Guns N' Roses to release new track via Rock Band II

It's been nine years since Guns N' Roses officially released any new material when the industrial-tinged Oh My God featured on the soundtrack to the Arnold Schwarzenegger flick End Of Days.

Now the once 'Most Dangerous Band In The World' are gearing-up release new track Shackler's Revenge exclusively through upcoming video game Rock Band II, which is expected to hit stores in September.

In related news, Bay Area thrash legends Metallica are set to make material from their upcoming new studio album, Death Magnetic, available for download on Guitar Hero III when it's released in September.

"It's exciting, 27 years into your career, to be doing something first," says Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich. "In five to 10 years it'll be a normal thing to release an album to 'Guitar Hero' the same day as the record."

"Dad's a little cooler than he was yesterday," grins Ulrich. "I now have a 7-year-old whose favourite band is Mountain, and a 9-year-old who's into Black Sabbath and Danzig [thanks to the Guitar Hero series]. It's a great way for kids to be exposed to stuff that transcends generations."

As previously reported on Kerrang! Dot Com, Metallica are to have their own special edition of Guitar Hero released next year.

The game manufacturers have denied that Metallica are going to have their own Guitar Hero game, you wanker.

Problems...

1) Rock Band 2 is way inferiar to its rival Guitar Hero 4.
2) GnR are over - face it people.
3) Why are people arguing over over bands? Iron Maiden wrote imense songs!

i agree with like everybody here when they say GnR are over and axl rose is a wanker and i couldnt give a flying fuck what they are doing now.

GnR

Axl may be a twat. and the original GnR may be over. but the new GnR are just as good. the musicians Axl has used are equally as good as Slash or Duff. The fact is people dont like Axl, and dont like the idea of this new GnR, and people have waited to long for the new album to care anmore. but that doesnt change the fact that the leaked new songs are very good. Chinese Democracy will be released, and it will be critically panned and everyone will hate it. However even if Axl did release the greatest album of all time people would still hate it. Oh My God was a really cool track so i see no reason why this new song wont be good.

ANDYMARK

Andymark just the love attention he get from people because he never got that when he was a baby.
He's rather have negative attention than No attention at all.
Oh well, at least these bands he slags of who are 'shit' have more people who like them as well as earning more money in a week than he has in his entire shitty life, which lets face in, must be shit if he feels the need to come on to site EVERYDAY despite hating kerrang and EVERY band and post about them.
his life must be so shit that even a Ethiopian wouldn't envy it.
