The unnamed singer is a recurring, non-playable character in the entire Guitar Hero series. Though the character has gone through minor redesigns from one game to the next, he is depicted invariably as a tall, white, brown-haired man dressed in a black wifebeater tanktop (or a white baseball T-shirt with black sleeves, in GH2 and GH80s), flat-top sneakers, and jeans. Perhaps the greatest change he has ever undergone relates to his facial look: while, in the first three games, he looked like an average youngster, GH3 designed him with a fringe covering his eyes, a winged rose tattooed on his left shoulder, and an impossibly wide mouth. Many jokes are made about him being the only male singer in the game, such as an apparent ability to imitate anyone's voice or speak any language (or at least Spanish, French, and German). In fact, one idea that is tossed around is that Neversoft might as well not have even included The Female Singer, since he could just imitate a female's voice anyway.
The Singer appears during all performances except for multiplayer matches and instrumental songs, like Cliffs of Dover. He was also the only singer in the series until Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock, when Bret Michaels was introduced as a both a hidden character and a guest character, appearing in Career Mode to sing Talk Dirty to Me and Go That Far. Bret Michaels also mo-capped his performance with the motion-capture suit. The Singer, along with the rest of the band, returns to perform all non-Aerosmith songs in Guitar Hero Aerosmith, with the exception of Walk This Way and King of Rock, both by Run-DMC; DMC himself appears in the game. In Guitar Hero On Tour, The Singer returns just like the other games, but now he replaces the Bass, so he sings and plays the bass at the same time. In Guitar Hero World Tour, The Singer is replaced by random people. The Singer is also replaced by random people in Guitar Hero: Metallica
[edit] Trivia
- In Guitar Hero III, In cutscenes, he doesn't have facial hair, but in gameplay he does.
- In the second Co-op cutscene in Guitar Hero III, listen closely to the drummer at the beginning when he's talking to the lead singer, and you can hear "Hey Eddie". This is probably his (or The Drummer's, or perhaps The Bassist's name).
- In the third single player cutscene in Guitar Hero III, you can see the lead singer write down what appears to be "Eddie" in the contract. Which means that Eddie might is his real name.
- In Guitar Hero World Tour he ,The Drummer, and The Bassist appear in the intro for a couple of seconds.
- To many, he is simply known as "Chin", due to the fact that he has an abnormally large chin. Also, the bassist is known as "Scruffy", due to his facial hair, the female singer is "Jessica", and the drummer is "Bob", both due to the fact that they are normal looking.
