Activision are running a little Guitar Hero competition. An awesome Guitar Hero competition. It's an air guitar (well, fake-plastic-guitar-playing) contest, where entrants have to fake rocking out to a track in front of Activision for a shot at appearing as a character in the next Guitar Hero game. That's not the awesome part. No, that comes now: the comp's judge is Lemmy. Yeah, Lemmy. Brilliant.
With This, Guitar Hero Has My Interest Again

If you're interested in this sort of thing, you MUST watch a movie called Air Guitar Nation.
I'll play my Gibson PS3 guitar and dress up like a rock star, but lets take it one step further, shades from Axl Rose, beat down the man with the camera afterwards.
That was horrible. Tin foil man scared me. Also that lady went berserk. Anger issues much? Either way it was fun to watchh
i laughed when one of the guys slipped on a previous contestant's bits of costume.
So by watching these people make a full of themselves I am supposed to now want to play Guitar Hero III?
Haha, Lemmy didn't want to see the rest of that poor guy's fireworks, but he shot it off anyway.
That is commitment.
@Domobran: Nope. You're supposed to be reminded of how fucking awesome Motorhead are.
Brilliant! Simply Brilliant! :D
it seems like that show called i want to be a superhero.
Wow, just wow
TRUE STORY ALERT:
I had a friend who works sound for a major concert venue, and when motorhead came into town a while back, he was the lead tech during their setup. He told me that he noticed one of the roadies not doing much but standing by Lemmy and his guitar case. Occassionally reaching into it when Lemmy nodded to him during his soundcheck. My friend inched closer out of curiousity, and found that that particular roadie's job was to KEEP WHISKEY IN LEMMY'S GLASS. At all times, and at all costs.
Lemmy is a God, put down your earthly controller and listen to the pure faceblinding and harddrinking power of Motorhead.
Well there is a clear winner - the TWINS! If they were actually twins. That would make for an interesting character for the next game :)
The rest were your usual blooper reel slapstick lame types.
Oh dear. I see the name 'Lemmy', and instantly think off the Koopa Kid instead. I hang my head in shame.
Brilliant! Must see more.
"Who'd win in a wrestling match, Lemmy or God?"
"Uhhh...Lemmy?"
"bzzzzt!"
"God?"
"Wrong, dickhead, trick question: Lemmy IS God."
@edb87 That's the FIRST thing that popped into my head... DAMN YOU STEVE BUSCIMI, ADAM SANDLER and BRANDON FRAZIER!!
@CooperHawkes: Haha good to know there's a fellow Airhead in the house. XD
@PATSCRU:
That story brought a tear to my eye.
<3 Lemmy
Forgive my ignorance, but who the eff is Lemmy...? :/
@aelfin: You have the power of the internet at your disposal. Maybe you should swap those interracial Nazi animal porn websites for something like wikipedia?
@aelfin: THE God of Rock.
Keep tryin' GH, keep trying. I suppose SOME suckers will eat it up.
@Fistynuts: Oh, but I'm sure that the Kotaku response boards can provide the more entertaining and informative answer.
Besides, when someone's referenced by one name and no context, it's a ready assumption that they should be immediately known to all comers. The net will provide an answer (as it provides that sweet, sweet pornography) but it doesn't provide that ultimate answer of 'why does everyone here seem to know something that I don't? Why is this guy so famous, so important?'
I had no idea who this 'Lemmy' was, but seem to understand, from the other comments, him to have something to do with Motorhead, which explains why I don't know who he is and, to some degree, chills my interest in knowing more.
That was just really frickin creepy... made me want to play GH even less. :/
Yeah, we can't actually create a character for Guitar Hero but we can be some d-bag who won a contest. Whee.
There are some serious freaks out there.
Who or what is Lemmy?
*sigh* an Idol spoof? Lame Activision... God damned lame.
Some of the entrants were amusing, but man.
Please, let's not encourage this kind of behavior.
i love the guy who set the controller on fire. love the hendrix.
Official Contest Rule: Any ties will be broken by Lemmy's mole.
Lame as hell. If it was an actual GH competition, then that would have caught my interest. Instead you got a bunch of losers dressed like idiots dancing around.
Hahah, all you critics are sour faces. That was awesome.
@Arkos: Sorry for double post but someone saying that those people having fun dressed up and acting crazy are losers, yet a actual GH competition wouldn't be. That just cracks me up. Keep these comments coming hahahah.
OMG what was I watching just now D:
Hm...between Toddler Slash, Pedo Clown, and the Twins, it's a tough choice.
Who's Lemmy?
where is this competition again?
you msut watch this movie
[en.wikipedia.org]
Lemmy is GOD!!!!!!!
And airheads is a awesome movie.
But once again Guitar Hero has proved me wrong. By proving that it does make people look more retarded once again even with just the control and nothing else. But my money is on the Mummy to WIN!
Lemmy = God.....or Motorhead lead singer, choose the one that suits you.
There is no Motorhead track in GH3 right?
That doesn't scream "staged" at all.
Dumb, but kind of funny and not as bad as the RB stage kit, so the people dumping on GH for this must have some pretty short memories. They're not trying to sell me this in stores at least.
Like the game for the game. As if an event is going to alter the gameplay and make the game suck.
What a waste of time.
"I'm not finished yet." *Pop*
"Yes you are."
Brilliant.
staged or not, that was funny
PYROTECHNICS FTW
I hope this ends like A Great White in Rhode Island...
what, too soon?
What's the song playing in this? I kinda like it.
@PATSCRU: ...I didn't know who this man was up until now, but I already feel like I'm two decades late in worshiping him.
Gotta be the Twins. That would be awesome to play as in GH.
