Rock out to WoW, free GHIII DLC now available
Viva la vida! Coldplay GHIII DLC is now available
A reminder for those who, with the aid of Guitar Hero III, were looking forward to jamming out to Coldplay this week, your downloadable content is now available. The GHIII Coldplay Track Pack, featuring the songs "Violet Hill", "Yellow" and "God Put A Smile Upon Your Face", is now ready for your 500 Microsoft point purchase off the XBLM. So, this being a reminder, you can go and get your Coldplay DLC purchase on if you so choose. Also, seeing that this is probably going to be our last post talking about Coldplay, we feel the need to sneak in their Apple iTunes commercial. We thoroughly enjoy the purple and blue smoke that emits from the band as they play ... it's freakin' b-e-a-utiful!
Coldplay DLC takes over GHIII next Thursday
Just as Entertainment Weekly promised, Activision recently sent word that music from Coldplay, including a track from their latest album Viva la Vida, will be making its way to the XBLM as Guitar Hero III downloadable content next Thursday, June 19th. The Coldplay DLC pack will consist of three tracks including their latest single "Violet Hill", their first ever hit "Yellow" and the single "God Put a Smile Upon Your Face".

Official press release posted after the break.

Guitar Hero III releases Isle of Wight DLC
The second of five sets of June's promised Guitar Hero III DLC just released today, bringing with it music from the Isle of Wight to a living room (or den) near you. Available for 500 Microsoft points off the XBLM is the new GHIII Isle of Wight Track Pack featuring the musical tracks "Problems" by The Sex Pistols, "Shoot the Runner" by Kasabian and "I Predict a Riot" by Kaiser Chiefs. And because we loved it so much last time, embedded above is an encore presentation of Kasabian's "Shoot the Runner" video. It's almost like a violent gun filled iPod commercial, no?
Video: GHIII 100% perfect Dragonforce's 'TTFAF'
Here it is! It really happened! One accomplishment that we never thought we'd see get accomplished has been, well ... accomplished. Guitar Hero III's overly long "Through the Fire and Flames" track by Dragonforce has recently been played 100% perfect on expert difficulty with video proof to boot. Youtube account holder iamchris4life uploaded his nearly cyborg-like GHIII strumming performance and, what more can be said? It's "Through the Fire and Flames" played perfectly on expert. Just watch and be amazed.
Also, towards the end of this eight minute video there is some NSFW celebratory "holy sh*t" remarks and f-bombs, but really, can you blame him? Celebrate however you want iamchris4life, you crazy good GHIII expert you.

Piggybacking today's announcement of the new Guitar Hero III Motorhead DLC, Activision just sent word that they're planning to release five sets of GHIII DLC during the month of June with today's Motorhead Track Pack being the first.

Guitar Hero III releases Motorhead Track Pack
Continuing the flow of news about fresh XBLM content, we bring word that British heavy metal band Motorhead has just made its musical DLC debut, releasing three new Guitar Hero III tracks to the XBLM.
For 500 Microsoft points you can score GHIII's three song Motorhead Track Pack, featuring master recordings of "(We are) The Road Crew", "Stay Clean" and the one and only "Motorhead". Viva the 1970s! Now, if we could only figure out Motorhead's current band lineup we'd be all good to go. After all, we have to know which guitarist we're supposed to be imitating if we're expected to play their GHIII DLC ... right?

Guitar Hero III gets Def Leppard DLC
It's been a while since we've heard any big Guitar Hero III news. The assault of Rock Band and its variety and scope of DLC shoved GHIII out of the limelight for many. Whether this new development is any sort of attempt to bring back the game's popularity or not, we can't help but think that this would do better in Rock Band. Basically, Def Leppard is going to be releasing its new single "Nine Lives" via GHIII before any retail or online release. The song will be available in a three song pack that will be online for download April 24th in the US and May 8th in the UK. The other two songs in the pack include "Rock of Ages" and "Photograph".
