Activision has secured the rights to Hendrix master tracks for Guitar Hero: World Tour, along with the Eagles and Van Halen.

According to Gamespot, Activision has secured what might be the ultimate Guitar Hero score – it’s secured the right to a number of Hendrix master tracks for the forthcoming Guitar Hero: World Tour.

The first two cuts – “Purple Haze” and “Wind Cries Mary” will be made available for download after the game’s launch. The only time Hendrix has appeared in the game before was an instrumental cover of “Spanish Castle Magic.” Activision has also secured content from the Eagles and Van Halen.

Activision also announced that World Tour will be compatible not only with existing Guitar Hero instruments, but also those from Rock Band.
