Okay, now I wish I'd gone to CES: Gadget Lab has a video of a man named "Nitrous Roxide" playing the Guitar Hero Air Guitar Rocker toy. It's a belt buckle that lets you play a bunch of different guitar riffs from bands like Deep Purple and Van Halen just by waggling your hand in front of your crotch, on tempo.
The five different famous riffs included are Black Sabbath's "Iron Man," Deep Purple's "Smoke on the Water," Motorhead's "Ace of Spades," Van Halen's "You Really Got Me," and Boston's "More Than a Feeling."
Five more original riffs will also be included in the $30 toy, slated to ship during March 2008.
Later in the year, maker Jada Toys will introduce different styles of buckle and "Air Cartridges" with more heavy metal and 80's riffs.
Says Gadget Lab: "The belt buckle detects strums of the air plectrum, while the belt unit plays the sounds. The songs, stored on little expansion packs, are divided into each note: all the player must be able to do is keep to the track's tempo, and he or she can rock on."
