Changes: Eddie Knox

Revision as of 00:46, 14 July 2011

Eddie Knox (also known as Arthur Rose) is the 6th character and appears for the first time in Guitar Hero II, but returned in Guitar Hero: World Tour. There has been no official statement describing why Eddie Knox was not included in Guitar Hero III. He is a greaser, which means he follows trends established in the 1950s (which represent the birth of rock, in the form of rockabilly), so his style can be compared to that of Elvis Presley , Eddie Cochran , Chuck Berry , and Brian Setzer . He appears on the cover of the Xbox 360 version of Guitar Hero II, along with Casey Lynch.

Biography

When he's not cruisin' in his '55 Chevy, Knox brings his hard-working rock to any stage he sets foot on. A real road dog, Knox claims that as long as he's got his hollow body and his pomade, he ain't too far from home. -- Guitar Hero II, Guitar Hero World Tour, and Guitar Hero: Metallica (where "Chevy" is replaced with "hot rod") in-game bio
