Jfarrari posted this on his Instagram story after being announced for Stage Tour So rad seeing artists excited to be in our game 🥹

Jfararri on Instagram: "As a kid, Guitar Hero III meant the world to me. I would stay up until 3am, failing "Through the Fire and Flames" on Expert over and over until I couldn't feel my fingertips. (I finally beat it in 2021 btw as an adult 😭)

That game completely changed my taste in music and inspired me to pick up a guitar. Honestly, I don't think I'd be where I am today without it.

So being included in Stage Tour is surreal. The idea that one of my songs could inspire someone else to start a band, write their first song, or simply fall in love with rock music the way I did - that means more to me than I can put into words.

Thank you to everyone at Red Octane for believing in my music, and thank you to all of you for making moments like this possible. I can't wait for you guys to play The Unknowing"

One of the biggest goals with Stage Tour's setlist: Providing a chance to discover new rock/metal artists for folks to fall in love with Hope folks dig these as much as we do. Some real bangers here.

Unbelievable management failure for this to happen. Never could've expected Ubisoft San Fransisco to be shutting down Immediate thoughts to the Rocksmith team. Many talented people there

Remember the classic meme ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US from Zero Wing? Freemode Embracer, parent company of CRKD (reborn Red Octane), also has the rights to Zero Wing What a wild timeline

Embracer Freemode list of brands and licensed IPs on their website: https://embracer.com/about/operative-groups/freemode/

Community looked into CRKD, the newly reborn Red Octane, and found something unbelievable Apparently their parent company, Embracer Freemode, also owns Middle Earth Enterprises Lord of the Rings Guitar Hero controllers possible??
