I wouldn't call myself a Guitar Hero addict, despite what my friends and family might say. Anywho, the final track for the upcoming Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock title has been announced as The Devil Went Down to Georgia.
Now anyone that's heard the song (who hasn't?) is going to call bullshit, as the song is centered around fiddling, and the game is Guitar Hero, not Fiddle Hero. Fear not, the fiddle section has been converted to guitar for maximum rocking.

Guitar Hero III’s ‘Devil Went Down to Georgia’ to be Metal
Target gets a special Guitar Hero 3: Legends of Rock bundle
It has the game, and two controllers. Not one, but two, that means if you keep bumming one off your friend because you are too cheap to buy the game and your own controller, you can get this bundle at a savings of about $20 and have two.
That $20 savings isn’t off of the regular package price, as this package will cost you $109.99, but that’s about $20 less than the normal one guitar/game package and a second separate guitar. Me myself and I, I bought GH2 for my 360 before I went and bought a used PS2, so I think if I buy anything GH or RB related it will have to be for that system.

Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock controller compatibility questions answered
The launch of Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock is coming up quick. You can bet that we’ll be bringing you all of the juicy details just as soon as I get my hands on it. I do have a tidbit of information regarding compatibility issues with the new Les Paul.
There have been rumors around that the X-Plorer will/won’t work with Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock. I decided to go straight to the source and find out what Red Octane had to say about compatibility of the old and new controllers. Mind you, I only talked about the 360 controllers, as they have really been the only ones in question. Hit the jump for the full transcript of my Q&A with Bryan Lam of Red Octane.
Guitar Hero III for the PS3 – Not completely wireless
The launch of Guitar Hero III is less than three weeks away. If you're hoping to get a new wireless controller for your PS3, you may be a bit disappointed when you open the box.

Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock – Seventeen new tracks announced
Yes, there has been a lot of coverage of Rock Band this week. However, we can't forget about the franchise that got me addicted to a plastic guitar. Activision has just released seventeen new tracks for Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock. Hit the jump and check them out.
While a good bit of the surprise was spoiled by a leaked set list last month that appears to have been fairly accurate, we're still glad to see the official announcement of these tracks. The game is set to be released on October 28. You can bet that this game will rock every bit as much as the first two.

Guitar Hero III tracklisting leaked
If you're looking for an unfair advantage in your next friendly Guitar Hero tournament, perhaps you should swot up on the following list of songs. They're supposedly the finalised tracklisting for Guitar Hero III, next sequel to the insanely popular music games (and almost permanent distraction of SlashGear writer Chris Scott Barr). As might be expected, there's a fair mixture of trad rock and classics-in-the-making such as Muse's Knights of Cydonia.
Full list for your perusal after the cut.

Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock – For the PC and Mac!
Anyone that reads SlashGear very often will probably have figured out that I'm a huge Guitar Hero fan. One of the things that has disappointed me about the series is the lack of support for the PC (and Mac). While I do have an Xbox 360 which can play Guitar Hero II and the upcoming Guitar Hero III, I still would love to play it on my gaming rig. It looks like I may finally have that opportunity with Guitar Hero III.
According to the guys at Aspyr which is the developer for Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock, they have decided to bring it to both the PC and Mac, because they feel they can reach a greater audience, since everyone has a computer.

Air Guitar AG Riff Master Guitar Controller featuring KISS
Air Guitar, a company apparently specializing in high-end Guitar Hero controllers is set to begin releasing models made from real guitars featuring graphics of rock icons. One such example is KISS.
The pictured guitar is made from a Peavy guitar. Personally, I think it would be awesome to rock out on a real-ish guitar, especially with the Rock Band drum set being considerably closer to a real digital drum set than the current GH guitars are to a real guitar.

Rumor – Guitar Hero III to feature Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine
The competition between Guitar Hero III and Rock Band is really heating up as the launch dates inch closer. It looks like Red Octane is going all out trying to get big names to appear in Guitar Hero III. So far they have you battling Slash from G&R, and having Bret Michaels from Poison lending you vocals, but now another name has cropped up.
