Guitar Hero Live doesn't quite have a traditional holiday lineup prepared for GHTV this year, but it does have a very special gift for music enthusiasts. Avenged Sevenfold has been a big part of the lead-up to the release of the game earlier this year, offering up a special premium show. Now the band is returning for a special one-hour block of GHTV programming.

Titled "A7X Rock Classics," Avenged Sevenfold will introduce many of their favorite rock songs of all-time through channel 1 of the streaming GHTV network. In addition to offering up songs to play along to through GHTV, the band will show off exclusive footage of their own performances. Look for songs from bands like Pantera, Tenacious D, Megadeth, Boston, AFI, Bob Dylan, and more throughout the hour-long block.

Here's the full schedule for "A7X Rock Classics," for anyone interested in catching it:

• Tuesday, Dec. 22nd at 5:30pm Pacific (World Premiere)
• Wednesday, Dec. 23rd at 1:30am, 9:30am and 6:00pm Pacific
• Thursday, Dec. 24th at 2:00am, 10:00am and 8:30pm Pacific
• Friday, Dec. 25th at 4:30am, 12:30pm, 5:30pm and 9:30pm Pacific

Ozzie has been playing video games since picking up his first NES controller at age 5. He has been into games ever since, only briefly stepping away during his college years. But he was pulled back in after spending years in QA circles for both THQ and Activision, mostly spending time helping to push forward the Guitar Hero series at its peak. Ozzie has become a big fan of platformers, puzzle games, shooters, and RPGs, just to name a few genres, but he’s also a huge sucker for anything with a good, compelling narrative behind it. Because what are video games if you can't enjoy a good story with a fresh Cherry Coke?
