Are you ready to do your best Jagger? Activision certainly hopes so — a recent press release has revealed the first DLC pack for Guitar Hero 5: A quintet of Rolling Stones tracks. Dropping September 3 (two days after the game hits store shelves), the pack includes live cuts of “Prodigal Son,” “You Gotta Move,” “Under My Thumb,” “I’m Free,” and “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction.” You can bring the whole British Invasion to your console of choice for just 720
($9, 900 Wii Points) or get single songs from the pack for 160 ($2, 200 Wii Points).
Seriously, though. Do your best Jagger. (Video NSFW!)

We’re guessing that of all the tiny plastic instruments you’ve collected in your den, drum sets are still the most uncommon. Therefore, you may be able to scrounge up a smidgen of enthusiasm for the image above, which depicts the drum peripheral that will come bundled with select versions of Guitar Hero 5 when the game launches this September.
This revelation brings up two interesting points — first, RedOctane is viciously taking the wind out of the sails of Logitech, who revealed its own cymbal-equipped drum peripheral yesterday at an unwelcoming price point of $229. Second, it looks like the leaked pictures and list of features we received earlier in the month were legit — and as you surely know, every time a leak is proven legitimate, an angel gets its wings.

Yet another crazy music game fire sale from RedOctane today: For $49.99 on PS2, $59.99 on Wii or $69.99 on PS3 or 360, you can pick up a two-pack of Guitar Hero: Metallica and Guitar Hero: Smash Hits.
As an added bonus, you’ll also get a free Guitar Hero World Tour shirt. Now, you should by no means wear this in public, but if you need to work on your car or play the Super Sloppy Double Dare home game, it’s a nice perk.

DJ Hero might be the cliquish kid sister in Activision’s branching “Hero” family, but it belongs to a really big clique, according to CEO Mike Griffith. “It’s certainly hitting a more mainstream and expanded audience from Guitar Hero,” Griffith said of the spin-off in an interview with GI.biz. As expansive as the Guitar Hero catalog has grown over the years (enough to re-release a disc of “greatest hits“), there’s potential for DJ Hero to reach far beyond, literally mixing in, well, anything.
While Griffith has his sights set on some 300 million Hero-less households, developer FreeStyleGames must be a bit more narrow-minded, lest DJ Hero come out as a cacophonous mashup. As mainstream as turntablists have become, they’re still spinning for a variety of crowds. There’s a difference between a game for everyone and a game with something for everyone. So it’s simple then? All DJ Hero has to be is the greatest mixtape of all time.
