The Final Riot!
Paramore are among the featured artists in Activision's eagerly awaited Guitar
Hero World Tour, due in stores on October 26th. A master recording of "Misery
Business" is included on the game's main setlist, while frontwoman Hayley
Williams is among the playable characters (alongside such icons as Jimi Hendrix,
Ozzy Osbourne, Billy Corgan, Sting, and others) and the game's very first female
character.
"RIOT!" made an explosive chart entry upon its June 2007 release. Boasting two
top 5 Modern Rock radio hits in the RIAA platinum-certified "Misery Business"
and the gold-certified "crushcrushcrush," the album quickly went on to achieve
RIAA platinum certification, with sales now well over 1,000,000. An array of
accolades followed, including a "Best New Artist" nod at this year's 50th Annual
Grammy Awards, a "Best Rock Video" nomination at the 2008 MTV Video Music
Awards, and "Band of the Year" honors from Alternative Press.
