The time is almost near for Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock to release its metal upon the world. Before the world gets a taste, the metal descended upon Dallas for a star-studded event held at Dallas Cowboys cornerback, Terence Newman’s home. The host of the event was the starting quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys, Mr. Tony Romo. I’m sure you can imagine the media frenzy with ESPN and other local news there.
I was able to attend the event courtesy of the crew at Microsoft’s Gamerscoreblog. I was there to rock and I can assure you that Tony Romo, Terence Newman and the other guests were too. It will go down officially as the best day ever!
During the event Tony Romo battled against Carmen Electra via Xbox Live. Carmen was hosting her own Guitar Hero III event in Los Angeles and took some time to actually beat Tony during their Xbox Live battle. To Tony’s credit, he did accidentally pull the wired Les Paul from the Xbox 360 during the battle which caused him much grief and put an abrupt end to the fierce competition.
I got a chance to battle one-on-one against Terence Newman and melted his brain with my wireless guitar skills. It was the first time I’ve had a chance with the wireless Les Paul and it was just as responsive as the wired one. Dusty Welch, Head of Publishing with RedOctane, was there to instruct everyone and answer any questions about the game. I had some great conversations with him about the game, faceplates and other plans for the title after launch. Other Dallas Cowboys attending the event and shredding guitar were Julius Jones (RB), Marc Columbo (OL) and Ken Hamlin (FS).
I took plenty of pictures that I hope you enjoy as much as I enjoyed being at the event. I’m a huge Dallas Cowboys fan and a big fan of Guitar Hero III so I was all smiles. Be prepared to unleash your inner rockstar on October 28th when Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock becomes available in stores.
