Guitar Hero's(R) Catalog to Keep on Rockin' With New Music From the Pixies, Motorhead, Silversun Pickups, Steely Dan and Nirvana

Two Brand-New Silversun Pickups Tracks to Debut Exclusively in Guitar Hero® World Tour

Fifteen New Songs in April Add to the Massive Guitar Hero World Tour Set List

SANTA MONICA, Calif., March 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- In April, gamers will have no shortage of new songs to rock out to on Activision Publishing, Inc.'s (Nasdaq: ATVI - News) Guitar Hero® World Tour with downloadable music from five distinctive rock bands. The Pixies make their Guitar Hero® debut; returning veterans Silversun Pickups will release two brand-new songs off their sophomore album, prior to its release; Nirvana returns for a downloadable encore with three additional hits; while Motorhead and Steely Dan, each with singles featured on Guitar Hero World Tour's on-disc set list, make a resounding return.

On April 2nd, fans will be introduced to The Pixies' alternative rock music for the first time ever in a Guitar Hero game. Virtual musicians will experience two singles from The Pixies' second album, Doolittle, with "Debaser" and the highly successful "Monkey Gone to Heaven," along with "The Sad Punk" from Trompe le Monde, their fourth and final full-length studio album.

Gamers will be able to get an exclusive taste of Silversun Pickups' new music before their release of their second album, Swoon, on April 14 with "Panic Switch" and "It's Nice to Know You Work Alone." "Well Thought Out Twinkles" from their breakthrough album, Carnavas, will round out the Track Pack, available on April 9th.

Returning to Guitar Hero World Tour on April 16th is the popular rock band from the 70's, Steely Dan. This time around, the band will contribute one single each from three of their albums - "Black Friday" from Katy Lied, "Kid Charlemagne" from The Royal Scam and "Bodhisattva" from Countdown to Ecstasy.

For download on April 23rd, British hard rock band, Motorhead, re-recorded new versions of "Jailbait," "Love Me Like a Reptile," and "Iron Fist" for Guitar Hero World Tour.

With their second downloadable Track Pack, Kurt Cobain, Krist Novoselic and Dave Grohl of Nirvana will be returning to Guitar Hero World Tour on April 30th with "Very Ape" from In Utero, "Sappy" from the No Alternative compilation and "Stay Away" from their breakthrough, first major label album, Nevermind.

The Track Packs will be available on Xbox LIVE® Marketplace for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft for 440 Microsoft Points and on the PlayStation®Store for the PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system for $5.49. All songs in the Track Packs will be released as downloadable singles for Xbox 360 for 160 Microsoft Points, PLAYSTATION 3 system for $1.99 and Wii(TM) for 200 Wii Points each.

Guitar Hero World Tour transforms music gaming by expanding Guitar Hero's signature guitar gameplay into a cooperative band experience that combines the most advanced wireless controllers with new revolutionary online* and offline gameplay modes including Band Career and 8-player "Battle of the Bands," which allows two full bands to compete head-to-head online. The game features a slick newly redesigned guitar controller, drum kit controller and a wired microphone, as well as an innovative Music Studio music creator that lets players compose, record, edit and share their own rock 'n' roll anthems. Music creators are also able to share their recordings with their friends online through GHTunes(SM) where other gamers can download and play an endless supply of unique creations.

Guitar Hero World Tour is now available for Xbox 360, PLAYSTATION 3 computer entertainment system, the Wii home video game system from Nintendo and the PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system. The game is rated "T" for Teen by the ESRB. For more information on Guitar Hero World Tour, please visit worldtour.guitarhero.com.

Not as good of a month as March with Hendrix and Queen, but I might pick up the Steely Dan pack and possibly Motorhead depending on the charts. A little confused about the Nirvana choices though...

Okay choice of songs, but they can definately have more metal songs. I think they should add some Three Days Grace into the game.

Steely Dan? Uh, Hell yes. My Birthday at the end of the month, so I'll definitely have that.

Steely Dan & Silversun Pickups on the same week. The 9th is our missing week.

Okay, seriously, there's been 2 whole Nirvana DLC's on GH:WT, and not ONE of them included Smells Like Teen Spirit. What the hell Activision? I hate when Rock Band/Guitar Hero has good bands but not their best songs.

Always nice to see the Pixies represented and shown to a new audience, though finance dictates that I'll only think about getting the one that's not already in Rock Band.

Bit of a missed opportunity, I feel, since neither game has 'Where Is My Mind?', yet repeats still seemed like a good idea. *shrug*

You know, when I first read the highlighted text I thought that it said fiancee dictates that I'll only think about getting the one that's not already in Rock Band.

WOMEN DICTATING DLC PURCHASES FTW!
