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.

Whilst I don't like the Guitar Freaks series more than Guitar Hero.. I must say... If this were made by a Japanese company, the fiddle would have stayed in.
I hate that there's not many "Odd" songs in the series. Practically only one, the Freezepop song in the second game. God, I loved that. It was so different, and they didn't "Guitar-afy" it like they did the freezepop song in the first game.

I don't really like the singing, but the notes sound fun and challenging (...extremely challenging, definitely not a song I'll beat first try).

I was unaware that people still through the word "emo" around where it has no place. Get a clue.

Indeed, those well known emo artists ZZ Top, the Rolling Stones, Pat Benatar, Iron Maiden, the Beastie Boys and their ilk are certainly over-represented.
Silly person.

Wow, they pick SOME good artists but they don't pick their best songs, they pick a so-so song from them. Who the hell picked the songs for GHIII?
