The greatest guitar hero of all time finally will rock Guitar Hero. The animated likeness of Jimi Hendrix and the late axeman's songs "Purple Haze" and "The Wind Cries Mary" will be featured in the Guitar Hero: World Tour video game, due out this fall. "Jimi was a kid at heart -- he definitely would have played these games," says Hendrix's adopted stepsister, Janie.

Metallica's James Hetfield discussed the meaning of the title of his band's upcoming album, Death Magnetic, in a recent interview. "It started out as a tribute to people who have fallen in our business, like [late Alice in Chains frontman] Layne Stayley," explains the singer-guitarist. "Some people are drawn towards [death], just like a magnet, and other people are afraid of it and push away." Click here to check out Death Magnetic's provocative cover art.
