Following yesterday's Activision financial conference call, Neversoft has confirmed that the Metallica song "One" will appear in Guitar Hero III. The track will not be a cover, but will indeed be a master track of the song, Metallica's first single to have a music video, which started an epic descent (ascent?) into mainstream culture that ultimately led to Grammy awards and Lars Ulrich trying to sue you for looking at him funny.
While this might not seem like news to some, Metallica's "One" is an epic track (true, regardless of how you feel about the band), and one that will lend itself rather well to the series. If anything, the recent slew of Guitar Hero III song announcements prove that Neversoft are definitely on the right track in terms of securing high-profile, highly demanded music for the series.
There's going to be a bloody battle this holiday season between Rock Band and Guitar Hero III. After the recent mind-blowing Rock Band DLC content announcements, Activision came back with a slew of solid song announcements. Hey Electronic Arts/MTV/Harmonix -- the ball's in your court now; it'll be exciting to see what else these guys have up their sleeves.
Competition like this is truly good for gamers, indeed.

Cant tell if this is true or dream
Deep down inside I feel to scream
This terrible silence stops me
Now that the war is through with me
Im waking up I can not see
That there is not much left of me
Nothing is real but pain now
Hold my breath as I wish for death
Oh please god,wake me
Back in the womb its much too real
In pumps life that I must feel
But cant look forward to reveal
Look to the time when Ill live
Fed through the tube that sticks in me
Just like a wartime novelty
Tied to machines that make me be
Cut this life off from me
Hold my breath as I wish for death
Oh please god,wake me
Now the world is gone Im just one
Oh god,help me hold my breath as I wish for death
Oh please God help me
Darkness imprisoning me
All that I see
Absolute horror
I cannot live
I cannot die
Trapped in myself
Body my holding cell
Landmine has taken my sight
Taken my speech
Taken my hearing
Taken my arms
Taken my legs
Taken my soul
Left me with life in hell
Pffft. Gamers. Never happy. :D
Pro Faceoff FTW!!!
Now just throw in some AC/DC or Zeppelin, and this’ll be the greatest music game ever at its price point. (Rock Band might be better, but $200 is steep, especially when I’ll already have spent $100 on this game.)
disagree completely.. FWtBT rocks but it's much too simple of a song for GH, or even RB for that matter. 'One' is a much better choice, although since gamers are never happy (as Nick reminded us =] ), i'd prefer anything from the Master of Puppets album myself. that was their best IMO.
..but yes, finally getting Metallica onboard is a step in the right direction for sure. my only request/hope is that only sings from their good albums (the first 4) will be used.
oh how i wish Rock Band would make Master of Puppets a downloadable album to play someday.
The fact that my favourite Metallica song is now on Gh3 has changed things quite a bit.
Come on Rock Band, reveal some kick ass songs to win me over again.
"One" by Metallica is my #1 absolute favorite song ever. It was my hope beyond hope that it would be included in a Guitar Hero game. Now I will need a count-down to release.
Oh happy day.
