rock&roll_026_jimi_hendrix The Guitar Hero craze is reaching fever pitch, as more and more games are in the pipeline. Speaking on tribute games like Metallica and Aerosmith versions of the game, former Guns n’ Roses guitarist Slash let slip that a Jimi Hendrix one is also in development.

“Those are two ones [Metallica and Aerosmith] that I think gives it some credibility. And they’re doing a Hendrix one, which is great,” he is quoted as saying to Rolling Stone.

Jimi Hendrix is one of the greatest guitarist of all time. That is all the information you need on him.

Slash also talked about the whole plastic guitar world in the interview, noting AC/DC to be the best band to fit into the series.

Activision is yet to confirm anything about Guitar Hero: Jimi Hendrix.
