14 DAY TRIAL // I'm glad I didn't take my lunch break just yet, as this piece of news has just popped up and I'd have lost all its freshness. Activision has just confirmed new tracks for Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock. The new additions are to be included in the game's main set list. The full list of newly added tracks (but also previously confirmed ones) is inside, while the publisher also confirms that strategic partnerships have been secured with all the major and independent record labels and publishers.
How can I even try and convince you that there may be a couple of new aspects occurring with the game, that you may or may not heard of lately, when the songs are practically all that matters in this game? That's why I'm going to cut you some slack and just give you the list of newly confirmed songs in Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock:
￭ Same Old Song and Dance (by Aerosmith) ￭ Helicopter (by Bloc Party) ￭ Stricken (by Disturbed) ￭ Monsters (by Matchbook Romance) ￭ Before I Forget (by Slipknot) ￭ Kool Thing (by Sonic Youth) ￭ When You Were Young (by The Killers) ￭ Devil Went Down to Georgia (as made famous by Charlie Daniels Band) ￭ Sunshine of Your Love (as made famous by Cream) ￭ Holiday in Cambodia (as made famous by Dead Kennedys) ￭ Cliffs of Dover (as made famous by Eric Johnson) ￭ Hit Me with Your Best Shot (as made famous by Pat Benetar) ￭ Black Magic Woman (as made famous by Santana) ￭ Story of My Life (as made famous by Social Distortion) ￭ Pride and Joy (as made famous by Stevie Ray Vaughn) ￭ The Seeker (as made famous by The Who) ￭ Black Sunshine (as made famous by White Zombie)
While opinions are surely going to be divided regarding the new songs, everyone will agree that the addition of "Stricken" by Disturbed, Slipknot's "Before I Forget" and Santana's Black Magic Woman, reworked exclusively for Guitar Hero III carries some weight. As for the previously announced tracks for Legends of Rock, those are:
