Rock Band and Guitar Hero now for girls, too

According to recent statistics, girls can like, totally rock now. Thankfully, PDP has teamed up with Radio Disney mainstays Aly & AJ to create some seriously rockin' game controllers for the PS2 and Wii. Due out mid-October and priced at a rockin' $69.99, tweenage Guitar Hero and Rock Band fans can choose either the rockin' pink Strat-looking guitar with red skull and crossbones motif, or the totally rockin' pink heart-shaped guitar with purple zebra print. Check out the rockin' video after the break. And rock on!

I actually lost count how many times you said 'rockin''

[Bob @ Sep 25th 2008 8:53AM]

Eh, they only said some form of "rock" about 7 times in less than 2 minutes (unless I can't count or it's too early).

[Kris @ Sep 25th 2008 8:26AM]

Everyone knows girls don't play video games

[Greg Mardon @ Sep 25th 2008 8:36AM]

yea i call fake.

[Kieran @ Sep 25th 2008 8:28AM]

I've never seen the word "rockin" so many times in such a short period of time.

[Backlin @ Sep 25th 2008 8:33AM]

Most of the girls I know would probably take the Explorer over these.

[y3k.nik @ Sep 25th 2008 8:48AM]

I will second that!

[Liam @ Sep 25th 2008 8:49AM]

But it's pink, right? Girls like pink. Obv.

[Muhammad-Oli @ Sep 25th 2008 8:36AM]

Girls don't get time to play Guitar Hero while they're rockin' on up to the kitchen...

[sean dailey @ Sep 25th 2008 8:41AM]

that's actually a telecaster-based guitar, not a strat. regardless, the headstock is wrong for both.

[Virginia Wolf @ Sep 25th 2008 8:41AM]

So there are girls with no lives out there? Nice.

[telepheedian @ Sep 25th 2008 12:48PM]

Good news for us, I suppose.

[qwerty613 @ Sep 25th 2008 8:42AM]

Ow! My eyes!

[iEye @ Sep 25th 2008 8:45AM]

They should paint cars Pink also, it would boost female sales...


I have a list of cars that are allready girly... I hope to offend...
-Miata
-Golf
-MB C320
-PT cruizer
-Chevrolet Cobalt
-anything with parking assist

[Shotgun @ Sep 25th 2008 9:04AM]

You forgot a few.

Mitsubishi Eclipse

Chevy HH

Nissan Murano

Honda Civic ..Yes I know, let the riots begin

[fistpittingnork @ Sep 25th 2008 9:12AM]

Toyota Celica

Pocket sized SUVs (CR-V, Escape, etc)

2004 V6 Mustang (usually white or red)

Hyundai Tiburon

[Boarderwoot @ Sep 25th 2008 9:27AM]

@iEye: that last one made cereal come out of my nose.

[Shotgun @ Sep 25th 2008 9:47AM]

I forgot one..

VW Beetle

[Kate @ Sep 25th 2008 2:07PM]

I'm not sure if I'm offended, but I do drive a black Cobalt LT2 coupe. It was an affordable new car with good acceleration and handling, passable fuel economy for a domestic, and good crash-safety ratings. Parts are cheaper and easier to find than they were for my old Volkswagen, which is nice because I do my own maintenance and minor swaps. I'm not sure if girly girls would really like it though, because the visor mirrors aren't lighted. It also has tons of trunk space, including plenty of room for my real guitar, banjo, and horn. (Will they ever make Horn Star? There are tons of killer horn solos out there.)

On the controls, I think these things are aimed at the Hannah Montana set...who else would even know who those girls are?

[Brian @ Sep 25th 2008 8:51AM]

I'll take one of each please.

Wait, what?

On a more serious note, all this hoopla about Guitar Hero/Rock Band/ChristianRockExtravaganzaGameThing reminds me of Beanie Babies and such. It's like this huge craze, until the market becomes overly saturated and no one cares anymore because there is no innovation.

[Nomi @ Sep 25th 2008 9:16AM]

I'm pretty sure one of them is jailbait...

[SOOPERGOOMAN @ Sep 25th 2008 9:26AM]

Rockin' Jailbait or Rockin' masturbate! You be the judge

[phanbouy @ Sep 25th 2008 9:51AM]

Gooman for the fail yet again

[bloggersmosaic @ Sep 25th 2008 5:54PM]

will i think its really kool!

[Ryan @ Sep 25th 2008 9:27AM]

Is that the chick from 24?

