Dude could be replaced by a lady

What are your thoughts about having a woman fill in for Aerosmith's Steven Tyler? Some people may say that there was already a chick fronting the band, but that's just silly as people pick on the very feminine characteristics of Tyler. But, Joe Perry, when asked, said the band hasn't yet thought of that. The question did, however, spark consideration from Perry to have a woman fill the man's shoes saying it's good to think outside the box (some people would say that Perry is thinking inside the box). Perry has worked with woman fronting with bands before Aerosmith and has nothing but good things to say. So it is possible that the aging, yet legendary crew could be fronted by a woman. Maybe they could get Liv Tyler to fill in for her father … She has the lips for it.

New Guitar Hero tunes

Get ready to download some more popular tunes from Guitar Hero so you can learn to shred like the pros, virtually. February 18th, Guitar Hero will have a bunch of Black Sabbath tunes available to download for the first time, and by a bunch I mean three. The heavy metal pioneers who are also Hall of Fame inductees will hit the stage performing “After Forever,” “Sweet Leaf,” and “Master of Reality.” So, be sure to get Guitar Hero 5 and download the Black Sabbath Track Pack.

Fear Campaign

Have you been itching for some new Fear Factory? The video for what appears to be the first single from the new album has been released online. See the video for “Fear Campaign” here. Fear Factory's forthcoming attempt “Mechanize” will be released next week from Candlelight Records, but you can listen to the entire album online at the band's MySpace page.
