Now this is more like it. March’s offerings for Guitar Hero downloads are a nicely mixed blend of pop-punk, indie rock, ’80s classics, and Flogging friggin’ Molly.
The month starts off on March 4 with some familiar tracks from Blink-182, including two from their huge-selling Enema of the State:
| Blink-182 | Adam’s Song | ![]() |
|
| Blink-182 | All The Small Things | ![]() |
|
| Blink-182 | First Date | ![]() |
The following week, on March 11, we get three from treadmill dancers OK Go, including their breakout hit, “Here it Goes Again”:
| OK Go | Do What You Want | ![]() |
|
| OK Go | Get Over It | ![]() |
|
| OK Go | Here It Goes Again | ![]() |
Here’s where I get excited. On March 18, in celebration of St. Patrick’s Day, the Guitar Hero library gets three tunes from Irish-folk-punk heroes Flogging Molly. The lineup includes two from their most recent album, Float, and one from my favorite album of theirs, Within a Mile of Home. (Unfortunately it’s not the genius title track, but I’ll take it anyway.)
| Flogging Molly | (No More) Paddy’s Lament | ![]() |
|
| Flogging Molly | Requiem For A Dying Song | ![]() |
|
| Flogging Molly | The Seven Deadly Sins | ![]() |
And the month closes out with three classic ’80s tunes, including the Mother of All Power Ballads, “Sister Christian.” (Lot of piano in that one, but the Guitar Hero folks don’t shy away from mapping other instruments to the guitar track.)
| The Go-Go’s | We Got the Beat | ![]() |
|
| Mötley Crüe | Girls, Girls, Girls | ![]() |
|
| Night Ranger | Sister Christian | ![]() |
The songs should hit all systems on their respective Thursdays, and will all run for the usual prices: $5.49, 440 Microsoft Points, or 550 Wii points for each pack, or $1.99, 160 MS, or 200 Wii per track.


Pretty meh…a bunch of RB-rehashes and Flogging Mollies but no Drunken Lullabies (go RBN and RGS!). And still only 3 songs a week. Don’t work too hard over there Activision!
Sister Christian is a score for GH and Girls, Girls, Girls is some nice 80′s hair metal, but otherwise just another half-hearted attempt by GH to play catch up.
