Guitar Hero Smash Hits gets its Guitar Hero III tracks photo

We all know which Guitar Hero and Guitar Hero II songs will appear in the upcoming full-band "best of," Guitar Hero Smash Hits. To say it looks good is an understatement. 

Now, the tracks that will appear from Guitar Hero III have been revealed, and its the smallest selection so far. They are.:

  • Pat Benatar - "Hit Me With Your Best Shot"
  • Living Colour - "Cult Of Personality"
  • Heart - "Barracuda"
  • Kiss - "Rock And Roll All Nite"
  • AFI - "Miss Murder"
  • DragonForce - "Through The Fire And Flames"
  • Priestess - "Lay Down"
  • Slayer - "Raining Blood"
Yes, you'll now have to master DragonForce on all instruments. But "Raining Blood" on Expert+ drums should be a good time. Why? Because drummer Dave Lombardo is the effin' man, that's why. Hit the jump for a video of that happening.

This seems like it is looking to be a good setlist, I have to say. Good songs, but not 60 bucks worth.

Yeah, I agree with JerinsFury. I'd like to play a lot of these songs with full band, but after just getting GH: Metallica, I'm not willing to shell out another 50-60 bucks for them.

Really not a big list of GH3 tunes.

GH3 was subpar anyway so I'm not crushed at the tiny set list, still wish there were more tracks from GH1 though.

Still holding out hope that they include a "best of bonus tracks" list. In a lot of cases they were more enjoyable than the main set list.

That's the cover of Death of the Dragon, the third book in the Cormyr saga.

I'm not quite sure what being able to identify a semi-obscure fantasy novel based on its artwork alone says about me.

There is a reason that the selection of songs from GH3 is the smallest. That reason is because it had the worst selection of songs of all the GHs. Listed above are the only good ones. If you substitute AFI for cliffs of dover.

I still haven't bought any DLC yet. Hopefully they'll have a GOTY edition.

Cliffs of Dover? You really want to play a song that only uses two instruments on a game built for four? What are the vocalist and bassist supposed to do? Play a 'twiddle your thumbs' mini-game? Can I end every sentence with a question mark? No I can't. :p

Pshh! To my knowledge there is a bassist playing in the song. And the singer can do what the singer does in RB when I want to play YYZ. Suck it up and sit it out! I want Cliffs of Dover WAAAH etc.

I'm curious to see what they are going to do with the Through the Fire and Flames note chart. It is definitely not going to be the same. Hopefully they will change the beginning bullshit to the slider/tappy stuff so I can do it no problem!

@Syn:
Or just leave the 'Intro' out since it's synth/keys and not guitar.

@LOLface: or that. but they could leave it in and it wouldn't bother me too much as long as I can do it

@Exquisitor: There is indeed a bass line in Cliffs of Dover. And there have been plenty of instrumentals in the full-band Guitar Hero games before, there's even one on disc (YYZ), so it's not like it's a totally new concept.

Also, the vocalists are supposed to supposed to sing along with the guitar in a loud, annoying falsetto. The instruction manual even says so.

Well, at least they got one thing right!

@Perfidious Sinn, isn't YYZ, DLC? (So many letters!)
