In a proxy statement filed with the Security and Exchange Commission, game developer Activision has perhaps inadvertently revealed that its next planned full-band Guitar Hero installment is Guitar Hero: Metallica, no doubt focusing on the powerful riffs, double kick-fueled aggression, and sheer volume of the well known hard rock band. Although Metallica’s forceful music is perhaps a perfect fit for much of Guitar Hero’s male, teenage demographic, long-time fans may still be smarting from the band’s lawsuit-riddled reaction to Napster, reticence to make its music availabe via iTunes, and general resistance to the digital music world.
