An Exclusive Hands-On Preview Of "Guitar Hero Live" With Rob Gronkowski And Jamaal Charles

There are certain video games that were just made for socializing. While titles like Call Of Duty and NBA 2K are awesome bonding moments between buddies whether offline or on PSN and XBOX Live, there is nothing quite like the jam fest that is the Guitar Hero series. Making it's debut on next generation consoles this Fall, Guitar Hero Live is the latest and most realistic installment in the series. The iconic game's guitar controller was completely overhauled. Instead of using the traditional row of five colored frets used by previous Guitar Hero games, Live utilizes a new design with six frets arranged into two rows of three, designated by black and white-colored notes in-game. Possibly the biggest change in the game is that no longer are you playing to a crowd of cartoonish-computerized characters. Instead, there is a real-life crowd that you are playing to that will react in real-time to each every note your rip or miss. It's incredible. As Activision announced the return of their highly successful franchise, STASHED was on hand to get a hands-on test of the game. We rocked out with the new controller, did some stage-diving, and even talked with some NFL All-Pros about their excitement for the game. Super Bowl Champion and noted party animal, Rob Gronkowski sat down with us and talked about his experience with the game along with one of the NFL's top running backs Jamaal Charles.
