Speaking to Rolling Stone, Slash, former Guns N’ Roses lead guitarist and current lead guitarist for Velvet Revolver, has let slip that a Jimmy Hendrix Guitar Hero title is in the works.

“Well, having the Aerosmith guys do it was very cool ’cause Aerosmith’s one of the bands I was heavily influenced by,” said Slash. “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.”

This backs up comments made earlier this year by Janie Hendrix.

“Guitar Hero really was on the ball and they were biting at the bit to get this out this year, so, we just accommodated them,” Janie Hendrix told Rolling Stone. “Jimi was a kid at heart – he definitely would have played these games.”

Slash also told Rolling Stone that he would like to see Guitar Hero titles for AC/DC, Cheap Trick and Judas Priest.

A representative for Activision refused to deny the rumour, telling us it “doesn’t

comment on rumour and speculation.”
