Fans Line the Streets at Midnight on Election Day Casting Votes for Hottest New Video Game & Meet Rock Guitarist, Dave Navarro

(Bender Helper Impact) -- As parents are lining up at stores across the country to buy the hottest holiday toy for tots, it was a whole other line up at midnight on Election Day. Fans cast their vote for the hottest holiday gift for teens of all ages as it hit store shelves with help from America�s newest kind of hero – a Guitar Hero. Dave Navarro, one of alternative music�s first true guitar heroes (guitarist for legendary bands like Jane�s Addiction and Red Hot Chili Peppers) was busy signing autographs at a Los Angeles Best Buy to launch the release of Guitar Hero II – the highly anticipated sequel to one of the most popular video games of the past year (the original Guitar Hero which has shipped over one million units to date worldwide).

Fresh on the heels of Navarro�s Rock Star: Supernova success and the search for a star, RedOctane�s Guitar Hero II gives Rock n�Roll fans, casual gamers and wannabe rock stars their chance at stardom in their very own living rooms as it features 40 licensed tracks including songs as made famous by Van Halen, Guns N� Roses, Avenged Sevenfold, Motley Crew, Nirvana, Jane�s Addiction and many more!
