Bret Michaels, front man for 80s Metal band Poison, has been confirmed to be starring in upcoming shred-em-up, Guitar Hero III.

Joining the ranks of legendary Guns N’ Roses guitarist, and Velvet Revolver front man, Slash, Bret Michaels will be fully animated and provide vocals for cult Poison track ‘Talk Dirty To Me’, and a track from his solo career.

In the game, Slash will be a ‘Boss’, who you presumably have a guitar-off with at a certain stage in the game. Like a cross between the Guitar Hero multiplayer, and dodgy 80s guitar movie Crossroads featuring Ralph ‘The Karate Kid’ Macchio and legendary virtuoso guitarist Steve Vai.

Guitar Hero III is set to be released on 29th October in the USA, and still has surprises to come before this date.

Stay tuned.
