Jonny's name mangled in Guitar Hero 5

Featured Replies

As you may or may not know, Guitar Hero 5 has just been released, which features "In My Place" by Coldplay. I picked it up this morning and wanted to play the song instantly. Now, before each song loads, you get a bit of trivia about each band. Yet the piece of trivia I saw for Coldplay horrified my very eyes:

 

Coldplay guitarist Jonny Buckley and lead singer Chris Martin had cameo appearances in the comedic zombie film Shaun of the Dead.

 

Buckley? BUCKLEY!?!? Oh, the outrage. :veryangry2:

 

Heck, I even took a screenshot:

I'm probably making a big fuss over nothing, and the song is still fun to play, but just imagine all the naive casual fans that may now mistake poor Jonny boy's name! :cry:

Well at least he's not called Will Champion anymore ... saw that happen a few times. :confused:

Damn, I was going to buy Guitar Hero 5 JUST BECAUSE it has Coldplay and they screwed up the damn name!

They best fix that before I get it! :veryangry:

Maybe they didn't have enough space for "Buckland", so they decided to simply use the shorter version "Buckey" ...

Lol, stop being offended, Buckley was a great artist. :laugh3:

Oh dear, at least they wrote Jonny without 'h' !:lol:

Yeah, I hate it when people call him Johnny :dead:

XD That's why I'd rather get The Beatles Rock Band.

Yes that John Lemon was such a great song writer. :rolleyes:

Johnny Buckley is the best guitarist ever.

Buckley ??? what is wrong with these people :veryangry2: is it so hard to write 'buckland'

it's just B.U.C.K.L.A.N.D .

How could they not have people double checking that sort of thing?

 

yeah, really.

does it take that much time to make sure you've got things right?

Heh. Buckley. :dozey:

I wonder if someone who works with Coldplay will buy the game and bring it to Jonny's attention.

It's a Jeff Buckley-Jonny Buckland mutant! :stunned:

way to fact check.

i hate that.

wtf! Lol

:wtf:... Why didn't they double check it?... At least they didn't write "Johnny Buckley" :dozey:
