GameTrailers.com recently posted an exclusive motion capture doc for the upcoming Guitar Hero: Metallica game. Check it out below.
As previously reported, two other Guitar Hero: Metallica trailers, featuring MOTÖRHEAD mainman Ian "Lemmy" Kilmister and King Diamond (MERCYFUL FATE, KING DIAMOND) are available and can be viewed below.
Both appear as a playable characters in the Guitar Hero: Metallica game, due in stores this spring.
Gamers will have the option to either watch Lemmy's in-game likeness as he hammers away at his bass and sings in his signature, whiskey-drenched vocals, or they can step into his cowboy boots and learn to play Motörhead's 2008 re-recorded version of their biggest hit, the anthemic 'Ace Of Spades.'
"It's great to be in 'Guitar Hero' with all these famous people and I'm really pleased to be in it with Metallica," Lemmy said, "but [frontman] James [Hetfield] is still taller than me.""It's been absolutely amazing to be a part of this Guitar Hero experience," says King Diamond. It was quite a trip to re-record the song 'Evil' almost 25 years after the original recording took place. The end result with four out of the five original musicians turned out so much better than I would ever have hoped for," said King Diamond. "Seeing my animated character take form was totally eerie in a very good way. It's so strange to see yourself animated in such perfect detail - cross bone microphone, Eye necklace and all. This game looks and sounds METAL all the way. HORNS UP!!!"
