Shockingly, the ability to rock doesn’t necessarily translate to rocking Guitar Hero. First we watched comedian David Cross beat Dinosaur Jr. god J Mascis at the game, and now comes news that Rolling Stone cover star Slash has spoken out about his problems adapting his sick guitar skills. “I’m not great at it,” the Guitar Hero III star admitted. “And a lot of that has to do with the fact that it’s hard for me to get rid of thirty years — whatever it is — twenty-some-odd years of playing in a certain way and then all of the sudden become accustomed to pressing some buttons and stuff. I have these little things that I’m so used to doing that when I’m playing Guitar Hero it sort of screws me up.”
And if you thought Rock Band, the game going head-to-head with Guitar Hero III when they both hit stores in the fall, sounded good before, here’s even more info: Nirvana’s Nevermind will be fully downloadable and playable on the game after it’s released. And Guitar Legend, a sort of Guitar Hero title for mobile phones, will feature the band’s “Heart Shaped Box.”
