Deep Purple And Bowie Included In Guitar Hero 5
It seems like you’ve not really made it in rock these days until you’re fans can pretend to be you with a plastic guitar in their living rooms. So it’ll be a relief to David Bowie, Jeff Beck and the boys in Deep Purple to learn that they’ll be in the next edition of Guitar Hero.
The game, which is due to be released in September, will also include Iggy Pop, Tom Petty and Bob Dylan.
One Aerosmith fan even got to support the band because of his gaming prowess.
David Bowie’s contribution to the playing experience is ‘Fame’, while Jeff Beck has licensed ‘Scatterbrain’ and Deep Purple will be represented by ‘Women From Tokyo’ (99 Remix).
There is still much more of the tracklisting to be announced before the game’s release although Led Zepplin will not be featuring. We’re holding out for some Thunder and Genesis.
Classic Rock eh? – who is Led Zepplin??????????
well i’m guilty of owning a couple of these guitar hero games, they are actually quite fun to play if your drunk and among friends, but seriously why on earth can’t deep purple put a better song out for this?, on the very first of these games purple featured but someone had covered them so it wasn’t really them on the track, ok the song was smoke on the water, but cmon their has to be better songs than that to play surely!!
Bowies contribution could be better as well, why not have one of his tracks where stevie ray vaughan features?? cmon this is just wrong, if you want to get the kids into our music give them your better songs to play with!!
the thing i find ridiculous about guitar hero from the 4th one onwards is the songs they pick – i mean, to be on guitar hero, he song should be very guitar oriented, have an awesome solo and preferably be quite heavy to…i mean bowie is good, but a guitar hero? On the last one they had Sting and The Guess Who for Gods sake – good music but not exactly Guitar heroes!
