‘Guitar Hero' Inspires Musical Jewelry
Marissa Liu — September 4, 2009 — Pop Culture
Have you ever wished that Rock Band and Guitar Hero included less traditional instruments, like a cowbell? If you answered yes, then know that you are not alone. The Cowbell Hero necklace is the latest in Guitar Hero inspired jewelry. There is even a Cowbell hero pin for those of us who may not gravitate towards necklaces.
These handmade charms may have been created as an homage to Christopher Walken’s infamous SNL skit, ‘More Cowbell,’ or as a plea to the powers that be at Sony, MTV Games and EA. Either way, the Cowbell Hero necklace is one charming piece of Guitar Hero inspired jewelry.
