Guitar Hero 3 gets Journey, Foreigner, Boston DLC

by Justin McElroy { Jan 18th 2008 at 4:00PM }

It's been nearly a month since the last infusion of DLC came to Guitar Hero III, and if we weren't getting regular, reasonably priced updates to a game that also lets you sing and play drums, we would be totally curious about what was up. Today though, Shacknews reported what they believe to be three new songs coming to the game: Foreigner's "Juke Box Hero," Journey's "Any Way You Want It" and Boston's "Peace of Mind." All three of the songs were spotted in the game's online leaderboards (though there don't seem to be any sign of them now).

As long-time fans of Guitar Hero, we'd love to see Activision do something big to put their title back on even footing with Rock Band. But three songs, one of which ("Juke Box Hero") is already in Rock Band does not a comeback make. Let's hope these tracks, rocking though they may be, are part of a large offering.

Foreigner's "Juke Box Hero" - I am all over this one. Foreigner's comeback is gonna be here soon enough.

Where's that belt buckle?

Boston!

I'm tempted... but I think I'll pass and just wait for more Boston to come to Rock Band

If Activision is trying to get Guitar Hero back on track, their best bet would be to buy Harmonix...

LOL

Screw GH3. Put Journey and "Peace of Mind" on RB.

Dirt @ Jan 18th 2008 4:11PM

That Journey game was awesome on the 2600. I'd love to see it on XBLA.

Kendall B @ Jan 18th 2008 4:14PM

I've still got that cartridge holding up a table leg somewhere.

I thought that we were gonna finally get new content at the end of the year, when they make us buy GH4. I wish I bought Rock Band, because there is more content, and at least most of the songs aren't crappy covers.

NICE! I love me some Journey. Not bad live either, saw them with Def Leopard. That's another band they need.

I heard Dr. Feelgood for the first time in a long while and thought it would be good in GH or RB also.

Wilson @ Jan 18th 2008 4:32PM

We need AC/DC on GH ¬¬

Stick Nutzman @ Jan 19th 2008 10:37PM

"We need AC/DC on Rock¬Band¬, because all of their sing-along anthems can't even begin to be enjoyed with a guitar alone."

...fixed that for you.

I could care less about Guitar Hero now that Rock Band has entered my life.

However, all of these songs are great for either title. One step close to "Don't Stop Believing".

This past Wednesday night, I found my GH3 disc to have been ruined by the dog though still in one piece. Thursday I get home from work, I try to pop in Uncharted but the disc won't go in. If I was a betting man, I'd put my money on my 20 month old son putting the damaged GH3 disc in my PS3 and now it's stuck in there. Sony is sending the box for repair. What a week. :(

Fernando Rocker @ Jan 18th 2008 4:43PM

Journey? Someone called me?

Brian Fantana @ Jan 18th 2008 4:44PM

Good songs, but after playing Rock Band, GH3 just isn't in the same league. Plus GH3 is no fun because it's so damn hard, at least for me.

Zatch @ Jan 18th 2008 4:51PM

I was sort of sad to see GH3 get songs that I want for Rock Band. But then I saw that I have only heard the one that is already on Rock Band, and stopped feeling sad.

grapejoos @ Jan 18th 2008 4:53PM

To paraphrase Triumph, this DLC pack is like "poop travelling up into the butthole"...not unlike a Bon Jovi show at Giants Stadium.

Neebs @ Jan 18th 2008 5:13PM

Three great songs.

What, no Separate Ways? *sigh*

konajinx @ Jan 18th 2008 5:39PM

I believe I actually still have a copy of "Electronic Games" from way back when with that Journey ad in it stowed away back in my toybox in mom and dad's attic. Ah, the good old crappy days.

Co @ Jan 18th 2008 7:21PM

LMAO look at dude on the right...

cpsterndog @ Jan 18th 2008 8:21PM

I have Journey Escape! My roommates and I busted out the old Atari last year and we played this for hours, running from the groupies and managers, dodging stages, and running for the limo, with "Don't Stop Believing" playing in the background!

Zeus.:God @ Jan 18th 2008 9:03PM

Wow... I was actually listening to Journey when I saw this...

T3H WICKERMAN (FDF) @ Jan 18th 2008 9:06PM

Too little to late you filthy overchargin overpromising weird singer 50 note streak ruining arse gobblers.

playwhutyalike @ Jan 18th 2008 11:24PM

If I was a groupie I'd totally let those guys do me. Ah fuck it, they can do me anyway.

randomshagz @ Jan 18th 2008 11:26PM

Just a small town girl
Living in a lonely world
She took the midnight train going anywhereee...

Sing Along if you know the words!

Vegnagun bwf @ Jan 19th 2008 2:05AM

You only know that because you've seen the family guy episode, not because you're actually a Journey fan.

MattyPlant @ Jan 19th 2008 4:58AM

Looking forward to this alot finally some more 80's tracks, but when o when o when are we gonna get some Def Leppard? They are like one of the best bands ever! Wheres the Who, AC/DC, Led Zepplin, Pink Floyd, FFS we could even have "The Chain" by Fleetwood Mac!
GH3 promised us more DL's than ever and so far we got videos about the DL's, wtf!
Gimme some rock will ya! Its called Legends of Rock, and there aint enough Legends on there!
