During the "Loading" scene, the game display different text about the rules and techniques to become a real rock star. One of them is, "Do not eat things that were thrown on stage." This is a classic Rock 'n' Roll reference about Ozzy Osbourne's similar incident. While performing on stage, a fan threw a bat on stage. Ozzy bit the head off it and then he discovered it was a real dead bat!
The game comes with its own custom guitar controller with five buttons on the neck, a whammy bar, and a flipper. It is also tilt sensitive.
Many members of the production team actively play in bands of their own and many of the bonus tracks that can later be unlocked are by these bands.
Ozzy Osbourne is the only musician to have more than one song in the game - one as a member of Black Sabbath (Iron Man) and one as a solo artist (Bark At The Moon.)
If the player hits "Yellow, Blue, Orange (2), Blue, Blue, Yellow, Orange" at the menu screen the "No Fail" cheat will be unlocked which will allow the player to miss notes without their rock meter going down.
