Guitar Hero TV?
Sources are saying that the widely popular video game Guitar Hero could be spawning its own reality television show or even perhaps a real-life concert tour.
The franchise is owned by Activision (the brains behind Worlds of Warcraft) and CEO Bobby Kotick sees the potential in the video game. While he thinks it "might make for a good TV show or a good concert tour," he wouldn't comment on the speculation of a movie as well.
But don't worry video gamers, they haven't forgetten about the actual GAMES. Activision Blizzard this year will release several new Guitar Hero games including DJ Hero, which uses a turntable controller for hip-hop, Motown and other dance music, and Band Hero, which caters to younger players and features top-40 hits. Guitar Hero: Van Halen and Guitar Hero: Smash Hits also are set for release.
We think this might be taking it too far.
What do U think?

Vine Diesel In New Movie
first. i think that's kinda cool. too bad i suck at the game to even be able to participate
Nerds know not what it means to "take it too far". I mean, WOW is second only to Live Action Role Playing. Guitar Hero TV is a mere drop in the bucket to these hardcore dorks.
ooh yay i love guitar hero!
agreed… GH is awesome but that is excessive.
I want to play Rock Band with you. I'm not bad on the guitar! You're probably be better than me…just like Uno
This is quite possibly the dumbest thing I've heard of today. Now, I say that as a self-professed "hardcore dork" (as per miss.stacey's comment). I dislike how kids can play this game and suddenly think that their rockstars.
Whatever! I think this is an AMAZING idea!!!!!!!

I don't think making a show is taking it too far. They have the best gamer show on Sci-Fi - I can totally see this with the same concept on a a network like FOX.
Geek minute of the day: Blizzard is the brains behind WoW, then Blizzard and Activision merged into Activision Blizzard. Activision before the merge was not involved with WoW or other Blizzard games at all.
guitar hero used to be good now is shit, but stll i want the guitar hero metallica
Fuck Guitar Hero and Rock Band, Konami did it first with Guitar Freaks and Drummania.
meh, why not? milk that cash cow game!
I don't know how they could make a decent tv show off of it. Are we supposed to watch other people play guitar hero?
world* not worlds L2P nub
Re: Lua – That's what I was gonna say. Activision is just a publisher. And the tv show sounds straight up retarded. Let me guess, it'll either be on MTV, Spike or G4.
Wonder why Perez didn't update today????
—————————————————————————-
Check Perez Hilton's twitter… he got on a ridicolous feud with Kirstey Alley & Melissa Gilbert, he trashed both down and was a vile evil!!! Check on his ridicolous rants.
@kirstiealley At least I've never been to rehab. Seems like you're due for another visit soon, sweetie.
@MelissaEGilbert I entertain people every day. Put smiles on millions of their faces.
@MelissaEGilbert But I'm a blogger. That's what I do. I also do a lot of good and I GENUINELY think I'm making the world a better place.
@kirstiealley Who is sadder: the gossip blogger or the hasbeen actress stooping down to his level? 'Nuff said. I win. TRY and top that!

Perez needs a reality check!!!!
Ummmm no! It's a video game franchise dumb ass!
Hmmmm OKAY…..
I love watching people play Guitar Hero, and then showing them up by beating them at their best song on a harder difficulty
It'll suck not being able to do that watching people play it on TV
I'm rubbish at this, my timings completely messed up. Pratice makes perfect i suppose.
why not since the real musicians and artists of the day suck
wow, there making a reality-BS-show for everything now. great. rock of love meets guitar hero. i can't wait *eyeroll*
Re: Kate27 – wow, he sure is a douche. his fame is going to his heas… or at least what he considers beeing famous for… *lol* next time, i have a argument with someone, i just go and say: " i win! enough said. lalala, i'm not listening…"
I don't like these games; they are an insult to real guitar players everywhere.
I WANT TO BE ON IT!!
