1 - Forget them...

Try getting other bands like Def Leppard, and The Cars.

I hear enough of Led Zeppelin and AC/DC on the radio, get some more variety in those games.

Hell, Elliot Easton from The Cars aswell as all of the guitarests from Def Leppard (both the present and the former) are underrated.

3 - They tried...

But they would of had to add fourteen more colored buttons on the guitar. Also, they told the developers they could have access to all of the music the band has released, so it wasn't about money.

In guitar hero you can't play the guitar with a Violin bow.. so you can't really feel like you are playing the guitar for led zeppelin. ;)

5 - dont get me wrong, its fun but......

I'm a musician, not a terrific one but I've played a gig or two here and there. Ive also played guitar hero 2 a few times and its a nifty game. How ever I think its getting pretty silly with the kids on you-tube acting like they are rock stars because they can play dragon force 5 stars on expert, or espicially the "classified" section on Harmonix website (its just kind of pathetic).

a game is a game, met to be played for fun, not to try and perfect it because it really doesnt get you anywhere and if most of those kids spent the time they played rock band and sh!t on playing a real instrument or getting to gether in a real band then all the better. Jimmy Page prob thinks " man those kids with interest in rock could be playing an actual guitar..." as a guitarist he probably doesnt want to promote that distraction a real instrument.

5.2 - nope!

slash IS great. he is amazing at phrasing his solos... love it. I'm just saying i understand where Jimmy Page is coming from. I dont think people should freak out if he doesnt want his music on a video game for kids. I also think its fine if an artist wants to put their songs on a game for some of their fans to enjoy. Maybe Page also things if his fans want to play his songs, then let them play it on a real guitar where they can actually aquire a skill and maybe do something with it.

6 - ....oh and consider this

Zeppelin likes to consider themselfs as timeless and probably dont want to be involved in something that is probably a fad. It may not be the most modest oppinion of themselfs but when guitar hero's popularity fades away to a past fad, people will still listen to great music like Led Zeppelin.

I dont know about you If TOOL was on GH2 or 3 I would be pissed. Some of the kids that are really good at these games are already making thier fingers move in a way similar to playing a real guitar. Who knows maybe the games will sprout new musicians.

Besides, it’s been a long time since I rock and rolled. A long, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time…

Completely agree with you Tom. Slash and GNR are overrated. They need to correct their picture. Jimmy Page isn't a "guitar Hero", he's a guitar god.

8 - @ tom even if your source is right

It's still much harder to play the track's perfectly live then it is to play them in a recording studio where you can so take after take.

It's not integrity that makes someone a great musician it's talent and both page and slash have plenty of that.
