Muse’s Matt Bellamy gets plugged into Guitar Hero 5

Yet another in-game musician has been revealed for Guitar Hero 5, this time the unlikely and random choice of Muse frontman Matt Bellamy.

Nothing against Bellamy; I love Muse and the band’s music, and I think it’s a perfect fit for these band games. (I simply love playing the bassline of “Hysteria” in Rock Band.) But when you compare him to the other “legends” who will appear in the game — guitarist Santana and the yet-announced, but more or less confirmed Kurt Cobain (among others) — he’s not quite up there. He’s also no Taylor Swift or that guy from Maroon 5. 

But here he is anyhow, and his character model has no lower teeth. Or maybe Bellamy doesn’t have lower teeth in real life. I don’t really know. Muse’s song “Plug in Baby” appears in Guitar Hero 5; the band’s newest album, The Resistance, is out this September.
