The Who-autographed Rock Band guitar controllers auctioned for Teenage Cancer Trust
21
Prolific peripheral manufacturer Mad Catz has again teamed with The Who frontman Roger Daltrey to support the Teenage Cancer Trust -- and this time they've gotten Pete Townshend to leave his mark on this unique charity event. Both legendary rock gods have signed a pair of Mad Catz's Wireless Wooden Fender Stratocaster controllers (no strings attached) for Xbox 360 versions of Rock Band.
These cherry red rarities are up for auction on eBay -- one here and the other here -- until 9PM ET on Sunday, April 3. All proceeds will go to the UK-based Teenage Cancer Trust.
Okay, now can we get a YEEEEEEAAAHHH?!

I thought auctioning stuff for Japan earthquake relief was all the rage nowadays

Bah, we have enough problems here. Not only that but the decades of UN turning a blind eye to abuse of Muslim nations on the African people have finally reached a boiling point with the whole Lybia & Sudan business. Japan can take care of itself.

While the problems in north Africa are pretty important, I don't think that means we should leave Japan to fend for itself after 11.000 people died and nearly 17,000 are unaccounted for.

While I do not condone pedophilia, I can't help but feel your statement is a bit inappropriate in itself. Actually, I think you're missing the point here.

Wouldn't it make more money as a real guitar?

Even if they did these two they definitely should've also had at least one autographed Squier Strat Pro Guitar, considering the amount of money they're going to go for.

Just shut up. We get it. You like The Who. Now, if you don't actually have a point except biasedly stating things that came out of your ass, shut up and go away. I don't care whether you're "The Only Girl" or a 35-year-old fat dude who lives in their parents basement. Of course, the latter would be unappealing for a nickname.

James, if you want an "YEEEAAAAHHH", you forgot to say something stupid and put your sunglasses on. You know how it goes.

It's too bad that Jimmy Page would never do anything like this because, you know, rythym games aren't 'pure' or something.
Seriously. Rock Band: Led Zeppelin. Do it.

...uh wow. Rather hostile, huh? I didn't mean to offend. I don't know who "The Who" is, but there's no need to insult them. ...and yet you still miss the point. Dude, we're doing it for the Teens with Cancer.
It's not just about the guitar.
