Wired Opens NYC Store 11/21, Q&A With Rock Band CEO

Tue, Nov 18, 2008 at 4:13 pm by Jen Posted in Events

Wired magazine is setting up a new shop here in New York City later this week and if you’re in the area, you may want to attend. Harmonix CEO Alex Rigopulos will be joining Wired’s Chris Kohler at 7pm for an hour of Games: The Future of Music, a talk about the rise of music games, where they’ve been, where they’re going.  Also planned is an audience Q&A, so if you have something Rock Band related on your mind, you may want to RSVP for the event.

The new store will be located at 15 West 18th St in the city.

    Guitar Hero Billy Corgan Underwhelms Best Buy Execs at GHWT Launch Party

    Mon, Oct 27, 2008 at 11:12 am by Jen Posted in Guitar Hero, Guitar Hero: World Tour

    At the beginning of this month, we featured self-described “American Gothic” band Smashing Pumpkins’ frontman Billy Gorgan getting mo-capped for his debut in Guitar Hero World Tour.  As a playable character, he joins the game along with his music including their new single G.L.O.W.   While it looks like he’s happy to be in the game, that doesn’t necessarily mean he was planning to play their most mainstream hits when hired to do the Guitar Hero World Tour launch party itself.

    An article in the LA Times reports that for the $100,000 paycheck he received for the Guitar Hero event, Corgan rewarded the crowd only with Siva - a song from their first album “Gish”  and Tarantula from their 7th album “Zeitgeist”.  After a crowd request for some “oldschool… 1979“, Corgan seemed to decide to go in a different direction and filled the rest of the set with some of their newest darker material .
