"Top Gun Anthem" for Guitar Hero III News • News • Eurogamer.net

News Xbox Xbox 360 PlayStation 3

Free as a bird this Thursday.

Activision will be offering you the "Top Gun Anthem" for Guitar Hero III this Thursday.

It's to celebrate Independence Day and so it will be completely free, and Eurogamer's been told that the song will be on the European PS3 Store the same day.

"Top Gun Anthem" is an instrumental guitar piece. We could hum it to you but you're better off listening yourself. Importantly it isn't "Danger Zone" or "Take My Breath Away".

Did you know that Top Gun instructor Jester is played by Michael Ironside, who is known as the voice of Sam Fisher? You probably did actually. We're not special.

Danger Zone is brilliant... I bought the CD single back in 1986 specifically for that track, not the Berlin title track.

Isn't the song something like 10 seconds long and quite slow? Should be a piece of peace to do on hard/expert

.../goes away and listens to the song.

/comes back

Steve Stevens FTW!!! I've got his autograph on one side of a paper plate and Billy Idol's on the other side. Its on the wall in our bedroom.

What we really need is 'Top Gear's anthem; an extended version of the cover of 'Jessica' used in the BBC show 'Top Gear'.

@T4RG4

Umm... No. Uncle Fester was Christopher Lloyd (in the 90s at least). Jester was Michael Ironside as Eurogamer "cleverly" pointed out.

Further handy hints: The dude whose arms get cut off by a lift in Total Recall; the dude with a gammy arm and gets killed by the bugs in Starship Troopers; also appeared in V and ER.

What, are you 12 or something?!

when will they start releasing proper music instead of that freebie anthem/obscure soundtrack shite they keep churning out. I'd rather pay if they had the DLC that rock band has
