I got a call from an Activision executive I met while shooting The Explosion music video, and he asked for a favor. He wanted me to ask Shepard Fairey if he would participate in a celebrity charity event for Guitar Hero. I did just that, but Shepard couldn’t put the effort in that he would have wanted (it would have been amazing, I’m sure), so as a consolation prize, I offered myself. I had a great time painting the guitar and then installing LED lights. The guitar controller ultimately sold on eBay to somebody for a few hundred bucks. I was happy the effort put into my guitar paid off as most real celebrities only autographed the controller. My light-up monstrosity was eventually was one of the higher-bid auctions.
