Don't be "Paranoid" - Aspyr didn't "Sabotage" GH3

The majority of Guitar Hero III's songs are from the original recordings of the honest-to-demigod artists themselves. Previous Guitar Hero games have provided adequate doppelgangers, but when you actually get to bust out a Rage Against the Machine song by Rage themselves, there's nothing like it. The same goes for Weezer, Tenacious D, Beastie Boys, Smashing Pumpkins... the list is near-endless. It's another step in air-guitar fantasy fulfillment.

Hiccups come when some songs (the Killers) feature 15-second bursts where you don't play. A few covers don't do the originals justice: The Dead Kennedys singer is no Jello Biafra. As far as song selection goes, it really feels like the game starts with the duds early (seriously, "Hit Me With Your Best Shot?"), making you work for the good stuff.
