More Guitar Hero III tracks

By Tom Bramwell Published 26 July, 2007

Chili Peppers, Iron Maiden.

Neversoft has revealed four more of the songs that make up the line-up in Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock, due out later this year on PS3, Xbox 360, PS2 and Wii.

Red Hot Chili Peppers' "Suck My Kiss", ZZ Top's "La Grange", Iron Maiden's "Number Of The Beast" and Dragonforce's "Through The Fire And Flames" were identified during fansite ScoreHero's trip to see the game. Apart from ZZ Top, they're all "master tracks" - i.e. the original recording.

They join a list that already includes the likes of Guns N' Roses' "Welcome to the Jungle", Heart's "Barracuda" and Beastie Boys' "Sabotage". For the full list, check out the ScoreHero thread on the subject.

Publisher Activision recently unveiled wireless Gibson Les Paul controllers for PS3, 360 and Wii along with a Kramer model for PS2, with removable faceplates to personalise the experience. It was also announced that Slash has motion-captured moves for and will appear in the game as an unlockable character.

    Dragonforce is the hardest metal known to man

  • Ignatius_Cheese #3 5 years ago

    It is the campest, widdliest, bestest metal evar!

    Lovin' a bit of "Through the Fire and Flames". Can imagine its in one of the last sets of songs. Tis a bit of a crazy bitch of a guitar-fest...

  • Der_tolle_Emil #4 5 years ago

    Dragonforce, oh god no. But nice to see Iron Maiden!

  • Draqule #5 5 years ago

    TtFaF is a bonus song. As for difficulty, pretty much one of the best players in the world was failing it on 3% = FUN!

    (he got it in the end though)

  • OllyJ #6 5 years ago

    Oh wow Dragonforce, that is awesome, wonder if theyīll have a little video box to show you a close up of the solos like in the video ;D

  • AcidSnake #7 5 years ago

    Hmmm...
    I really can't build up a hype around this anymore...I'm just certain that Rock Band is going to annihilate it...
    It's just like this game is like "Rock Band Lite"...Very weird as I absolutely love the first two...

    Who knows...Good songs though...

  • t8yman #8 5 years ago

    why are they even bothering with a whole new game (unless its a budget title) when they can just keep nickle and diming us on DLC with new tracks. the actual game didnt look that much different in the e3 footage.

  • brooza #9 5 years ago

    Well, I'm getting this now.

    Well, depending on whether they're "by" or "as made famous by"

    EDIT: Just re-read the article, looks like I'm getting it

    Number of the Beast... yes i can play it for real already but... sold!!

  • Tuffty #11 5 years ago

    Wow! Add these to the other songs and it sounds like my own dreamlist. Incredible. I tell you what though, the official GH forums are really annoying me. They're complaining that Dragonforce is on it because, IT'S NOT METAL ENOUGH....It's so called 'fans' like that who thought GHII's list was 'diverse'

  • Megapocalypse #12 5 years ago

    'Iron Maiden's "Number Of The Beast" and Dragonforce's "Through The Fire And Flames"'

    SOLD! \o/

    Just need to add in <a href=http://www .youtube.com/watch?v=eFimCzrPtBE>this</a> and it will be perfect.

    Well, to be fair, Rock Band is little more than Guitar Hero II + Mic and Drums making for a rather busy screen...

    And as Rock Band is being touted by EA then there's more chance of that title being used and abused for maximum moneymaking purposes.

    There's no reason why both these titles cannot co-exist and I, for one, applaud developers like Harmonix and Neversoft for taking up the rhythm action mantle and running with it!

  • OllyJ #14 5 years ago

    I donīt understand the Whole GH2 was too metal, it did have loads of variety, there were some bad choices on there (Suicidal Tendencies, Lamb of God) but on the whole it was pretty varied, plus it IS a GUITAR game, so if it does have metal on it well....thatīs fair enough.

    but yeah I thought it was nicely varied.

  • tuff #15 5 years ago

    OMFG - Number of the Beast FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • zozart #16 5 years ago

    Whoa, awesome Dragonforce track. That's going to be murder on Expert. Iron Maiden are awesome too.

    I may just have to pick this up after all.

    The only negative thing about this is, whenever I see these awesome tracks on GH3, I keep wishing they were on Rock Band so I could sing and drum along too. :(

    "Dragonforce's "Through The Fire And Flames"

    Jesus. I don't envy their warranty returns department. There are going to broken controllers and repetitive strain injuries all over the place.
