About a month ago we learned that Rush would be one of the featured artists on the next installment of the Guitar Hero music video game - Guitar Hero 5. What we didn't know was the specific song that was to be included. But I can now confirm via an inside source that the track will be the live version of The Spirit of Radio from the Snakes & Arrows Live CD. Guitar Hero 5 will be similar to its predecessor Guitar Hero World Tour in that it is geared towards playing in a four-person band experience, including lead and bass guitar, drums, and vocals - but it will also have some new features. It's due to be released on September 1, 2009 and can be pre-ordered via Amazon at this link.
