First, I'm sorry for the poor english translation, the original article was on a Portuguese website.

Second, I dunno about how reliable is their source, or if it's just wishful thinking. But anyways, feel free to delete the thread if it's just bogus.


Guitar Hero Aerosmith special edition

Next June will be released a new edition of the popular guitar simulation game, this time exclusive dedicated to Steven Tyler's charismatic band.

It's gonna be called Guitar Hero: Aerosmith and it put the gamer to play the classic tracks played by guitarists Joe Perry, Brad Whitford and bass player Tom Hamilton.

Rumors says there is another Guitar Hero versions soon to be released for Guns N' Roses and Metallica.

Hope this is true. With Aerosmith and GN'R my two most favorite bands of all time (with Metallica, Faith No More and Pink Floyd rounding out my top five) this will be a great treat!

if there ever is one with GNR I'd hope it would be after CD though

[Voodoochild]

Before Guitar Hero 3 there was a rumor floating around about having a new GNR song in the game. Maybe it would be a great way to promote the first single and the new album.

I just think it would be way too cool to be able to play Better, TWAT and other new songs too, but if it's just about the old songs I would be glad enough if they could put Locomotive and Rocket Queen.

I would think Axl would need to sign off on that, and that's the only way I think he'd do it . . .   But what to I know?!?!?!

Sure hope it's true though!

[ppbebe]

new songs or not, me too would love to see Robin. 

[stinkfist]

That would be great to see that game dedicated to GNR.   Not sure how that would work based on the way it looks like the Aerosmith one is being done.  What you do? Be able to pick between the old band and new band?   

[Voodoochild]

Well, I guess it would be only about the new band, if they are indeed doing it to promote new songs.

[slashisvr]

Maybe they are workin close with the record company, and it is one of the ways to promote the album 

[younggunner]

thats awesome...i pitched this idea to Beta awhile ago.Im sure this has been in the works before that(if its even true) but I have always thought bands should use Guitar Hero as a means of promotion.


....I have a few ideas but I would really like to tell you about one of them and see what you think about it.

One way in which the band can promote CD is by being the first band to have its complete album on Guitar Hero and or Rock Band. All kids today do is play video games. Why not partner up with Guitar Hero and or Rock band and have them make the game for Chinese Democracy?

The game would be like it is now but  the songs would only consist of whats on the album and maybe a bonus or 2.(all that can be worked out)

I think its a descent idea. It would be another form of revenue for the band and or the label. It would also introduce this type of promotion to the market. ...

[stinkfist]

Youngunner - I totally agree.  If you look at ITUNES, etc.  There top selling songs are from Rock Band and GH Series.

by the sound of it the rumour doesn't really hint a promotion of a new album tho. 

[LawsonsLaw007]

that would be fun

Peace

[Ulises]

It would be absouletely fuckin' awesome!

[Eclipsed107]

As awesome as it would be I can't see it being true.

Steven Tyler and Joe Perry have worked close with Activevision to get this thing off the ground, and in the game you're going to assume the roles of the Aerosmith guys and rock from when they were a small shit band no one knew about to the band they are today.

As cool as a Gn'R Guitar Hero would be, I don't think anyone would work with Activevision to get it rolling.  I mean, Slash would, but could they do it without Axl's consent?  Even if you could get Axl involved (which I'm sure wouldn't be that hard) would Axl want it to be based the old Gn'R?  No way, he'd want it to be the new Gn'R.  Would Activevision put out a Guitar Hero based on the new Gn'R?  Probably not, they'd want the old Gn'R. 

Maybe they can just go ahead and do it anyway, but I doubt that they can.  It'd be awesome, but I think that's the only way we'd get to see it done, if they based it on the old band and were able to do it without Axl's consent.

Or base it on greatest hits and have unlockable characters from both old and new GN'R with a bunch of fictional characters (like other versions of the game) with a bunch of songs that inspire GN'R God knows there are plenty.

I don't think Axl wants to deny the past existed, he just wants people to accept that it's over.

[plasmabeam]

Since GN'R and videogames consume my life, I'd easily sign off on this. I'd love to play Pretty Tied Up and Nightrain, and hopefully they could fill the game with a ton of fan service.

i hope it only focuses on guys who are actually in the band now as opposed to people who abandoned the band and left it.    this lineup needs more exposure and giving them a guitar hero game could be a great way to introduce GnR to a new generation.   including ex-members only confuses things and leads people not in the know to believe things that aren't true.

they might just end up putting in the old band if they decided to really make a GNR GH game. id love to see the current members but i dont see that happening.

[gnrjanus]

It won't happen.
not realistic,

they will not give away new songs to games, adds, or whatever.
the harley thing was to fast. they won't pull of another harley and see a new song float on the internet.


Let the boys focus on the stuff that they are working on now.

let them anounce the big statement this summer (june/july)
let them tour, september/march.
