Air Guitaring just got a whole lot more exciting

There's a lot of hatred being directed toward the new Guitar Hero Air Guitar Rocker, a device from Jada Toys (available in March) which allows its operator to air guitar "out loud," if you will. Most of it seems to be coming from outraged Guitar Hero fans, who apparently find the idea ridiculous, even reprehensible, thinking it will somehow dilute the brand. While we're not surprised to see the reaction, especially when the first glimpse of it in action came courtesy of this guy at this week's Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, we don't think it's much sillier than standing in front of a screen with a plastic guitar. And to be perfectly honest, we couldn't be happier that all of our Bill and Ted-inspired fantasies are now going to be realized. Ladies and gentlemen, air guitaring just got a whole lot more exciting.


                                                 Fuck Yeah.
