Word on the tubes is that these videos (one above, one past the break) are for the Xbox 360 version of the game, but they still exhibit some of the changes the franchise has received and showcase two of the new confirmed songs in Weezer's "My Name is Jonas" and Foghat's "Slow Ride." These changes include a revamped HUD, new chain gauge telling you how many notes you hit in a row and a series of lights replacing the old Star Power meter.

Honestly, I don't think this is 100% real. The first video is "My name is Jonas", by Weezer and it's obviously the original track, not recorded by their guys. While the game looks like its responding to the song, and the player, I wonder if it's a wonderful edited video. On the other hand, maybe while the guys over at guitar hero use the original song before recording their own so they can tab the music.
Don't know. Just input.

Neversoft is using the master tracks instead of covers for most of the songs....

That top video, the big neon man in the background made me think... how awesome would it be if a venue was at Burning Man? =p That'd be rad. And the final song in the game was In A Gadda Da Vida o_o the full length version.

omg 'in a gadda da vida' you're reading my mind, that would be awesome and compliment to the games final tracks being wickedly long with awesome guitar solos like 'free bird' in GH2

Thanks for stealing the material! If you notice on joystiq it's via Arrogantics. Digging other's material is by far disrespectful, especially because their previous story was buried. I don't appreciate not linking to the source, but digging their buried material and linking to your sister site over the source is just spitting on the grave

To the top poster, if you read any of the info about GH:III you'd know that "My Name Is Jonas" is one of the songs they got the original masters for. Nice try though.

Guitar Hero is my favorite. Of course the video looks real.

@Jayman yes, it's going to be on the wii. lets just hope they implement the online play to the wii. i wish they'd do cross platform online play. i.e i can play with my friend who has the 360 version. (but they wont, stupid friends codes)
@Aizen yes, the video is lagging. it's freaking youtube for crying out loud. nice try though.

Sure glad they're tinkering with the HUD merely for the sake of showing that they've done something....oh wait, I guess I'm NOT. Seriously, why change some of the graphics...just to show that it's a different version?
For that matter, what's going to be different that we even NEED a new version of GH? GH II only just came out a couple of months ago....and we haven't even gotten the downloadable content that was promised for that. Now they want to try and get me to buy a new version done by another company with a new guitar?

Why are there no Zeppelin songs? They licensed their "Rock and Roll" song to Cadillac to use in a commercial and they also let Jack Black use "Immigrant Song" in "School of Rock."

Omg! So nice! =D
Now just add "Peace sells, but who's buying?" or, preferrably "Holy wars" (both by Megadeth), or, even MORE preferrably, both xD and we got ourselves the best game of whichever decade it is released! O.O
