Guitar Hero Metallica - Featuring Lemmy from Motorhead !
Being a real life Guitar Hero
you might, quite reasonably, assume that I’d have no time for computerized trickery and plastic guitars.
Au contraire, mon frère
Having had a couple of ill-fated goes on XBox 360 and Wii (I think that’s right) I was left with two, no scratch that 3 thoughts.
-
1: If kids practised with real guitars for as long they could be real players !
2: How can you play the real thing for 30 years then get booed off the stage ?
3: Who comes up with the choice of songs and bands ?

Number 3 was the most confusing, who picks the songs and bands - mystery to me as they were mostly crap and far from examples of dazzling fretwork.
Anyway they seem to be moving in the right direction.
March 29 sees the release of the latest Guitar Hero - a Metallica version - excellent.
As if that wasn’t enough the band announced a special guest and somebody they hail as one of the biggest influences on Metallica and their music.
Lemmy from Motorhead, Bass Player, Lead Singer, Rock God and One of the Greatest Living Englishmen !
The band also allude to another surprise guest - so watch this space
The great man himself had this to say on Metallica’s website
It’s great to be in Guitar Hero with all these famous people and I’m really pleased to be in it with Metallica … but James is still taller than me.
On a side note the UK 2009 Tour will feature non other than old allies Girlschool as support - not sure if they are at all the venues so check local details - remember HeadGirl and Please Don’t Touch ?
Does this mean I need to buy one of these machines, if so how much are they and how much will this latest game cost ?
Let’s Rock \m/
