Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock includes re-recorded Alice Cooper, The Runaways
It seems Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock will attempt to achieve its goal of keeping the classic rock hits alive in a fairly unorthodox manner -- by, well, redoing them. Activision has revealed another batch of the rhythm title's songs, which include two exclusive re-recordings of Alice Cooper's "No More Mr. Nice Guy" and The Runaways' "Cherry Bomb," as performed by their original artists. Check out all the new additions -- including un-re-recorded fossils like Edgar Winter's "Free Ride" and Styx's "Renegade" -- just after the jump. Update: Check out a behind the scenes video about the re-recording process after the break.
Guitar Hero 5 and Band Hero: June DLC
[flickr] June's shaping up to be quite a packed month for Guitar Hero 5 and Band Hero DLC aficionados. On top of a free pack of national anthems for Xbox 360 and PS3 users -- you haven't lived until you've rocked out to Germany's national anthem, "Lied der Deutschen," by the way -- three separate band track packs will be available. These will feature Stone Temple Pilots, Alice Cooper and All Time Low. Head past the break to check out the full list of DLC. We have a feeling that Spanish foreign exchange student staying with your family this summer is going to be pumped to play some "Marcha Real."
Rock Band Wiikly: Alice Cooper tracks are out for summer
This week, the Rock Band 2 Wii DLC collection receives a much-needed infusion of back-catalog content, including a set of six vaguely shocking classic rock songs from Alice Cooper. In addition, nineteen more blasts from the past will be available tomorrow for 200 Wii Points each, from Roy Orbison, Queens of the Stone Age, and more. We know it's hard to pay attention to Rock Band news that isn't about The Beatles, but this has the benefit of being available. Soon.
Rock Band Weekly: Alice Cooper is Taking Back Sunday
This week's Rock Band Weekly comes a day earlier than normal, courtesy of the Rock Band Community Zine, which has announced that next week will be an Alice-travaganza thanks to an Alice Cooper six pack. Not only that, but four of the six songs are live tracks and, if Alice Cooper isn't your thing, there's also a Taking Back Sunday three pack for the taking. Prices aren't revealed, but we don't expect them to deviate much from the norm. Come on, a live version of "School's Out" has got to be worth a punt, right? Alice Cooper 6-pack (800 / $10) "Billion Dollar Babies (Live)" (160 / $2) "I'm Eighteen (Live)" (160 / $2) "School's Out (Live)" (160 / $2) "Under My Wheels (Live)" (160 / $2) "Poison" (160 / $2) "Vengeance Is Mine" (160 / $2) Taking Back Sunday 3-pack (440 / $5.49) "Liar (It Takes One To Know One)" (160 / $2) "MakeDamnSure" (160 / $2) "What's It Feel Like To Be A Ghost?"
