Activision confirm that legendary guitarist Tom Morello will guest start as a boss character in the upcoming game.

Activision has now confirmed rumors the award-winning guitarist Tom Morello (from Range against the Machine and Audioslave) will guest star as a boss character in Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock.

"Whenever I play Guitar Hero my opponent always kicks my ass on my own riffs. It's embarrassing," said Morello.

"Now that I'm actually IN the game I hope the digital me will win once in awhile!"

Boss battles in Legends of Rock require players to deplete their opponents ‘Rock Meter’ before they enter into their ‘Death Drain solo’, which would essentially spell game over for the player!

"We are thrilled to have two guitar icons of our generation on board to be bosses in Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock," said Tim Riley, worldwide executive of music.

"Both Morello and Slash went into the studio and created mind-blowing original recordings designed to be challenging for even the expert players."