[Miranda Kali @ Sep 25th 2008 9:17AM]

Two questions...
Has Joan Jett been notified?
...And when do we launch the offensive?

I'm gonna go buy ammo and sharpen my swords while I wait to hear back..

[kait @ Nov 8th 2008 5:38PM]

Right on! I'd been unaware that rock band was not for girls before this! Silly me, thinking I could play on a standard guitar! No one notified me I had to wait for the pink version! I mean, I had thought that since a girl was on the development team for this, that it automatically meant girls were allowed....

Now if they had mentioned Rock Band had become girl friendlier by adding more songs with female vocalists, that would be something!

But pink guitars? please.

[Garth @ Sep 25th 2008 9:20AM]

Is just my sick mind, or doesn't that "heart" shaped guitar look like a pair of...ummm... "danglers" when held at that angle....or maybe it could be an @$$.
Either way it looks like the designer was going for some subliminal imagery there.
It's the perfect accessory for any tweenage girl!

[Rob Bourne @ Sep 25th 2008 10:23AM]

Haha, I didn't notice that until you mentioned it.

Bravo, Sir.

[Jon Nelson @ Sep 25th 2008 2:12PM]

I get the sense that by censoring the word "ass" in that ridiculous way, that you might be a tweenager yourself.

Your mom's not going to read your comment. You don't have to censor yourself.

[Joe @ Sep 25th 2008 9:19AM]

I'd like to see her heart shaped box.

[Vorsaga @ Sep 25th 2008 9:21AM]

Alright! I was waiting for a hot pink guitar so I could finally play this game everyone's talking about! I mean, the black just clashes with my outfit.

You're gonna have to pony up some rhinestones, though, if you want me to play on anything other than easy.

[Lia @ Sep 25th 2008 6:32PM]

And a matching one for my dog, please.

[Zinger314 @ Sep 25th 2008 9:26AM]

What guitars? I don't see any guitars. ;)

[Neeko @ Sep 25th 2008 9:34AM]

Keep it moving , nothing to see people.

[frankXchange @ Sep 25th 2008 9:39AM]

If you're not that ambitious but still want to party, they also have Rock Groupi (TM). It comes with leopard leotards, stiletto knee-high leatherette boots, hair spray, deluxe make-up kit with extra eye shadow and mascara, a small mirror, a straw and a vial of baking powder. Rock on!

[DssTrainer @ Sep 25th 2008 9:49AM]

I think a simple Pink faceplate would have sufficed for the 10% of females that play

[Vader582 @ Sep 25th 2008 10:12AM]

You forgot:
Hummer
Suburban
Any post-60s Mustang
Any mini-van
Any 2 door Acura

On-topic:
Who the hell are these 2 wenches?
Do they just give handout recording contracts to anyone who is semi-attractive now?

[Wang Tang @ Sep 25th 2008 10:19AM]

Yes.

[Metamorphic @ Sep 25th 2008 10:21AM]

The girl on the right is just holding a huge penis.

[Rob Bourne @ Sep 25th 2008 10:24AM]

Disney do.

[cmetom @ Sep 25th 2008 10:27AM]

Rockband can be for girls definitely, but not GH3. The skanky outfits and stupid background dancing girls in cages is extremely offensive and every girl I know who plays GH/RB hates that stuff. Personally I also find it lame. Neversoft / Activision are frucking moron a$$holes.

[NiceTouch @ Sep 25th 2008 10:54AM]

Just Released - New Rock Band and Guitar Hero add-on: Groupie Pack - Are you tired of your face-melting performances going mostly un-noticed? With our new Groupie Pack, you can finally achieve the 'rock star' status you've been craving...

[w4rh34rt @ Sep 25th 2008 10:58AM]

Do those girls come with the guitars? That would be ohso amazing!

[Ian @ Sep 26th 2008 2:48PM]

unless your over 18...

[goober_nut @ Sep 25th 2008 10:58AM]

You beat me to that one..

[Blackstar @ Sep 25th 2008 11:03AM]

What is truly 'rockin' is I am so proud that I have no idea who the hell these people are.

[Dauthi @ Sep 25th 2008 11:08AM]

I think these are intended for the college party circuit. The majority of girl gamers are going to vomit upon first glance of these monstrosities, but I can very well see this appealing to sorority girls who are partying at the frat house. But the question still remains: who the hell is going to buy these Barbie guitars?

[CJ @ Sep 25th 2008 12:13PM]

This is just silly. Everybody knows there's no such thing as girls...
