17 new tracks announced for Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock screenshot

It looks like the rumors were true, for the most part anyway! Activision just sent over a press release announcing 17 new tracks which add up to about 60 tracks in total. Comparing this to the rumor list though, there's still about 13 tracks or so that have yet to be confirmed.

Of the new tracks listed, I'll be looking forward to making myself look like an idiot trying to play Disturbed, Slipknot, and White Zombie. I seriously have like two left feet when it comes to Guitar Hero. Hit the jump to see the entire list as well as all of the other tracks announced so far.

Stricken (by Disturbed)
Before I Forget (by Slipknot)
Through Fire and Flames (by Dragonforce)
Take This Life (by In Flames)
Number of the Beast (by Iron Maiden)
Paranoid (as made famous by Black Sabbath)
Rock You Like a Hurricane (as made famous by Scorpions)

= The best out of the entire list... according to my mixed taste anyways.

Still I would rather have had:

Down With The Sickness or Stupify (Disturbed)
Left Behind or My Plague (Slipknot)
My Sweet Shadow or anything from Clayman (In Flames)
Dance of Death or Afraid To Shoot Stangers (Iron Maiden)

GH3, from what I have seen in the video scares me a lot. Track list is awsome BUT it seams when you miss a note you still hear everything, including guitar, but a bit muted.

If it is like that it almost seems "their as made famous by" is merely a rip of the CDs and their can't mute the guitar alone since they don't have separate audio track for it.

hope i'm wrong.

I really don't expect Rock Band to kill Guitar Hero 3. I see some sort of co-existance going on between the two in rock harmony. I can't see Rock Band fans hating GH3. Although I can see Guitar Hero 3 fanatics taking cheap shots at Rock Band fans every chance they get.

Wasn't there a report a week or so ago saying you can't play 2 player in quick play in GH3? 'Cause that'd be a personal deal breaker for me, despite how fun some of these songs would be. It's backward steps like that that ruin games for me.

urbanyeti wins the internet for that panty-moistening rendition of Barracuda.

I read the "rumoured" complete tracklist a few weeks back on my phone when I was on the bus, and I pumped my fist in the air several times upon reading about Steve Ray Vaughan.
Just sucks that it's a cover.

The thought of finally being able to successfully play that entire song on a guitar......even if its a much lesser electronic one....

Not to mention all the other great shit.

Kool Thing is an interesting choice for Sonic Youth, but at least they made it on there.

Also, Number of the Beast is gonna be insane.

I don't think there is any doubt this is the best song list for the series so far. You can listen to all of the songs, including these brand new ones, at the playable Guitar Hero 3 Song List website.

I wonder if they're gonna butcher the Dead Kennedy's lyrics on Cambodia, ala Police Truck on "Rocks the '80s"? Still haven't forgiven them for that. Pretty excited to see Social D on there though. As for Charlie Daniels, well, that just belongs in Fiddle Hero, because there's little to no guitar in that track.

Well, it’s awesome to see all these songs confirmed by Activision. I’m looking forward to this game more than ever, especially now that it includes “Black Magic Woman/Gypsy Queen” (the actual full title of the song), “The Seeker”, “Same Old Song and Dance”, “Sunshine Of Your Love”, and “Pride and Joy”. WHOOOOO!
