Guitar Hero III to Feature Tom Morello as Boss

Rage Against the Machine and Audioslave guitarist Tom Morello will appear as a boss character in Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock, joining the previously announced Slash from Guns N' Roses and Velvet Revolver. Rumored earlier in the week by a German brochure (reportedly from publisher Activision), Morello's appearance was confirmed today via a Rolling Stone blog post, in which the guitarist admitted that his real-life skills don't necessarily carry over when he plays the game.

Don't know for sure if I would still get this game with Rock Band coming up...

I originally thought the same thing, but despite the gimmicks that were added to this game (The multi-player attacks, and adding a storyline). There are some solid songs in this game. I mean Dragon Force for crying out loud! Not to mention over 70 songs. They even claim the bonus songs are flooded with widely known artists, because they couldn't fit the content into the campaign mode.

But then again this "next-gen" has a lot of top end games to purchase, and adding another one to the list is never that easy.

Never heard of the guy. Slash is overrated. How about Jimmy Page as a boss? Joe Satriani? Eddie Van Halen? George Lynch? Why are they using these scrubs?

they need Stevie Ray Vaghn. Then bring on Jimmy Hendrix and Brian Setzer.

I love Rage Against the Machine's first album (minus the profanity and liberalism). Tom Morello has the coolest riffs on that album. The songs are put together really well. A lot of emotion.

Guitar Hero? Sure. Activision greed and bulls**t? No thanks.

subtenko2476d ago

No we DONT need guitar hero or rockband. These games have had 7+titles each console cycle and Im tired of these being the mainstream and practically only focused on musical game.

Amplitude was brought back for PS4 yet with the tech and magic of DLC we didnt get it because not only gamers but devs have become out of touch.

Thumper impressed many and is at least a step in the right direction. I rather have more games like thumper. So screw all this rockband and Guitar hero BS! Take your guitars and peripherals and break them in half!
