How you Remind Me of Guitar Hero III
Some real conflicting emotions coming out of theRock BandDLC this week. “The Devil Went Down to Georgia” is being added to theRock Bandlibrary. That’s the bad news. However, it’s performed by Nickelback. That’s its saving grace.
Wait, I’m being informed that I’ve severely mixed those two things up.
Apparently Nickelback covered “The Devil Went Down to Georgia” a few months ago, and now it’s aRock Bandtrack. It’s a song that’s etched in rhythm game history as made famous by the Steve Ouimette speed metal cover as the final boss battle inGuitar Hero III.
But, alas, this is not the Steve Ouimette version — and who even knows what the rights are like for that because Activision publishedGuitar Hero IIIand quite possibly owns the song — and it’s not even the Charlie Daniels version (who has major beef with the canonical representation of his song).It’s the Nickelback version. At least it doesn’t sound like “Photograph.”
We don’t report onRock BandDLC super often anymore, but we’ll make an exception for a legendaryGuitar Herotrack as performed by Everyone’s Favorite Canadian Rock Band. What an unexpected whiplash of events.
