Default Guitar Hero: On Tour Video

There is a game play video for Guitar Hero: On Tour that is...well...it's indescribable. It's funny in a weird kinda way and I wanted to share it with you. It's Safe for Work and all that so enjoy.

Rock Out!
http://www.gamevideos.com/video/id/19050

Insane video aside, I think this new iteration is incredibly gimmicky; and do we really need more guitar hero right now, especially on a hand-held?

Also just wanted to point out that this video was user submitted to every site I found it on, and wasn't officially released by Activision. To me it looks like it is too well made to be made by a user, so I'm not really sure where this is coming from. It might be that it was made by Activision and not officially released. But I can't imagine why.

After the travesty that was GH3, the Guitar Hero series is dead to me. Viva la Rock Band!

I'd be impressed if that thing worked very well. Odd video ... I suppose it's meant to be a homage to the cheesy video game ads of the 80's, but it just didn't quite work for me.

I'll also agree with MarchHare ... the guitar hero series is now tainted in my eyes.

speaking of guitar hero, there's a video clip for their rock band clone. The interview in the first minute is gold.

Definitely check out the first few seconds of the interview. Well worth it.

Was that Tony Hawk ripping it on the guitar?

If by ripping you mean playing with the intensity of a napping elderly person, then yes, it was Tony Hawk.

perhaps Konami's Rock Revolution will interest you then.

Guitar Hero and Rock Band are stupid. People who play it are stupid. It's not even real instruments. I play real instruments and am not stupid, like you who play stupid fake instruments. Get a life. Gawd...

i laughed. funny video. "who do I make it out to...your momma?" classic.

and the second video...oh man...paula didn't even clap to the music. tony hawk reminded me of the fixx's bass player when I saw them at the jube with a flock of seagulls 20 years ago...he didn't move either. and don't they prompt the host when they do a product launch? She looked stupid. great video...but she looked stupid.
