Bret Michaels, frontman for the hair-rock outfit Poison and star of some VH1 show that’s too embarrassing to admit that I know the title of, has been granted “legendary” status by Activision. Similar to ex-Guns n’ Roses guitarist Slash, the singer will make a virtual appearance in Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock. In addition to the Poison track “Talk Dirty To Me”, one of Michaels’ solo efforts, “Go That Far”, will be included in the final setlist. Crap. It sucks.

Mr. Michaels’ “signature moves” were actually mo-capped from the former Poison rocker as he did his “thing.” If you want to read how genuinely excited Bret was to be asked to be in the game, hit the press release after the gallery. It’s precious.
