I Don't Wanna Wear Another Box or a Bag
IGN has word that two more songs have been announced for Guitar Hero III: Lay Down by Priestess and Even Flow by Pearl Jam. While any Pearl Jam is enough to make me even more excited for GH3's line-up than I was before, I feel it my duty to point out something that many people (especially radio DJs) are apparently unaware of:
Pearl Jam actually made albums after Ten. I know, it's crazy, but it really happened. There are a number of them, in fact. Albums of prose poems? Why, no! Albums of rock and roll music! The sort of music one might wish to hear on the radio or in a soundtrack. Music that doesn't involve playing Alive for the eight millionth Goddamn time
Ten is a fine album, we can all agree. But Jesus, guys, it's not their only fine album. Try to branch out just a little. I know Life Wasted was on the 360 version of GH2, but that doesn't count because it's little more than a promotion for the current album. Maybe you're afraid to dip into what some people consider PJ's "low years." Fine. At least pick something off Vs., they were still "cool" then.
But in other news:
The Living Colour song, Cult of Personality, is a track that people have been wanting in Guitar Hero for a long time. There was a slight hitch with it though. The master track was nowhere to be found. Instead of getting a cover, Living Colour came in and re-recorded the song just for the game. And they threw in a wicked solo that makes this song on expert just plain ridiculous.
That's awesome.

Wow... that's great news about Cult of Personality. I can't get enough Guitar Hero news. Not a big Pearl Jam fan, so I can't really comment on the rest...

Guitar Hero News Zone:
New song (practically) confirmed for GH80z. Radar Love by White Lion. Testers and reviewers already have a nearly-complete version of the game, and I don't think this song was supposed to be revealed just yet, but the writer of this article let it slip:

It's in the 5th paragraph. The solo will be pretty cool...
