Activision may be gearing up for a grand reveal at E3 next month, but that doesn’t mean the studio can’t grant backstage passes to budding Guitar Hero Live fans in order to tease some details ahead of time.
Part and parcel of the series’ lucrative success a generation ago was the songs featured on the set list, and developer FreeStyleGames – creative minds behind 2009’s spinoff DJ Hero – is ensuring that Live‘s soundtrack is just as memorable, with the likes of Ed Sheeran, Fall Out Boy and Rage Against The Machine toplining the game’s early set list.
That said, the music scene isn’t what it was a decade ago when the franchise first debuted, and Guitar Hero Live will reflect the new tones and tastes of 2015, all the while retaining some old school classics for good measure.

Activision has finally let us in on Guitar Hero Live, and it looks like an incredible update in theory, and graphics.
It’s a whole new world this time around, and the game is a completely immersive experience, as a crowd of fans react as you play (see video above).
The game also has a completely new idea in a “controller,” as the guitar now has two rows of three buttons, and at higher levels has players using chord-like combinations. According to the games notes, this creates a gameplay experience that is both easier and harder.

A source tells us that "100 percent, nothing happened, nothing" between the two. "Joe was in Atlantic City for a meeting about getting a wine that he's involved with into one of the casinos.

[Brightcove "20902902" "" "" "auto"] Always the bouquet-catcher, never the bride. Jamie Jackson, 37, has caught a whopping 46 bridal bouquets - and she's looking to get her hands on an even 50. Luckily for us, the soon-to-be Guinness World Record holder has some tips for those of you looking to test out that whole "next-to-be-married" myth - even though Jackson has "crushed" the validity of the myth herself, as she previously told People.

If wedding bouquet-catching were an Olympic sport, a special spot would be reserved for Jamie Jackson at the top of the podium. The 37-year-old Salt Lake City, Utah, woman has been to more than 80 weddings, catching the bridal bouquet a record 46 times, edging out other single women in the room like a defensive back intercepting a touchdown pass. The irony, of course, is that Jackson is still single. "I've pretty much crushed that 'next-to-be-married' myth," she tells People. "I've had boyfriends, sure. But I'm liking the single life. Besides, if I were married, I'd have to give up my favorite sport.

Rumours are circulating this evening that Man Utd have finally lost patience with manager David Moyes.
It is being widely reported by a host of national papers that ‘The Chosen One’ will be given his marching orders after another dismal display, this time against his former side on Sunday. When pressed on Moyes’ long term future at Utd, a club spokesperson would only confirm that the ex-Everton man had not been sacked and that there would be no comment on the growing speculation.
With only four games left in the current campaign, The Daily Mail have gone as far to report that Moyes will be sacked before the end of the season, and The Daily Mirror assert that if this is the case, Ryan Giggs will be placed in temporary charge of the first team. The Telegraph are reporting that Jurgen Klopp is the favoured replacement for Moyes,...
