What’s the Guess, Real or Fake?
The Big Lead — We try not to post commercials here - no need to give anyone free advertising - but this was just sent to us, and it has hardly been viewed on YouTube, so maybe it’s new? We’re assuming A-Rod, Kobe and Phelps were all included digitally? No clue. First we’ve seen/heard.

Kobe, Phelps, and A-Rod do Guitar Hero...
yoonewverse — I knew the game was popular, but I never thought i'd see these 3 doing the good ol "Rock N Roll." The yoonewverse is brought to you by yoonew, the Stock Market for Sports Tickets.

Video: Kobe channels Cruise in new 'Guitar Hero' commercial
Ball Don't Lie — Wow. Activision is really pulling out the big guns to pimp their new Guitar Hero video game. Paying tribute to the famous lip-synching scene from "Risky Business," the first commercial features Kobe Bryant rocking the mic, Alex Rodriguez and Michael Phelps on the guitars, and Tony Hawk playing the drums. The Internet (and Shaq) is going to eat this one up. (Thanks to BDL reader James for the heads up. You rock!)

Kobe Bryant Appears In Guitar Hero: World Tour With Michael Phelps, Alex Rodriguez And Tony Hawk
FanIQ Blog — I'm not a big fan of posting videos of commercials, but I'll make an exception in this case. This commercial, which I assume will be hitting your TVs soon, features Kobe Bryant, Michael Phelps, Alex Rodriguez and, uh, a misplaced Tony Hawk for Guitar Hero. It's actually quite entertaining, that is if you can get past the fact that with the exception of Kobe, who's wearing shorts, everyone else is in their underwear. Insert inappropriate Alex Rodriguez joke here. This commercial is obviously based off of Risky Business, the movie that started Tom ...

Kobe Still Likes That Old Time Rock 'N Roll
FanHouse — Filed under: Lakers, Western, NBA VideosThe best part about advertising is that there's a chance you'll see something you would never have thought you'd seen in a million years. Like squirrels talking, or a pirate who deals exclusively with cereal. And then, on some rare occasions, the fates conspire and bring forth, directly to you, an ad that features Kobe Bryant lip-syncing to Bob Seger's "Old Time Rock 'N Roll." Joining him are Tony Hawk, Michael Phelps, and Alex Rodriguez. And now, we bring it to you, via Ball Don't ...

"Guitar Hero World Tour" Incorporates Athletes For Their New "Risky Business" Campaign
AwfulAnnouncing — Guitar Hero has sparked a virtual movement (no pun intended) in the video game world and in promoting their latest release, World Tour, they've turned to athletes A-Rod, Tony Hawk, Michael Phelps and Kobe Bryant, for their first campaign. ...

New Guitar Hero commercial is kinda ghey...
Epic Carnival | Where Sports & Pop Culture Collide — by IFChris, Intentional Foul What we have is the new commercial for Guitar Hero: World Tour featuring the plastic controller musical stylings of Alex Rodriguez, Tony Hawk, Michael Phelps and Kobe Bryant as the lead singer (what else?). It's a twist on the famous Risky Business scene where Tom Cruise goes sliding across the floor in his tighty-whiteies. Fortunately, our current heroes are wearing boxers. Maybe it's me, but evil eye-Kobe just seems a little out of place. H-t to ...

Video: The New Guitar Hero Commerical, Featuring Famous Athletes
MOUTHPIECE Blog // A Chicago-Addled Sports Blog — Activision brainstorming meeting, sometime in the near past. Bill Bixby: Guys, we need a huge splash for the new Guitar Hero World Tour game we’re about to launch. This commercial has got to be good. Dick Gordon: I KNOW BUT WHAT? WHAT WILL IT BE? Hillary Stockton: WHAT ABOUT A COMBINATION OF MUSIC, MOVIES AND SPORTS. PEOPLE LOVE THOSE THINGS. Bill Bixby: Why are you two yelling? Dick Gordon: WHY AREN’T YOU YELLING? Bill Bixby: Are you two drunk? Dick Gordon: YES. VERY DRRRUUUUNNNK. Bill Bixby: ...

Video: Kobe Bryant Pulls a Tom Cruise in Commercial
The Hoop Doctors — October 24th, 2008 - Dr. Dime Was reading Ball Don’t Lie by J.E. Skeets this afternoon and saw a hilarious Kobe Bryant commercial that I just had to share. The commercial is the latest for ‘Guitar Hero 4′, and features a spoof of the underwear singing scene by Tom Cruise in Risky Business. In the commercial spoof you have Kobe Bryant as lead singer, Olympic Gold Swimmer Michael Phelps and NY Yankee Star Alex Rodriguez on Guitar, and Skateboard Legend Tony ...

Kobe Bryant Knows Risky Business
World Hoops Blog — First of all, am I the only one who's fed up with Michael Phelp's country-fed ogrish ass? And why does Tony Hawk need a helmet to play fake drums? Anyway, here's a commercial with Kobe Bryant pimping the new Guitar Hero: Anabolic Steroids edition via an 80's movie motif. Labels: kobe bryant ...

