New Guitar Hero 3 DLC Packs Deftones and Thrice; Free Dropkick Murphys Songs in Mid-March

I like free songs almost as much as I like the Dropkick's. : )

I think that the next GH games should have backward compatability with DLC from previous versions. Make all DLC work with ALL future releases of GH. And pump them out a bit faster.

UPDATE

Purchased!

EXPERT MENZ:

Deftones "Hole in the Earth": Predictably the most enjoyable song in this pack, it is also the easiest. I don't mean easy in a bad way, however, as it's ease is due to it being melodic and keep a brisk pace, but never throttling you. The note chart is spot on and actually quite enjoyable. While it won't challenge you, you won't be bored with it either, as it is a quality offering, probably amongst the best so far for GH3.

First Runthrough Score: 5 Stars, 99%, 267,648 points

Avenged Sevenfold "Almost Easy": The original song itself pales to the much better "Beast and the Harlot" from GH2, but the note chart is actually pretty decent. I had more fun than I thought with this song, despite me not really liking the source material. It will give your fingers a workout, much like your mom after her second glass of wine, and overall, not a bad addition. This suprised me.

First Runthrough Score: 4 Stars, 91 %, 191,345 points

Thrice "The Arsonist": Not too familiar with the song or band, but it's not that bad, but it's not great either. I probably like the song itself better than the Avenged Sevenfold song, but the note chart is a little more scatterbrained. I didn't mind it, but it may be one of those songs that people don't like because they can't keep up with the seemingly random note changes and three note finger switching. It's not anywhere near as hard as a tier 8 song though, and would probably fit in at about tier 6-7.

First Runthrough Score: 4 stars, 94%, 185,549 points.

OVERALL Worth downloading, even if the only good song was the Deftones' entry. Luckily, despite themselves, the other 2 songs are actually pretty fun, despite how you may feel about the source material. For Expert Players, Enough to keep you busy, but won't get you past Lou if you are still stuck and trying to get better. The Velvet Revolver Pack and the Pack that had Mastodon are a bit tougher, if you are in it just for the challenge.

DEFTONES = OH FUCK YES

Not my first pick of a song, but "Hole in the Earth" has enough variety to be fun, and it has a lot of heavy moments to offset the softer moments.

Hopefully this brings us some "Engine No. 9", "Feitciera", "Korea", "My Own Summer", and a little "When Girls Telephone Boys"...

They're really spoiling us with this constant flow of GH3 content!

Cool to get some Deftones in there.. but it seems like there are some better more obvious choices... "My Own Summer (Shove It)" being one.

aww. i want free dropkick murphys in rock band :(

As the "Modern Metal" songs were the ones that I always failed on, I will skip this grimly.

Oh shit! I want Deftones on Rock Band please!!!

What the hell is with the Deftones selection? Need more Adrenaline.
