The Bon Jovi frontman has told the BBC ā€œI don’t know that I would have wanted it either. To hear someone else’s voice coming out of a cartoon version of me? I don’t know. It sounds a little forcedā€.

Does it ever. He then reveals that he was approached by Activision to appear in Guitar hero 5 himself, but said nothankyou.

ā€œI had the paperwork, they wanted me to be on that game and I just passed,ā€ the long-haired heartthrob said. ā€œBut no-one even broached the subject with me that I would be singing other people’s stuff. I don’t know how I would have reacted to that. I don’t know that I would have wanted it either.ā€

True story: I won a karaoke competition at a pub in Barcelona in 1998 singing ā€œBlaze of Gloryā€.
