'Guitar Hero: World Tour' launch festivities planned

Categories: Games, In Concert, Music, Music Biz

With less than a week to go before Guitar Hero: World Tour hits stores, the rhythm game giant is preparing for a major blowout to celebrate its launch. Much like the party for Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock, World Tour will also kick off at a Los Angeles Best Buy. Last time around, Poison entertained gamers and celebrity fans on the retailer's rooftop, but with the popularity of music games reaching new heights over the past year, an upgrade was most certainly in order. So on Oct. 25, the Hollywood store will host Smashing Pumpkins, who are expected to play an hour-long set in between turns by DJ Jazzy Jeff and the official Guitar Hero band. Capping off the festivities? The first Guitar Hero: World Tour sale at midnight to one lucky party-goer.

No way, you totally gotta throw him out by his pants, Uncle Phil style.

Reyngel · 10-21-2008, 09:02 PM

DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Pumpkins, for free?

Damn, how could you not go?

MisterSquishyHalo · 10-21-2008, 09:52 PM

Speculation on the setlist that is played? Mostly hits? New stuff?

Shallowed · 10-21-2008, 10:35 PM

Hmm, I'm guessing just the hits. Just the hits, and not all of the singles.

This just in: Jeff to release baffling remix of "Neverlost," featuring bagpipes.

Monte to the thread please.

He can drive down to record this with his HD camera + mic setup.

I mean, if he can drive down to wait in a car park all day to meet Billy, then he can drive down to watch and record this.

melodic skys · 10-23-2008, 12:35 AM

it's being said that this is an invite only event and not open to the public, can anyone confirm?

I'm guessing that the set is going to be all or most of the songs available on Guitar Hero. And maybe 1 or 2 other classics.

I got a message back from the ridiculous "media militia" telling me...

"We can't give you exact info...but we MAY be able to tell you how to get tickets."

They never replied to me again when I said I was interested in the info.

So I'm thinking..."okay...guess I'll just call the store". I happened to get some free Kimmel tickets right afterwards before they sold out, so I'll just do that tommorow and let everyone else beat their heads in to find out anything about this mystical guitar hero concert.

the stupid fucking media militia never knows anything. theyve been completely unhelpful and just like to stick themselves in even when they have no idea what theyre talking about.

Skradgee · 10-23-2008, 01:17 PM

I want to get some video out of this of Billy trying to play the game...and sucking at it. Imagine him trying to play G.L.O.W and then he gets booed. He'd have some excuse like "I wrote the song! My hands want to make the actual guitar chords."
