No, the battle with slash is an original recording by Slash. We're just guessing Slither is going to be DLC.

message: Anyone knows if there will be some kind of reward if beating the bonus tracks?? I mean, in GH II (I have the 360 version) there wasn't any kind of reward for playing the bonus tracks. No money, no characters, no scenarios...
It would be a good addition to GH III to give us some kind of 'present' after beating the bonus tracks in each difficulty. Or money, anyways.
There isn't nothing in GH II that makes me play the bonus tracks again (although I play them because I like 'em), and this should be the solution.
Take a look at the XBOX360 achievements... there is nothing that hints at anything extra special.  Play for your enjoyment.

thread_title:  PS2 Guitar 

message: This should be mentioned, as a good number of 360 and PS2 bundles have the wired controllers that were featured in GH2.  With the pre-release confusion whether or not 360 was going to ship with a wireless controller or not, many customers assumed that a wireless guitar was not released on the launch date.  The walmart package does clearly state that there is a wired controller in the box, however it does not indicate there is a wired option available.  
Only people who are absolutely in-the-know will be aware that multiple packaging exists.  Very shady.
Note that the wired units are Wal-Mart exclusives and that the wireless are online only (same link). This should be reflected in the article, as I don't think there were any official announcement about wired controllers. Socby19 03:49, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Ask again because Circuit City and Best Buy have them in-stock in the brick and mortar stores. Note that I listed that Wal-Mart wireless controllers are online only, and wired are "Walmart exclusives" meaning that they are only getting them. Which, in turn, would certainly hurt WM sales. If wireless guitars weren't scheduled to hit shelves until February, Activision would have pushed the date back. The fact that you're in Canada may have something to do with it.

thread_title:  Playing with a pick not possible in GH3? 

message: Methinks it might be worth a mention that the XBox 360 version of the game was updated to include a co-op mode in the standard multiplayer menu on the day of the game's release. Not sure if the PS3 version has the same update. My friend who owns the PS2 version was remarking about the absense of a quick play co-op mode, complaining that you essentially had to use the co-op career mode to play cooperatively. I went home to double check on my 360 version and found there was a co-op option under the multiplayer menu.
Upon watching a GameSpot video review, they mentioned that the feature was added the day of the launch via update (though I don't remember running an update for the game... though it could've been someone else in my house). Just figured I'd see if it was worth a mention in the article somewhere.
EDIT: Found a link about it from the 1Up site: <I>http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3164008</I> I'm guessing not a valid referrence per se, but just to clear up what I'm talking about.

text: The technical issue is in discussion above, in that it's an issue with the strum detection in the software. It's supposedly a difference in the way the program recognizes the rest point of the strum bar over previous version of GH. There is no verifiable source noted at this point, so if your question had been, "Does this belong in the article," I would've said no. I can't imagine it'll be there for long, honestly. -Louis
