In honor of St. Patrick's Day (and regularly getting shown up by Rock Band) Activision has released a free track pack of three Dropkick Murphys songs. The pack consists of master tracks of "Famous for Nothing", "Johnny, I Hardly Knew Ya", "Flannigan's Ball", and disappointment that you can't sing or drum along with the aforementioned tunes.
While new (and especially free) DLC for Guitar Hero III is usually welcomed with open arms by those not fortunate (or spendy) enough to own Rock Band, I have to echo the sentiments of one of my inimitable co-editors in saying this really is too little too late. Each announcement of new Guitar Hero III content, rather than filling me with glee at having new songs to play, makes me that much more apathetic toward the franchise, and pushes me closer to finally ponying up the dough for a more well-rounded music game experience.
[Thanks, Jpitner]

Cheers
also, dropkick is good if you like racists bands. hah
also,also, i've been flashed by the real mckenzies singer.. kilts.
I hate you Neversoft.
At least on medium... I'm a little out of practice for hard. :(
I do agree about Rock Band vs. GHII though. I'm pretty tempted to get Rock Band and get rid of GHIII. Once you get into hard it stops being fun without a shit-ton of constant practice. I'd definitely keep Guitar Hero II though, because that's just pure... amazing.
A question though... shouldn't the Rock Band peripherals be priced so that you can at least get the drums, mic and game for the same price as the kit. Some of us don't need another guitar. :p
Someone stole my hat when I was in the mosh pit :(
Yeah! I am a fellow nut if you check out my profile youll see in 3 seconds.
Anyways I completley agree with Qais. Guitar Hero isnt terrible, but after Rock Band I dont even enjoy playing it anymore.
