Guitar Heroes and Legends

Before Guitar Hero: World Tour hits the stores here, let's recap the celebrities that will appear in the game. Like Guitar Hero 3, some will be boss fights, guest vocalists or just recording their old songs again like The Sex Pistols. However, we've got an arsenal of well known personalities. Ranging from the Prince of Darkness to the Prince of Cool.

Ozzy Osbourne

A unique stage presence? Yeah, he's the master.

Billy Corgan

Motorhead

Motorhead re-recording their old classics. There's Lemmy.. and everyone else!

Gene Simmons Battle Axe Guitar Controller

Equipped with Gene's face and autograph on it, it raises Guitar Hero and Rock Band to a new level of Badass. The latest custom guitar controller is released by Kobian USA and fans can now pay tribute to one of the Greatest Idols of Rock'n'Roll (and reality TV?). Its design is a 3/4 replica of the original bass guitar that have brought rockers by storm. Seriously, this guitar will start a war. Who can deny this demon(maybe the tongue)?

KISS this AXE!

AXE Overview:

The Gene Simmons AXE is a fully equipped, axe-shaped guitar controller compatible with PlayStation® 2 and 3 Guitar Hero™ and Rock Band™. A replica of the KISS bassist and vocalist’s signature bass guitar, the Gene Simmons AXE guitar controller is a three-quarter sized replica of the original AXE guitar and slightly larger than the standard video game guitar controllers.

Though the aging KISS member is settling down as you have seen him in his Reality TV show, this rockstar still leaves an undeniable charm even as generations come and go in the form of his demonic special effects and terrifying war paint. I would Rock and Roll All Night and Party everyday to honor him!

The Gene Simmons you see now.

The Gene Simmons I will always remember.
