Since its release two weeks ago, fans of “Guitar Hero Live” have been rocking along to over 200 songs in the GHTV catalog. The first ever playable music video network features an endless playlist of songs that are available 24-7 for players to drop in and out of. Beginning today, Nov 4, 2015, Activision and FreeStyleGames are kicking off their regular updates that will be available to all players who purchased the game entirely free of charge. The already extensive library will continue to grow with plans to expand by an additional 70 songs by the end of the year.
In celebration of all of this, Activision is giving all players of “Guitar Hero Live” unlimited on-demand access to the entire GHTV catalog through the whole weekend, beginning this Friday at 4:00 AM PST.
This week, GHTV kicks off their launch with a new live show, some legendary rock songs, and a collection of classic pop songs to round out the music video selection.
Starting this Friday, three brand new songs from the Black Veil Brides will be added to the rotation of GHTV. “Heart of Fire (Live),” “Fallen Angels (Live),” and “In the End (Live)” were all recorded from performances on the Black Mass Tour in November 2014 at the legendary Wiltern Theatre in Los Angeles. These performances are a part of Black Veil Brides’ first live concert DVD “Alive and Burning” and will all be playable as a part of GHTV network.
Along with these live performances, several new music videos have found their way into the rotation. This includes some staples of both the rock and pop genres. “Monster” by Paramore, “Sugar, We’re Goin Down” by Fall Out Boy, and “First Date” by Blink-182 have already debuted on GHTV. With them comes “Chocolate” by The 1975, “Believer” by American Authors, and “Budapest” by George Ezra.
The fun does not stop there, however! In the coming weeks, fans can expect countless more songs to join the network. Both playable concert footage and music videos from a wide variety of artists will be available from the likes of Judas Priest, Iggy Pop, Bully, Leon Bridges, Biffy Clyro, Weezer, Rival Sons, St. Vincent, Alice in Chains, System of a Down, Bring Me the Horizon, and many more.
Most new music will launch as a part of premium shows before making their way into the regular rotation and on-demand catalog. During that time, players can complete in-game challenges to unlock the chance to play a premium show. After successfully performing a premium show, players have the opportunity to earn in-game prizes such as status and coin boosts, unique player cards, or note highways to show off while playing online. Once the premium show finishes, the songs will then typically be released to the GHTV channels and be available for play using on-demand tokens or passes.
