First Ever Gaming Guitar is Inducted into the Historic Hard Rock Hall of Fame by the UK's Biggest Kiss Fan

To mark the launch of Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock, the first ever gaming guitar has been inducted in to the legendary Hard Rock Hall of Fame by the UK’s biggest Kiss Fan Kevin Curtis. A member of the world’s longest running KISS tribute band, Kevin was on hand to unveil the guitar which was framed and signed by the game’s narrator, living rock legend and KISS co-founder Gene Simmons. The gaming controller now sits alongside historic memorabilia from such rock royalty as The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix and Elvis Presley, where Guitar Hero has taken its rightful place in the pantheon of rock music lore as part of the Hard Rock Hall of Fame.

Marc Carey from Hard Rock Europe added:

Guitar Hero is a rock n roll icon and has made an incredible impact on the music industry. We are delighted to be part of the Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock launch and to be inducting such an influential piece of music and gaming memorabilia into our collection. Hard Rock owns over 79,000 pieces of authentic music memorabilia that are proudly displayed in our cafes, hotels and casinos around the world. I have no doubt that one of the brand-new guitar controllers signed by Gene Simmons will be a welcome addition.
