Two Connecticut rockers brought down the thunder AND the lighting last week while playing Guitar Hero II on their Playstation 2.

The two teens were knocked to the floor while slamming out Message in a Bottle, The Wilton Villager reports.

Ben and Chris Bergin, ages 19 and 14, respectively, were jamming to "Message in a Bottle" by the Police on their guitar controllers when a bolt of lighting touched down near the house, and the charge found its way into the house's wiring.

"I actually looked over at my brother because I thought he hit me in the chest with something," Chris Bergin said.

While the teens were not injured, both of their faux axes were fried. Brian Crecente
