My roommate got the new Guitar Hero last week. He was actually shopping for Halloween costumes, but came home with the hard to find Guitar Hero World Tour band kit. As his roommate, I am reaping the benefits by being delegated to be the drummer in his "band". It's pretty sweet.
After buying the new GH, we saw these two ads.
Now these commercials didn't convince my roommate to buy the game. (The game pretty much sells itself.) But I am impressed with all the high profile celebrities Guitar Hero was able to get in this Risky Business spoof.
You have Tony Hawk (legend in his own video game right) on drums, Alex Rodriguez (highest paid baseball player ever) on bass, Michael Phelps (you know, that guy who dominated NBC this summer) on guitar and Kobe Bryant (remember him being swarmed by Chinese fans?) as the lead singer. That is star packed. Then there is the second commercial with the famed supermodel Heidi Klum. She doesn't need a band.
It's always fun to see celebs like this being a little silly and this commercial got it right. Just look at Phelps strum that "guitar". He can't keep from grinning. Kobe gets really into the lipsyncing. The picture looks just like the 80's movie.
I wonder how much they got paid...
