Slash is featured in a new video game...but for this one you use a real guitar.
We talk to Slash about Band Fuse: Rock Legendshttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YH4RZadWkLUSlash Talks "BandFuse"22 Feb 2012
"You're picking up the guitar and playing along with the real music in BandFuse," smiles Slash. "How fucking cool is that?"
The answer is a resounding, "Really fucking cool."
That simple fact is what drew the legendary guitar-slinger to BandFuse: Rock Legends in the first place. Boasting groundbreaking technology and an extremely user-friendly interface, BandFuse is the ultimate instrument game. Not only can you jam along to your favorite song from real tablature, but you'll be ranked based on how well you're nailing the notes and the little details of the song. As an added bonus, legends like Slash will guide you through the game, giving pieces of advice and encouragement as you progress. BandFuse also features a massive, genre-jumping song list including Coldplay, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Five Finger Death Punch, Maroon 5, and, of course, Slash.
Plus, there are numerous surprises in store for BandFuse when it drops later this year.
After ripping through "Back to Cali" in the game during its unveiling event this past week, Slash sat down for an exclusive interview with ARTISTdirect.com editor in chief Rick Florino about BandFuse. He tells us what makes the game special, the best piece of advice he ever got as a guitarist, and so much more.
