Hear GHIII's final track: "The Devil Went Down to Georgia"

After finishing "Free Bird" in Guitar Hero II, you may have thought that it could never be topped as a "final" song. Oh sure, a more difficult song, but not a more fitting song. Allow us to present to you the final track of Guitar Hero III then: "The Devil Went Down to Georgia." The Charlie Daniels Band classic has been revitalized for the game, replacing its fiddle (don't you dare call it a violin) with, well, a guitar. The guitar is played by Steve Ouimette, who is apparently better than the Devil himself. Don't take our word for it, though. Give it a listen and judge for yourself.

Check out the up to date track list for Guitar Hero III after the break.

1. This BAD remake of a great song, such a shame..........

2. Im really good at GH II and completed the whole game on expert with five stars. This song sounds a little too hard. i mean, its almost like Jordan. The one song i could never play on expert. idk. heres hoping its not "that" hard.

3. agreed with the first two comments.......i played the gh3 demo and it was fun, it just felt kinda weird, i dont know, i hope this game is good, but i feel like i am leaning more towards rock band for the song selection....

Posted at 5:25PM on Oct 19th 2007 by Paul

4. ehh on second thought who am i kidding.....i just wanna be cheap and use my 360 gh2 guitar and just get both gh3 and rock band but only the games....maybe in the future buy some of the rock band stuff

5. While the song features some great guitar, I can't help but feel like I've died a little inside, listening to a real classic song being butchered and twisted into something so unrecognizable for the sake of a game.

6. Wait, he was here and I missed. Holy Crap!

LOL! "Holy Crap"

7. Sounds fun. They should have "Dueling Banjos" as the co-op final song

Posted at 5:42PM on Oct 19th 2007 by DeadPlasmaCell

8. Squeel like a pig boy!

Posted at 5:48PM on Oct 19th 2007 by acreyman

9. wow. I think I just died a little inside. There had to be a better song to choose.

Posted at 6:12PM on Oct 19th 2007 by Tiggle

10. I also am weary of this remake.

Posted at 7:04PM on Oct 19th 2007 by SenorPepe

11. butchered an amazing song! redoctane can go f*** themselves

Posted at 7:14PM on Oct 19th 2007 by Edzo04

12. Why is it the final song!
Bark at the Moon- Its Ozzy Osbourne!
Freebird- The classic that should have been in the first one.
The Devil Went Down to Georgia- A remake of a country song....

Posted at 7:40PM on Oct 19th 2007 by Tegolin

13. I dont mind this remake. Would you really like to see the devil play a country sounding song? I mean seriously...The Devil is about Fast Guitars, not Fiddles or Banjos. Watch the Pick of Destiny and you will see what I am saying. And the last part sounds Freakin Brutal!!! This deserves to be in my iPod! Where can I download this track?!?!

Posted at 8:45PM on Oct 19th 2007 by Carl

14. Yeah... I don't think so. While I'll be totally amazed watching someone else play this song on expert I'm going to know that for every stroke played an angel in heaven dies.

Posted at 9:35PM on Oct 19th 2007 by pkwifi

15. wow someone would have to be on some kind of stimulant to beat that song on expert and I don't mean coffee....

Posted at 9:58PM on Oct 19th 2007 by rockeranimefreak

16. This song fits as the final song because of the storyline of the game, where you battle Lou (Lucifer) in a rock off.

This song will be done in battle mode as well.

17. The devil is cooler on a fiddle. Especially a solid gold fiddle. And especially if that devil is the Robot Devil.

18. i like that cover, and my fingers are bleeding already just listening to that

Posted at 1:26AM on Oct 20th 2007 by Edgar N,

19. I think this remake was pretty good! i loved the original and i believe this one is just as good

Posted at 1:47AM on Oct 20th 2007 by Miguel

20. I think its an awesome cover as far as the music goes, but the rushed singing, and the way his voice sounds, kind of ruin the vocals. I always liked how this song tells an awesome story, but with that guy singing you miss that part completely. Still looking forward to playing it though. . . on expert.
