Our previous interviews with celebrities playing video games exceeded our expectations, so when I got the call for a side session with Joba Chamberlain playing Guitar Hero: Aerosmith, I dashed through Broadway traffic to do the interview. Sponsored by Microsoft and Xbox 360, Joba was taking on other Live gamers in their latest Game With Fame event and as it turned out, I had walked in on the hurler facing someone in "Dream On"... on hard! Check the full interview after the break!
