For those of you interested in the upcoming Guitar Hero: Aerosmith, you can ensure your copy will be set aside from Red Octane's official website when the flood of loyal Steven Tyler fans remember to buy it after taking their Alzheimer's medication.
No, we joke. We wouldn't want to offend people with Alzheimer's by insinuating they would want to play a dedicated Aerosmith Guitar Hero game, which actually also features artists that inspired and are inspired by the band.
Set to hit stores this June, Guitar Hero: Aerosmith brings GH fans closer to a band that is known for their ... vocals. Wait, we still don't get it. OK, Aerosmith is cool enough but their staple band member is the singer not the guitarist. In fact we don't even know who the guitarist is but we assume he's the guy holding the guitar in the header above. Else, that could be a roadie doing some sound tests. Wait, I think Neversoft just trademarked Guitar Hero: Sound Test. Sorry readers, our bad.
Note: To clarify, this was written in jest. I know who Joe Perry is guys. ToJo is awesome, we're poking fun.

Well, one of the bands that has influenced Aerosmith is the Beatles. Maybe they'll be in there. :P But probably not.

What the hell is this story. After reading I can only come to the conclusion that someone left their home computer plugged in and their little brother decided it would be fun to make a post.

umm seriously? Joe Perry isn't familiar to the writer? I'm either missing out on the joke or this website is showing it's (young) age.

If the Guitar Hero franchise were a band I'd say that they officially sold out; it started with all the in-game advertising in III. I have no interest in this whatsoever, and I am a HUGE fan of the Guitar Hero series. This really disappoints me.

I'd be willing to buy a band-specific Guitar Hero game.
Just not Aerosmith.

I have a feeling this will collect dust on the shelf. Maybe this will be in the bargain bin with some Barbie game by Xmas time.

I was at Best buy today and there was an ad for this game. More or less it said there would be famous Aerosmith songs as well as their favorite songs in this game. I don't know if this had been discussed or known.

Do you think someone at Activision raised the question that by doing an Aerosmith game that they'd be limiting their audience? I'm not trying to bash Aerosmith, but the cool thing about GH3 was I could play ZZ Top one minute & then be doing RATM & Bloc Party the next. I would've been sold on a GH: Hair Bands Edition, but I don't feel its worth the 60 McDunes...unless Liv Tyler dances in scantily clad outfits. Is she still hot?? I haven't seen her since Armeggedon.

Wow, this is really happening. Thats gay.
Aerosmith is sweet but this idea is dumb and is only further going to send GH fans flocking to ROCK BAND by the truck loads.
Neversoft, you really have made a big mess out of something that used to be great.

Wow I'll have to put this right next to my collection of awsomeness including the only ever sold dvd of "Gigli". Seriously...like seriously. Isn't Guitar hero suposed to be cornering the market for young male gaming interest? Why not release Guitar Hero: Elvis and beach boys so my mom can have a perfect collection? Think I'll save myself the $50 and have a baby wail in my ear while i play guitar hero on mute.
