New Guitar Hero III Tracks Revealed

12:20AM Mike Fahey | Looks like that leaked Guitar Hero III track list from a couple weeks back might be closer to reality than we thought. While the new press release from Activision doesn’t reveal specific song tiers, it does add seventeen new songs, all of which were included on the rumoured list. Still the leaked list has seventy songs, while I am only counting fifty-nine in the press release, so I’ll leave it to you junior detectives to work out the discrepancies. Seven of the new songs are master tracks from the original artists, including Sonic Youth’s ‘Cool Thing’, Aerosmith’s ‘Same Old Song and Dance”, and The Killers’ ‘When You Were Young’, which will be stuck in my head the rest of the day. Covers include White Zombie’s ‘Black Sunshine’ and ‘Devil Went Down To Georgia’ made famous by the Charlie Daniels Band. Living in the south, I can tell you right now that if the Devil cover sucks the folks at Activision better start keeping an eye out for suspicious looking pickup trucks in their vicinity. You don’t screw around with a song so important that it’s projected onto a mountain with lasers every weekend. Hit the jump for the full list, new and old. More »
