Trivia
- She appears as an unlockable skateboarder in Activision's Tony Hawk's Proving Ground.
- Judy Nails is based on Judita Wignall, from bands The Halo Friendlies and Scouts of St. Sebastian, who also provided motion capture for the character in the first two games. She could also be based on Sid Vicious's Girlfriend Nancy Spungen, since Johnny Napalm is inspired by him, and Johnny is dating Judy.
- On a Best Buy ad for World Tour on GameSpot, she appears as the singer, and her look is a "soft" version of her GH3 look, she lacks her tattoos and piercings and has a friendly expression (mainly because Pandora was reinstated into the game's cast, since her looks in GH3 were said to be a merger of the styles of both rocker girls).
- In Guitar Hero Aerosmith under her 'Dirty Yellow' outfit description it states that Judy hangs out with Johnny Napalm too much. From this, some infer that she may be dating him.
