The upcoming Guitar Hero 3 is sure to be another hit in the franchise with all sorts of new features, ‘face-melting’ tracks, and controllers. The first time I played Guitar Hero I embarrassed myself and almost ran out of Best Buy crying. Anyways, the latest and greatest will be released on all major platforms with the addition of some downloadable content. A few of the key new features are multi-player battle mode, punishing boss modes and authentic rock venues. You can even go head-to-head with other ‘guitarists’ online and see who shreds better, nerds.

Instead of the crappy controllers of yesteryear you can rock out with Gibson Les Paul and Kramer guitars that will have interchangeable faceplates and new button colors. The Les Paul will be available for the Xbox 360, PS3 and Wii. The Kramer will be an exclusive for the PS2. Rock on! Now here are the real goodies. The first 11 tracks are hot, hot, hot and I know that’s what you want so hit the jump.

* 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)
* 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 Fog Hat)
* Cult of Personality (by Living Colour)
* Barracuda (as made famous by Heart)

  • and i want to c some blink-182 (damnit, josie, or dynestary gary).

  • you need death metal who cares if not a lot of people like it i would like to see some cannibal corpse or arch enemy or amon amarth or dimmu borgir and stuff like that you can still have other songs just one song by at least three of these bands would be good

  • do not end the game with stairway to heaven

  • Atreyu- Bleeding Mascera i dont care if its spelled wrong you know what im getting at

  • I LIKE ALOT OF METAL AND THINK THAT THER SHOULD BE SOME ON GH3.
    I ALSO THINK THEY SHOULD HAVE SOME /ROB ZOMBIE/ AND /DRAGONFOCE /
    I SAW ON YOUTUBE PEOPLE THAT WHER PLAYING DRAGON FOCE THROUGH THE FIRE AND FLAMES,HOW DO THEY DO THAT MODS MAY BE? ANY WAY THEY NEED
    DRAGON FORCE……….ps look it up on you tube
    ROB ZOMBIE
    DISTURBED
    GUUNS AND ROSES
    BULLET FOR MY VALETINE
    KILL SWITCH ENGAGE
    SEVEN DUST

    ANY WAY THATS WHAT I THINK BUT REALY HOW DO THEY PLAY SONG LIKE WHAT THEY HAVE YOUTUBE….PLEASE HELP

  • whole long prosess of complicated computer work. theirs instructions on how to do it somewhere on the net look it up on google. plus you need a moded ps2.

  • can you use the ps2 guitar controller or do i have to fork out the money and buy a new one??????????? I NEED ANSWERS!!!!!!

  • Hey, i dominated guitar hero 2 but it was a very fun game!!!! There is one game though that would be the coolest song in the world to put on guitar hero 3. Queen – Bohemian Rapsody If You could put this song on this game i would buy it for $200 if i had to

  • Blobs got somewhat the right idea. Most people start crying when they hear death metal songs and are like “omg it sucks the growling is so bad:-(.” To actually growl there is technique believe it or not.
    If you actually knew anything about music you would see that it takes a lot of talent to produce music like that. NuMetal bands like Disturbed, Korn, etc would break their fingers attempting to play REAL metal. Cannibal corpse is extremely technical and would be alot of fun to play on GH3 just like on real guitar. Or Necrophagist! Im not saying everyone should like metal though, at least respect it.

  • I would love to see some zepplin, But don’t forget in GH2…. No Stairway!

  • Guitar Hero is the best game ever, but I think that some of the songs are a little to soft. I’m a headbanger and it would be nice to have some more heavier stuff.

    Pantera-Rise
    Slayer-Here Comes the Pain
    Kreator-Enemy Of God
    Lamb Of God-Hourglass
    Iron Maiden-2 Minutes T’ill Midnight
    Ect….

    Another thing the could do is make different versions of Guitar Hero for different music genres, like Heavy Metal, Rock, Punk even though Heavy Metal is the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • hey,
    um when does guitar hero III come out!?
    im getting it for my graduation present,
    but every website ive went to says its in the fall,
    so i need the exact date so my mom can get it for me!

    p.s. im only 13

  • I will be buying this game just because Muse is in there. Rock Band has no Muse.

  • Pantera—-Walk

  • I think they need to throw in some slayer or hatebreed, something that would make GH3 a mature game :)

  • Slipknot- Duality
    Korn- Right Now
    Killswitch Engage- The End of Heartache
    Lamb of God- Now You’ve got Something to Die For
    Slayer-Raining Blood
    Godsmack- Livin’ In Sin
    Sevendust- Face to Face
    As I Lay Dying- Forever
    Soulfly- Back to The Primitive
    Arch Enemy- Nemesis

  • how about they never ever stick nu-metal in guitar hero. Crapiest most talentless genre ever.

