Rumour control here, after teaming up with Aerosmith and Metallica ever wondered who would be next for the Guitar Hero treatment? Well during an interview with Rolling Stone, guitar legend himself Slash had this to say on the subject of the Activision series
“Well, having the Aerosmith guys do it was very cool ’cause Aerosmith’s one of the bands I was heavily influenced by. And Metallica’s doing it, that’s great. Those are two ones that I think gives it some credibility. And they’re doing a Hendrix one, which is great.”
Now coming just a couple of months after Jennie Hendrix, who runs the Hendrix estate, had confirmed that tracks had been supplied to Activision and had authorized an official Hendrix avatar for the game. I think it’s perhaps fair to assume this one is more than a rumour but as to what form, stand alone or dlc, any Jimi Hendrix content would take we’ll just have to wait and see.

If Slash is correct that means no Hendrix for Rock Band :(. I think i’d actually buy a Hendrix themed Guitar Hero though.
