GHII gets some heavy DLC tomorrow

Even with Guitar Hero III just month's away, it looks like Activision is still keen to milk its very lucrative downloadable content business. As such, the company has announced a new song pack for Guitar Hero II. Like the previous packs, the new song pack includes three new tracks for you to shred to your heart's content. The song pack includes the following tracks.
  • Trivium - "Detonation"
  • Atreyu - "Right Side of the Bed"
  • Protest the Hero - "Bury the Hatchet"
Lest you are unfamiliar with the new tracks, let's just say they're a bit on the hard side, especially compared to last month's DLC. According to ScoreHero, the new content will be available tomorrow at 2:00AM (PT) for the still onerous price of 500 MS Points. Now, if Activision would finally release some Fine Young Cannibals, we'd be in business.

BTBAM would be so sick. I've seen a nice custom chart of Selkies. Or anything from their latest album would be amazing.. customs are the only reason I wish I had a PS2 :(

i just want some mainstream songs that i have heard of before. something that you can turn on the radio to a noraml rock station and hear. i'm not talking about a my chemical romance overload, just 3 mainstream songs. i vaguely remember hearing of the band atreyu before but not enough to buy this song pack. this DLC at this price is getting old and i still won't buy it......

He's right this stuff is crap. sorry if you like heavy metal, but what we really need is some AC/DC or SRV. not death metal.

"I used to hate on Rap too. Then I turned 15 and learned to appreciate all music"

word.

except this is bullshit. i hate that "hardcore" shit, i guess theyre really trying to appeal to its hot topic demographic..

*DLC bundled with tight jeans and a clue to realize what mistake you just made.

In celebration of the release of Halo 3 they should have the Halo theme song as a song download (Mjolnir version). I'll be blasting that song all the way to EB to pick up Halo 3 next week!

@23 this stuff is FAR from death metal. Death metal is like Six Feet Under and Canibal Corpse.

This is just straight metal

"i just want some mainstream songs that i have heard of before."

Activision specifically came out and said they don't just want popular songs that people like. They want songs with great guitar solos.

As of 7:30 CT this morning, the promised content was nowhere to be found on the Marketplace.

Nice going, Activision. Another win for the fans.

Ahhhhh I wish Right Side of the Bed wasn't such a fucking rockin' song so I wasn't compelled to buy this. If only they had picked a lamer Atreyu song, I could save up my MS points...
