Free Tracks from Ferret Music and Metal Blade Records Also Rock the Guitar Hero Downloadable Set List
SANTA MONICA, Calif., April 29 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Metal mavens, pop stars and global invaders can rejoice this May with three new downloadable Track Packs coming to Activision Publishing, Inc.'s (Nasdaq: ATVI - News) Guitar Hero® World Tour. The eclectic downloadable set list opens with free music from Ferret Music and Metal Blade Records, followed by pop anthems from P!nk, Angels & Airwaves and OneRepublic, rounded out with three smash hits from Europe.
On May 7th, virtual rockstars will take the stage with three free tracks in the Ferret/Metal Blade Track Pack. Fans can download The Devil Wears Prada's "Dez Moines" two days after the launch of their newest album, With Roots Above and Branches Below. Joining "Dez Moines" are "On Broken Glass," off Chimaira's April release, Infection and "Grave of Opportunity" from Unearth's 2008 album, The March.
Coming to Guitar Hero World Tour on May 14th, the Pop Rock Track Pack features P!nk's #1 hit single "So What," which landed her a GRAMMY® nomination for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance. Having reached the peak position in various charts globally and risen to the top-10 in countless others, OneRepublic's "Stop and Stare" joins "Everything's Magic," the first single from Angels & Airwaves' most recent album, I-Empire, to complete the Track Pack.
On May 21st, Guitar Hero World Tour's global music library will continue to grow with three additional tracks from some of Europe's greatest bands. The fifth European Track Pack sees Swedish Metal band In Flames make their return to Guitar Hero with "Disconnected" from their 2008 album, A Sense of Purpose. Alongside In Flames is French rock band Housse de Racket with "Oh Yeah!" and Cody ChesnuTT's "Look Good in Leather," popularized through various commercials in the UK and Germany.

LOL.
Also yeah, after a good DLC month this one seems pretty avoidable. Of course the free tracks are always welcome but still... _________________

Pop should not really be in Guitar Hero, maybe alternative rock, but definitely not pop. _________________

Metal Blade is home to a bunch of worthwhile groups, including Armored Saint, Amon Amarth, Fates Warning, King Diamond, Cellador, Bolt Thrower, and Falconer. Oh well.

The song... eh, I'll give you that it's catchy. It didn't strike me the same way the Locksley and Fratellis songs, or Mauvais Garcon for that matter, did.
All and all, I think I'm still firmly in the "not buying GHWT DLC" category. I don't play the game nearly enough to justify the purchase. _________________
