Guitar Hero III gets Def Leppard DLC

It's been a while since we've heard any big Guitar Hero III news. The assault of Rock Band and its variety and scope of DLC shoved GHIII out of the limelight for many. Whether this new development is any sort of attempt to bring back the game's popularity or not, we can't help but think that this would do better in Rock Band. Basically, Def Leppard is going to be releasing its new single "Nine Lives" via GHIII before any retail or online release. The song will be available in a three song pack that will be online for download April 24th in the US and May 8th in the UK. The other two songs in the pack include "Rock of Ages" and "Photograph".

too little too late, ROCK BAND is the greatest
Boff @ Apr 11th 2008 9:21AM
Maybe, but too bad nobody in the EU is going to buy it.
PWND @ Apr 12th 2008 1:20PM
Yeah, you right about that... after getting Rock Band, there's no reason to buy DLC for GH anymore.
GH has on new song a month and RB has 3+ a week!

Where's 'Pour Some Sugar On Me'?
Gemini Ace @ Apr 11th 2008 10:10AM
I second that. Why wouldn't that be included?
jose_edwaldo @ Apr 11th 2008 9:15AM
If I'm reading things correctly, it'll be available for 360 in Europe on April 24th as well.....only Euro PS3 owners have to wait until May 8th...
Doc @ Apr 11th 2008 9:21AM
let me go ahead and apologize now to GHIII fans, wow you guy's not only get a measly few tracks as is ,but now have crap to add to the list...No thank you rock band is still holds your head underwater. What's next kenny G?
Boff @ Apr 11th 2008 9:23AM
Bring on the GHIII content I say. I'll stick with that thank you Harmonix, you rip off cunts.
Majiq @ Apr 11th 2008 11:32AM
How is Harmonix, the people who created GH in the first place, a rip off artist? They ripped off of a design they developed? Uhmm.... okay.
Jeramy @ Apr 11th 2008 12:56PM
if anything, neversoft are the ripoff cunts, as gh3 basically rips off harmonix's work (as in neversoft took over after the franchise was already established and did a shoddy job)
jose_edwaldo @ Apr 11th 2008 3:53PM
If you're on about the Euro release then I understand your pain....but really, the Rock Band price is probably more to do with EA rather than Harmonix. You can also pre-order the bundle, and the game for a total of £40 under the RRP at play.com.....

Dammit, I always used to get Def Leppard and Aerosmith confused, and now Def Leppard go and release a song called Nine Lives?
Huzzah for new GH3 content, I'll be using some of my previous Rock Band budget to pick this up. I'll use the rest to put a deposit on a car.

Where's the Rock Band Def Leppard DLC with the OneHandDrumMode?^^
Big Wizz @ Apr 11th 2008 10:00AM
HAHAHAHAHAHAH. Classic.
Btw, GHIII, if you would have included GOOD songs earlier, I might have bought you.
pj @ Apr 11th 2008 9:50AM
If this were for Rock Band, I'd probably throw down for it. As is..........I've probably bought my last GHIII DLC already.
I'll wait for Rock Band DLC.
Bac0nator @ Apr 11th 2008 9:59AM
From the guitar aspect Guitar Hero 3 is a better game hands down. Playing expert guitar on Rockband is no challenge, where expert on guitar hero requires some skill.
NOOK @ Apr 11th 2008 10:05AM
I'm really missing a lot of songs there, "pour some sugar on me", "let's get rocked", "women", "two steps behind" etc. and i'd also love "demolition man" featuring formula 1/guitar-god damon hill =)
Zoot Suit Jedi @ Apr 11th 2008 10:58AM
They really should just make the entire Hysteria Album, DLC for Rockband.
Deezul @ Apr 11th 2008 10:37AM
They included my least favorite Def Leopard track. ANY OF THEM... I will play the already included Def Leopard tracks once for each level. Ugh.
Yeah, that's right. I said it. Def Leopard is teh suck.
Boff @ Apr 11th 2008 11:02AM
Ahem. Def LEPPARD.

What has nine arms and sucks?
The BS Police @ Apr 11th 2008 12:49PM
You
ccc @ Apr 11th 2008 1:00PM
Finally new tracks.
Rock of Ages alone makes this worth it.
jkdoug @ Apr 11th 2008 3:53PM
If these were free (and you didn't mention a price, at least in this post), I might actually play GH3 for once. I only bought the game to get the guitar for Rock Band.
I agree that Def Leppard would be better in Rock Band, and there are better songs they could include, too. Hopefully, there will be a crossover deal and we'll see it happen. How many people just want to try the drums one handed (maybe add a special foot pedal!) with the Def Leppard tracks? Heh.

The tracks SUCK! They are poorly mastered from live 1993 performances which sound terrible. The lead singers voice is shot and neither of the guitar mixes can even be heard above the rest of the mix. They should just be ashamed for releasing such crap.
