GHIII lays on 6 more tracks: Sabbath, AFI, more

by Richard Mitchell { Aug 2nd 2007 at 3:30PM }

Activision has announced the addition of 6 more tracks to Guitar Hero III. The new tracks consist of both newer bands like AFI and Queens of the Stone Age and classic groups like Black Sabbath and Blue Oyster Cult. Check out the new tracks below.

"Miss Murder," by AFI
"3's and 7's," by Queens of the Stone Age
"Raining Blood," by Slayer
"Reptillia," by The Strokes
"Paranoid," as made famous by Black Sabbath
"Cities on Flame," as made famous by Blue Oyster Cult
"Mississippi Queen," as made famous by Mountain

As usual, pay close attention to the distinction between "by" and "as made famous by." In other words, 4 of the 7 new tracks are master recordings, leaving "Paranoid," "Cities on Flame," and "Mississippi Queen" as the only covers. We also must note that "Mississippi Queen" was featured in a leaked video of Rock Band shortly before E3 (the video has since been pulled). While its inclusion in Rock Band is far from official at this point, it will be interesting to see if Rock Band and Guitar Hero III wind up sharing songs. We've posted a list (politely cribbed from Joystiq) of the 22 officially announced tracks after the break.

"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 Foghat
"Cult of Personality," by Living Colour
"Barracuda," as made famous by Heart
"Suck My Kiss," by the Red Hot Chili Peppers
"La Grange," by ZZ Top
"Number Of The Beast," as made famous by Iron Maiden
"Through The Fire And Flames," by DragonForce
"Miss Murder," by AFI
"3's and 7's," by Queens of the Stone Age
"Raining Blood," by Slayer
"Reptillia," by The Strokes
"Paranoid," as made famous by Black Sabbath
"Cities on Flame," as made famous by Blue Oyster Cult
"Mississippi Queen," as made famous by Mountain

lol wonder if it is the medicine that makes his head shake like that!
He looks like Skeletor.

zourskittles @ Aug 2nd 2007 3:45PM

hate to comment again but according to Wiki, Paranoid, Mississipi Queen, and Reptillia are all listed in Rock Bands set list

Tony @ Aug 2nd 2007 3:52PM

Wikipedia can be edited by anyone, so I'm willing to bet stuff like Mississippi Queen is up there simply because it's been shown in the game... Nothing is apparently final until they announce it, sadly.

Mathieu Bonin @ Aug 2nd 2007 4:01PM

Mississippi Queen, Reptilia and Paranoid are all official songs announced at E3.

Interesting to see the songs being on both games though... what will be more interesting to see is how the "sheets", or how they play, compares.

But technically, Rock Band offers so much more from the same songs. And we know Harmonix gives a good "playing sense" to the notes. Let's see how the guys at Neversoft do.

Tony. I know that but theyve been up for a very long time so people that actually care about Wikipedia shouldve made not as to it not being official. It seems pretty official and according to Mathieu they are offical!

Rockband FTW

AtomicAgeZombie @ Aug 2nd 2007 4:31PM

I wouldn't call AFI a "new" band. They've been around for about 15 years now.

polly @ Aug 2nd 2007 4:33PM

Gotta say, that's a really solid lineup they've put together so far.

Andrew @ Aug 2nd 2007 4:39PM

i know its been said a million times but why can i understand ozzy when he sings, but cant when he talks? anyone??

Viridium @ Aug 2nd 2007 5:02PM

Am I nuts, or does a white striped baseball shirt auto-magically appear and disappear from Ozzy throughout that video - sometimes leaving him wearing only black?

Jeremy @ Aug 2nd 2007 6:05PM

fuck I love 3's and 7's

liqwid @ Aug 2nd 2007 6:09PM

I would only play this if Black Label Society was here. I know Zakk is lead guitar for Ozzy, but I'd rather listen to BLS.

ra1n1ngblood @ Aug 3rd 2007 12:46AM

Finally! Ive been beggin them to put raining blood on there forever, that song is perfect for guitar hero. Plus, paranoid is awesome too. Lookin forward to this game.

psyborg @ Aug 3rd 2007 1:09AM

I was probably gonna get both Rock Band and Guitar Hero 3, but if Hactivision is just gonna steal RockBand's tracklist whats the point of having both?

I could see Paranoid as a coincidense but Mississippi Queen? and out of all the Strokes songs Reptilia? Jesus, GH3 is just a RockBand wannabe I guess.
