Lemmy. Lemmy Kilmister. Lead singer, bass player and founder of Motörhead. The man is a living legend. But did you ever wonder, amongst the admiration for songs with names like “Killed By Death”, whether the man plays video games?
Musical artist news that doesn’t involve Rock Band or Guitar Hero? Bizarre! Almost as bizarre as the news itself. Motörhead frontman Lemmy is establishing a base of operations and a virtual rock arena in the virtual world of Entropia Universe. Launching alongside the CryENGINE 2 powered Entropia Universe update, Lemmy’s Castle is more than just a series of Lemmy-themed rooms. It’s your gateway into Lemmy’s private army! The castle will be defended by guardians that drop rare Motörhead armour parts, a full set of which will allow you access to the castle’s inner sanctum, where you will be eligible to join Lemmy’s Army. Membership allows players to chat with Lemmy on the army’s private channel and compete in quests that will ear you special Motörhead prizes, both virtual and real.
Meanwhile, in Motörhead Stadium, fans will gain access to exclusive metal and rock concerts, both pre-recorded and broadcast live from around the world. Hit the jump for the full details on this rather odd team-up.
Activision are running a little Guitar Hero competition. An awesome Guitar Hero competition. It’s an air guitar (well, fake-plastic-guitar-playing) contest, where entrants have to fake rocking out to a track in front of Activision for a shot at appearing as a character in the next Guitar Hero game. That’s not the awesome part. No, that comes now: the comp’s judge is Lemmy. Yeah, Lemmy. Brilliant.
