He might be a ludicrously absurd clown who spends his time sniffing around child-like young ladies, but I must confess I'm somewhat partial to a bit of the ol' Marilyn Manson now and again. The circus freak of croaky rock will be making his skeletal way to Guitar Hero III as part of the next downloadable song pack that hits August 7th.
The pack will feature Manson's Putting Holes In Happiness as remixed by Nick Zinner, along with Flyleaf's Tina and AFI's Circinogen Crush. This pack was originally given to purchasers of the Guitar Hero III soundtrack (a soundtrack of a soundtrack -- classy), but will now be available to XBL and PSN users on Thursday.
Shame that there's not more Manson, really. I might have finally bought some GH III DLC if it'd been a full-on Manson pack. Ah well, maybe one day Guitar Hero will have songs I actually like on there -- seriously, we're due an Electric Light Orchestra song by now.
ACTIVISION SET TO RELEASE TRACK PACK FOR GUITAR HERO® III: LEGENDS OF ROCK FEATURING DISTINGUISHED ARTISTS FROM INTERSCOPE RECORDS
SANTA MONICA, CA – August 5, 2008 – The distinctive chords of three hit artists from Interscope Records will soon take the stage in Activision Publishing, Inc.’s (Nasdaq: ATVID) Guitar Hero® III: Legends of Rock.

DON'T CARE!
The Manson song was pretty damn hard... the guitar parts are crazy.
Putting Holes in Happiness is a great song as well but I don't know what the Nick Zinner remix is like.
Fuck I hate Guitar Hero's DLC content. So average and shit. Won't be getting Rock Band (STILL isn't here in Australia) but will definitely get Rock Band 2 imported from the UK.
Actually... I don't even know if I want that. But yeah fuck Rock Band, fuck Guitar Hero.
