Stan Bush's 'The Touch' now in Guitar Hero World Tour for free

by Justin McElroy on May 29th 2009 1:00AM

Ostensibly, we're writing this to inform you that Stan Bush's "Transformers" ballad "You Got the Touch" is now available in Guitar Hero World Tour for free. So ... now you know.

Truthfully though, we're writing this post because we horde every chance to embed "The Touch" into Joystiq like a mother stuffing her asthmatic son with vitamins hoping that the nutrients within will help to someday make him stronger. Now, let us be as we let every note of Bush's crooning pump through our veins.

Best $0 I have spent in awhile.

sweet... I'll go download this right away. Now if only It could come out on rockband...

Holy crap! Optimus Prime killed GLaDOS!

I thought that was me for a second.

*I am a genius*

...Still wish it was in Rock Band ;_;

Wow, that's pretty awesome... now we just need the Karate Kid song.

Thank God its the original and not that shitty new remake of it for Transformers 2.

That song fails so hard

Proof:

It's not the original. It's the 2007 version.

I couldn't watch that. It was so horrible

It's really weird seeing the "new version" and comparing it to the original music video here:

They're shot similarly, however the new version hands down sucks.

Oh, if only evolution produced giant transforming robots to prove its theory as fact, then we could all rest easy.

I'm fairly sure that's not part of the original or current model of evolutionary biology. :|

Is he holding the ray sphere?

I believe that is the Spark or something that gives Transformers their life energy or something

Autobot Matrix

I'm guessing you haven't played inFamous...

You both need to be shot, repeatedly.

Thats the Matrix of Leadership, "the one thing, the ONLY thing, that can stand in my way" (as quoted from Unicron). It's has infinite power and the leader of the autobots carries it in his chest. As someone who has not only memorised the entire original Transformers Movie, but also sound effects and lyrics, your comments make me wanna strangle myself with my nunchuck cord.

I hope you aren't talking to me Foetoid. :X I know this damn movie and love it. I was just too lazy to explain.

I think you all need to be shot for failing to get the joke...

I've would've much rather had the Transformers theme by Lion, but free is free.

Eh, a bit to sappy and soft for my personal tastes.

Reminds me of some softer Van Halen, like dreams.

I guess you can’t appreciate music ironically...

Here's the thing about "The Touch"... and just the strange places where that song will suddenly pop up.

I think on a show like Chuck you'd expect to see it and it was appreciated....

but when you're watching a Paul Thomas Anderson film and someone is attempting to build a rock career based on this song its HILARIOUS:

having said all of that its an instant download...

Great! Im so glad I purchased 500 ms points just to get this and then find out that its taken down off the marketplace and re-upped as a free download.

I WANT MY POINTS BACK!!!1 IM SO aNGRY RIGHT NOW IM SHAKING!!!!1

Direct download link for this track on Xbox Live Marketplace: http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-GB/games/offers/0ccf007e-0000-4000-8000-00004156081a?cid=SLink

So is this the song from the animated Transformers: The Movie or a new version?

The pic is telling me yes but that video is of the Megan Fox film. Sorry, I mean Transformers film.

Just reading the post title made the memories come rushing back (of the animated movie).

Good times!!!

Yes the animated version, truly Stan bush's greatest moment. Personally I was more a fan of "Dare" but even more so of "Hunger" which I beleive was performed by NRG.

3:20 hahaha best part of that video such cheesy music for such a gruesome scene xD

awwww God no im gonna cry! Fucking hot rod! He was fine without your help!

"So ... now you know"

And knowing is half the battle!

er, wait... wrong 80's action figure/animated series franchise reinvisioned into 21st century live action film...

transformers did PSAs too you know.

Is it only available in the US?

Would have been cooler if it was "The Touch" from Boogie Nights.

You've got the touch.
You've got the powaaaa.

LOL Still one of the best moments.
Of course, even the ROCKBAND crew in the rank listing called "Dirk and the Digglers" was funny to see too.

Im sooooooo gonna download this mother!!! :)

Where did that great looking transformers picture come from?

Stupid Insects.. too many damn humans in that video, let alone the film, it's all about the robots, did they never see the first G1 series..
Hot Rod was for the kids, he was bloody useless, he moped around series 3 until Prime reappeared about series 4..

i agree with PN04. I liked Dare better.

This song is everywhere.

Great. Old washed out guys trying to look hip. They just should have used the original song. LAME!
