For all the Lego geeks out there, here’s something that might tickle your fancy-a Lego guitar.

I don’t know if this can actually be played or if the neck can withstand the pressure but it is nice to look at.

The good thing about this guitar is if you get bored with the design you know you can stick a few blocks in there to change it up a bit.


Here is a fully functioning Fender Bass Guitar Hero (PS2) guitar made of LEGO created by the same guy who made the LEGO Gibson Explorer controller.

When I was growing up I didn’t want to be a doctor or a lawyer like 50 percent of the students in my class. I’ve always wanted to be a great guitar player and if that’s not possible my second choice was to be a mercenary. If all else failed I can always be an underwear model.

Until now, I never thought doing all three was possible.

This picture proves that dreams do come true.

A true guitar hero.

The 35-year-old model strips to her underwear and performs a scene from from the film Risky Business in the commercial, which has proved an internet hit. This is the second installment from the Guitar Hero - Risky Business ads that activision has released.

“The problem is head banging, right. I felt like someone hit me in the car. I had backlash.” the actress said on an interview with Ellen Degenes.

After Ellen corrected her by suggesting she meant whiplash, Heidi added: “The next day I couldn’t move anything. Then I had like a rug burn, for the wrong reasons, because I had to jump off the table and land on my knees with the guitar.

“It literally went for five hours straight, but it was fun.”

Just like Cruise in Risky Business, Klum starts off in a white shirt and socks but then peels off the shitr to reveal black underwear.

The Victoria’s Secret model, who is married to the singer Seal, appears in the advert for new video game Guitar Hero: World Tour.

The director’s cut has received more than 1.5 million views on YouTube.

Since this is a kid-friendly site, here is the more wholesome version of the ad with Heidi wearing a shirt and undies:

The guitar by Aly features a heart and cross bone print in pink and brown. AJ’s guitar is in the shape of the Aly & AJ heart logo in bright pink with purple zebra print. (PDP is launching two guitar controllers with one size aimed at tweens ages 8 to 12 and other for teens and older.)

Guitar Hero:World Tour is released to the world today, but it wasn’t until Tim Riley was standing in a London recording studio watching the seminal 1970s punk band the Sex Pistols rerecord their smash hit Anarchy in the U.K. that he realized just how popular Guitar Hero had become.

To include songs on Guitar Hero, the makers need the master tapes to the recording. The only problem was the master recording to the Sex Pistols hit song Anarchy in the U.K. had been lost for four decades.

Much to his surprise, the surviving members of the band offered to go back into the studio – something they hadn’t done in 30 years – just to record a song for a video game where players rock out on plastic guitars in time with colored dots on a screen.

“It was the craziest thing ever,” he said. “I never thought something like that could happen.”

Tuesday marks the beginning of the latest chapter in the unlikely story of Guitar Hero, with the release of its latest incarnation, Guitar Hero: World Tour.
