In a conference call where Activision re-tooted their own horn about how much money they made so far this year, they also let it slip that Metallica would be in Guitar Hero III. The song will be One, a master track off of Metallica's ...And Justive for All album. This may sound like old news, but you're probably getting confused with Rock Band also having Metallica. Yes, it is going to be hard to keep track of what games have which songs in this holiday rhythm showdown.During the conference call Activision also said that Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks the '80s was the best-selling game on its first day in Activision history. They also said they are significantly increasing guitar production to meet the expected demand of Guitar Hero III this holiday season.

Although that photo is an interesting pick, since Cliff Burton did not play on that song.

Prepare to be in shock and awe.

However much Activision is paying Metallica in royalties for One, it's not enough, because this is going to generate some serious business for them.

Rock Band and GHIII aren't even released yet and Activision is already acting like they're playing catch-up to Harmonix / MTV.

You're all overlooking a simple fact. Rock Band has "Enter Sandman" which although a good song is the turning point for Metallica. One is a MUCH better song and one I look forward to playing far more.

Guitar Hero 3 gets 1 Metallica song?
OH NOES! WHAT WILL I DO?
I know!
I'll still get Rock Band instead and be able to play METALLICA ALBUMS. You know...MORE than ONE SONG.
And what are the 3 most popular Metallica albums that will most likely end up in Rock Band?
...And Justice for All, Master of Puppets, and Metallica ('the Black album').
Seriously. Anyone mulling buying GH3 over RB is out of their damned mind.

I think the main difference between GH3 and Rock Band is the fact that GH3 is the first game by somebody else than Red Octane, but Neversoft. Thus, GH3 feels a bit cheaper in the overall graphics (see the demo), but it looks like Neversoft did not fail in bringing the gameplay a bit forward. Bottom line is, Rock Band will include a higher quality being made by the original creators.
