Do you think that the upcoming Guitar Hero: Aerosmith will feature only songs from the classic rock group? It makes sense, but rumor is suggesting that they may be joined by a few others. The pre-order page for the game at Best Buy’s website says you’ll be able “jam to many of Aerosmith’s greatest hits, as well as songs by other popular artists that the band has performed with or been inspired by in some way” Besides that, an article in USA Today mentions that “some opening acts will appear in the game, as well as some special guests.” All this seems to suggest that the game may include tracks from bands that Aerosmith has played with in the past (*cough* Run DMC *cough*) or just happens to appreciate. Nothing official has been announced yet, but I doubt Activision would really put all its eggs in one basket with this one. Hopefully we’ll find out more as the game’s June release date gets closer.
I don’t really know how I feel about this game yet. The sheer variety of songs has been my favorite thing about past Guitar Hero games, as well as RockBand; so toning that down doesn’t sound very appealing. Plus, in all of those titles, Aerosmith represents a virtual brick wall to me. Sure, Metallica and Slayer give me some trouble, but I’ll be damned if I can pull of an Aerosmith song with more than a bare minimum score. Curse you, Steve Perry, and your awesome skills!
one thing is for sure
DLC? I think not.
It’s Joe Perry. Steve Perry was in Journey.

Jonathan just got Pwned……do I owe money to Finland now……
Yeah, you owe Finland a dollar.
I’m hoping that last bit about passing an aerosmith song is sarcasm
I mean, I’m almost 99% sure it is, but I don’t listen to any of their music so I can’t be 100% sure XD
Either way, Jonathan got the “awesome skills” part right.
Proberly include some Guns N’ Roses or Velvet Revolver since they Slash N’ Joe are such good mates.
