Guitar Hero III Tracks Revealed!

[incubus421]

Strange...I saw something on G4 on AOTS, either in the feed segment or on the ticker that scrolls the bottom of AOTS, that the first band to be confirmed for GH3 was Queens of the Stone Age...yet they are not listed here. This was probably about 2-3 weeks ago.

[Griking]

Guitar Hero 10 will be played on a real guitar if they were to keep adding shit heh heh.

-Rob

which honestly wouldn't be that bad of an idea.

[-hellvin-]

Slowwww RIDE! Take it EASYYYY.

Hell yeahz FOGHAT. REALLY excited about Cult of Personality! That's gotta be one of the last songs. Muse, Tenacious D, Beastie Boys. Lots of cool tracks so far. I much prefer the Heart song in this game as well.

[Keir]

Wow. Consider me doubly disappointed. A bunch of crap songs and I have to buy a new guitar? I'll be anxiously waiting to hear what the rest of the tracks are, but there had better be some killers on there or I'm definitely passing (and I"m not talking about the band obviously ).

[Overbite]

I like the song list so far

If my PS2 guitar wont work I'm going to drive to whatever shithole neversoft works from and shove my gibson so far up their ass the whammy bar will be stuck up their noses

[blissfulnoise]

Agreed 100%. You can't imagine how disappointed I was when I first found out that the songs on the GH games were just covers and not by the original artists. I haven't purcahsed #2 because of this.

Personally, I thought the covers on GHI were quite good. Very few being totally off the mark.

Guitar Hero II, on the other hand, seemed rushed in that department and just made whoever was in the studio that day take a crack at sounding like Kurt Cobain, David Bowie, or Zack De La Rocha.

I also seriously doubt that GHIII will not support existing guitars. That's alienating too large a fan base. I do know that an effects petal is going to be coming on though. We'll see where that heads.

I'm wondering how much of the color hubbub comes from Harmonix leaving? Maybe they had some kind of rights on that part of the controls or something.

Dunno for sure, just throwing it out there.

For what it's worth, I couldn't tell you which color was which button, so it makes little difference to me.

Songs look great so far to me.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After rereading the press release...

"The exclusive Gibson guitars will include innovative features such as removable faceplates that will allow fans to later personalize their guitars and make it their own, and a new button color design that will be integrated for an even greater authentic feel and rock experience."

To me, that just suggests the guitar will have a new button color design option...not the game itself. Kinda sounds like Joystiq fumbled the wording a bit IMO. Maybe we can all keep calm heads, and wait for more actual details...

[Putney]

Having just started into GH2 (and never having played the first one), I must agree some of the covers are horrid..."Mother" I'm looking at you (couldn't you have just paid Danzig off in dumbells and Rogaine to use the original song).

What I really, really, really want in either GH3 or Rock Band is the chance to play some Sunn O))) stuff....

[Neil Koch]

Yeah, it seems strange that they couldn't get the real vocals for Mother, especially since the song is used in two others that I know offhand. The vocals for Laid to Rest are horrible as well.

"I wonder if they'll try to force xBox 360 owners into buying the whole game for $55 instead of just letting them purchase the new tracks online. I doubt that the game play itself will be significantly different so I can't see any reason other than greed to not to offer the tracks separately."

Yeah, but if they're using the GH1 track pricing, you'd be better off just buying the disc.

[MegaDrive20XX]

Smashing Pumpkins!? FUCK YEAH! More rolling stones, shweetness...The D, too hardcore....and more Alice Cooper awwww yeah...

[Mr.FoodMonster]

I would voluntarily listen to any of those songs.

That's a damn good list, if you ask me.

[Rev. Link]

I'd like to buy Guitar Hero III, thank you very much. I would not like to buy downloadable content for Guitar Hero II.

I think everyone is jumping the gun on the guitar issue here, too. We have zero information other than an ambiguously worded teaser. Let's all just wait and see what the deal is before we go accusing Neversoft/Activision/Red Octane of being money hungry demons who ruined Guitar Hero.

[Oobgarm]

Not to be outdone...

[MegaDrive20XX]

Metallica and Slayer? I'm sold.

[Guru of Time and Space]

If they were going to have anything off ...And Justice For All, I'd want it to be Dyer's Eve, the fastest Metallica song.

And what Slayer song is in the game?

-GoTaS

[Slate]

I wish they'd put a good ACDC song in rock band or GH3, Like thunderstruck... But I want the real thing, Not a "Redone" Version.

[LiquidPolicenaut]

-GoTaS

I believe the Slayer song is Reign in Blood...

As for Metallica, if it's ANY song from ..And Justice or earlier I'll be happy

Ahem, you mean Raining Blood.
I'm picky, sorry.

Anyway, good track. Altar of Sacrifice would've been cool too... the intro to Necrophiliac could be cool to play as well.

Oh God, shoot me! How the HELL did I actually type "REIGN IN blood" instead of "RAINING"?!?!?! I tell you...its the drugs and weirdo Las Vegas weather doin this to me....man, I miss NYC....

[ssjlance]

Oh my fucking god, I am set to buy this. Raining Blood AND One? Yes, yes, and more yes. Also, some Mountain is always appreciated. Lets just hope the in house cover of Mississippi Queen comes out better than Ozzy's cover....

Also, I understand how you did that. Album = Reign in Blood, song = Raining Blood. As far as Slayer goes, I would've enjoyed seeing something a little less known, like Seasons in the Abyss, Skeletons of Society, or The Antichrist. Or maybe something different, like Angel of Death or something.

But why in the world they pick Rock and Roll All Night is beyond me. There are a million better KISS songs they could've picked. Detroit Rock City, God of Thunder, Parasite, Watchin' You, She, Deuce, Black Diamond, Shock Me, Strange Ways, and so on. Also, who would've liked to have seen Metal Militia on here? Thats a personal favorite.
