Guitar Hero: Van Halen Expansion Pack Hits Stores Today

GeekSugar — Tue, 22 Dec 2009 10:30:34 PST

Although my family usually indulges in a rousing game of Wii bowling during get togethers, after Thanksgiving dinner this year, I decided to break out the Guitar Hero to see if my relatives would be down to rock out. They put in a good effort, but let's just say they weren't into my Metallica expansion pack and complained of headaches after two songs. However, I'm sure they'd know a few tunes from the latest release. Just in time for Christmas, you can add another sick guitar solo to your repertoire as Guitar Hero: Van Halen hits shelves today.

Packed with 25 of the band's greatest hits like "Jump" (everybody knows that song - even my Aunt Erma), you and your friends and family can work off those holiday sweets by shredding it up online, as a group, or in battle as a band. And to get more bang for your buck, this pack combines the best of Van Halen along with 20 songs by other artists like Foreigner, The Clash, Deep Purple, and Lenny Kravitz for a total of a 45 song setlist.

Guitar Hero: Van Halen is available for your PS3, PS2, Wii, and Xbox 360 systems today online or in stores for $56.

Bwahahahaha!

If you ever wondered what Van Halen's Runnin' With the Devil sounds like without music - just David Lee Roth's shouts, screams, shrieks, exclamations, grunts, and whistles - here's your chance! How thoughtful of him to leave many uncomfortable silences in between for you to laugh your ever-lovin' ass off! Why is this funny? I couldn't tell you. It just is.

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame held its annual induction ceremony last night. Which honored artist is your favorite?

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Welcomes Its Class of '07

BuzzSugar — Tue, 13 Mar 2007 00:17:08 PDT

Monday night seems like a strange time to celebrate rock and roll, but there was plenty of awesomeness at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's annual induction ceremony, held last night at New York's Waldorf-Astoria Hotel. For the first time ever, the awards were broadcast live on TV, but if you missed the show on VH1 Classic, you can watch it on demand at AOL Music.

Jay-Z was on hand to induct hip-hop pioneers Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five, which he did by reading a speech off of his PDA. Other inductees included legendary girl group the Ronettes, inducted by Keith Richards; Patti Smith, who accepted the honor from Zack De La Rocha; and R.E.M., who received their award from Eddie Vedder.

Unfortunately, Eddie Van Halen couldn't make it because he's in rehab, but the group bearing his moniker was still officially inducted by Velvet Revolver. Two former band members, Sammy Hagar and ex-bassist Michael Anthony, were there to accept the award.
