Oh yeah, I write a video game review column occasionally over at www.quickstopent.com/gameon as well at http://www.comicmix.com/contributor/ian-bonds/
I also write and record comedy music...I have an album coming out and everything. Call it "nerdcore" or "dementia" or whatever. It's good stuff, if you like geeky little songs about videogames and sci-fi. You can find that stuff at www.myspace.com/n3rds0ngs or at my website http://www.InsaneIan.com
Hey folks...as some may know, I'm a comedy music artist. I recently wrote and recorded a song about Guitar Hero called...well, GUITAR HERO. It's a parody of JUKE BOX HERO by Foreigner and we think it's pretty damn awesome. So do a lot of people actually, as it has hit the Top Ten countdown on the Dr Demento Show, a national syndicated novelty radio show (that gave a certain Weird Al Yankovic his comedy start).
Here is the song itself:
Now, Dr Demento's Top Ten is aired the end of each month, and this month's happens to fall on October 26th...the same day GUITAR HERO WORLD TOUR hits stores...do you see what i'm getting at? How AWESOME would it be for my song ABOUT Guitar Hero to reach the Top Ten (or even, number one?) the day and date the new GAME of Guitar Hero hits store shelves? That'd be pretty frikkin' killer, if you ask me (of course, i just may be a BIT biased).
To help out, you can go here:

and request "Guitar Hero" by Insane Ian. I'd really appreciate it.
You should re-record the vocals, and remake the beat, not just use the karaoke version ( I can hear the backup singers sing juke box hero). Then I'll Vote for you.. ;)
@ Carebear LG...not sure HOW you can hear the backup singers singing "juke box", since they're not...it's NOT a Karaoke version, it's completely re-recorded (they're even singing SPECIFIC lyrics..."watch his score rise" not "stars in his eyes") Listen again...my vox may no be the best, but hey, i don't claim to be Lou Gramm...that man is hard to emulate. But i assure you, all sounds in that recording are done especially FOR that recording.
