Funeral for an Air Guitar

Last night the humble air guitar was put to rest at a dignified ceremony in Hoxton. Famed for its appearances in such Hollywood films as Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure and Tenacious D in: The Pick of Destiny, the air guitar has left two sons, Guitar Hero and Guitar Hero II.

The ceremony was a fitting tribute, with poetry readings and celebrities in attendance.

The coffin was solemnly carried in by some lovely pallbearers for cremation.

“Slash” played a moving tribute of popular rock solos.

If you would like to leave your own tribute to the late Air Guitar, its descendant Guitar Hero II is available for the PS2 from today.

Edit: Woo, I’m famous! Check me out at you NEWB, where they’ve posted the press photos of the air guitar funeral. I’m the one with the bandanna in the last picture. A small version of the same pic was also used at GameSHOUT. Must be coz I’m so cute in my fluffy coat, right? Heehee…
