    My favorite "guitar-driven" Aerosmith number HAS to be "Let the Music Do the Talking," from the 1986 comeback album, "Done with Mirrors." Electric! The link below doesn't really do it justice, to how it sounds on vinyl, cranked WAY UP!


+ Watch video

    For a Queen selection, I used to LOVE to go wild when I was first learning guitar, on "Death on Two Legs."


+ Watch video

    Kinda grainy on those two, but better late to the party than never, right?

And, for that matter, donkey konga where 1 hit=1 hit rather than 1 button triggering an entire riff. But, I feel that rockist naysaying is the wrong approach to the happiest thing on earth: video games. Don't get me wrong, I don't mind your hateful hating on music. But video games!?!

*Toys In The Attic
*Falling In Love (Is Hard On The Knees)
*Taste Of India
*Helter Skelter [an awesome cover of the Beatles tune!)

I may not be such a big fan of their more recent stuff, but their past library has more than enough tunes for its' own GH title.

Next Generation to Take a Pass on Aerosmith

BOSTON-In an address made to the rock-and-roll community Tuesday, the nation's children aged 5 to 14 announced their intention to opt out of being influenced, stirred, or otherwise affected by the rock band Aerosmith. "We are aware the classic American band has, since their rise to fame in the 1970s, repeatedly come out of nowhere to penetrate popular culture, be it with their 1986 comeback duet with Run D.M.C., the 1993 film Mrs. Doubtfire, which prominently featured 'Dude Looks Like a Lady,' or their 2001 Super Bowl performance with Britney Spears," said a spokesman for the so-called Generation Z, 13-year-old Max Hersch. "But we are respectfully declining. No Aerosmith for us, thanks." When reached for comment, Aerosmith front man Steven Tyler called attempts to evade the band "futile," adding that the rock quintet's influence over the young set is just one "Dream On" duet with Hannah Montana away.

They could easily release this as downloadable tracks for GH3 for $15-$20, but instead they have an entirely new game that costs $50. The Tyler and Perry graphics probably don't justify the price difference.

My first thought when I complete GH1 and was waiting for 2 was that they need to start making band-centered expansion packs, just in order to keep it coming. I'm not the biggest Aerosmith fan in the world (though I do like their early stuff and do not mind their Geffen years at all), but a success for this would encourage other bands to consider it (e.g. Books' Two fer Tuesday cannon-ites). I had figured it would be KISS to be the first one to do it. All that plastic surgery must be inhibiting Gene Simmons' ability to smell money.

That's what I mean. They had so many songs that were hits back in the day, but haven't remained as popular as some of their other songs. I mean, everyone knows Bohemian Rhapsody and We Are the Champions. Along with We Will Rock You, Another One Bites the Dust, and You're My Best Friend. But they seriously have so many songs that would be hits for other bands...it's just ridiculous.

And who wouldn't want to play some of the guitar riffs in Bohemian Rhapsody?

I think this band has two or three good songs. They have to be one of the most revered bands with the sketchiest output. I mean, "Love in an Elevator" and "Dude Looks Like A Lady"? And don't give me that "the early stuff was good" nonsense. It was OK, but it's not even what the band is that famous for. They've had WAY more hits in their crappy period (AKA everything from the 80s on). Barf. This might be where the pendulum swings to Rock Band for good. This is shovelware, pure and simple.
