April Guitar Hero DLC brings Sabbath, Phoenix, and more photo

The rock n' roll Guitar Hero 5/Band Hero DLC train doesn't stop this April, with Activision pushing out tracks master tracks from Black Sabbath, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Phoenix, and more.

Take note that this isn't more Black Sabbath DLC. Instead, these are the tracks that were announced for February release, and then subsequently delayed without any reason given. Well here they are -- "After Forever," "Into The Void," and "Sweet Leaf" -- in all their glory, out on April 29.

The songs available in packs will run you 440 MS Points/$5.49/500 Wii Points, but you can pick up individual songs for 160 MS Points/$1.99/200 Wii Points. It's long, so I've put the full release schedule for April after the jump.

April 1 - Lynyrd Skynyrd Track Pack

  • "Freebird"
  • "Simple Man"
  • "Gimme Three Steps"

April 8 - Fall Out Boy Track Pack

  • "Thnks fr th Mmrs"
  • "This Ain't a Scene, It's an Arms Race"
  • "The Take Over, The Breaks Over"

April 15 - Single tracks

  • "Gives You Hell" - All-American Rejects
  • "There's No Other Way" - Blur
  • "Addicted" - Saving Abel

April 22 - Pheonix Track Pack

  • "Everything Is Everything"
  • "Lisztomania"
  • "1901"

April 29 - Black Sabbath Track Pack

  • "After Forever"
  • "Into The Void"
  • "Sweet Leaf"

Kinda' surprised they'd release a song as DLC that was already exportable with Smash Hits / Greatest Hits ( Freebird ). Still, they do like money.

Most of the Fallout Boy track pack and Free Bird are exportable from Band Hero and Smash Hits...

It's a relief for me. I'm not a fan of playing the same three note pattern for 2 minutes, chords, rinse, repeat.

No but seriously. Fucking hate Freebird.

@Occams:

Neat yes, but that Blur song's been featured as a Rock Band downloadable for quite some time, so no jealousy there. If they got like, Country House or Girls and Boys however... >.>

Good picks though I guess, but I kinda fell away from Guitar Hero and it's weirdly spaced-out timing.

D-Toid. Could you please cover this? I don't know if you guys already have. But this has been bothering me for a while, and I would like to have my broken game patched. DAMN ACTIVISION! I can attest to the validity that this glitch is still in the game to this day. http://5frets.com/264/guitar-hero-5-expert-drum-glitch-will-never-be-fixed/

@Xzyliac

When you think about it, we DO have Green Grass and High Tides, which is pretty much the burrito to a soft taco--same ingredients, just looks (in this case, sounds) different.

@vApathyv: Well that's what I get for not keeping up with the Rock Band DLC. I'm glad Blur gets some love as it is an amazing band. If they get Girls and Boys.....shit's gonna get real.
