Airing It Out

Brian Braiker


What is it?

The Guitar Hero Air Guitar Rocker

How much will it cost me?
$30 suggested retail price

Who makes it?

Jada Toys, Inc.

Why should I care?
Because the air guitar is as integral to rock as stairways are to heaven.

How would you describe it?

Strap on the Air Guitar belt buckle and unleash your inner rock demon. By waving a guitar pick over a mini amplifier attached to your belt, you can "play" songs by coordinating the tempo at which you move your hand. Simply strum the air and the amp crunches out a righteous power chord. It's up to you strum in time ... and, unless you happen to be Slash, look like a moron. It comes loaded with 10 guitar riffs, ranging in skill level from 1-5, including Black Sabbath's "Iron Man," Deep Purple's "Smoke on the Water," Motorhead's "Ace of Spades," Van Halen's "You Really Got Me", Boston's "More Than a Feeling," and five original Air Guitar Rocker freestyle riffs. Perfect for parties, especially when you're too wasted to play the actual Guitar Hero.

When can I get my hands on it?

Mosh. Uh, sorry. March.

What's your verdict?

More than a feeling: go forth and shred
