Coldplay's 'Violet Hill' to make Guitar Hero debut

by Dustin Burg { Jun 3rd 2008 at 12:45PM }

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, music group Coldplay's own Chris Martin mentioned that, for the release of their Viva La Vida album on June 17th, they'll be releasing their single "Violet Hill" to (what we expect) Guitar Hero III. No pricing or release date were mentioned in the EW article, but we're sure the musical DLC will pop up on the XBLM sometime in the next few weeks for their CD release. Anyone interested in strumming to Coldplay?

[Thanks, Dark Caboose]

murph @ Jun 3rd 2008 1:57PM

awesome. the first GH3 song guaranteed to cause drowsiness and cure insomnia. there is no "rock" in Coldplay, just a whole lotta "lame".

Lewis (GT: StoneRevolver) @ Jun 3rd 2008 2:06PM

rock band, please? Why do we get disturbed and mr. buffet?

zourskittles @ Jun 3rd 2008 4:42PM

Because they're both better than Coldplay

Disclaim3r @ Jun 3rd 2008 6:22PM

I would rather have Coldplay than Disturbed... Uggh.

Lewis (GT: StoneRevolver) @ Jun 3rd 2008 7:39PM

not liking coldplay is like not liking water. :/

soulpopped @ Jun 3rd 2008 2:30PM

Yes, if it's free, or if it's in Rock Band. I'm not spending money on GH3.

SytheMaster @ Jun 3rd 2008 3:15PM

As a massive coldplay fan I winced when I read your incorrect naming of the song. It's Violet Hil you numpties! Since when have coldplay been violent?

kavendano14 @ Jun 3rd 2008 3:49PM

Clocks is the most violent song Ive ever heard.

James @ Jun 3rd 2008 3:18PM

Guitar Hero 3 doesnt have nearly as much DLC as Rock Band so its nice to see us GH3 players getting more DLC.

Personally I am very dissapointed in the lack of DLC for GH3.

JerkfacedFed @ Jun 3rd 2008 3:33PM

yea who cares. coldplay sucks, AND theyre all buddy buddy with apple, remember that annoying commercial?

fck off coldplay

Stig @ Jun 3rd 2008 5:01PM

Like mentioned above, its "Violet Hill". Its too bad its not on Rock Band, I would have got it. Oh well.

Omar @ Jun 3rd 2008 5:04PM

I think they know by now that it's "Violet Hill".

In a couple hours time it'll be fixed and you'll all be looking like idiots for mentioning it.

psyborg @ Jun 3rd 2008 5:40PM

U2 should sue them.

Neopath @ Jun 3rd 2008 6:22PM

They don't even proofread their articles. Do you think they actually read the comments?

Lewis (GT: StoneRevolver) @ Jun 3rd 2008 7:40PM

They do. Trust me. But IDK why Dustin just hasn't noticed this one

Dustin Burg @ Jun 3rd 2008 8:38PM

yes, they do read the comments. yes, they do make mistakes. yes, they will fixed their mistakes. yes, they are shame faced.

willie @ Jun 3rd 2008 8:23PM

Both coldplay and disturbed are great bands.

new DLC for either game is fine by me, even though i dont have RB, i will one day...
