GHIII nabs DragonForce, Chili Peppers, more

The pleas of Guitar Hero fans everywhere have been answered. Yes, DragonForce will finally be featured in a Guitar Hero title, specifically Guitar Hero III. The fancy lads at ScoreHero have uncovered several new groups to be featured in the game including:

• The Red Hot Chili Peppers — "Suck my Kiss"
• ZZ Top — "La Grange"
• Iron Maiden — "Number of the Beast"
• DragonForce — "Through the Fire and Flames"

Even better news, all the above tracks except "La Grange" are the master recordings. A new character by the name of Midori was also revealed, along with several new locations (we can't wait to see the Kaiju Megadome). Activision is adamant that Guitar Hero III is still a contender in the face of Rock Band. With impressive songs like these, as well as the ones we already know, they might be right.
