Gene Simmons branded guitar to come for Rock Band and Guitar Hero

It seems that KISS bassist Gene Simmons wants a piece of the Guitar Hero/Rock Band pie and has decided to throw his (very metal) hat into the ring with the Gene Simmons AXE guitar. You'll be able to pick up the Gene Simmons Wireless AXE when it drops at retailers on November 15 and will retail for $80. It will also ship with a dongle, making it compatible with both the PS3 and PS2 versions of Rock Band and Guitar Hero.

The Wii version will be coming December1st and unfortunately will only be compatible with Guitar Hero titles, but if you're interested you may want to hold off until January 31st for a second version of the Axe that will work with both Guitar Hero and Rock Band. Xbox 360 owners will have to wait until April 2009.
