Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock, is set to be all about just that - legends of Rock, with a number of high-profile rockers set to take centre stage as bosses in the new rhythm-action game. Guns N' Roses' Slash has already been confirmed for the game, as has Poison's Bret Michaels.

We today learn that former Against the Machine guitarist Tom Morello will also make it into the game. Morello confirmed his inclusion to Rolling Stone magazine: "Whenever I play Guitar Hero, my opponent always kicks my ass on my own riffs...Now that I'm actually in the game, I hope the digital me will win once in a while!"

RedOctane promise to reveal the track(s) that Morello will be involved in soon. In other news, the publisher has also confirmed a new pre-order for the title - the Elite bundle - which includes the game, a wireless Les Paul guitar, a custom faceplate, t-shirt, strap, keychain and sticker pack.

More on soon.
