Guitar Hero III songs named

[Basil Zero]

Hot on the heels of this week's announcement of seven more songs for the 1980s-themed Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks the 80s, Activision has announced the first batch of songs for Guitar Hero III. The full list for the latest rhythm game, first revealed during an earnings call earlier in the year, is below--and contains many tracks by the original artists:

ORIGINAL RECORDINGS:
"Cult of Personality" by Living Colour
"Paint It Black" by the Rolling Stones
"Cherub Rock" by Smashing Pumpkins
"Sabotage" by Beastie Boys
"The Metal" by Tenacious D
"My Name Is Jonas" by Weezer
"Knights of Cydonia" by Muse


COVER SONGS:
"Rock And Roll All Nite" as made famous by Kiss
"School's Out" as made famous by Alice Cooper
"Slow Ride" as made famous by Foghat
"Barracuda" as made famous by Heart


The company also confirmed that the game would be getting two new controllers--a Gibson Les Paul guitar model for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Wii consoles, and a Gibson Kramer guitar for the PlayStation 2. Both controllers will be wireless.

The new game will also get a host of new features, including a "multiplayer action-inspired battle mode," and authentic rock venues. An expanded online multiplayer mode will allow gamers to compete with other guitar heroes worldwide.

RedOctane's head of publishing, Dusty Welch, said that the team had listened to fans' requests for this edition of the game. He commented, "Many of the top bands and songs we've tried to get in the past are now on board, and we've definitely got some giant aces in the hole to say the least."

Guitar Hero III is due for release on the PS2, PS3, Xbox 360, and Wii this "fall." It will be the first full-fledged entry in the series to be developed by Activision's in-house studio Neversoft--the first two Guitar Hero games were made by Harmonix.

I was at a GuitarheroII xbox 360 launch, and the activision rep had a private chat about a new guitar pedal controller coming out on the ps3 version of GuitarheroIII. He said it was a board with a Wah pedal and stompboxes. I think this will add realism , when you are jamming the solo with a Wah and then knocking off the Stompbox to play the verse.
Then he talked about the Ps3 Guitar controller being a Full size , Full weight Lespaul. Class!

we want a ps3 explorer.

Alice Cooper, Kiss and Rolling Stones, the only good bands on that list at the moment

I really hope bands are allowed to add in their songs for download so we can get pretty much any song we want. Now that would be sweet. Then we could see the songs that probably wouldn't be in a Guitar Hero game by small bands.
