Def Leppard single to debut in GH3 News

Xbox 360 PlayStation 3 News by Robert Purchese

14 April, 2008

Mercury Records has said it plans to release the upcoming Def Leppard single "Nine Lives" as downloadable content for Guitar Hero III.

The track will go up on Xbox Live alongside older songs "Rock of Ages" and "Photograph" on 24th April, while the European PS3 Store will get them on 8th May.

No pricing has been mentioned, but previous bundles have sold for 500 Microsoft Points (GBP 4.25 / EUR 6.00). Activision has been contacted for comment.

"I know from personal experience how much more you get into the music by playing the game, which is why we were keen to explore this opportunity," said Joe Elliott, lead singer of Def Leppard.

"Guitar Hero is extremely popular with all kinds of music heads, which includes a lot of our fans, and we think releasing 'Nine Lives' this way first is just fantastic!"

Def Leppard formed in 1977 and two years later had matching curly perms.

Pop over to the Def Leppard website for a spot of history.

Seems unfair. Drummers will only get half the points of the other players.

Great idea. Not a massive fan of the band myself but this is certainly an interesting move I'd like to see more of.

Well as this is for Guitar Hero 3 rather than Rock Band I don't think drummers get to do anything Fozzie!

Excellent song. Rock of Ages is undoubtedly one of my favourites.

I demand they release all of every album for it. I was trying to decide if I should bother getting a Guitar Hero game only last week, this has pretty much got me sold.

They do often seem to release fairly random songs- rather than the big hits don't they? Im sure it pleases the big fans, but for someone like me who likes a few of their big releases, im not interested at all.
But then i brought the "when love and hate collide" single, which probably makes my opinion worthless :)

Yes it was. I know it wasn't very good but at least I came up with it singlehandedly.

I'd probably end up buying this.

Also, completely off topic, but will the GH3 guitar work in GH2? Just because I don't want or need another guitar.
