'Guitar Hero: Hendrix'
Guitar Hero: Hendrix in the Works, Says Rolling Stone Interview
by Blake Ellison Sep 17, 2008 4:20pm CST
Guns N' Roses guitarist Slash has let slip that there will be a Guitar Hero title centered on 1969 Woodstock headliner and Greatest Guitarist of All Time Jimi Hendrix.
Slash, speaking on tribute games Guitar Hero: Metallica and Aerosmith, said to Rolling Stone: "Those are two ones that I think gives it some credibility. And they're doing a Hendrix one, which is great."
As one of the original Guitar Heroes, Slash speaks with authority and enthusiasm on how the real-world music industry interacts with the plastic-guitar-jamming franchise. "You have to understand how the game works and what band really fits in to that," explained Slash. "AC/DC is probably the top one. They don't need the boost, but that would be the top one," he added.
I know no one will be pumped about this... 
Not yet official.

Guitar Hero DLC Subscription Being Evaluated by Activision, Plans to Make Lots of Money
by Blake Ellison Sep 16, 2008 6:29pm CST
Activision is considering a subscription service to deliver new songs monthly for its music-rhythm series Guitar Hero, according to Activision Publishing CEO Mike Griffith during Activision Blizzard's Analyst Day event yesterday. As Griffith explained:
Looking even further out, we're exploring new models, like an annual pass subscription where players can subscribe and get a certain number of songs downloadable each month.
No further details, such as a price or a start date for such a program, were made available. The plan would, however, be just part of Activision's plan to "monetize" the Guitar Hero series.

Re: 'Guitar Hero: Hendrix'
So, do you have to play Hendrix with the controller turned the other way?
Aw, he's no fun, he fell right over.
Unless you become as little children, there's no way you will believe this crap.

I know the character is Xavier Stone but it seems every game they morph him closer and closer to Hendrix.
