GHIII lays on 6 more tracks: Sabbath, AFI, more

Activision has announced the addition of 6 more tracks to Guitar Hero III. The new tracks consist of both newer bands like AFI and Queens of the Stone Age and classic groups like Black Sabbath and Blue Oyster Cult. Check out the new tracks below.

"Miss Murder," by AFI
"3's and 7's," by Queens of the Stone Age
"Raining Blood," by Slayer
"Reptillia," by The Strokes
"Paranoid," as made famous by Black Sabbath
"Cities on Flame," as made famous by Blue Oyster Cult
"Mississippi Queen," as made famous by Mountain

As usual, pay close attention to the distinction between "by" and "as made famous by." In other words, 4 of the 7 new tracks are master recordings, leaving "Paranoid," "Cities on Flame," and "Mississippi Queen" as the only covers. We also must note that "Mississippi Queen" was featured in a leaked video of Rock Band shortly before E3 (the video has since been pulled). While its inclusion in Rock Band is far from official at this point, it will be interesting to see if Rock Band and Guitar Hero III wind up sharing songs. We've posted a list (politely cribbed from Joystiq) of the 22 officially announced tracks after the break.

"Paint It Black," by The Rolling Stones
"Cherub Rock," by Smashing Pumpkins
"Sabotage," by Beastie Boys
"The Metal," by Tenacious D
"My Name is Jonas," by Weezer
"Knights of Cydonia," by Muse
"Rock And Roll All Nite," as made famous by Kiss
"School's Out," as made famous by Alice Cooper
"Slow Ride," as made famous by Foghat
"Cult of Personality," by Living Colour
"Barracuda," as made famous by Heart
"Suck My Kiss," by the Red Hot Chili Peppers
"La Grange," by ZZ Top
"Number Of The Beast," as made famous by Iron Maiden
"Through The Fire And Flames," by DragonForce
"Miss Murder," by AFI
"3's and 7's," by Queens of the Stone Age
"Raining Blood," by Slayer
"Reptillia," by The Strokes
"Paranoid," as made famous by Black Sabbath
"Cities on Flame," as made famous by Blue Oyster Cult
"Mississippi Queen," as made famous by Mountain

21. Also, AFI isn't a new band. They've been around since 1991.

22. I'm so bummed. If they had QOTSA's 'Go With The Flow' instead of '3s and 7s' I'd be so getting this.
