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.
