Ann Wilson loved watching her son play "Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock." Heart's lead singer is honored to have her song "Barracuda" featured in the video game, adding that it's a good way of passing music on to younger generations. "I have a son who's 12, and when he was 10 it was hard for him," she said. "But he got into it. He got a chair, took his shirt off, got his guitar on and he got good. It was fun to see him play the songs on that game."

However, it might be a warning sign that the kids are playing too many video games as opposed to breaking out old records and actually touching vinyl, touching the music, seeing it move, and not watching a load bar on a screen. Viva la rock. And I will be excited to see Heart at Raley field. Also, I'm so glad the author said 'former lead singer' and not 'original lead singer' of Van Halen. Long live David Lee Roth, man.
