Some decent downloadable content for Guitar Hero: World Tour is heading our way this month and consists of the very popular and sometimes genius stylings of The Eagles, Nirvana and The Smashing Pumpkins.

It looks like they’ve actually translated the Prince’s signature acrobatics into 2D pretty well. Guess we’ll find out how the whole thing plays in a couple of days.
