The next installment in the Guitar Hero series finally has a complete name. It will be known as Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock. They have also given us some pictures of the guitars we'll be using to rock out. All guitars in the game will be Gibson, as they have signed an exclusive deal with them. That's actually pretty cool, because Gibson makes some great guitars. Each system will have its own unique wireless controller, though all three of the next-gen consoles will have a variant of the Les Paul. The guitar for the Wii appears to have a complete Wiimote installed in it. No word on whether it is built-in, or if you simply insert your own. The PS2 variant will include a classic Kramer.

Note that these will be master tracks, not cover songs: Weezer – Say It Ain't So Black Sabbath – Paranoid The Who – Won't Get Fooled Again Nirvana – In Bloom The first tracks look pretty good, a nice blend of older and newer (90's) rock. It's good to see that they were still able to secure bands that were in previous Guitar Hero games. The songs aren't what I'm excited about today, they've finally let us in on the details of the instruments we'll be playing. Read The Full Story

I'll admit, I've really not been excited about Guitar Hero 80's Edition. Yes, Holy Diver will most certainly rock, but overall, I've been disappointed with the track list. Until now. The new songs are after the jump. Read The Full Story