  • i think that they need:
    1) Battery – Metallica
    2) Fuer Frei – Rammstien
    3) SOAD – Hypnotize, B.Y.O.B., Chick n Stu,
    4) Anything By Devil Driver
    5) Slipknot – Pulse Of The Maggots
    6) Face Down – Red Jumpsuit Apparatus
    7) Alient Ant Farm – Smooth Criminal

  • ok im only 12 and im stuck on free bird expert! i cant beat the freaking song! Its soooooo harder than all th other songs…..besides jordan (bonus song) but still i always fail in like the 70’s! and i hate playing free bird cuz when u fail really far into the song you have to go through the whole slow boring part!

  • recommendations

    1.silent night bodom night-children of bodom
    2.temptations nest-kataklysm
    3.entombment of a machine-job for a cowboy
    4cannibal corpse-make them suffer
    5.opeth-the grand conjuration

  • end the game right with some… CANNIBAL CORPSE!HAMMER SMASH FACE!!!!
    ye i kno what u mean blob, we need some death metal

  • SLAYER! THATS ALL I ASK FOR!

  • i think they need to put welcome to the jungle on the GH3 if u think im weird i have 9songs left to get all 5stars on expert and im only 12!!!!!!!!!

  • i think they need to put welcome to the jungle on GH3 trust me i have to get 9 more five star songs on expert FOR gh2 BUT IM ONLY 12 AND I GOT THE GAME IN MAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!2007

  • I THINK THEY SHOULD TAKE OUT FREE BIRD AND PUT STAIRWAY ON THE WII PS3 AND XBOX360. BUT LEAVE FREEBIRD ON THE PS2 JUST TO PISS THEM AND MY NEIGHBOR OFF

  • Me personally, I would like to see:

  • I want to see Linkin Park, Killswitch engage, and Papa Roach. Theyre so cool!!!

  • i live for fuckin guitar hero!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • i think a lot of people dont like korn because they dont understand their lyrics. its not korns music that makes them so popular, its their backround and story of how they became what they are today. and yeah i admit korn songs wouldn’t be right for guitar hero but korn songs that might be fun to me would be either “good god” or “somebody someone” and “falling away from me” too i guess.

  • For Guitar Hero 3, I think it would be awesome if some Green Day, Evanescence, Nirvana, U2 and Avenged Sevenfold was on there.

  • i think paradise city should reslly be in guitar hero 3 i mean the kickass solo at the is really awsome that game was made for guitar hero thats wat i think would make guitar hero 3 a good game

  • There is going to be a new installment of GH for 80s stuff. Green Day isnt a ‘new band’ theyve been around for YEARS. so stfu

  • my songs:

    led zepplin: stairway to heaven
    Pink Floyd: wish you were here
    black sabbath: parnoid
    ozzy: crazy train
    Primus: jerry was a racecar driver ( more of a bass song but an awesome one!)
    Van halen: Eruption
    Slayer: raining blood
    Pantera: cemetary gates
    megadeth: holy wars or take no prisoners
    AC/DC: back in black
    Lynyrd Skynyrd: sweet home alabama
    Guns n’ roses: paradise city
    any dethklok
    any rush
    more buckethead

    AND DEFINETLY HENDRIX AND METALLICA!!!

    And if they are gonna put some new stuff i wanna see some system of a down, avenged sevenfold and disturbed. :)

  • hey*cough* wear a cotton glove on your fret hand. it helps you slide your fingers up and down the buttons easier. GH3 deffinately needs ‘welcome to the jungle’ and ‘crazy train’. anyone agree with ‘highway to hell’.

  • There r some great songs mentioned here but get real. you have got to have zep, and acdc. other than those two heres a list of a few different songs

    Pink Floyd- wish you were here, or , have a cigar
    Sabbath- fluff
    Doors- the end
    TOOL- ummm just about any song, but 46 and 2 would rock for sure
    Clutch- Anything by clutch would be cool but i would like animal farm
    Stevie ray- voodoo chile (his is better than jimi’s)
    White Zombie- more human

    and if everyone has to have a sellout metallica song make it Battery or for some real fun make it pulling teeth (bass solo)

  • It would be awsome to see some blink-182. There music is cool to listen to and sweet to play. If you go on youtube and type in blink-182 in guitar hero it will show a bunch of sick blink-182 songs being played. And i dont want to here a bunch of metal on GH3 only metallica and Rob zombie.

    P.S No Trogdor crap

  • A good list of songs is this

    Blink-182-Damnit
    Hendrix- Foxey Lady
    Zeppelin- Stairway to Heaven
    AC/DC- Back in Black
    Metallica-Any song
    manfreds man-Blinded by the light (im not sure if the name is right)
    Avenged Sevenfold-Bat country
    Ozzy-crazy train
    Black Sabbath-Electric Funeral
    Guns n roses- Civil War or any song by them
    Nirvana- Smell like teen spirit
    The Donnas- Fall Behind me
    Rob Zombie- Dragula
    Van Halen- Running With the Devil
    Sytem of A Down- Chop Suey
    Alien Ant Farm- Smooth criminal
    Wolfmother- Joker and the Theif
    Offspring- Pretty Fly
    Red Hot Chili Peppers- Roller coaster of Love
    and that all i rlly want on there.

  • they should have some 50 cent

  • i saw an interview and it said that “evenflow” by pearl jam will be on gh3
