The Eagles, Nirvana and The Smashing Pumpkins Headed to Guitar Hero: World Tour

Some decent downloadable content for Guitar Hero: World Tour is heading our way this month and consists of the very popular and sometimes genius stylings of The Eagles, Nirvana and The Smashing Pumpkins. These bands are already present on the game disc, but the new content coming from each should give fans or gamers feeling a bit of music fatigue a bit of a relief.

• Tomorrow, December 4, The Smashing Pumpkins will have a three-song track pack available for purchase consisting of the songs “G.L.O.W.”, “1979″, and “Everlasting Gaze”.

• December 11 will see the release of the Nirvana track pack which includes the songs “Silver”, “Negative Creep” and “You Know You’re Right” (awesome song).

• On December 18 The Eagles track pack will feature a tune off of Long Road Out of Eden, their seventh studio album, titled “Frail Grasp on the Big Picture” as well as classic tunes “Life in the Fast Lane” and the fun yet spooky sounding “One of These Nights”. Hopefully “Witchy Woman” will be made available soon because that one is just fun to sing along to, especially when Don Henley does his “wolf howling at the moon” impression. At least that is my interpretation of the “oooohoooo” during the chorus.

Rounding out the downloadable set list for Guitar Hero: World Tour are three FREE Reggae grooves coming December 23. The Reggae Rock Track Pack is comprised of “Jimi” from Slightly Stoopid, “Your Face” from Pepper and from Expendables’ comes “Sacrifice”. These songs will only be available in a track pack, but Wii users will be able to download them individually.

The Eagles, Nirvana and Smashing Pumpkins Track Packs will be available on Xbox Live for 440 Microsoft Points ($5.50) or individually for 160 Microsoft Points ($2.00) and on the PlayStation Store for $5.49 or $1.99 respectively.
