Inductee of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Bootsy Collins rose
to fame with his unique bass techniques to become one of the
leading names in music. Bootsy played alongside “The
Godfather of Soul” James Brown and George Clinton while being
hugely influential to other famous bass players including Flea (Red
Hot Chili Peppers), Roberto Trujillo (Metallica) and Les Claypool
(Primus).
Bootsy joins the growing roster of
BandFuse: Rock Legends’ “Rock Legends,”
which includes Slash, the
iconic Grammy-winning musician and former lead guitarist
of Guns N’ Roses, who serves as the game's master guitar
instructor; Zakk Wylde, lead guitarist of Black Label Society who
played with Ozzy Osbourne for many years; and Jason Hook and Zoltan
Bathory from Five Finger Death Punch. These Legends will mentor
players and help them navigate through the game’s features to
build a rock star following and fine-tune their playing skills.
BandFuse: Rock Legends seamlessly connects real guitars,
basses and microphones to game consoles, empowering players to jam
to a huge selection of hits in a fun game environment. Players of
all skill levels can tap into the rock experience by using the
unique
BandFuse: Rock Legends animated tablature (tabs)
interface, which simplifies the learning process for novice
musicians while allowing advanced musicians to perform songs as the
artists intended. The game’s four player co-op mode will let
players connect two guitars, one bass and a microphone
simultaneously and provide each player with detailed feedback from
the BandFuse analytics engine.
