Yesterday, a certain writer started off a Guitar Hero Live story about Avenged Sevenfold-hosted GHTV shows by noting that the game wouldn't have a traditional holiday lineup prepared this year. Just a day later, this has proven to be erroneous. Guitar Hero Live will indeed have two new Premium Shows lined up to celebrate the holidays this year, featuring some more contemporary holiday-themed songs.

The following Premium Shows are available today and can be played with in-game currency:

Christmas Rocks!

• The Killers - The Cowboys' Christmas Ball
• The Raveonettes - The Christmas Song
• The Darkness - Christmas Time (Don't Let the Bells End)

Rock the Halls

• All Time Low - Merry Christmas, Kiss My Ass
• The Killers - A Great Big Sled (ft. Toni Halliday)
• The Darkness - I Am Santa

It's hard to find good modern Christmas music among a sea of classics on the radio, so those that haven't heard of these songs, consider this a treat.

Ozzie has been playing video games since picking up his first NES controller at age 5. He has been into games ever since, only briefly stepping away during his college years. But he was pulled back in after spending years in QA circles for both THQ and Activision, mostly spending time helping to push forward the Guitar Hero series at its peak. Ozzie has become a big fan of platformers, puzzle games, shooters, and RPGs, just to name a few genres, but he’s also a huge sucker for anything with a good, compelling narrative behind it. Because what are video games if you can't enjoy a good story with a fresh Cherry Coke?
