Gerard Way and Pete Wentz Light Up 'Guitar Hero Live' Launch Party

FUSE TV - Gerard Way and Pete Wentz Light Up 'Guitar Hero Live' Launch Party

A decade has passed since Guitar Hero's inception. Its success was almost immediate: Its guitar (and later, bass and drum) controller allowed video game fanatics to live out the ultimate fantasy—that of being a rock star—from the comfort of their living room. It soon became iconic, launching new versions (Legends of Rock, World TourWarriors of Rock) and band-specific tributes to AerosmithMetallica and Van Halen. For the next five years, GH dominated the video game world, taking the interactive element of something like Dance Dance Revolution and making it rock and roll.

In 2010, Activision—Guitar Hero's parent company—ceased making the game, possibly because music gaming declined in popularity, but also because of the over-saturation of its franchise. To put it simply, they were just doing too much, too fast.

That changed Tuesday morning, April 14. At New York City's famed Best Buy Theater, press folk of all kinds joined Activision for the exciting launch of a new game, Guitar Hero Live, due this fall.
