Guitar Hero pulls a 'Tom Cruise' with coaches

MARCH 31, 2009

Bob Knight, Mike Krzyzewski, Roy Williams ... and Metallica ... you are MY guitar heroes. I appreciate the Risky Business tribute here. I just wish Rick Pitino had shouted out "Joel, get off the babysitter!"

Activision is working on overdrive these days, pimping their Guitar Hero video game with the likes of Michael Phelps, Alex Rodriguez and Heidi Klum. Now it's a slew of legendary NCAA hoops colleges jamming out to Bob Seger only to be rudely interrupted by James Hetfield and his Metallica cronies. It's almost enough to make me watch college hoops again.

Instead, I'm off to Target to buy Guitar Hero right now. Thank you for finally pushing me over the edge. (I guess I'm tired of waiting for the Spandau Ballet edition).
