hottest music based video game before its release on Xbox LIVE Marketplace.
"Music
is such a huge part of skateboarding culture and pairing the Guitar
Hero III: Legends of Rock demo with Tony Hawk's Proving Ground makes
perfect sense," said Dusty Welch, head of publishing at RedOctane.
"We're excited to bring together two highly anticipated games and give
fans their first chance to rock out with the franchise that's taken the
world by storm."
The demo features five tracks set in the Desert Rock Tour venue. Players will be able to rock out to:
- Lay Down (by Priestess)

Both titles are in development by Activision's award-winning studio, Neversoft.
Tony
Hawk's Proving Ground features deeper customization than ever before,
including a Video Editor with full-featured editing tools and visual
effects for creating "epic skate videos," and a fully customizable

ultimate pad. In addition, players will have the freedom to skate from
single player to online seamlessly, as well as the ability to utilize
new gameplay mechanics such as Nail the Manual and Nail the Grab, and
