Motörhead’s Lemmy Kilmister has had quite the career. He’s been successful with Motörhead voice of doom. Dude’s so famous and well-known that evenhis mole has a MySpace page.
Now, Kilmister can add being in a videogame to his resume. Activision has revealed that he’ll be appearing as a digitized and “playable” character in the upcomingGuitar Hero: Metallica. A re-recording of the Motörhead song “Ace of Spades” will appear in the game as well.
“It’s great to be inGuitar Herowith all these famous people,” he says, “and I’m really pleased to be in it with Metallica … but James [Hetfield] is still taller than me.”
While Kilmister could be referring to the “famous people” in previousGuitar Herotitles (Jimi Hendrix, Slash, and Sting among others), there’s been hints that more digitized musicians may make appearances. The theatrical rockerKing Diamond has hintedthat there’s be a big surprise for his fans inGuitar Hero: Metallica, which could mean he’ll be available in the game, alongside Kilmister.
The game ships soon enough — this March for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 — so it won’t be long until all is revealed.
