Buckethead, Rush – Featured On CBS Guitar Hero II Show; Trailer Video Posted
This Sunday, July 29th at 12pm ET/9am PT, CBS will be showing some of the best Guitar Hero II players in North America, as they compete for a piece of the $90,000 prize pot at the WSVG Louisville circuit stop. At the WSVG, the top prizes aren’t awarded to the players with only the highest scores but rather to the most accurate, stylish and energetic performances as determined by a panel of celebrity judges including MTV Style VJ Coltrane Curtis, legendary video game composer Tommy Tallarico, and Becky “Aktrez” Young, leading lady of the Girl Gaming Network.
The event attracted players such as David ‘WuLFe’ Briers, the number one player on the XBOX leaderboards, Nikolai ‘Kov’ Shish and Kelly ‘Tipper Queen’ Law-Yone. Catch a glimpse of Kov playing a rendition of REVEREND HORTON HEAT’s “Psychobilly Freakout” here, as he tries to one-up WuLFe’s performance of RUSH’s “YYZ” in the finals. Kov and WuLFe end up battling it out with a performance of BUCKETHEAD’s “Jordan,” the hardest song in Guitar Hero II.
The show will also feature footage from the circuit’s other games, World of Warcraft and EA Sports Fight Night Round 3. A teaser video of the show has been posted on YouTube.
In related news, the WSVG has announced a new event in Toronto, Canada on August 24-26th at the Canadian Fan Expo, held in the Metro Toronto Convention Centre. Over $11,000 in cash and travel will be given away to Guitar Hero II competitors, with several guest celebrities scheduled to appear at the event including legendary director George Romero, Batman’s Adam West, Lord of The Rings star Sean Astin and Star Wars‘ Hayden Christensen. Registration and more information can be found on the WSVG Toronto event page.

Buckethead wooooo!
He still didn’t get a perfect. What noob!
I can only beat medium. :( Oh, but I like to occasionally have sex, which cuts into my Guitar Hero II playing time.
Who am I kidding? I don’t have a girlfriend.
