The musician used to spend a large chunk of his leisure time playing the computer game.

He eventually banned it because he had become so fanatical.

‘Guitar Hero was cool because it was something I could identify with. My skills are lousy, but there was one period, for a couple of months, where I became completely f**king obsessed,’ he explained in Kerrang! magazine.

‘ eventually packed it up and put it in the closet because I was horribly addicted to it!’

Amy Lee has also revealed her penchant for video games. The Evanescence singer often passes time with the hobby.

‘ love Little Big Planet! My all-time favourite video game character is Link from Legend Of Zelda, but Little Big Planet is my favourite game,’ she revealed.

‘When I was back home I could honestly sit there and play that game for three hours straight, easy!
