I read about this the other day and it's damn awesome! I can't wait to get rocking on that Steve Vai lead.

As for Nintendo tracks: given there is no downloadable content on the Wii don't hold your breathe! Their claims that 'it might happen in the future' is a lie to make people happy.

Needs Master Chief as a playable character.

As if MC could play a guitar. Those massive clunky armour plated fingers of his wouldn't be the best for hitting notes.

Daft Punk did it, so did Lordi.

I've already played the Custom GH2 version on the PS2

Can't say it was the most fun song out there, but it's good enough.

Anyone have a go of Frets on Fire yet, that could be promising.

the song is pretty tricky to play, it is a shame there's no MC character though.

Just got the GH3 soundtrack today from Amazon, comes with a code to unlock 3 more downloadable songs.

Easy song on hard. I got to 58% on expert, cos i cant strum/hammer on quick enough for those fast notes

..

Fun song though.

I think they have already got me hooked in. Originally I wasn't planning to get Guitar Hero III but now with all this extra content so early from its release I feel really compelled to go buy it. Much better than what GHII received...
