Tom Morello bosses around Guitar Hero III @ Gaming Target

Written by John Scalzo on September 07, 2007

News: Rage guitarist joins Slash on the bosses' stage.

Activision has announced that Tom Morello, guitarist from Rage Against the Machine, Audioslave and the Nightwatchman, has joined Slash as one of the "boss characters" in Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock.

"Whenever I play Guitar Hero my opponent always kicks my ass on my own riffs. It's embarrassing," said Morello. "Now that I'm actually IN the game I hope the digital me will win once in awhile!"

Players will battle Morello in an exclusive track created especially for the game. And if they emerge victorious, they will unlock a master track version of Rage Against the Machine's "Bulls on Parade" with a digitized Morello rocking out alongside them.

"We are thrilled to have two guitar icons of our generation on board to be bosses in Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock," said Tim Riley, worldwide executive of music. "Both Morello and Slash went into the studio and created mind-blowing original recordings designed to be challenging for even the expert players."
