GNRDaily.com has issued the following report:

"Famous rockers such as GUNS N' ROSES and VAN HALEN are said to be fleshing out deals to capitalise on the popularity of Guitar Hero and Rock Band.

That's according to Front Line Managemet boss Irving Azoff, who was speaking to the Wall Street Journal. Those groups, alongside others such as THE EAGLES and STEELY DAN, "all have deals of varying types in the works with one or the other or both of these companies" said Azoff, referring to Activision and MTV.

The Front Line music label has Aerosmith among others on its books.

The reason Azoff believes videogames deals are becoming so popular is money. "[They] can be much more lucrative than anything you can do in the record business," he said.

f***in douche-fags. GNR has yet to come out with their album and they're(excuse me, "HE's") asking for a entire GNR based game? f*** that. Van Halen I would rather not see made into one either; lest it sully the power of the crazy shenaniganizing solo's that spawned from them.

Goddamn you Metal gods, how dare you let this travesty pass....

Does anyone remember the Ozzy Osbourne game that was announced years ago but never came to be (or if it did I never heard of it)? It was meant to be an adventure game or something. Whatever happened to that idea?

This whole Guitar Hero thing is starting to irritate me. I mean GH1 & GH2 were cool because the songs were played by humans and not a computer. As for the songlists?...they were amazing and not some gay trend music like in GH3 & Rock Band. Rock Band can sukk my a$$ for all I care. Then they come out with GH Aerosmith then Metallica?...this is fukking ridiculous!

An Ozzy adventure game - never heard of it, nut sounds promising. Perhaps it will include memorable moments from his life, like the time he tried to strangle his delightful wife.

Yeah the idea for the Ozzy game was the levels were gonna be based off Ozzy's songs, kinda like Ed Hunter if I remember rightly but more of an adventure game. This was years ago this was mentioned so I don;t see anything coming of it now.