Basketball Exchange — Kobe Bryant, Michael Phelps, Alex Rodriguez and Tony Hawk (!) for Guitar Hero 4. Love it that Hawk is on a skateboard, and Kobe was pretty good, albeit obviously he'd never allow wearing just underwear the way it's really done - and with that, I ...

A-Rod in boxer briefs!
umpbump.com — If this isn’t a pathetic excuse of an attempt at spreading a viral web video, I don’t know what is. What’s Activision thinking, putting four elite athletes in a room, with nary boxer briefs and a pink shirt? That we’re just going to post it!? We have no shame… (For those of you scoring at home, yes, that’s Tony Hawk, Michael Phelps, Kobe Bryant, and his studness, Alex Rodriguez) ...

Kobe’s Undies Are As Baggy As His Game Shorts
Signal to Noise — Activision goes all Risky Business parody to promote the newest Guitar Hero. I see no problem with that. Tony Hawk makes sense — doesn’t Activision also make his Pro Skater games? — and Kobe Bryant is just funny, as is ...

Hoopnation spielt Klavier und Kobe Gitarre
HoopNation — Man muss sich im Leben immer neue Ziele setzten - richtig? Seit ein paar Tagen, versuche ich mich wirklich dazu zu bewegen etwas zu lernen, was mich schon immer fasziniert hat: Klavier spielen! Leider habe ich es auf dem Gymnasium verpasst, die Musikstunden ernst zu nehmen - was aber wohl eher an der Art und Weise meiner lieben Musiklehrerin lag. Nun mit 27 packt mich der Ehrgeiz und ich werde mir Klavierstunden nehmen - erste Versuche auf Garageband von apple sind schon gelungen. Aber wen interessiert das schon auf einem Basketball blog? Vielleicht Kobe Bryant - der ja nun ein richtiger Saenger und Gitarrenspieler wurde - mit ...

Alex Rodriguez Endorses Guitar Hero; Is Whimsical
Walkoff Walk — Watch everyone's favorite Yankee third baseman gets together with some of his celebrity sports pals and endorses Matt_T's favorite video game, Guitar Hero. Spoofing 1980s movies is just so retro. (We owe some of that Canadian Coke to Ball Don't Lie)

Alex Rodriguez Needs to Put Some Pants On … …
JoeSportsFan.com — Saw this for the first time during Sunday’s football marathon and was rightfully creeped out. Our cyber neighbors over at The Big Lead were a few steps ahead of the game, having posted the video on Friday. Even so, we feel the need to investigate. Or at least, raise a few comments and questions. Watch and we’ll discuss. They’re all wearing pink with no pants. Since he was once accused of rape, Kobe has opted for large shorts to keep the women viewers at ease. Michael Phelps has been seen with nothing but a Speedo on in the past, so out of the four ...

Guitar Hero Commercial: Transfixingly Creepy
The Big Lead — Guitar Hero is a great game.  An awesome game.  So awesome, in fact, that it kept my college roommate, who can play real guitar and can sing decently, from interacting with members of the opposite sex his senior year.  Must…master…Freebird… It appeals to men across age, race and class divides, spurred by their unified desire to strut with the sexual dynamism of Jimi Hendrix and oggle/hook up with the aggressive and freaky rock chick, with her thong unabashedly on display. Fun both alone and in groups, the game sells itself.  So, why are ...

A-Rod, sans pants, promotes Guitar Hero

A funny thing happened on the way to Taco Bell...
Oh, It's THOSE Girls: Baseball Blog — I hope that everyone remembered to claim their free taco yesterday. I greeted my co-workers with "Happy Free Taco Day!" [because I am a dork]. And a few of them humored me by going with me to Taco Bell to claim our loot. None of us particularly LIKE Taco Bell, a fact that they pointed out to me a few times, but I informed them that Jason Bartlett had worked very hard to steal free tacos for us, and by god, we are going to eat them. It's the principle of the matter. None of my coworkers care a lick about baseball, and know Jason Bartlett only in the context that he is the October hottie on my Twins wall calender. I ...

The Dugout: World Tour
FanHouse — Filed under: Yankees, The DugoutLost in all this World Series hullabaloo and the discussions about who did what right or wrong is the very serious issue of a Guitar Hero commercial where some people we know get in their underwear and dance around like the freewheelin' Tom Cruise circa 1983. If you haven't seen it yet, here it is: Tonight's Dugout may be stopped in the middle and continued two days from now, but read what you can after the jump. ...

Вториот е задњата реклама на Најк за новата сезона со Леброн и неговата пудра, а третата е Коби во улога на рокер. Заедно со Мајкл Фелпс, Алекс Родригез и 100-кратниот победник на Тур Д Франс. ...

Celtics-Lakers plots and subplots
LEEInks — Post By Drew “Great” Scott, a WEEI.com intern As I started thinking about the Celtics going for their 13th consecutive win tonight against the Los Angeles Lakers at the TD Banknorth Garden, somehow my mind shifted to commercials. Is any commercial really more nauseating than the newest Guitar Hero commercial that features Kobe Bryant? Could they have amassed a more obnoxious group of individuals to dance around a living room in Risky Business-influenced attire? Once Mr. March (a.k.a. Alex Rodriguez) slides onto the screen holding down the ...
