Alright folks! The Pumpkins are back and they’re bringing their new single exclusively to G.L.O.W. to er...Guitar Hero World Tour. Pity, I was hoping they would go with RB2. Ah well such is life. This marks the first time a band has recorded a new song exclusively for the franchise which will be released afterwards, giving Guitar Hero fans exclusive access to Smashing Pumpkins music before anyone else. The new track, bundled with two other rocking Smashing Pumpkins hits, “1979” and “The Everlasting Gaze,” will be available post-launch of the game as a three-song downloaded content pack.
Additionally, on-disc with the release of Guitar Hero World Tour this autumn, The Smashing Pumpkins’ singer, songwriter and lead guitarist Billy Corgan will appear as an in-game character and will bring with him “Today,” the band’s smash hit from their pivotal and four-times platinum 1993 album Siamese Dream. “Today” is one of the band’s many hits that have defined the alternative music era and continue to resonate on modern rock radio, influencing a whole new generation. Players will be able to experience the unique alternative rocker’s likeness in-game as he sings and shreds on guitar, or play as the revered rock star throughout their vocal and axe careers.
Corgan will also be a playable character. See these are the things that might tip this iteration of the guitar games in their favor. They had a lot of catching up to do and now I think they’re going to try to out do Rock Band in every way. Only time will tell.

I really like the Smashing Pumpkins, but I absolutely hated playing Cherub Rock on Rock Band. I wonder if this song will be any different...
