Activision's Guitar Hero Metallica Features "Lynyrd Skynrd"


This is one of those things where you just have to shake your head in disbelief and disappointment. The cover for Guitar Hero Metallica features the names of great bands featured in the game. Unfortunately, they somehow managed to misspell one of the biggest bands in the list, Lynyrd Skynyrd. Their song, "Tuesday's Gone", is one of twenty-one in the game not by Metallica.

Activision has since fixed the boxart to show the correct spelling, but this is something they will never live down. Guitar Hero Metallica features full-band instrumentation and is set to release on PS3 and Xbox 360 on March 29 and Q2 2009 for PS2 and Wii.

the Rock Star game makers shouldn't feel too bad, it's a miracle anyone spells Lynyrd Skynyrd's name correctly

Lynyrd Skynyrd may be one of the most hardest/misspelled band names, but I would hope they would at least look it up before posting official box art. Though I suppose they can take solace in that a lot of people have problem spelling it as well.

Though it's only a minor mistake, I'm wondering how embarrassed the cover artist must be to have been caught making such an error. At least it didn't make it to print before the internet made an uproar.
