One of my Orlando friends (who I managed to "hook" on Guitar Hero ... and him and his little boy now play together) said his son has been bugging him about buying the "Guitar Hero Aerosmith" set to go on sale this weekend.

I want this one for the Wii!  I love love love Aerosmith!  Had the chance to interview them about 5 years ago.  What a cool, witty, business-minded bunch!  They definitely understand "working the media" for publicity - that's probably why they've lasted in such a tough biz for so long.

Do you love Guitar Hero?  Will you get the Aerosmith version?  What about Rock Band?  What other bands would you like to see them collarborate with?

Never played Guitar Hero, I can barely play the regular guitar. ;-)
When I think of Guitar hero I think of that SOUTH PARK episode where the boy drew a large crowd and he wasnt even plugged into the game, he was that good. He even carried it on his back like Bon Jovi or something. If you have not seen it I recomend you do, very funny.
Do they have SLASH as one of those heros, he is one of the top 5 guitar players in the world.
ROCK ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I did see that episode ... ironically enough ... right after one of my friends got me hooked on the darn game - i went out and bought it a week later. A group of friends played that night and then I went home and happened to turn over to south park to see that episode! Good stuff!

They do have a Slash character in one of the Guitar Hero's ... it may be on #3 ... I have #2. He is pretty fabulous! Plenty of memorable guitar riffs from him! One is a ring tone for me!

I love SLASH along with the guy from QUEEN, with the big hair, Keith Richards, and Jimmy Hendrix, JIMMY!!!!!!!!!

I would like to see them make a version for each of the well known bands. Maybe not cost effective to do it by selling each one in stores, but sell it via mail-order or even by downloading the versions. Not these 3-song things but a whole 6-7 set version.

By the way, little Chris has entered into the hard level already.

Here in Orlando we miss you, especially in our version of Rockband, we used to rock that game.

Ok, so I stopped off midnight at Wal-MArt to get a gallon of milk and wandered to the back toward electronics and saw them bringing out boxes, and behold, it being midnight it was Guitar Hero Aerosmith. So of course I got one. Unfortunately Sunday morning I woke up with a vicious sore throat and fever, so did'nt get to play it myself though my son Chris of course was all over it. My first impressions? Actually not too impressed. Overall the screens have this dull pink color to it that makes it seems liek colors are missing. The likeness of the band memebers too doe snto look too good. Then again I have the PS2 version, maybe XBox and others look better.

To the core of it, the songs. Now I'll probably get flamed for this cause Aerosmith is an American insitution, but as far as 'guitar' songs, their material was never too good. I mean they have about 5-6 great songs but a lot of the songs on here are just dull. Of course I'll have to play it for myself when I feel better

Okay, you guys are going to SHOOT me on this one.

How about the hit band CHICAGO??

Not going to shoot you. Chicago is a well respected band, but not much of a guitar oriented band to warrant their own version. But I sure would love to see them include 25 or 6 to 4 as a song on the next version.

My husband owns Rockband and Guitar Hero for XBox 360. He's had a difficult time trying to beat Slash. My severely impaired child loves to watch his dad play. He does his version of dancing. Funny thing is that he heard one of the songs played on Guitar Hero at Best Buy and he started dancing, and I had to look around and listen, and sure enough, it was Surrender by Cheap Trick, and I was excited; we had re-sold that Guitar Hero version when the next one came out.

Elizabeth: She is in good hands. I know how much someone you are used to seeing every day is missed. Texans have big hearts (for the most part--LOL).

Would love a picture of Kristi rocking out to Guitar Hero -- did anybody catch the David Cook/David Archuleta commercials for the game? I was screaming for David Cook; David Archuleta I just wanted him to cover up since he is so young.

Oh Kristi -- Ask Lanny -- he says my son Patrick is the "most popular kid" on the Fox 26 blogs. Isn't that sweet?

Sybbie... i wouldn't mind Chicago ... but they'd have to add some keyboards!!! Ooooo ... new instrument to learn - i bet that'd be hard!

Liz - my old co-anchor from Orlando - I miss you guys too!!!

Yes, PB Mom, there are guitar hero/rock band pics of me singing and playing guitar (i'm not good on drums - it's the darn footpeddle)!!!

Lovestinks - I bet you just "happened" to be at Walmart at midnight?!!! Hmmm - sounds fishy to me! I'm disappointed that you're disappointed in Aerosmith! There will be more bands coming out oon this platform!!! Stay tuned!

Who would you like to see/play? Would keyboards be fun? What are good keyboard rock songs?
