cooper will recreate "No More Mr. Nice Guy," a song now forever associated with its hilarious use in Dazed and Confused. The Runaways will reunite to reignite "Cherry Bomb."

Activision also revealed that 20 additional tracks have been added to Warrior of Rock's setlist, including the great "Seven Nation Army" from The White Stripes:

Alice Cooper Ц "No More Mr. Nice Guy"

Alter Bridge Ц "Ties That Bind"

Atreyu Ц "Ravenous"

Bad Brains Ц "Re-Ignition (Live)"

Blue Oyster Cult Ц "Burning For You"

Bush Ц "Machinehead"

Deep Purple Ц "Burn"

Edgar Winter Ц "Free Ride"

Five Finger Death Punch Ц "Hard To See"

George Thorogood and The Destroyers Ц "Move It On Over (Live)"

Lynyrd Skynyrd Ц "Call Me The Breeze (Live)"

Pantera Ц "I'm Broken"

Poison Ц "Unskinny Bop"

The Ramones Ц "Theme From Spider-Man"

All of these tracks are in addition to last week's announcement that Rush's seven-part "2112" suite will also be included in the game. The seven tracks combine to form an epic 20 minutes of music that will no doubt have Rush fans cheering:

"2112 Part 1 Ц Overture"

"2112 Part 3 Ц Discovery"

"2112 Part 4 Ц Presentation"

"2112 Part 5 Ц Oracle: The Dream"
