As previously reported by Billboard.com, AEROSMITH launched the Guitar Hero: Aerosmith game yesterday (June 27) during a press conference at New York's Hard Rock Cafe. All five band members - singer Steven Tyler, guitarist Joe Perry, bassist Tom Hamilton, drummer Joey Kramer and guitarist Brad Whitford - attended the event to answer questions about the game, which fans got a chance to test-run before it hits stores Sunday.
Numerous photos from the press conference can be viewed at this location.
The premise of Guitar Hero: Aerosmith is for players to progress through the band's nearly 40-year career. Gamers have the opportunity to play seminal Aerosmith songs, all taken from the band's master recordings, as well as tracks from artists who have played with or influenced the band such as Joan Jett and Run DMC.
Among the Aerosmith tracks used in the game are 'Sweet Emotion', 'Livin' On The Edge', 'Walk This Way' and 'Dream On'. The game will be released for Wii, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 2 and 3.
