Aly and AJ Design Guitar Hero and Rock Band Guitars

GeekSugar — Thu, 25 Sep 2008 11:15:42 -0700

I'm not overly familiar with this female duo, but popular to to the tween generations, teen pop band Aly and AJ, will be coming out with their own guitars for games like Guitar Hero and Rock Band for the Wii and PS2 in a few weeks. Each guitar will cost a cool $70, and fans will be able to choose from Aly's Guitar, which will feature a heart and cross bone print in a pink and brown color, or AJ's pink Guitar that features a purple zebra print and is in the shape of a heart. Performance Designed Products, the makers of the guitars, will create one of the guitars specifically for tweens, ages 8 to 12 while the other will be targeted for teens and older. Wonder if they have one in my size?

Miley Cyrus chatted with Ryan Seacrest on KIIS-FM just the other day. She has traded her blond locks in for something a bit more rock 'n roll and I like it. To go with her new red 'do, she wore a LaRok studded vest and dark skinny jeans. Like a true fashion chameleon, Miley can go from youthful and fun to edgy all in a matter of weeks.

Does anything scream "single and ready to mingle!" more than Teenar, the Girl Guitar? It looks as though Sideshow Bob pictured above (otherwise known as Lou Reimuller) combined two of his favorite fetishes to invent Teenar. He took a vintage department store mannequin (that he "happened" to have on hand) and converted her into a fully-powered electric guitar. Why play tunes for a lady, when one can just play a lady? Classy.

Screw "Fraggle Rock"--this kid wants his heavy metal! So here he is rockin' out to System Of A Down. He seems to be having a good time. Either that, or his diaper's in need of a quick change. You decide.

WTF?!

Peep the New Guitar For Guitar Hero 5

GeekSugar — Tue, 14 Jul 2009 14:03:11 -0700

If you were waiting patiently for more details on the latest installment of Guitar Hero, Guitar Hero 5, then let me offer you this peek of the franchise's latest peripheral: the new guitar.

Shiny and pretty, is it not? The main changes are to the slider, which instead of analogue signals, now sends digital signals. Apparently that will lessen "the chance for error and latency," says a Neversoft exec.

Are you looking forward to GH5? I am, and until its release, I'll stick Guitar Hero on the wall.

The Guitar Hero Wall Decal Is Ready to Rock

Oh, Guitar Hero, no matter how much more I focus on Rock Band these days, you are still my hero.

Therefore, I need to get my button-strumming hands on this Guitar Hero Wall Decal ($18).

It's just too apropos for me- though where to put it? Maybe in a kitchen, like the picture. Wouldn't it go perfectly in a home like this?

Miis Sneak Their Way Into Guitar Hero World Tour

If you don't think you'll be able to break away from Guitar Hero long enough to check out Wii Music this October, but like the idea of seeing your Mii rock out on guitar then you, my friend, are in luck. The Wii version of the upcoming Guitar Hero World Tour will have a special game exclusive to Wii players called "Mii Freestyle" that lets you jam with a friend, and see your Mii playing along on screen.

Similar to the game's Music Studio mode, Mii Freestyle lets you pick and choose the notes you play (hence the whole freestyle concept), and you can even jam with the Nunchuck and Wiimote air-guitar style. Yes, you heard me, air guitar. I better get my game face on, stat!

Remember back in May, when David Archuleta and David Cook of American Idol rocked out in their tighty-whities to Old Time Rock N' Roll for Guitar Hero? Well Activision Publishing is back in full force with their latest installment of their "Risky Business"-inspired Guitar Hero ads; a new commercial for Guitar Hero World Tour, which hits stores today. Directed by Brett Ratner, the commercial features big sports stars jamming - like Kobe Bryant (on the mic), Tony Hawk (on the drums) and Michael Phelps and Alex Rodriguez (on the guitar). A must see indeed!
