Big Guitar Hero World Tour Information

Update: We removed the info that was added to the music studio as this appears to be about another upcoming game called “Lips” (keep an eye out for a post about the game later tonight).
We just got this tip sent to us… we checked it out ourselves and everything seems legit. This all comes from a market research firm.

The artists that were listed are;
- Jimi Hendrix
- The Doors

AGONY | Jun 23, 2008 | Reply
They should add Daron Malakian, the guitarist from SOAD as one of the guitar bosses. I mean that would be so kick ass, and unique if they can pull it off.

With the custom song option, I’m assuming I’ll be able to d/l shared SOAD from all of the albums. It would be great to get Qubert, Psycho, Forest, and Peephole
