First band to step up for Guitar Hero 6? Tesla! photo

Guitar Hero 6 development is already well underway, despite the fact that it hasn't officially been announced. How do we know this? Well, I woke up this morning, the sky is blue, and Jim Sterling upset a bunch of people last week -- these are all things that simply happen in nature. 

Who will be on the soundtrack? Well, we can confirm Tesla now. Yup, the guitarist for the 80s rock outfit recently confirmed that its song "Modern Day Cowboy" has been selected to appear in Guitar Hero 6. Dave Rude says the song was one of the three tracks it suggested to Activision when it was asked to be involved in the game. 

Rude also isn't on the "play a real instrument" band-wagon, seeing positives in the band-game experience. 

"“I teach guitar when I’m not touring and a lot of people start in on that," he says. "A lot of people complain, but I think it’s a good thing. Even if people don’t learn to play guitar, it’s exposing them to all sorts of cool guitar-based music that they wouldn’t have ever heard otherwise."

How long before they sue Activision for breach of contract? That seems to be the trend at least.

That song has some pretty great instrumentation, so it'll be a blast to play at the very least.

Fuck yes. I'm slightly biased to tesla since they're from my home town , but Frank Hannon can shred like a beast.

Sweet, I've wanted Tesla in a rhythm game forever. Mechanical Resonance is a superb album.

Now we just need Cumin' Atcha Live in Rock Band, and all will be right with the world.

seriously people should stop buying this shit. RB has had a awesome dlc library each week, growing your collection is so much better than buying a new 60 game every half a year.

But hey, it's Guitar Hero, what do you expect?

Guitar Hero 6? Wow. They should just have zombies as your avatar cause they have killed this franchise and are using necromancy to keep it going.

Guitar Hero 5 was awesome, I wonder exactly what they'll add to this *prays for more My Morning Jacket and Buckethead*

Oh, fuck YES.

We'd have also accepted 'Party's Over' or 'Hang Tough'. Yes, we would've.

@funran: so just because you say RB has the greatest songs EVAR means the rest of us should eat them up too?

fuck that, RB songs are boring. They have maybe, MAYBE two dozen interesting songs. Other than that it's poppy crap you pick up off the radio.

I'd love it if the whole gaming community could make a stand and just IGNORE THE FUCK OUT OF THE GUITAR HERO FRANCHISE FROM NOW ON. Seriously, there's already 5 other GH games out there, we shouldn't be encouraging Activision by giving them even more press.
