I have no words to describe this. Once you have your own video game, you ascend to super-human status, right? Revisited lots of Aerosmith videos after this one. Friday, June 27, 2008 Aerosmith and Activision launched their own Guitar Hero game. Check out more photos on Spin.com.
The classic….”There goes my old girlfriend…”

For the last two (SOLD OUT) nights I’ve had the pleasure of photographing our favorite Swedish mega-rock-and-roll-superstars, The Hives.
