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.”
