Riley McIlwain is a Guitar Hero! THE STORY: In 2007 Riley and I filmed an impromptu home-made music video to Aerosmith's rock classic, "Livin' On The Edge". Months later I would edit, and post this video to YouTube. Last month, Boston's classic rock radio station, 100.7 WZLX launched a radio contest - the rules: Make a video of your best air-guitar or guitar-hero performance to any Aerosmith song and upload the video to YouTube. The video with the most votes would win. The grand prize? A back-stage meet & greet with Steven Tyler and Joe Perry of Aerosmith, free tickets to their June 16th concert, a copy of the game "Guitar Hero" and a chance to open for Aerosmith - performing Guitar Hero on-stage before the show! And by now I'm sure you know the rest... we entered that video, and thanks largely in part to your kind votes - we handidly won the contest with over 60% of the votes! This video is a short documentary highlighting the adventures of that grand prize victory. +++++++++++++ Watch Riley's full performance: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s3eVP9wHHo8 WZLX's Contest Page: http://tinyurl.com/mozevl Our "Livin' On The Edge" Entry: http://tinyurl.com/ktqj3p Heather's Video Entry: http://tinyurl.com/mfjaow +++++++++++++ Starring: Riley McIlwain & Heather McNamara Filmed by: Riley McIlwain, Jonathan Paula, & Carl Malm Edited & Narrated by: Jonathan Paula An ideo Production - © 2009.
