I don't know if any of you have been paying attention, but VH1 has this show called Rock of Love, and it's awesome. Essentially, it's Flavor of Love, except instead of a bunch of tramps vying for Flavor Flav's attention, a bunch of tramps try to woo Poison frontman, Bret Michaels. It's a fantastic disaster to watch, and I highly recommend you go set your DVR immediately ... but that's not the point here.
The point is, the timing on this couldn't be more perfect -- Activision has announced that Bret Michaels will appear as a lead vocalist character in Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock. The game will also feature the classic stripper anthem, "Talk Dirty to Me" (as made famous by Poison), as well as a master track from the Bret Michaels Band, "Go That Far." Your favorite song, I'm sure.
"This game totally rocks!" said Michaels, "I gave them my signature moves, basically did my thing, and they capture it. It was really cool."
He did his "thing"? What exactly does that entail? Getting barely legal strippers drunk enough to make out with each other, while serenading them with an acoustic number that sounds suspiciously like "Every Rose Has Its Thorn," but isn't? Sounds like a mini-game to me.

Scott Ian > Bret Michaels
GH3 already had some suck ass songs lined up, and this just makes me want it that much less. Rock Band is so obviously gonna be the one that kicks nuts, unlike GH3, which just plays with them.
In fact, I'm not guessing too many people who buy Rock Band will not buy GHIII as well. If you have enough mony to get Rock Band, why not spend the extra $50 on GHIII as well?
At least Slash actually plays the instrument the game is supposedly simulating. Bret Michals should get run over by a fleet of dump trucks!!!

Also, didn't take long for Activision to degrade the series to commercial shlock, did it? =D
"Cause baby well be
At the drive-in
In the old mans ford
Behind the bushes
Till Im screamin for more
Down the basement
Lock the cellar door
And baby
Talk dirty to me"
Do these lyrics not move you?
@ yaisuah:
I'm so beyond that. Bret Michaels is so ridiculous in so many ways, that he's absolutely hilarious. Calling him a loser is pointless; he's extremely entertaining, in ways that he doesn't intend to be. Poison's music is totally schlocky and perfect for Guitar Hero, and Rock of Love makes me laugh ... a lot.
True, I didn't have the pictures, but it was in USA Today (their paper and their website) before I posted it.
With that reasoning, we should go ahead and be happy when they announce Flava Flav "doin his thang" in GH4.
GH1 was a landmark in beat game history, GH2 was more of the same which nobody really complained about. Rock the 80s was a let down simply cuz the song selection was more like Trash of the 80s 80% of the time. For some reason though, with GH3 they are taking something that really only needed online play make it part 3, and they are trying to change it all up, and it just makes it look like a joke. ESPECIALLY when they add jokes like Bret Michaels. You will reap what you sow you mother fuckers, and right now your sowin a buncha cow shit and no seeds.
