The recent announcement of the Aerosmith edition of Guitar Hero left me feeling kinda cold. I mean, yeah, Aerosmith is fine and all, but last time I checked it's 2008 not 1994. The same could probably be said for the latest rumor, only replace 1994 with MOTHER EFFING 1984!!!!
Activision CEO Bobby Kotick spoke today at the Morgan Stanley Technology Conference about the challenges facing his company, responding to concerns about growth on a few of its key franchises, like Call of Duty and Guitar Hero. While Kotick was wise to avoid revealing specifics, he may have let slip the next artist-focused Guitar Hero title. If true, it may be a very good fit.
He said , "If we're [...] creating a whole new group of consumers, six to eleven year old consumers, who are being exposed to Aerosmith for the first time or Van Halen for the first time, whatever that might be we need to capture much more of that upside opportunity."
Now, Kotick may just be a big fan of Eddie Van Halen, but the profits to be had selling a licensed Kramer 5150 Guitar Hero guitar controller may have just gotten Bobby a bit too excited. Based on what the Activision CEO said, expect more artist-only titles, and consider Van Halen a fairly safe bet.

Just don't go after the real heroes, like Hendrix or Zappa.
God. Please, no.
In the 80's, we all learned just how how easy it was to recreate an entire band with a Casio. This doesn't seem that different to me. It's Karaoke for the fingers. It's not real and never will be. - 4 years ago

So I take it you like Guitar Hero... In that case, you should check out this current pod, Plasticky Goodness, about the Guitar Zeros -- a band taking the video game to a whole new level.
