All Aerosmith Guitar Hero Coming in June

Slated for release this June, this latest installment from the franchise with the #1 best-selling video game in 2007, puts players in the shoes of Perry (guitar), Whitford (guitar) and Hamilton (bass), as they rock out alongside frontman Tyler and drummer Kramer.

Gamers will experience Aerosmith's Grammy-winning career, from their first gig to becoming rock royalty, in a way that no other entertainment vehicle offers."

"Having a game built around Aerosmith has been a huge honor and really a great experience for us," says Joe Perry. "We've put a lot of ideas into the game so that fans can have fun interacting with our music, getting inside our body of work and learning about the band's history."

Steven Tyler says, "Any band that can go from 'Don't Want to Miss A Thing' (Aerosmith's #1 smash hit) to the ass-kicking 'Sweet Emotion' to the cheekiness of 'Love in an Elevator,' to the classic ballad 'Dream On' shows why Activision chose us to headline this game based on the diversity of the Aerosmith catalog. Not only is songwriting a bitch, but then it goes and has puppies."

Perry adds, "On a larger scale, it's cool for us to be pioneers helping to rebuild the music industry through a format like video games. It's great for rock since the record companies are struggling to make sense of how things are changing. Fans want to get and experience music in new formats--and there are going to be some of them who will play the game, then pick up the guitar for real and start bands. It's what's happening now, and it's only going to build more momentum in the future. It's a massive change for the music business.""

On top of that, Dream On will be available on the 360 and PS3 networks as a freebie from February 16-18th. MAKE SURE YOU PLAY DURING THOSE DAYS SO YOU CAN TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE FREE DOWNLOAD. It specifies nothing outside of that opening so those who are interested should jump on it since good free GH tracks aren't all that easy to find.
