What is the subtitle of Guitar Hero III?

The story behind the answer

The subtitle of Guitar Hero III is Legends of Rock. The full title is Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock, marking the third main installment in the rhythm-game series.

Released in 2007, the game was the first Guitar Hero developed by Neversoft rather than Harmonix. Activision and RedOctane distributed it across PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, Wii, and Xbox 360, with Windows and Mac versions also following. Its career mode presents the player as a rising guitarist progressing through increasingly demanding rock venues.

The subtitle is easy to confuse with other entries. Rocks the 80s is the subtitle of a separate 2007 spin-off, Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks the 80s. World Tour is the 2008 main-series game that added a full-band setup with drums and vocals, while Warriors of Rock belongs to a much later 2010 release.

Legends of Rock included 73 songs on the game disc, including career tracks, boss battles, co-op material, and bonus songs. Its boss encounters with Slash and Lou became particularly recognizable features of the campaign.
