"Where there's music, there's Guitar Hero, and there are countless Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees who've appeared in Guitar Hero," said Activision's Dusty Welch. "We are absolutely thrilled by the opportunity to offer visitors a chance to live out their fantasies by playing tracks from the artists they are paying homage to."

Steve Dobo of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame added, "We're incredibly excited about this partnership. Activision's support not only helps us tell the guitar chapter of the rock and roll story, but it also gives our visitors a chance to step onto the virtual stage and kick out some jams while they're here."
