Guitar Hero Live Shred-a-Thon Event Announced

Activision and FreeStyleGames today announced the Guitar Hero Live Shred-a-Thon, a special 5-day marathon that includes the debut of Through the Fire and Flames by Dragonforce. The Shred-a-Thon is live now on a special third channel in GHTV, and runs until Monday, February 8th at 10:00 AM ET.

The Shred-a-Thon playlist includes the following tracks on repeat:

• Dragonforce – Through the Fire and Flames
• Alter Bridge – Cry of Achilles
• Megadeth – Hangar 18
• Lamb of God – Ghost Walking
• Trivium – Strife

Once the marathon concludes, Through the Fire and Flames will be added to the game’s regular song catalogue. Every song in the Shred-a-Thon is also Rival Challenge-enabled, which means players have the option of competing against matchmade players in a head-to-head battle during each song.

Additionally, fans can tweet the @GuitarHero Twitter account with a screenshot of their Shred-a-Thon scores for a chance to win in-game prizes, including an exclusive marathon Player Card and song play tokens, as well as Gold Guitar Hero Live Controllers, Guitar Hero Live t-shirts and more.
