Elroy Budvis is a character that can be unlocked in Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock, along with Metalhead, on the Wii and PS2 versions only - the other versions have God of Rock and series staple Grim Ripper instead. His actions are identical to that of Lars' He looks like a flashy Elvis Presley impersonator like the ones seen in Las Vegas, except that Elroy only plays guitar instead of singing. In fact, his own biography hints at a possible meeting with Elvis (though he is not mentioned by name - see below). The subtitle for the guitar that comes with him is called "Elroy's Gee-tar". His name also implies that he was inspired by Elvis. (Elroy Budvis)
He also appears in Guitar Hero: Aerosmith (where he has 3 new costumes: Spokane, Transylvania, and Fort Knox), Guitar Hero World Tour (as one of the default characters), and Guitar Hero Metallica (where he is unlockable once again).
[edit] Biography
Li'l Elroy started banging on the ivories when he was 6. The neighborhood kids weren't too nice about his love for the keys telling him: "Sissy-boys play the piano!". It didn't take long for him to pick up the guitar after that. In a band since he was 12 - his love of the steel strings has never faltered. Then a producer gave him a steady studio job - until the day he met a legend in the flesh - he learned the chops from this idol of a by-gone era and soon he was handed his trademark massive golden belt buckle. From that day on his motto has been: "Heavy Metal, Punk, Polka? It's all rock 'n' roll to Elroy baby." -- Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock in-game bio
