* You can download "[[Music/BobSeger Old Time Rock and Roll]]" for ''Guitar Hero: World Tour'' and beyond. It comes with some [[Film/RiskyBusiness customised animations for the lead singer]]. Fun fact is, this very song was used for one of the GHWT TV ads, but did not come packaged with the game. Well, the singer's entrance is exclusively packaged for ''Guitar Hero: World Tour'', But aside from that...

* Complete [[Film/ThisIsSpinalTap "Tonight I'm Gonna Rock You Tonight"]] at the Battle of the Bands/Rat Cellar gig on ''Guitar Hero II'' and [[SpontaneousHumanCombustion your drummer explodes]].
* There's also the Rat Cellar stage in the second game, based on the former Rathskellar club (famous in the 70's and 80's for punk shows) in Boston. Harmonix even snuck in a poster with the old Rathskellar logo on it in the background.
