From Guitar Hero to Rock Icon!

Ever dreamt of living the life of Rock & Roll stardom?

This was the first line in a press release I recently received, somehow I knew plastic guitars with coloured buttons were going to be involved! Ladies and Gents, I present to you..

Before you get too excited, this is not the next Guitar Hero game, it’s a competition to be IN the next Guitar Hero game. You need to submit videos of yourself rocking out while playing Guitar Hero, an air guitar, a tennis racket or what ever else tickles your fancy. The best entrant will be flown to LA to be motion captured for the next game. There are all sorts of other prizes too so get your webcams warmed up and put on your best rock face.

There are some awesome examples of Rocking Out with plastic guitars in the Ready Up @ i33 video that should be ready for your viewing pleasure very soon. Watch this space.

Head over to http://www.releaseyourrockstar.com/ to see some of the entries so far and to find out how you can enter. You have until July 13th.

Check out this video for a peek at one of the judges, it’s only bloody Lemmy from bloody Motorhead! Take that Simon Cowell.
