The Romantics Sue Makes of 'Guitar Hero' Over Excellent Cover Song
Do you remember The Romantics? The group had a hit in 1980 with "What I Like About You." Of course, now you remember. Is there anything else you remember this foursome for? No, we didn't think so.
It turns out you can now also remember them as the one-hit-wonders that sued Activision because the cover version of "What I Like About You" included in the last version of 'Guitar Hero' was simply too good.
Activision, Red Octane, Harmonix, and Wave Group Sound are named in a suit that alleges that the cover version included in the game is so good (read: realistic), fans can't tell the difference between the original and the cover.
The most absurd part is that the Romantics are trying to get the game pulled from store shelves, several months after its release!
