Guitar Hero Continues to Rock the
House as November’s Line-Up of Downloadable Content is Announced
Disk Imports and Forward
Compatibility Bring Even More Content to the Band Hero Party
The Guitar Hero music library
continues to evolve and expand as November brings a great collection of new and
classic tracks from some of rock’s best-loved artists. Fans can download tracks
from artists including Lenny Kravitz and KISS and – for the first time – they
can import tracks directly from Guitar Hero 5 and Band Hero into their Guitar
Hero music library.
On November 5, as a way to
commemorate the release of Band Hero, Guitar Hero music aficionados can import
69 tracks from the highly acclaimed Guitar Hero 5 into Band Hero, or import 61
of Band Hero’s hits directly into Guitar Hero 5. Building the ultimate music set
list is now easier then ever. For a complete listing of forward compatible

Celebrating the 20th anniversary of
his 1989 debut album, Let Love Rule, Lenny Kravitz will be returning to Guitar
Hero on November 12 with a three song track pack that will set players’ fingers
ablaze. The track pack features his debut single “Let Love Rule,” “Lady,” off
his seventh studio album Baptism, and “Fly Away,” one of Lenny Kravitz most
successful songs to date.
Back on the road again this fall to
accompany the launch of their newest studio album Sonic Boom, KISS has decided
to add one additional date to the tour. Look for KISS to headline the Guitar

the KISS fan in everyone. The track pack will feature “Modern Day Delilah,” the
first single off their new album, Sonic Boom, “Lick It Up” the title track on
their similarly named 1983 album, Lick it Up, and “I Was Made for Loving You,”
KISS’s second Gold single.
