USAToday.com has issued the following report from Mike Snider:

Two years ago, AEROSMITH guitarist Joe Perry came home and found his youngest son, Roman, now 16, playing Guitar Hero with friends.

"I played it a little bit and said, 'This is fantastic. Does it have any Aerosmith songs on it?' " Perry says. "The first game didn't, and I was hugely (upset)."

Perry may have been playing the blues then, but no more. The first one-band edition of the game, Guitar Hero: Aerosmith, is due in June for PlayStation 2 and 3, Xbox 360 and Wii.

GH: Aerosmith (about $50) will track the history of the Rock and Roll Hall of Famers, who have sold 100 million-plus albums.
