We've heard quite a lot of celebrities brag about being into video games and how they love to unwind by playing some of the most popular titles that can be found on the market today.
Beyonce was the most recent one, as she admitted to rocking out in Guitar Hero when she has the time.
But this doesn't mean that celebrities are very good at gaming, as
Metallica's famous drummer Lars Ulrich has just admitted to Blender to using cheat codes for both Guitar Hero and Rock Band in order to unlock the songs of his own group in order for his children to play them.
It seems that, because he couldn't unlock the songs as he didn't get a good enough score on previous attempts, his children believed that Metallica songs weren't even in the game. He then resorted to calling one of the developers in order to ask him for some cheat codes and prove his children that the legendary band was in the two games.
“The problem was that on Guitar Hero 3, we were never good enough to earn our way to play “One.” So after a couple of months, my kids didn’t actually believe there was a Metallica song in this [...] game, so I had to call the guys: “Can we get the cheat codes, please?” And the same thing with “Enter Sandman” on Rock Band. I’ll tell you a little secret about the gaming industry: You know who gave me the cheat codes to Rock Band? The guy at Guitar Hero! Isn’t it nice how they all sort of work together in a perverse way?”
It's quite nice to hear that even famous musicians still have a hard time mastering music games. Perhaps this will leave
Guitar Hero and Rock Band players with a smile on their faces and the thought that they are actually better than Lars Ulrich at those games.
