Guitar Hero and Aerosmith Team Up
Quick! Everyone pretend you’re not a hack!
Guitar Hero maker Activision loves money, so they are going to suck every last drop of blood out the series by releasing four Guitar Hero games this year. The first of these games will focus entirely on the geriatric band Aerosmith. That’s right, the band that just won’t die but hasn’t had a relevant hit in 5-10 years is getting their very own Guitar Hero title this summer. Steven Tyler is too busy turning into a living mummy and Joe Perry is too preoccupied with crafting a brand of hot sauces sold exclusively on the Internet to care about, you know, making music and all that rubbish so this is the perfect outlet for an Aerosmith fan to remind themselves that Aerosmith used to be an active and touring mediocre rock band.
I certainly hope that when Activision is sifting through the dusty master tracks that surpassed antiquated years ago, that they select “Pink” for inclusion. I need to simulate playing guitar to more songs that are 3 minute paeans to thinly veiled references for vaginas. Because that’s how I like to spend my Saturdays. I’m also looking forward to rocking out and shredding along with “I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing” because that song is not a sincere commentary about what it feels like to be an emasculated wuss.
But I’m sure that everyone will totally want to buy this because, you know… Aerosmith Rules!!!11
