Guitar Hero: Metallica misspells Lynyrd Skynyrd, I laugh so hard my sides hurt

Guitar Hero: Metallica Misspells Band Name [Guitar Hero]
Kotaku — ... to put all the game's featured band names on the cover of Guitar Hero: Metallica. Nobody at Activision edited said list. So we're left with a cover that features band names like, well, Metallica. Queen. Alice in Chains. Slayer. And Lynyrd Skynrd. Where's the problem? That's not how you spell Lynyrd Skynrd. It's Lynyrd Skynyrd. Small mistake to make, and an easy one at that, but that won't make the laughter (or facepalming for Skynyrd fans) go away.

Joystiq — Take a look at this close-up of the recently released Guitar Hero: Metallica box art. Note the highlighted name "Lynyrd Skynrd," located in the top left. The band's name is clearly misspelled. The correct spelling is "Lynyrd Skynyrd" -- duh. Some conspiracists might insist that the error is intentional, enforced by Metallica (take note: "Metallica" is spelled correctly), which secretly despises Skynyrd's musical success and demanded humiliation in the form of a misspelling. Seriously? No, that can't be it. ...

Fidgit Atom Feed — ... I make a lot of typos, which is one of the reasons I haven't been hired to make the covers of videogames. However, I might have a future at Activision. As Rolling Stones notes, they blew Lynyrd Skynyrd's name on the cover of Guitar Hero: Metallica. Here's a zoom to the left side of the box: ...

Lynyrd Skynrd?
That VideoGame Blog — ... being attached to Guitar Hero: Metallica is enough to make any rock n’ roller’s head spin. This dizziness could in turn cause little slips by team members in, say, the game’s cover design. Rolling Stone broke out the magnifying class and found that Lynyrd Synyrd is missing the fourth Y on the cover. An honest mistake on a strange name, but with more laoffs looming in this recession I’d hate to be the gu that missed that Y. ...
