Video: Kobe channels Cruise in new 'Guitar Hero' commercial

By J.E. Skeets

Wow. Activision is really pulling out the big guns to pimp their new Guitar Hero video game. Paying tribute to the famous lip-synching scene from "Risky Business," the first commercial features Kobe Bryant rocking the mic, Alex Rodriguez and Michael Phelps on the guitars, and Tony Hawk playing the drums. The Internet (and Shaq) is going to eat this one up.

(Thanks to BDL reader James for the heads up. You rock!)
