Yea read right. Microsoft, Activsion, Bungie and Neversoft have joined forces to have the Halo theme music made available as a playable track for Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock.

The Halo theme was written, composed, and performed by Martin O'Donnell and Michael Salvatori; and the MJOLNIR Mix features guitars performed by the Grammy Award winning guitar hero, Steve Vai.

"It's a real pleasure to hear one of the best loved and most iconic themes from Bungie's Halo Universe in Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock," said Marty O'Donnell, Composer and Audio Director for Bungie Studios. "As longtime fans of the Guitar Hero franchise, it was great to collaborate with Neversoft and Activision/RedOctane to offer this exciting free download to our fans."

The track will be made as a free download from the Xbox Live Marketplace tomorrow, Friday November 23rd.

soundtrack of the year?

I'm still dirty about the boss battle songs being released as downloadable extras instead of being available in the original game. rude I tell you!

the boss battles were free too, quit your bitching

though halo is pretty gay, the theme is actually decent. also 1 song does not a soundtrack make.
