Sing/Dance/Rock: 5 Upcoming Music Video Games
I hope you're ready to get your groove on because the next few months are bringing with it the promise of brand spankin' new music-based video games. And there's going to be something for everybody, whether you're into rapping, rocking, or scratching. Everybody who can feel the music, that is.
With All the New Music Games, Are You Still Into Guitar Hero 5?
You've got Band Hero, DJ Hero, Beatles Rock Band, Rapstar — the list of upcoming video games is a music lover's dream. But with all these new music-focused games, is there still room for the arguable originator, Guitar Hero, set to release its fifth iteration next month?
The new GH will feature a new guitar and the ability to import old Guitar Hero songs, and it will support four players for simultaneous playing.
New Rocking Out Uniform: Guitar Hero T-Shirt
Generally, when I'm getting ready to "shred" on Guitar Hero, I just wear something that won't get in the way of using the whammy bar (though one day, I'm going to dress up as Casey Lynch if I can amass that much leather).
Now I may have to throw on this Ryde Guitar Hero Tee ($24).
The tee, which is also available in black and white, is good for rocking inside and showing your love on the street.
Peep the New Guitar For Guitar Hero 5
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.
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?
Guitar Hero Makes Risky Business For Celebs!
Though we have yet to see Tom Cruise, Guitar Hero has employed a wide gamut of celebs to play his famous role in Risky Business, but with a GH twist. With the latest March Madness/Metallica inspired spot, I thought I'd remind you of the past stars who've stripped down to their pink shirt and undies, and slipperiest socks, and yes, taken those old records off the shelf.

Genius Kid Sets World Record For Guitar Hero
Not only does Danny Johnson speak four languages, play the piano, saxophone, oboe, and drums, but he also set the Guinness World Record for the highest score in Guitar Hero playing the toughest song available: "Through The Fire and Flames." I am not even close to completing the song, and am kind of in awe of how fast his 14-year-old fingers move on that plastic guitar.
