October 27, 2008

The Pulse of Radio reports that SMASHING PUMPKINS debuted a new song at a special Guitar Hero launch party in Los Angeles over the weekend. According to the Los Angeles Times, the track is called "As Rome Burns" and features the lyrics: "We are the new gods/same as the old gods/we'll take all your blood/and turn it into mud/as Rome burns/one by one/two by two/together they ride/side by side/into love/together they die/and still they want to weather the tide/as Rome burns." The group also played "G.L.O.W.", the new track featured in the Guitar Hero: World Tour video game. The single marks the first time a band has recorded a new song exclusively for Guitar Hero. Also in the PUMPKINS set were the songs "Tarantula", "Siva", "Speed Kills", "Superchrist", "Sounds of Silence", and a cover of PINK FLOYD's "Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun".

Fan-filmed video footage from the concert can be viewed below.

The PUMPKINS will release a documentary and concert DVD called "If It All Goes Wrong" on November 11.
