It's amazing how a band can make a comeback, even if they are not around to come back... Aerosmith is the latest example of a legend that is so engrained in our culture that it continues to influence our pop culture.
Guitar Hero featuring songs by top rockers Aerosmith, racked up first-week sales that more than tripled those of the band's most recent studio album. Rolling Stone reports the game 'sold over 567,000 copies in its first week, grossing more than $25 million, at $50 a game. In contrast, the band's last studio album, 2004's Honkin' on Bobo, sold 160,500 copies in its first week, grossing about $2 million".

I find it amazing also b/c it's never before happened that a videogame can resurrect a career. I mean, we've seen it with movies -- Pulp Fiction resurrected John Travolta -- but this is definitely a new phenomenon.
