After finishing "Free Bird" in Guitar Hero II, you may have thought that it could never be topped as a "final" song. Oh sure, a more difficult song, but not a more fitting song. Allow us to present to you the final track of Guitar Hero III then: "The Devil Went Down to Georgia." The Charlie Daniels Band classic has been revitalized for the game, replacing its fiddle (don't you dare call it a violin) with, well, a guitar. The guitar is played by Steve Ouimette, who is apparently better than the Devil himself. Don't take our word for it, though. Give it a listen and judge for yourself.

Im really good at GH II and completed the whole game on expert with five stars. This song sounds a little too hard. i mean, its almost like Jordan. The one song i could never play on expert. idk. heres hoping its not "that" hard.

agreed with the first two comments.......i played the gh3 demo and it was fun, it just felt kinda weird, i dont know, i hope this game is good, but i feel like i am leaning more towards rock band for the song selection....

While the song features some great guitar, I can't help but feel like I've died a little inside, listening to a real classic song being butchered and twisted into something so unrecognizable for the sake of a game.

Sounds fun. They should have "Dueling Banjos" as the co-op final song

Why is it the final song!
Bark at the Moon- Its Ozzy Osbourne!
Freebird- The classic that should have been in the first one.
The Devil Went Down to Georgia- A remake of a country song....

I dont mind this remake. Would you really like to see the devil play a country sounding song? I mean seriously...The Devil is about Fast Guitars, not Fiddles or Banjos. Watch the Pick of Destiny and you will see what I am saying. And the last part sounds Freakin Brutal!!! This deserves to be in my iPod! Where can I download this track?!?!

Yeah... I don't think so. While I'll be totally amazed watching someone else play this song on expert I'm going to know that for every stroke played an angel in heaven dies.

This song fits as the final song because of the storyline of the game, where you battle Lou (Lucifer) in a rock off.
This song will be done in battle mode as well.

The devil is cooler on a fiddle. Especially a solid gold fiddle. And especially if that devil is the Robot Devil.

I think its an awesome cover as far as the music goes, but the rushed singing, and the way his voice sounds, kind of ruin the vocals. I always liked how this song tells an awesome story, but with that guy singing you miss that part completely. Still looking forward to playing it though. . . on expert.
