Hello folks, I'm Johnny Cash

Adding to their list of digital persona appearances in Guitar Hero 5, Activision have circulated a trailer featuring none other than rockabilly legend Johnny Cash.
We’ve known for a while now that “Ring Of Fire” was to be included in the game’s set list, but nothing had been mentioned about playing as the Man in Black himself.
In more GH5 news, it’s revealed that a “new” feature has been added called “franchise compatibilty”. The long of short of it is: you know that thing you could do with Rock Band 1 songs, importing them all to Rock Band 2? Well now you can do that with Guitar Hero. Sure it’s unoriginal, but it’s a feature that’s long overdue, so you can only be thankful Activision finally caved on this one. We’re not talking every title here, just World Tour onwards. This is also good news for the chumps who bought Guitar Hero: Greatest Hits, like me, which is also going to be forwards compatible. Maybe it’ll mean I get some value out of that game after all.
